Dj Sly Bri - A Dj's Life (the Podcast Series)

My sister Natalie would have been 50 on Friday but she passed away in 2017. I did an hour tribute to her today on PartySavers101.com and I am posted the show here for posterity. I play nothing but songs that remind me of her and I tell a few stories about why. Starts with Oran Juice Jones and ends with Gregory Abbott. In between there is freestyle, hip hop, dance music, and a dust rack special or two. If you listen, e-mail me at slybri102@yahoo.com.the picture is from 1973 or so here.

Of course, each of us may have different ideas on which of these freestyle songs have actually been forgotten, but either way I am sure you will enjoy the mixes and understand the concept.

Send a request for the upcoming All-Request Podcast to slybri102@yahoo.com.

This episode, titled "The Streets of South Philly," is dedicated to Billy Cermele, Anthony Lauer, Joey Mas (of course!) and a whole bunch of people that I grew up with on the streets of South Philly. In between the mixes, I will tell you some stories about my time on the streets of South Philly, the people I prowled those streets with, and the types of songs we listened to. We didn't listen to Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd or any of that crap, so if you want to hear acoustic guitar garbage that you can smoke dope to, this isn't the podcast for you.

Because I have been enjoying the summer, I have not been working on the podcast series, but I plan to get back to work on it in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I present to you a mixshow that I used to do for Q102 in Philadelphia called "After Hours," which used to be on every Friday and Saturday from 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. Joel and I used to have free reign to do what we wanted, and we loved doing it because we knew every DJ in town was listening on their way home from the clubs. Send me a comment or question at slybri102@yahoo.com. The track list as as follows: DJ Sly Bri Intro and Remix Q102 Top of the Hour The Perculator - Cajmere

In this episode, I mix for you songs that I wanted to play but, for some reason or another, I could not work into any of the first ten episodes. In addition, you'll hear some of the stories I wanted to tell you before but just could not. Send me an e-mail at slybri102@yahoo.com to let me know you listened, to let me know you are the guy that has been downloading the shows from polar bear country in Northern Canada, that you are one of my blokes from Down Under, or to just to say "yo." The track list is as follows: Set it Off - Strafe Be Mine Tonight - Promise Circle Big Fun - Inner City Baby

This episode is dedicated to Club Scandals inside the Cottage Green in Northeast Philadelphia. I was one of the DJs there for nearly 8 years, from 1991-1999, and it was a top notch place to work. As you will hear, the types of songs and mixes that I played for the people who came to the Cottage Green was wide-ranging and they would go for almost anything. We even played a few country songs, but I certainly did not bother playing any of that crap on this podcast. As always, I hope you enjoy this podcast half as much as I did making it. Keep the great e-mails coming at slybri102@yahoo.com and of course if you remember The Cottage Green send me an e-mail to let me know you listened. The playlist is as follows:
