Feel My Soul – Penis Flytrap DJ Mix

Penis Flytrap is an ongoing DJ side project where I team up with with local digger and musician Derek Kashew to create eclectic vinyl record mixes that feature juicy 70s funk, deep soul, odd 80s and delicious rarities from our dusty LP and 7″ crates.

This latest mix is a two hour journey through funk and soul that echoes the conflicts, loves and drama of modern life but is mostly about having fun :)

Spaced Out 80s Library Records Mix

This all vinyl DJ mix features driving intergalactic late 70s and early 80s synthesizer music from some recently acquired, somewhat exotic production library records.

Production or Library music is royalty free music created to be used in film scores, TV shows, commercials and radio jingles. Although destined for commercial use much of this music is far from conservative and represent cutting edge sounds of the times. As you will hear many of these jams probe deep in to the future with their creative use of vintage synthesizers and advanced studio experimentation while other tracks kick back with vintage jazz and funk grooves.

I named this mix Bibliotheque, the French word for “Library” because the majority of these tracks are from French production houses with a few from the UK as well. Labels include KoKa Media,RCA Media, Spectrum Mood Library and Bruton Music.

Mixing was a challenge as these records are new to me and contain many tracks each with lots of jingles less than than a minute long. Being made for commercial use there were often descriptive track names that describe the mood and tempo which helped find the right track on the fly. There was no time to make a track list but I am happy with this selection that shows off a wide range of cool old school library tracks. Enjoy this mix of rarely heard vinyl and be taken away to a retro 80s sci-fi dramatic adventure through time and space from the big screen and late night TV.
