Preview of my new remix for Dave Taylor aka SoulDeep Inc (Dave Taylor SoulDeep Inc)

Although at 10 mins this is a more of a suite than a mix…

o Raw Tr-707 intro,
o Synth money shot around the 3 min mark, followed by the bass guitar drop…
o Breakdown takes you back to the 707 groove…
o if you haven’t had enough… builds back into a full reprise.

Hope you likey :)

“The Cracks are starting to show” new 4 track EP out on Audio Parallax…  apart from the fact they are downtempo, they are all totally different. Influences would appear to include Electro, Hip Hop, Blues, experimental Rock and Disco and event ambient world music.

The promo said it was..

Quirky Disco Dopeness…

and I couldn’t put it better.  This release is experimental and highly recommended :)

“The Cracks are starting to show” is out soon on Audio Parallax.

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

Brand new on Retrospective,  “Soul Brother” by Fil Lavin …a quality EP …3 house tracks and a downtempo number. My favourite ? The title track I reckon.  Defo getting played this weekend,  …Deep House with an authentic oldskool 90′s feel.

Very tastey.

Out now!

Two new releases on Gazeebo International records

1) This is a Recording – “Southern Neon Lights”

from London’s Jason Slater & Woody a.k.a. ‘This Is A Recording‘.

The OG is a super warm piece of deep instrumental disco… very nice. .  while the Gazeebo’s Northern Funk remix takes on an almost prog-rock trip… deep house style keys… organic drums,  guitar, warm synth bass  and extra spacey sound effects.  The result is properly spaced out!

“Southern Neon Lights” drops February 23rd exclusively on Juno, Beatport & Traxsource.

2) Adults Only 3 “Bedroom Bullies” 

What can I say? I can sum this release in 4 bullet points…

• Just the right cow bells
• Bad ass synth :)
• Old skool space sound effects
• Buy it

Includes great mixes from Rayko, Sleezy McQueen and Zoe Raygun.  Gazeebo’s Censored Mix is the winner for me. Love it :)

All 4 mixes blast off on vinyl in March at a record store near you.

Check http://www.discoedits.com/ for updates

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

Rayko delivers a solid edit of Richie Haven’s “Going Back to My Roots”.  The original is a classic proto-house piano number, but was just begging for a tighten up.  Nice DJ friendly version here…

Cheers Rayko!

Sweet Thunder‘s Disco Funk monster “Everybody’s Singin’ Funk Songs” has been given a tight rework by CaZ. The OG was a brilliant record but a bit wonky in the mix if you got it at the wrong point.   In the words of Clint Eastwood from the film Heartbreak Ridge, this is “Niiiiiiiice and tight”.

CaZ is the new project from the minds of Atlanta-based DJ’s & Producers Mike Zarin & Chris Nicholson.

Visit RecordKicks now !

Italy’s finest purveyors of Jazz, Funk and Soul are having a Christmas Sale, with up to 50% off !!!

So whether you’ve done your Christmas shopping yet or not, get over to Record Kicks.

Here’s a flavour of some recent releases…

The Baker Brothers: ” Time to Testify  ” LP

Yet another cracking release from this long running and well respected funk band,  and this album is choc full of goodies…

…From the steppin’ instrumental funk of  “Genki Strut”, accompanied with sounds of the city, to the laidback Soul of “Heads South”, reminiscent of Steely Dan.

 ”Pieces of the puzzle” goes further left, with flickers of Chilly Peppers or even Another Ratio. Don’t get me wrong this is not commercial, this is moody, minor-key-funk, with a fusion feel.

And saving the best til last, “Once I had a friend” - an instant classic ! Also available as a single b/w the instrument.

The Strides: ” Reclamation ” LP

Credible genre-crossing album, inlcuding Dub, Reggae, Afrobeat and some MC action courtesy of LTL Gzeus.

