Classic Time #37

Haven't done one of these in a minute, had to return with one of the all-time greats. This is the massive 6 minute version too, with 2 minutes of dubbing after the vocals. Enjoy...

Junior Reid: One Blood (Original 12" Mix)(1990)

That Feelin

Dreamer G: I Got That Feelin (Feel Mix)(1992)
Truly classic Kerri Chandler ish... if I get some feedback on this I might post the (even better) original mix.

As requested... Suomi Soul #2 from 2006

DJ Anonymous: Suomi Soul#2 (2006)

I thought I had uploaded most of my older mixes last year already, including this here, until it was requested multiple times over the last month or two.
Like Volume 1 (now re-upped), this one deals with smooth 1970's soul exclusively and titles that used to be common here particularly. The mix starts off slow jam style, but builds in tempo towards the end. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the whole thing still sounded- I guess you can't really go wrong with timeless jams like these.

My favorite dubstep dude in Helsinki for the first time this Friday. Not to be missed!

The Life Archives

As most of you probably know, this was big news last week. I didn't have time to delve in until today, here's a few random shots I found fascinating.

Basement Soul Vol 1

Time for some local DJ history. My old friend DJ Kelloggs just hit me with a mixtape rip from '97 and as I've been hearing about the mix for a long time of course I had to post it, too. It's called Basement Soul Volume 1 and it's by my man DJ Newhouse. The whole thing is a prime example of the kind of deep and soulful house sound he's always been known for. It's recorded in one take too, with no editing whatsoever. Respect.

Btw, this is a cassette rip and you can defintely hear it too. In a good way.
Enjoy!

Dance Tonight

Raphael Saadiq: Dance Tonight (Linslee Campbell Remix)(2000)
I posted this a looong time ago, but the file was kind of crappy, here's a proper 12" rip. The original version is a classic, but for playing out purposes I prefer the Linslee remix that retains all the smoothness but adds snappier drums.
BONUS:
My favorite non-single cut from the album. Incredible.
Lucy Pearl: Remember The Times (2000)

Revisiting Deconstructing Biggie

This came up in a conversation last night so here we go.

Lord Sear Is My Hero

The Caucasian Drunk Mix - Shade 45 Radio November 17 2008
Highly recommended. Shout outs to Ayres for the tip.

Melo Do Tagarela

Forget about Rapper's Delight...
Gang Do Tagarela: Melo Do Tagarela (Roc Hunter Edit)(1980/2002)

Super 7 Mix

w/ Jayceeoh, Steve 1nder, B.Cause, Morse Code, Platurn, Benzi & DJ Eleven... nice!

Why D'Ya Do It

The MF'n jam...
Why D'Ya Do It (1979)

A few words about Zshare

The older ones seem to be down for good. If anyone know why so abruptly, I'd like to know as well. I'm already getting a lot of requests and will most likely re-up at least some, but it's going to take some time. Bear with me.

Love Edit

While on the road last week I spent a lot of time doing edits as well. Here's
one my favorite 80's album tracks extended to single length. The incredible production is by Malavasi and Petrus of Change fame, of course.
High Fashion: Love (DJ Anonymous Edit)

Get Down

I get a ton of tracks in my inbox but rarely anything I end up playing. Here's an exception, this simple and useful blend has already been a staple since early summer and will finally be released officially on new Me & Him imprint.
1 + 1 = DJ Ayres: Get Down (192kbps)

How Crazy Is The Rockit Video?

I totally forgot...

Marley Marl In Control 1989

I had to post this great Marley Marl radio set I've been listening to repeatedly during last week's travels. Great selection and a super dope freestyle by Kool Keith himself. I grabbed this in a big lot of 80's radio shows a while back, I believe the tape rip is by someone called A to the L. Enjoy!
Marley Marl in Control WBLS July 14 1989 (guests Ultramagnetic MC's & 3rd Bass)

Fudge Pudge

I feel like I'm getting sick, I got a 6am flight to Moscow and for whatever reason this is exactly what I felt like posting right now... I dunno, it's still good and you never ever ever hear it anywhere nowadays, so enjoy.
Organized Konfusion: Fudge Pudge Bob T Remix (1992)

Rasa

Rasa: Chanting (1978)
Back in high school me and my boy used to go to the local Hare Krishna temple to eat. The all-vegetarian lunch was off the hook and the monks were super friendly as long as you donated at least something. I haven't really messed with the Hare Krishna since, this weirdo funk record being an exception. There's some lesser moments too, but the synth bassline on Chanting is where it's at for me. Sample heads already know what I'm talking about.

Black Moses Radio Special

Isaac Hayes: Open End Radio Special (1972)
So I found this buried in the shelves today and was cursing myself for forgetting about it when he died. Would have been perfect for the radio show. Oh well. Anyway, here it is for you to enjoy and even use. You'll hear Isaac chatting about the then brand new Black Moses album but also about fashion, about being a sex symbol, about his haircut and about RAPPING. Some memorable lines there. Enjoy...
Btw, the Curtis Mayfield Rapping radio show is now re-upped, for those who missed it on Zshare.

I'm Back...

...and there was a ton of good stuff in my inbox.

Brand new mix by my man Smutlee in London. Dancehall and funky all the way, with big hits from both genres mixed with lesser known tunes and exclusive blends.
Smutlee: November Dancehall & Funky Mix

And another classy mix, this one from my Soulico peoples in Tel-Aviv. This is a live recording and has a real laid back warm-up vibe to it.
DJ EyalRob: Soul Ecstasy live at the Shesek Pt 1


This is finally out and you definitely need to grab it if you enjoy banging club beats with Lil Jon samples and solid raps. And I know you do.
Get the 320
Get the AIFF
My HKI peoples: Emynd (and Bo Bliz) @ Redrum Saturday next week, more on that soon.

Dance On The Beat

Boeing: Dance On The Beat Instrumental (1982)
I'm off to Germany (and Austria) in a minute (Munich tonight @ Registratur, Innsbruck tomorrow @ Blue Chip, HOLLA!), but before I go I just had to post a sweet disco jam. I haven't posted any in a while and I know many of you really enjoy them so here we go.
Have a good weekend everybody....

M'du

DJ Mujava's big hit Township Funk (btw, peep the Radioclit remix) has indeed inspired many of us to investigate the Kwaito house sound at least a little bit. No doubt there's incredible stuff to be discovered and and the scene goes back a long time too. M'du (or Mdu) seems to be one of the originators and this here jam is one of my personal favorites.
M'du: Siya Jola (2000)

It's 5:32 here...

I should go to sleep. I kinda wanna see how Grant Park turns out, though.

Sellin D.O.P.E.

Other than Hip Hop I never really got into Dead Prez too much. I just re-discovered an early 12" from this forgotten soundtrack that I really like and never hear anywhere... so here we go.
Dead Prez: Sellin D.O.P.E. (1998)

I Wish I Knew...

...what she's saying.
Nami Shimada: Sun Shower (1989)
This is the original and in my opinion best version. The song was later remixed by Larry Levan himself.

Saturday Morning Music

Soooooooooo smooth.
Leroy Hutson: Cool Out (1975)
