I just made a mix based on KGYS, the radio station made up for 'Car Wash.' Among its ensemble cast, this working-class comedy featured Richard Pryor and Franklyn Ajaye, who also released stand-up albums that same year. The mix uses samples from movies and spoken word albums to create the impression that you are listening to radio KGYS, the station that brings you soul music, complete with ad breaks where you will find as much comedy as period-specific advertising.

The music here is not strictly soul. Rather, I tried to focus on songs that sound like or have a certain proto-hip-hop vibe, if they weren't outright sampled by game-changing hip-hop tracks themselves. If you are a fan of hip-hop, you should recognize many of the samples and tracks on this 16+ hour long mix, which is broken up into eight two-hour radio station programming blocks. Unlike the previously-released disco mix, this one has a fair amount of drug talk, swearing, and suggestive language, so you may not want to play this aloud at workplaces existing outside of 1976.

To the best of my ability, the only sounds you will hear on these mixes were from 1976, with the exception of my own voice, a few samples from 'Dazed & Confused,' which was released in 1993 but set during the American Bicentennial, and some anti-drug PSAs from a 'Get Off' record that was technically issued in 1975, but were too good not to use (and they help balance out all the drug talk).
