This is part 4 of the infamous Free Form series by Johnson Lee. It features 17 songs. He starts out with a very nice selection of house tunes. The first couple are on the jazzy tip. It transitions to dubbier type house. Midway through the mix it goes into broken beat house. Around song 10, Johnson slows it down to a jazzy lounge downtempo vibe. Overall it is quite a good listen and I'm happy I dug it out of the District Soul archives.

This is the 2nd release in the Free Form series from Johnson Lee. It was mixed and recorded in 2001. No playlist is available.
This is the second release of my bonus mix collection for all of you who are subscribing to the podcast/blog.
This latest installment is a mix with Avery and Johnson Lee on 4 turntables. In fact there's a little history behind this mix from March of 2000. This mix was the very first collaboration between Avery & Johnson. After realizing what great musical chemistry they had between them, they soon formed a partnership which you now know as
District Soul. So to say it was an important mix in lives of both us would be an understatement.
The playlist below is a little more complicated than a typical one. What we did was represent what songs were being played during each track of the original CD that we distributed. Obviously since this is in continuous audio file format you won't have the advantage of using track numbers but it should be good enough as a general guide.
