Memory Lane

The coolest thing about record shopping in Japan is that you’re bound to see records you didn’t even know existed (like this). I think the Memory Lane instrumental here is more or less just a skillful edit job, but it’s still pretty cool if you love the Reuben Wilson loop like I do.

Incredible Grace Jones Ad

I’m just back home after 2 weeks in Japan. I’ll be posting a couple of 12″s from the trip soon, but I’m too jet lagged to do any ripping now so I’ll just leave you with this mid-80’s gem…

And on a related note, this is pretty impressive as well.

Just bought a cool edits CD today

Pop classics like this you never have too many versions of.

Got To Get Your Love

So I’m on vacation, but of course I’ll be doing some record shopping as well. Today I was surprised to find one of these gems for a pretty damn decent price. And hell no, it’s not the reissue. I had one already, so it’s up for grabs too. Serious offers only…
Clyde Alexander & Sanction: Got To Get Your Love (1980)

Classic Time #43

J.Beez Comin Through Bonus Beats (1989)
To this day this is like the best hip hop instrumental ever. I’m kicking myself for not ripping it earlier.

Top Ten List – March 2009

I’ve been too damn busy getting my stuff together for the Japan trip tomorrow- not too busy to compile the monthly top 10 though. Here’s a real random list of songs I’ve been really feeling lately, from R&B; to dancehall to UK funky to minimal house to whatnot… and some cool DL’s too.


1. The-Dream: Mr. Yeah (320)
Choice cut from Love VS Money, out now.
2. Mavado: Neva Believe U (256)
Incredible…
3. 2000F & J Kamata: You Don’t Know What Love Is (YouTube)
Still feelin this, will grab the 12″ too whenever I see it.
4. Ill Blu & Princess Nyah: Frontline (Myspace)
Real smooth funky jam.
5. Young Dro: Clean With It (160 via Fader via Nah Right)
Top notch production on this.
6. Cerrone: Rocket In The Pocket (Bladerunners Edit)
George what’s up… you need to put this out!
7. Lil Tony: Juuri (Myspace)
Helsinki in the building!
8. Vybz Kartel & Spice: Ramping Shop (256)
The OG version with the Ne-Yo beat still murders, the remake not so much.
9. Roska: In Your Handbag (YouTube)
So good. Grabbed the 12″ already.
10. Woolfy: Oh Missy (In Flagranti’s Meat-Packing Mix) (Hypem–> 320)
Real cool edits on this crazy remix.
