¡STOP PRESS! : “Sunshine Alert” by Christophe

 

On enquiring about an Edit Christophe (Lovetempo) played on a mixtape about 6 years ago, I was impressed to hear that it wasn’t an edit,  but part of the live mix…  Rockers Revenge “Walking on Sunshine” (Acapella)… into “Orange Alert” by Metro Area.

Anyway, he’s only gone and cut them together in a nice clean Edit for y’all !  

Christmas has come early…  This is the sh*t!

Gary’s Gang “Let’s Love Dance Tonight” (Jimmy The Twin Edit)

Instrumental edit of this famously sampled disco classic.  From the vaults of an old harddrive done 2 or 3 years ago. I did this unknowingly a few weeks before Danny Krivit released his version;  Quite similar, both removing the cheesey bits and making the intros and outros DJ friendly.  His has a longer intro and he cut out the break in the middle.  Mine has an extended middle break, and is slightly slower cos I kept the original tempo ….  so for what it’s worth..  here’s the one I did :)

Hope you like!

40 minutes of toasty warm 80’s Soul…

“Ja$$ Money vol 1″ mixed by Griffin

==========================================

Soul Power 74

Released 10th July 2009.

Features James Brown, B.B. King, Fania Allstars and so many more.

Here’s the review from Apple.com…

In 1974, the most celebrated American R&B acts of the time came together with the most renowned musical groups in Africa for a 12-hour, three-night long concert held in Kinshasa, Zaire. The dream-child of Hugh Masekela and Stewart Levine, this music festival became a reality when they convinced boxing promoter Don King to combine the event with “The Rumble in the Jungle,” the epic fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, previously chronicled in the Academy Award-winning documentary WHEN WE WERE KINGS. SOUL POWER is a verité documentary about this legendary music festival (dubbed “Zaire ‘74”), and it depicts the experiences and performances of such musical luminaries as James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Celia Cruz, among a host of others. At the peak of their talents and the height of their careers, these artists were inspired by this return to their African roots, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zairian audience, to give the performances of their lives. The concert has achieved mythological significance as the definitive Africa(n)-American musical event of the 20th Century. SOUL POWER is crafted from the extensive “outtakes” that remained after making WHEN WE WERE KINGS, which documented the epic title fight, but relegated the music festival to a small, supporting role. The “outtakes” have remained vaulted for the past 34 years, until now. Lensed primarily by celebrated cinematographers Albert Maysles, Paul Goldsmith, Kevin Keating and Roderick Young, SOUL POWER finally provides today’s audience the opportunity to experience this historic musical event in all of its magnificent, filmed glory.

“Here’s To You” …Laminate Radio

Boogie Lovers will be well pleased to here there is some brand new Boogie coming out of a Bristol studio soon. Laminate Radio is a collaboration between Gus Pirelli and Blue Fontaine.  Gus has been flying the boogie flag since I first met him in the 90’s and the Old Blue Mountain days. More recently he toured in Ben Westbeech’s band and now back in Briz he’s in the studio making a sound of his own…  His partner in crime Blue Fontaine (aka DJ Die of Full Cycle, Dope Dragon, Reprazent, Breakbeat Era, V-Recordings fame) is a well acomplished producer that needs no introduction. So I guess we’re gonna get old skool flavas with tough new skool production – Can’t wait !

In the meantime they have delivered a tastey mix tape ahead of the studio stuff… get stuck in

Herbie Hancock – Bring Down The Birds (Deee-Liteful Jazz Edit)

SoulFiesta Edit of the original tune sampled for “Groove is in The Heart” by Deee-Lite. 

Unlike the breakbeat ’bboy edit’ remix released a few years ago, Grandad here was after something a little closer to the original jazz while fixing the problem… The original was a gutting 1min 49sec long.

 So here’s my razor’n'tape edit; Twice as as long as the original with a more intro, a break in the middle and an outro.

Missy Elliot Boogie Re-Edit

Nick Mids has served up a tastey Dub Edit of Missy Elliot’s Old Skool Joint. The orignal tune she covered, One Way’s “Pop It”, was a wicked boogie tune but since it sounds like the Missy backing track reproduced from scratch, rather than sampling, that sweet sound of  82 is beefed up with modern production tools :) …the best of both worlds!

Patrick Adams – Kings & Queens (Wardamercy’s Extended Edit)

Perfect example of one of those old Soul tunes, where you just don’t get enough of a good thing.  So Mr Ward gave this warm and crackly 7″ the extended treatment.