Being a Soul and Funk boy at heart my fave ones off this ablum are…

“Well Hung Parliament” – uptempo Afrobeat. A nice builder too,  it gets progressively jazzy, then back to the funk.  Wicked track.

And “Umbi Gumbi” – a steady Afro-funk number.  This track is atmospheric but still tough. …and @ around the 103bpm mark it would go nicely in the mix with the above mentioned “Genki Strut”.

Sales end Dec 15th >>

Visit Record Kicks now !

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

“Lesson 1″ is a lovely and quirky disco track from L’Equipe du Son … you can’t help but smile when you here this.

My 2 fave tracks of the E.P…

“Legendary 1979 Orchestra remix” – What a mellow but infectious groove… there’s a sprinkling of Italo here but L1O had put a rare groovey sort of slant on it. I’ve had this just on repeat  :)

“Rayko remix” – the prolific Rayko does it again. He takes the same groove L1O took but waved his Boogie wand over it. This is a tougher remix… more dancefloor oriented. I dig it.

Out now…

Grab em @ Juno init :)

http://www.junodownload.com/products/lesson-1/1856446-02/?ref=4e6116a603e9b

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

Not satisfied with producing quality Deep House BPS brings us an E.P. of quality soul reworks courtesy of the Blunted Funk Project. So here’s a little preview…

My 2 faves…

“Lets Go All The Way” – Definitely Southport Connoisseurs’ Corner territory. Respectfully treated.

“Get Next 2 Me” – Same story again… proper Soul tune given just the right amount of retouching, percussion, effects and re-arrangement.  It’s nice to see they’ve not gone down the route of just adding a massive BD.  I can hear these tunes equally on a boat party in the Adriatic, the Big Chill bar, or at a weekender like SP/Minehead.

There are also a couple of nice jazz funk numbers on there, with “Changin forever” and “I Like it” … well worth getting hold of.

Out now on Bullet Proof Sonic Records…

Grab em @ Juno init :)

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-hustlers-ep/1863178-02/?highlight

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

As a significant pre-cursor to House, Disco lends itself nicely to being remixed.  Successfully “Housing” a Funk tune however is a tricky business. All too often sounding cheesy, inappropriate, or worse still, like a big beat tune.

This is how it should be done.

How to remix a funk tune 101 : Your teacher – Avanti

Brass Construction “Changin” (Avanti Rework)

Also check out the rest of the album, “Groove Democracy 2″, from Madrid’s Nelue’s. Choc full of grooves, edits and remixes this is definitely a Jazzier helping than most of the disco currently on the market. Features Nelue, Avanti, Moon Runner, Space Duke, Dynamicron, the mighty Rayko and ofcourse Avanti. Get yourself over to Juno to grab a copy init :)

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

Some cracking Odyssey remixes forthcoming on ISM records this Christmas, and here’s a little taster…

Faze Action have done a lovely job on Soul weekender anthem “Going Back to My Roots” .  With a late 80′s early 90′s house feel to this remix… and as the keys build and layer it really works into ya bones.

The money shot comes at 5 of 7 minutes when the keys change giving you that recognisable piano line from the original.
A really deep and tasteful track with just right amount of the original in it ..init :)

But my definite fave is the Disco Dirtbox remix of  “Don’t Tell Me Tell Her”  …One of those tunes, if I didn’t know  better, I’d struggle to put a year on it. The 80′s flavour in the new instrumentation sounds authentic but it’s tough enough to sound brand new.  Defo gonna get lots of play !

Released on :

ISM Records on 12th Dec.

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

Gilles Peterson “Havana Cultura” remix competition winner,  Producer, and Deep Music Lover  SUONHO has done us a wicked mix,

Tony Blackburn: “Jimmy Savile was a complete one-off”

—————————————-

Former DJ, TV presenter and charity fundraiser Sir Jimmy Savile has died, aged 84.

Savile, who was one of the most famous names on British TV and radio in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, died on Saturday.

