this downtempo, soulful, underground, all-vinyl dance music mix (recorded in 1997) is a tribute to DJ Pernell Morrison. 

that came about when i decided to upload some of my vinyl-recorded mixes to the internet & figured I'd start with my "Slo-dance" series. reading the tracklist on the J-card for vol. 1, i realized pernell had given me two of the songs i included on the 90-min cassette recording (this is SIDE A). cool, i thought. let me call this one a tribute mix.  [SIDE B OF THIS MIX IS ON MY MIXCLOUD PAGE @ https://www.mixcloud.com/GrooveCageRadio/ ] 

who is DJ pernell? 

his impact on the scene is significant. he is a key player who, in fact, helped shape NYC/NJ's soulful underground dance music scene when he started the colony/black underground dance parties. his crew, i believe, is the 1st mobile DJ crew to bring the truly unadulterated sounds of the NYC/NJ underground music scene outdoors to the coney island boardwalk. at some of his earliest parties the DJ console & even speakers were actually set up on the sands of the beach. recognize the history. respect always, to my brother, dj pernell.
