New Edit

Stretched instrumental take on Clausel’s early 80’s soul jammy. The production is pretty damn slick.

And an older one I’ve been requested repeatedly. Long live Petrus and Malavasi!

Feels So Real


Feels So Real (Won’t Let Go)(1984)
Classy stuff as always with Ms. Rushen. I first got into this through some long-forgotten mid-90’s rap song.

Into The Night

LaLa: Into The Night (1984)
I had this 12″ forever, but just now realized Into The Night is produced by Webster Lewis, ex-jazz dude who went on to produce timeless 80’s classics like Looking Up To You and Keep The Fire Burning.

You Say You’re Looking For A Lover…

Get In Touch With Me (1983)
Classic jam, produced by The Whispers’ Nicholas Caldwell. I loved the bassline ever since I heard it sampled on Clark Kent’s remix of Chubb Rock’s Just The Two Of Us (DL).

I Don’t Want To Be The Last To Know

Somewhat forgotten slow jam by one of Solar’s biggest acts… Just the right kind of smooth for this winter night. Female lead by Jody Watley, of course.

When I Grow Up

I wanna have a home setup like this.


Technics SP-25 turntables (w/ 14″ platters and rotary pitch controls) and a Sound Workshop 421 mixer all mounted on a single plinth, photographed at my man Mika Snickars’ house in Stockholm. Sweet.

Theme song…

Just The Way You Like It

I’ve been trying to figure out what the ultimate S.O.S. Band jam is. Has to be from the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis era, that’s for sure. On some other day I might go for High Hopes, Borrowed Love, The Finest or even the omnipresent Just Be Good To Me, but today…


Just The Way You Like It (Long Version)(1984)
Btw, check the incredible video as well.

BONUS:
The slow jam masterpiece from the same album. Essential.

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.
