Help our friends at Records Breakin’ Music help the people of Japan. See the info on their exclusive charity mix below…
Originally released as a promo only CD giveaway in celebration for the Hot Peas and Butta Tokyo party held in Japan back in September 2010 and mix by DJ Skeme Richards using all 7″ original vinyl records. Due to the recent events in Japan, Hot Peas and Butta has teamed up with Record Breakin’ Music to re-release this mix in the form of a download that includes the original artwork which can now be purchased. All proceeds will go to a charity to help the people of Japan deal with the unfortunate events that have struck them in the past few weeks.
We have kept the price of this download low and encourage everyone to support this cause. The people of Japan have supported Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Rare Grooves and other musical genres that have originated in our country to the fullest. They need our support.
We thank you in advance for your contribution and we hope that you enjoy this mix as much as those in Japan have since getting their first taste of Hot Peas and Butta.
100% of the proceeds go toward the Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund via GlobalGiving.org
In celebration of Record Breakin’s 5 year Anniversary we asked our friend dj lil’ dave to do a mix of tunes from the catalog as well some future gems that will be coming out on the label. So enjoy and spread the news!
Also be sure to pick up a copy of the Record Breakin’ 5 Year Anniversary compilation available at http://www.recordbreakin.com/rbm024.html and other fine retail outlets in physical cd or digital format.
Revolutionary, social uplifting, self-actualizing themed mix created in conjunction with the “Music is the Weapon” t-shirt released by Recordbreakin’ Music.

I had to take some time out to give my peoples DJ Junior some props on his year end listing of the best in music for 2009. For those looking for something different in the worlds of Soul, Jazz and more, check out the list below.
Also, check out their weekly podcasts for more on these albums. They’ve got a best of 2009 coming up this week. Click here to check out their PodMatic Page and subscribe via iTunes by clicking here.
Inspired by all the others that have shared list and harassed by others for me to do a list (geez).
It's interesting, throughout the year I heard "…there isn't much good music coming out". Really??? because I have a laundry list of albums that got heavy rotation in this last year and I'm sure will continue to be played on a regular basis.
These are in NO particular order and I'm sure I'm missing some.
Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
Look our for a Best of 2009 edition of Eavesdrop Radio in early January!
Cheers
Junior
