I'm in Stockholm playing Pom Pom @ Berns with homies Stefski and Agge.
If you're in HKI, do not miss this...:

Remain Anonymous

Ras Kass: Remain Anonymous (1994)
You best believe this was my shit back then, too bad it hasn't aged as well as some indie rap hits from the era. It's still entertaining nonetheless. I didn't follow his career much after this, but always felt he was a pretty good rapper.

You Don't Know What Love Is

As of today, my favorite vocoded dubstep jam is now out on Hyperdub.
Go get it.

Break It Loose!

As far as I'm concerned 45's don't get much better than this.
Onyx: Break It Loose (1973)

Have a good weekend everybody!

Now this is pretty cool

Back in 1979 Kraftwerk's record label commissioned Roger Mainwood to do an animated film based on Autobahn, which was subsequently released on one of the first ever laser discs. The film went to win various prizes at animation festivals and was shown at the 1979 London Film Festival.

Watch part 2 here.

MJ Auction Catalog

Some cool things in there. The espresso machine especially is pretty damn hot.

Lovesick

I loved Lovesick ever since I first heard Step In The Arena. I can still clearly remember the first time I heard the Delfonics jammy too. Blew my mind right there.
Gang Starr: Lovesick Extended Mix (1991)
BONUS:
Delfonics: Trying To Make A Fool Of Me (1970)

Classic Time #42

Give Me (US Remix)(1982/AIFF)
Super smooth Brit funk jam extended to some 8 minutes by the one and only John Luongo.

First True Love Affair

If you're a fan of Jimmy Ross' Garage classic First True Love Affair like me, you might wanna check out Coderbreaker's pretty smooth cover version over at Beat Electric.

Top Ten List - February 2009

I'm starting a kind of old fashioned monthly top ten list of current stuff I'm feeling and playing out, just so the blog won't be about classics alone. Cause I'm really not the stuck in the past kind of dude, even if some of the posts might give that impression lol. Here we go with this month's favorites, word to Masta Ace.

1. Shaggy: Bad Mon Don't Cry 320
2. Joker & Ginz: Purple City Myspace
3. Sebastian Tellier: Kilometer (A-Trak Remix) Fairtilizer
4. Beniton: Recession 320

7. Raekwon feat Ghostface & Method Man: Wu Ooh 256
8. Moodymann: Freaky MF YouTube
9. Renaissance Man: Spraycan + Sharkslayer Remix Myspace
10. Zomby: Rumours & Revolutions YouTube

+1: Treasure Fingers: Come True Tonight Dub Mix 320
This has been floating a round for more than a year, but according to my man Nick at Fool's Gold it's not even finished yet. It's a banger nonetheless, here's hoping there will be an official release one day.

Feelin This

Miss Banks: Gimme A Chance via Fader

That's How We Move it

I kind of always thought Check It Out was the weakest of the three Reel To Reel singles. As much as I enjoyed Puba and Mary, the A-side never did much for me. But I must've really slept on the b-side, cause the remix of That's How We Move It buried there is like the best thing ever. I mean, how could it not be, with Puba in top form over a sample like this?
Grand Puba: That's How We Move It Remix (1992)

BONUS:
Trick Daddy: Take It To The House (2001)

Wow... looking forward to this

The Disco Files 1973-78- New York's Underground Week By Week will be published by DJHistory.com and should be out in April.

Movin In All Directions

People's Choice: Movin In All Directions Y2TheZ Edit (1975/2006)
Dope instrumental edit of the funky Philly disco jam. Some of you might remember the killer bass line from Daniel Wang's seminal In The Street.
Oh yeah, that's an aiff too.

7 Solid Disco 12"s

Just posted by my man U-Tern over at Onedaylater, go get 'em.

I Hate My Job

And I know I'm not the only one waiting for the new album...

Chameleon

La Pregunta: Chameleon (1979)
Solid disco funk version of Herbie Hancock's jazz fusion hit, by the group also responsible for UBB disco break Shangri-La. Supposedly John Davis of I Can't Stop fame is involved in this as well.