Police said they were called to his home in Leeds, but that there was nothing suspicious about his death.

His family programme, Jim’ll Fix It, drew in huge audiences and the programme received 20,000 letters a week at the height of its popularity.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said officers were called to the house in Roundhay at 12:10 BST.

Details of how he died were not yet known, but he was recently in hospital with pneumonia.

His nephew, Roger Foster, said he “passed away quietly in his sleep during the night”.

“Jimmy was a wonderful man. His public face is well-known but we knew him much more as an uncle. He was a very good friend. Jimmy will be sadly missed by very many people.”

Broadcaster Tony Blackburn said Sir Jimmy was embraced by everybody, and was “always just Jimmy Savile”.

“He was just a complete one-off. I think he was a bit of a lonely character as well. In the privacy of his own life I don’t think he had very many friends.”

He added: “I’ve never known anyone quite like him. He was a blunt speaking northerner, but also kind and very respectful.”

Presenter Dave Lee Travis told Sky News: “We are all going to be worse off without him around.”

Prince Charles has also praised Sir Jimmy in a statement released by Clarence House: “The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are saddened to hear of Jimmy Savile’s death and their thoughts are with his family at this time,” it said.

Savile started out as a dance hall DJ in the 1950s, before making his name as a broadcaster on Radio Luxembourg.

He was one of the first DJs on BBC Radio 1 and launched Top of the Pops in 1964.

He also appeared on the music show’s final edition in 2006.

Charity fundraiser

His TV persona included chunky gold jewellery, a huge cigar, his trademark snowy white hair and a number of catch-phrases which were frequently parodied by impressionists such as Mike Yarwood.

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Savile was conscripted as a Bevin Boy, working in the coal mines during the war.

Away from broadcasting, he was noted for his charity work, running 200 marathons and raising £40m over the years.

He was a volunteer at the hospital and ran more than 200 marathons for various charitable organisations.

Sir Jimmy raised £20m for the creation of the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in 1983 after a storm damaged wooden huts which had housed spinal cord injury patients.

A spokeswoman for Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, said Sir Jimmy would be missed by staff and patients, adding: “He was tireless in his attempts to fundraise for the hospital and was integral in the creation of the National Spinal Injuries Centre that we have today.”

Savile was knighted by the Queen in 1990 for his charity work.

Repost from APC Radio website:

“PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL RECORDS is forty years old! HARMLESS RECORDS are kick starting the celebrations with the release of a two CD, 21 track re-mix project – ‘Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits’. The label has brought in top international remixers and producers to tweak some venerated Philly war horses and thankfully people like DJ APT ONE, JIMMY THE TWIN, J*SKI, and the MORNING STAR team have approached the matter with total respect for the originals.

The first CD in the pack is labelled ‘Uptempo Good Time Philly ‘ and features classics like ‘SATISFACTION GUARANTEED’, ‘MESSAGE IN OUR MUSIC’ and ‘LIFE ON MARS’ while the second CD is tagged ‘Mellow Slinky Philly’. Here you’ll find the new takes on stuff like ‘WAS THAT ALL IT WAS’, ‘NIGHTS OVER EGYPT’ and ‘DARLIN’ DARLIN’ BABY’.

The compilation will be followed by a comprehensive ‘Philadelphia International 40th Anniversary Box Set’ …. and there’s lots more in the 2012 pipeline. You can see an outline of the 40th anniversary activities and releases by going to www.gamble-huffmusic.com.”

We say goood bye to the summer with a wicked mix of Bossa sounds from Spanish  born Jesus Gomez a.k.a “El Nino Miedo”.

“I wanted the mix to be a little left of the current dance trends…  so this is the sweet sounds of Bossa Nova and the flavors of Brazil… much inspired by good friend David Rhythm, and dedicated to a special girl from Brazil”  - El Nino.

We agree… the mix is definitely sweet. As soon as I put it on the stress of work just melts away. Check it out.

