Ep. 32: Motown Covers with Mike C The Maitre D

Mike Cochran - aka Maitre D - is a Bay Area DJ and a prolific beatmaker who's been crafting hip-hop and R&B tracks for nearly two decades (producing credits include Jidenna, Sadat X, Wordsworth and Guilty Simpson). When he's behind the decks, he can rock any party with his creative open format sets full of original remixes and blends. But one of his favorite gigs of late is playing at Motown on Mondays parties across the country. In this episode, Maitre D pays respect to five Motown covers that take us in all kinds of directions - from reggae to Moog-heavy, to psychedelic.

Maitre D's Selections:

Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hanging On

Donnie Hathaway - What's Goin' On

The Jay Boys - Can't Get Next To You

Hugo Montenegro - You've Got It Bad Girl

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Never Can Say Goodbye
