Before sunrise after sunset…
maze feat frankie beverly - twilight (remix)
its the end of the week, and what better way to celebrate than with with one of my all time favourite boogie records. maze, minus the vocals of frankie beverly, drops some serious hypnotic, drug induced, late night boogie action that just makes you want to get down to […]
Rocket science
gunther kallmann choir - daydream (mp3)
buddy rich - the beat goes on (mp3)
well, today has been a day of falling foul of ‘optimistic record grading’ and making everything at common cost â£10, even if it was only for the hour or so that it took me to put all of the proper prices back on […]
Don’t be so schneider
schneider with the kick - shout (mp3)
so inbetween the regular stag weekend shenanigans in prague last month (don’t ask, mainly because i can’t remember anyhow), i managed to find a rather spectacular shop called music antiquariat, an aladdin’s cave of east european rock, pop and new wave records. they had a very strict “5 record […]
Is it because i’m black?
syl johnson - concrete reservation (mp3)
syl johnson - everybody needs love (mp3)
nope, nothing to do with ali g or staines of nuffink, but a nod towards one of the most overlooked soul artists in musical history.
syl johnson was born in mississippi in 1936 and was originally a blues artist. he moved into soul […]
Bakerman is baking bread…
laidback - bakerman (mp3)
another quickie today, this time from the danish pop outfit, laidback. these guys have been churning out the hits for almost 30 years now, with their more recent releases appearing on bff favourite label, music for dreams. most of you will probably know their seminal electro release ‘white horse’ or the big […]
Tasty tasty, very very tasty…
syrup - sweat shop (mp3)
in honour of my extreme laziness, here’s a top top track from composts very own, 100% live disco/funk outfit, syrup. if ever there was a tune to get you off your arse and get you motivated, then this has got to be it. with possibly more funk than you can shake […]
Be glad
minnie riperton - simple things (mp3)
it’s that time of year again when you can’t seem to go for five minutes without someone whinging about how they wish they were at glastonbury blah blah blah blah blah.
well, not for me all that traipsing around, missing the bands you actually want to see and seeing far too […]
Beat yo metal
antibalas - beaten metal (mp3)
wow… what can you say about antibalas? if you don’t know of them, you need to.
one of the most energetic and politically charged live acts around today, the brooklyn based afro-funk orchestra made their name through their legendary live shows and outspoken views against the american government. they also made […]
Roche de l’espace…
rockets - space rock (mp3)
top, top track from the bizarre alien esque french rockers, the rockets. taking their influences from disco, prog, rock and space/alien mystique, these guys were - how shall i put this - a little bit mental. after changing their names more times than is necessary, they finally settled on the rockets […]
Taking a buffalo stance
buffalo daughter - stereotype c (mp3)
i’m sober, and not feeling at all sexually ambiguous so i don’t think this’ll take too long - and don’t worry scholes, i’ve no intention of popping the beef blog’s neneh cherry*; that’s all yours.
nope, the buffalo here has nothing to do with eagle-eye’s big sis, but rather the japanese […]