Keep Schtum 006 hits the shops today ! 

Track 1, “Not a Program”,  is quality Deep and rolling House music from Dublin’s finest…   as you’d expect from the House of Schtum… and track 2 ?  Well I’ve got that puppy on repeat - ”I Like It” a collaboration between Michael McKenna & Sean B. Doyle is just a killer.   Starts tough and Garagey… then gets a bit jazzy and picks up some Naked Music-style flavours on the way… Like it? yes I do :)

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

Latest rework from JimmyTheTwin & The Boogie Cafe… this time Boogie Funk monster “Danger Zone” by Midnight Express. 

The original is amazing but always mixed like a bag of bones… So I quantized the wonky tempo, and added a DJ-friendly in & out, and a subtle Tr505 accompaniment… original vibe intact, just longer, tighter, and more playable :)

Hope you likey :)

2 of the best modern interpretations of cuban music I have heard in a long time. I mean this sh*t is tough!  How this man can take a new urban Cuban track and inject elements of House, Funk even 80′s Boogie, and not only pull it off, but make it gel perfectly, is beyond me. 

…But Suono needs your vote !

It’s I Smiley Cuulture with the mike in a me hand
Me come to teach you right and not the wrong
In a de Cockney Translation

Cockney’s not a Language it is only a slang
And was originated yah so inna England
The first place it was used was over East London
It was respect for the different style pronunciation
But it wasn’t really used by any and any man
Me say strictly con-man also the villain
But through me full up of lyrics and education
Right here now you a go get a little translation

Cockney have name like Treey, Arthur and del-boy
We have name like Winston, Lloyd and Leroy
We bawl out YOW! While cockneys say OI!
What cockney call a Jack’s we call a Blue Bwoy
Say cockney have mates while we have spar
Cockneylive in a brum while we live in a yard
Say we nyam while cockney gwt capture
Cockney say guv’nor. We say Big Bout ya
In a de Cockney Translation!
In a de Cockney Translation!

Well watch a man…………………………
The translation of cockney to understand is easy
So long as you don’t deaf and you listen me keenly
You should pick it up likea youth who find some money
Go tell it to your friends also your family
No matter if a English or a Yardy
Ca’ you never when them might buck up a cockney
Remember warm dem dem deh man dem don’t easy
Dem no fire sling shot a me say strictly double B
Dem run protection racket and control ’nuff C.I.D.

Say cockney fire shooter, We bus’ gun
Cockney say tea leaf, We say sticks man
You know dem have wedge while we have corn
Say cockney say be first, my son! We just say Gwan!
Cockney say grass, We say outformer man
When dem talk ’bout iron dem really meam batty man
Rope chain and choparita me say cockney call tom
Say cockney say Old Bill, We dutty Babylon
In a de Cockney Translation!
In a de Cockney Translation!

Well watch a man……………………
Slam bam
Jah man
Hear dam
Fashion
Smiley
Culture
Origiantion

But first let me tell you more about thr cockney
Who live comfortably and have yacht by the sea
And when it come to monry most of then have plenty
But where dum spend it? In de bookie
Lose it all on the dogs or on the gee gees
Or paying off fe dem bribes to the Sweeney
So dem nah go do no time fe no armed robbery
Or catching antthing that fell off the back of a lorry

Slam bam
Jah man
Hear dem
Fashion
Me strong
Me long
Me at the mike stand
More time
In a dance
Me chat
‘Pon a sound

But sometimes me shake out and leave me home town
And that’s when me travel a East London
Where I have to speak as a different man
So that the cockney can understand
So black man and white man hear dem fashion

Cockney say scarper, We say scatter
Cockney say rabbit, We chatter
We say bleach, Cockney Knackered!
Cockney say triffic, We say waaacked!

Cockney say blokes, We say guys
Cockney say Alright? We say Ites!
we say pants, Cockney say strides
Sweet as a nut…………………. just level vibes. Seen?
