…it just gets a little dusty.

I’m working on a new dj mix of classic Italo,  Disco,  Funk,  Boogie,  Nu-Disco,  and Electro House.

Here’s a preview of some of the sounds I’m feeling:

Motion –  Don’t Stop (1983)

Giorgio Moroder - The Chase (theme from Midnight Express)

Perhaps the most well-known italo song…

“those were the days, when gangbangers wouldn’t shoot if there were women and children present.” – YT user

where you at LA ??!! sometimes I dont know..but what I do know…

This was a huuuge record back east.. (WHERE YOU AT DC?!), it also had very minimal but strong “spins” for awhile here in LA. I went ape sh_t when I found the white label promo a few years ago during my travels..I dropped this one during the warm up set at our “Golden Stereo” event last week and Mr. Sly Stone’s b’day party at Zanzibar in LA a few month’s back. The sound system must be up to par in order to feel the effect of this song..Super Funk is always good to GO GO!!!

PS: Big shout to my homeslice Nikita.

A cold-Blooded and ruthless hit man. Always on the run Boogie follows his own rules. A violent, chauvinist and sadistic character starring in a film that features a story line, music and images targeted to teen and adult audiences.
Women, alcohol, bullets, it has it all. Boogie, combines black humor, incredible 2-D backgrounds. and 3-D graphics with a sharp screenplay.

Después de Quino, el negro Fontanarrosa era el historietista que mas me gustaba. Extraño sus chistes. Recién buscando alguno que no haya leído encontré esta imagen y me gustó mucho. Se las dejo.

Siempre me atrajo que Boogie el aceitoso nació con la Revista Hortensia.

Seven Dollars Epilogue

Alright, tonight’s the night, we can’t wait any longer, we’re turning out the light and locking up that door! You might put up a fight, but you’ll be crying out for more, when you get given what you really came here looking for… the legendary proto-London-Boys-dancers-whose-heads-stay-in-the-same-place-while-their-bodies-move-around Top Of The Pops performance of Shakin’ Stevens’ inexplicable excursion into Hi-NRG (shortly before, lest we forget, his equally baffling Motown Phase) A Little Boogie Woogie (In The Back Of My Mind), a song that was famously laughably condemned by ridiculous eighties rentaquote comedy politician Geoffrey Dickens who wanted it banned for being “a bit near the knuckle”, and which still enjoys wide exposure despite raking in the readies for its composer, a certain Mr Paul Gadd…

New York Yankees' Mark Teixeira strikes out in the 9th inning to end Game 5 of the World Series as Philadelphia Phillies' catcher Carlos Ruiz celebrates at Citizens Bank Park.

With the Yankees unable to close out the world series in 5 games in Philly, IT looks like they can bring it back home

with a win in game 6. With the home crowd awaiting the newly found batting of the yankees should be able to close this one out wed. night in NY. With momentum swinging their way, and a nice lead on the series, Jeter and the boys ought to do something we havent seen in almost a decade. Some might suggest the yankees lost on purpose so that they can win in front of a ridiculously loud NY fanbase……..wut do u think?

shout out to my girl Jess on keeping the “hope” alive with the yanks.. lets hope this big bankroll money machine team comes thru

I’ve wanted to do this for a while now, as I’m a massive, massive fan of soulful hip hop. It’s songs like this that remind me that hip hop is not dead. so I want to try to keep this list almost exclusively in the new-school. It’s easy to find soul in the hip hop of the 80’s and 90’s, I know, but for the most part, hip hop in these periods was generally influenced by funk – not soul. Now, this is only a list of 10, with YouTube links to the song, but obviously there are heaps more out there, but I think, if you’re looking for some soulful hip hop, it’s a good indicator. I’m trying to stick to only one artist, but it’s a good idea to check out the album from which the listed song is taken. The following list is in no particular order:

1. Blu & Exile – Dancing In The Rain

This track is off Blu’s acclaimed 2007 LP, Below the Heavens. It was produced by DJ Exile, and the entire album is about as soulful as you can get. Straight out of L.A., Blu isn’t your typical west-coast rapper rhyming about blunts, dubs, guns, bitches, hos and cliques. If you haven’t already copped this album, get onto it. One of my personal all-time favourite albums. For real. It’s crack.

If you read my last post, you’d have noticed that I like to throw in my favourite lines from each track, but from the onset, this song is a lyrical clusterbomb.

