Future Jazz mix

tvmann · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 29, 04

I found out about Future Jazz or New Jazz a while back from a friend who likes old-style Jazz. He wanted me to make a DJ mix of New Jazz tracks, so here it is. This music is influenced by jazz, house, and samba and has female vocals on some tracks so it sounds sexy.

Future Jazz can be produced electronically, some of it sounds very un-electronic and just like a real Jazz band. Old style jazz can have complicated rhythms and an unstructured sound, but most Future Jazz that I've heard so far has the conventional 4 beats in a bar. However the first track in this mix has 5 beats per bar.

This is not rave music but it could be good for chillout or as a party warmup mix, or for general listening.

The mix and a short sample are on MC Hammered's FTP site (thanks for the site, sir) in the Uploads folder in the tvmann sub-folder. Here are the parameters for your FTP program (SmartFTP is a good one).

Address: ftp.mchammered.org or use IP 24.86.13.74
userid: form
password: kaos
port: 69

There is a 1 minute sample in file walker - newjazz1 sample.mp3

The mix file is 70 minutes and 65 MB in file walker - newjazz1.mp3

Or try "right-click, save target as" on the weblinks below instead of using an FTP program. They look correct but don't seem to work from my web browser just yet, will try to fix 'em later. If you have Internet Explorer, optionally hover over the links, right click and click "Copy Shortcut" and IE will send the link to your FTP program.

The sample: ftp://form:[email protected] sample.mp3

The mix: ftp://form:[email protected]

I have the links coded at the bottom of my first post but they don't work on my computer. Maybe a problem with my Internet Explorer or the XP.

AARGH damn html links.

I didn't do anything to the html links in my first post and now they work! Same thing with Jimboski's mix as referenced in another thread. Links previously did not work.

Magic has been worked by MC Hammered or a Bill Gates XP update maybe?

Anyway download this and try it with a glass of wine sometime. I can put up a tracklist if anyone wants. Main artists are Nicola Conte, Behrouz, DJ Joeski. Also Andy Caldwell who was DJing in a Vancouver club last week.
