Mix Tape: Frank Booker - Boogie Tape

Staying on the 'mysterious musician' theme that kicked off yesterday with The Weeknd's new release, here's a little somethin' somethin' in the boogie lane from the one called Frank Booker.

If you're not familiar with our man Frank, he's a DJ and producer based in my new home of Auckland City.

Frank's released a few tasty slabs of wax through labels such as Untracked Recordings from the UK and Wonderful Noise in Japan.

He's also got a few other projects in the oven currently, as well as playing the role of co-host on the most excellent 'Hit It & Quit It' radio show with Recloose.

So what does this impressive CV add up to? Basically, when it comes to making or playing music, Frank knows his shizz. So when I dropped ears on his latest mix, Boogie Tape, I was pretty damn sure it would be the business.

And the business it is. Just under an hour of classic boogie, soul, funk and disco which has been burning up my iPod this morning, and will most probably continue to do so over the Christmas season and beyond.

Herrrrrrrre's Frank: "I decided to put together a 'pause button tape' style mix together of some of my favourite Soul & Boogie tunes (CLASSICS!), like I used to do before owning turntables (the early 90s!)

"Obviously the technology has changed (thanks Ableton!), but the vibe is the same: Quick cuts, all killer, no filler!"