“Look… it’s six o’clock I’m hopping outta the bed /
Rain fallin’, callin’ X but my phone lines dead /
I guess my bills ain’t paid /
No ride to work for the day /
Second option: hop the bus, but theres a traffic delay…”

2. Brad Strut – Believe

Melbourne emcee Brad Strut makes the list with his track, Believe, which can be found on his curiously named Fallout Shelter EP / Rejuvenation LP, along with the instrumental. Braddles teamed up with producer Beat Butcha in London to produce the track, along with a couple of others on the 2009 release. Personally, it’s my favourite Brad Strut song, and if you’re from Melbourne, you might be able to recognize the location in which the video was filmed.

Here are the opening lines:

“I believe in the sun and stars / 
‘Cuz overheads got me looking up to ‘em /
I woke up, look up / 
I forge through it /
It occurred to me recently /
I tackle with the beast in me /
And talk through it peacefully.”

3. Common – Forever Begins

Really, I think I could have put pretty much any track by Common on here. Kanye West is one of the most soulful producers in the game, and Common is one of the most soulful dudes in rap, so it’s a pretty flawless mix. The opening drum rhythm is straight from a Paul Simon track, ‘50 Ways To Leave Your Lover’, but was played by drumming great, Steve Gadd. It’s a great track, and probably my favourite off Common’s 2007 album, Forever Begins. Check the lyrics:

“Sooner of later I know the cheddar gonna come /
For now I write the world letters to better the young /
On tree by jury /
Together we hung /
Now we let our chains hang and gangbang to maintain”

4. DJ Bonez & Low Budget – Nobody Like This

DJ Bonez is one of Australia’s most recognized hip hop DJ’s, based in Melbourne.  Low Budget are hip hop duo also coming out of Melbourne, and are doing something different as well which is good to hear. This track is taken DJ Bonez collaboration album, Roll Call, which features some of Australian hip hop’s biggest names (i.e. Funkoars, Pegz, Muph, Javs) as well as Portland, Oregon group, Sandpeople. His track, off the same album, Certified, which features Adelaide hard-hitters the Funkoars was selected by ozhiphop.com as the best beat to come out of Australia in 2008, I believe. Get onto this release. Top notch. Couldn’t find a link for this track. Sorry!

5. Elzhi – Save Ya feat. T3

T3 (of Slum Village fame) produced this track, and did a good job of it, too, so it could technically be called a Slum Village track, as Elzhi replaced the legendary J-Dilla after he left SV. This is my favourite track off Detroit rapper Elzhi’s killer 2008 album, The Preface. It was released as the second single off the album, but aside from that I don’t know any more background information about it. It basically just deals with all the ladies who have shown up following Elzhi’s success. From the first verse:

“Infatuated with material things /
You only see your feet in those shoes /
Your ears in those rings /
But, uh, you can come round on your best behaviour /
But, sorry, love, I can’t save ya.”

6. Grafh – My Soul

I first heard this guy on Joell Ortiz’s a track called 125 Pt. 3 off his 2007 album The Brick: Bodega Chronicles, alongside Ras Kass, Stimuli, and Gab Gotcha.  Pretty much the only line from that track that hit me was one from Grafh. He rapped, “I ain’t battlin’ no one / So don’t bring a challenger over / If I wanted a challenge / I’d battle my poster”. My boy was apparently into him way before me, so props to him – I slept on him. He was born in South-East Jamaica, Queens. He got signed to Def Jam but his album, Autografh, kept getting pushed back and back so he made the shrewd business decision to stick it to the industry and release it as a free download on his MySpace. So I got the opportunity to cop this for free, but I would have paid my $30 for this album. It was later released by Black Hand and Roc-A-Fella. My Soul is a nice piano-driven beat, but I can’t tell you who produced it. Some up-and-comer. Check the rhyme:

“He had to learn his flaws /
And learn to walk /
Before he stepped in /
And learn that the Lord would catch him /
And learn that the Lord would send him /
To the Father in Heaven /
With his father in Heaven /
Until his moms called up the reverend /
And get him God /
But instead of God he got a head start /
To step in the dark and get lost in a dead-end /
Now there’s two roads in life to take /
And you’re taking the wrong one /
With dollar signs on your license plate.”

Sorry! Couldn’t find a YouTube link.

