This week at SOUNDLIB we’re honored to have our friend KUNAL MERCHANT spin with us.

Kunal recently released the critically acclaimed Hindustani Gangster project with his production team Music Without Borders. The album, which has been featured on Jay-Z’s blog and will be in GQ India this month, fuses Indian-style beats and sounds with Jay-Z’s American Gangster album to refashion it as the passionate tale of a Mumbai hustler’s sordid lifestyle.

You can check out the album here: hindustanigangster.com

KUNAL’s influences range from Depeche Mode to Outkast, Massive Attack to Classical Indian music, and he kills it on the decks. He’ll be doing a special Biggie set to commemorate the anniversary of the Brooklyn legend’s passing.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be on hand delivering his trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

As always, it’s FREE all night. The party starts at 9pm. Hope to see you there. Flier and pertinent info below:

/// This week at SOUNDLIB we’re featuring a special guest DJ set from SLF’s own EZRA of SUPER HI-FI, the Afro-Dub band that has been burning down the house each month at our Afro-Dub Sessions party. On the decks, Ezra prefers to be known by his tongue-in-cheek alter-ego, DJ Trainwreck, but don’t let the name fool you. He’s definitely got some HEAT, and he’ll be mining his deep record collection for an all vinyl set of goodness.

Aside from fronting the sensational Super Hi-Fi, he also plays in the San Francisco-based afrobeat band Aphrodesia, and he writes for various publications, including the Village Voice. On the SLF blog, Ezra recently penned an excellent, critical response to the New York Times‘ mixed review of Fela! The Musical. You can and should read that here.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be on hand delivering his trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

As always, it’s FREE all night. The party starts at 9pm. Hope to see you there. … ///

This week at SoundLib features special guest DJ, underground legend JAZE ART-REMOTE. The Puerto Rican Bronx-native and New York party veteran has built a name internationally through his funk, soul, disco and house mix CDs, and is a staple of the New York dance community with his frequent appearances behind the decks at Soulgasm NY and the House Dance Conference. He also holds it down for breakers and House Dancers at Houston’s famous B-Boy Hodown.

Cut from the cloth of NY’s storied Hip-Hop block parties, JAZE has a lot of musical range, both on the decks and on the dancefloor. It’s an honor to have him bless us with music this week at SoundLib, where we’ll team up to deliver our trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

More on JAZE at the end of this post. Here’s the necessary info on the party:

Here’s some more info on my man, Jaze:

Jaze-Art Remote: birth name Geraldo Torres (Jerry) is a true party-going New Yorker. Absorbing all of the flavors of being a Puerto Rican in New York party and night life from the late 70’s to the present time, he has the mind and versitilty to express his emotions through his creativity in his dance and his DJ’ing.

Growing up in The Bronx with his family having parties for all occasions, he was exposed to the Salsa dances as well as the latest music and dances at the time. Disco, Funk, and Soul. Introduced to Jazz music by an older cousin, Jazz music was his first love in Music. Hanging out with other friends in the parks, he witnessed the early stages of Hip-Hop. The MCing, b-boying, beat-boxing, grafitti, and the block parties he instantly turned to aiming to be a DJ. Moving to Brentwood, Long Island, he discovered a new sound called House music. Soon he met his first two DJ mentors in House. Scott “Spoo” Wilson and Vincent “Chenzo” Hughes. After High School and serving his counrty, he returned back to the New York night life where he met Jeremias Santiago who became his 3rd and most inspiring DJ mentor. Jeremias taught him how to DJ in clubs and mix other music he loved such as Soul, Disco and Funk. Without being in the main light of the club scene, and dance scene, Jaze has made an influence with the main innovators in the field of Dance & DJing. His trade mark staements of “It’s your Favorite Underground DJ, whether you know it or not” holds true. Through the help of many others, dance icons sell his mixes around the world, as well as here in New York. Through his talents at DJing, he has turned his hobby and love for music into a full-time career. He has guest appeared in the biggest dance gatherings such as B-Boy Hodown, House Dance Conference, and Soulgasm NY, and his DJing has brought him all over the world, including Stokholm, Brno, Prague, Bratislava, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Montreal, and many others.

He’s more known throughout the nation and world through his mixed CD’s, but when he does get a chance to expose his mixing talents, there is never anyone that is dissatisfied in his selction as well as his switch in genres in the many styles of music he selects to play. He will leave people feeling in a better and peacful mind when he is control in the DJ booth.

Keep a look out for the sayiong “Your favorite underground DJ, whether you know it or not: Jaze-Art Remote” and witness his DJing for yourself.
