Dubspot Radio Rewind: DJ Chicken George (Peddlin' 45s Mix) | Dubspot

Dubspot

This episode of Dubspot Radio Rewind revisits Austin, Texas-based Jazztronica innovator, DJ Chicken George with a selection of soul blended jazz grooves fused with funk and hip hop.

Like much of the architecture in the streets of New York, a rich history is always present in DJ Chicken George’s mixes. His ode to the city takes a variety of soulful influences and brings them together with a modern glow through remixes and edits, resulting in a style he calls ‘jazztronica.’ Like a cool breeze on a warm city night, this exclusive mix carries a joy that persists in the face of a world-weariness. Mixed with a selection of vinyl 45s, DJ Chicken George pays homage towards artists tied to New York in some way. Known from his podcast series Peddlin’ Jazztronica!, Chicken George works hard as a one-man music hustlin’ machine who has performed alongside artists such as Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Saul Williams, The Roots, The Neptunes, and more. He even has a pizza in Austin named after him! Tune in and absorb a blend of jazzy grooves, soul, downtempo, and all things Jazztronica!
