Something for the weekend…
don ray - standing in the rain (mp3)
in manchester we are used to the odd shower or two. so, with the bank holiday weekend upon us, and a decent free street festival to go to, you would hope that the gods might actually favour us for a change. unfortunatley not, the lovely dianne oxberry, […]

Bangers and mash-ups…
on & on - summer in sydney (vocal) (mp3)
following on from a previous, more controversial post, i thought i would try and keep the mash-up/cut and paste debate alive…
it would seem, like most people, that the mention of those evil words is enough to run shivers down your spine, enough to make you go […]
From this to that
leila - won’t you be my baby, baby (mp3)
brian auger’s trinity & julie driscoll - break it up (mp3)
there’s something really satisfying about tracing a sample and finding something that’s just as good, if not better and that you’re pretty sure you’d never have heard otherwise. i’ve a few good examples i’d like to share […]
‘his mother called him noel’

A raging jazzbo…
willie colon - set fire to me (latin jazzbo version) (mp3)
super quick one from willie colon tonight…
’set fire to me’, is a massive latin tinged house track that was released way back in 1986. with its menacing piano stabs and soulful vocals, this is just total dance floor dynamite. if you’ve not got it, […]
The flaming clipse
unknown - jungle clipse (mp3)
the bootleg/mash-up craze which started soon after the millennium was quite a delight. the scene’s advancement came somewhere from amalgamation of the sample-heavy status of much late 90’s hip-hop, alongside with advancements in technology that meant anyone with a half-decent sound card a a bit of computer wizardry could splice two […]
Sowing the seeds of love
sandra rhodes - sowed love and reaped the heartache (mp3)
something else on a northern soul tip.
recorded in 1972 in sun studios by sandra rhodes, who did backing vocal work on dusty’s memphis album as well as on numerous al green records. ms rhodes not only sings, but also plays a cracking guitar on this proper […]
