Quincy Jones

—Stuff Like That

                                                     

A lil gem I found a while back at my local dope provider in NP, Vinyl Countdown that is. Quincy Jones, king master of all grooves.

This one is called Stuff Like That by Quincy Jones on his album Sounds… And Stuff Like That.

Clout

—Klout (Sunshine Baby Golem Edit)

                                                      

This track is one of the most obscure I’ve came across lately. Obscure because of its name, its origins, the label it’s been released under… its sound… It’s a re-edit by a fella named The Golem. I think he’s from France. There is hardly any info on this character. I only found out that he released a couple of fantastic 12” on the label Les Edits Du Golem that are already on my Juno Records Wishlist… Looking at his work, it seems like The Golem relies on a very serious knowledge on music and probably has one of the most eclectic record collection.

This tune is called Klout. It’s a re-work of a song called Sunshine Baby by a female only 70’s band named Clout from South Africa… out of it… but great : )

Toy Selectah

—Sonidero Compay feat. DJ Blass

                                                      

I’m getting ready for tomorrow night, selecting some of my favorite tunes of the moment! I’ll be spinning some reggae beats and mashups but will also take a trip to the latin world of music and play some latin electro beats. Here is a little taste with a track by Toy Selectah, music producer and remixer from Monterrey, Mexico. It’s called Sonidero Compay feat. DJ Blass and this is Nueva Cumbia at its slackest!

Erick Sermon

—Music feat. Marvin Gaye

                                                      

Yesterday I started ripping a whole lot of records onto my computer. It’s a long process but it allows you to listen carefully to a bunch of tunes that might have been left behind sometimes somehow. Here is a good example of a nice track that I should have played more often: Music feat. Marvin Gaye by Erick Sermon.

Prince

—Chelsea Rodgers

                                                   

Went to see Prince the other night… amazing show! Here is a track I wish he played. It’s called Chelsea Rodgers and it’s funky! Enjoy!

Hermitude

—Speak Of The Devil

                                                     

And the Fuzzbox comes back to life after a short break from the music and the internet world! Back in action, big time! Today is my birthday, I’m visiting a wicked record shop and tonight I’m going to see Prince… Life doesn’t get much better than that!!!

The song of the day is taken from a record I got yesterday. Speak Of The Devil by Hermitude, a fun tune, an invitation to dance!

Can’t wait to go see Prince tonight. I’ll definitely post one of his numerous tracks in the next couple of days… Keep goin’!!!

Jstar

—One Life, One Hope

                                                    

To all the dubheads and Hip-Hop lovers!!! Many of you know that one already. That accapella from Roots Manuva has been used many times for many mashups but Jstar brought it up to the next level with a heavy wobbly bassline! I just ordered this on vinyl and I can’t wait to spin it out at the next party! One Life, One Hope by Jstar, it’s right here for the DL!!! Enjoy : )

ps: International Record Store Day tomorrow!!! To the NP crew, go check Vinyl Countdown out!!!
