Dig Deep on Cowbell Radio #23 with Boogie Nite (Lumberjacks In Hell / Glenview)


This month we welcome back Chicago based DJ and long standing Dig Deep Family member Boogie Nite to the show.

Needing little introduction these days, Boogie Nite honed his skills playing on the Windy City's underground party scene alongside a hot bed of iconic DJs, and is a member of the Chicago based Chuck Brothers; a collective of DJ's and Producers which includes DJ Rahaan, Cee White, Bruce Ivery & Afrodesia to name a few.



As a producer, he has released tracks under the name Urban Legendz, and for the last few years has been dropping gem after gem on the prolific Lumberjacks In Hell and Glenview record labels.

His disco-groove come 'house' based Shine EP on Glenview set the scene back in January 2013, and shared a double A-Side with Jamie 3:26 made up Lumberjack In Hell's 7th release in the April.

A couple of releases per year later and Boogie Nite has quietly built up a quality back catalogue which includes Make Me Hot, that came with remixes by Glenn Underground and Rahaan, and a track on 2014 best selling release - The Chicago Service EP.

The Chi EP is due to be released soon on Glenview. Check 'Better Than Yours' for a jump up soulful disco belter...
But as always, his skills behind the decks are the reason we have lined Boogie Nite up for his 3rd mix for the show.

Don't miss this chance to check out Boogie Nite in the mix. Catch it first exclusively on Cowbell Radio.

As usual PT will have a raft of deep cuts covering the usual unusual selections...

Cream Of The Crop - May 2015 Vinyl Chart


We are not even half way through the year but already we have two contenders for freshest track of the year. Topping the vinyl chart this month is DJ Spider's afrotechno bomb 'Nuclear Winter'. It's an infectious heads down stomper from the The Trilogy Tapes label.

Meanwhile the number 2 slot goes to Maalem Mahmoud Guinia, Floating Points and James Holden's 'Mimoum Marhaba' - another fusion of world music and modern day electronica that quickly sneaks up behind you and smacks you about the head with it's brilliance.

There are another 28 recommendations to go at from jazz infused techno to gospel funk and everything in between. Follow the link below for the full chart.