7. Hilltop Hoods – Stopping All Stations

Another Australian hip hop group, and probably the biggest to come out of the country. The Hilltop Hoods are out of Adelaide, and gained commercial success with their tracks, The Hard Road and The Nosebleed Section, which are both worth checking out. They were signed to Australia’s biggest independent hip hop label, Obese Records, before they left in 2008 to start their own record label, Golden Era Records, and release their fourth major release (+2 independent releases), which was called State of the Art, on which their only guest was hip hop legend, Pharoahe Monche. Stopping All Stations was on their commercially successful 2006 album, The Hard Road, and is a melodic flute-based track about various violent experiences on a train. Sometimes I feel that, despite their commercial successful and industry acclaim, they are lyrically underrated. Here’s the first verse:

Early morn’, train station, aching from the arthritis /
This war veteran knows what a hard time is /
He needs his pension, dementia and half blind is /
The reason he rides the train with no car license /
So he boards with an expired ticket has a swipe  /
Gets a fine cos the change he got don’t add up right /
We’re taking about a man who never lived a lavish life /
Caught up in the age of computer chips and satellites /
A lovely lady boards looking tired and half awake /
He smiles, she’s reminds him of his wife that passed away /
She says something as she walks right past his way /
His old hearing aid don’t last quite half a day /
Some young gentlemen alive with their laughter /
Approach the old timer and put a knife to his heart to /
Explain that money or blood the price of their barter /
To a man whose friends probably died for their fathers.”

8. Little Vic – Love Hurts

Little Vic is an emcee out of Long Island, New York, and this track can be found on his 2008 concept album, Each Dawn I Die. Love Hurts is a story more or less of a girl, but, as indicated by the title, the relationship isn’t idyllic. Little Vic’s flow is sick; he rides the beat on this track, weaving in and out of the rhythms. For beatnuts out there, DJ Premier has a track on this album (The Exorcist). Love Hurts is a really soulful track. Don’t sleep on this guy, and if you’re looking for an album to cop, I suggest this. Listen with an open mind and an attentive ear.

Haha, I couldn’t find a proper YouTube link, but the background music to this video is the said track.

9. Pez – Heavenly

Pez is coming out of Blackburn in Melbourne. He came to fame with The Festival Song with 360 and Haley Kramer. Heavenly is dedicated to his parents, and basically thanks them for all they did for him. MATIK on the beat, with a nice sampled piano and saxophone. I love this track; I’d say it’s one of my favourite off the album, but A Mind Of My Own is, to quote another, ‘a hip hop masterpiece.’ The album is simply stunning. Get onto this. One of the best rappers I’ve heard. Period.

“I’ve never been rich and I’ve never been poor /
Which I guess made me appreciate everything more /
For I’ve had a chance and a way to decide /
To mix with people from all different situations in life /
I saw the pros and cons and then rose beyond /
All the negatives of each side /
The way I speak might be /
A blatant display of the way I was raised /
But shit - I’m proud of that.”

10. J-Boogie & Zumbi Of Zion I & Rithma – For Your Love

This album (Soul Vibrations) stayed in my stereo system for about 3 weeks, and this track was the standout. Beautifully smooth brass hits over a sample and a sung hook. Lyrically, it’s tight. Not the best that I’ve heard, but it’s soulful and it’s real. Zumbi gets respect for incorporating the word ‘facetious’ into his lyrics, which I suppose is a rarity in hip hop. I adore this track. Get onto it. Here’s the LastFM link:

http://www.last.fm/music/J-Boogie’s+Dubtronic+Science/_/For%2BYour%2BLove%2BFt.%2BZumbi%2BOf%2BZion%2BI%2B%2526%2BRithma

Alright, so that rounds up my first list! These are just 10, remember. With the exception of Common, I’ve tried to exclude mainstream artists in an attempt to, I suppose, raise awareness. Hope you enjoyed it.

Peace!

Is it shredding on an acoustic? My steel string now seems much better to me than an electric.

On enquiring about an Edit Christophe (Lovetempo) played on a mixtape about 6 years ago, I was impressed to hear that it wasn’t an edit,  but part of the live mix…  Rockers Revenge “Walking on Sunshine” (Acapella)… into “Orange Alert” by Metro Area.

Anyway, he’s only gone and cut them together in a nice clean Edit for y’all !  

Christmas has come early…  This is the sh*t!

Download the 320bit mp3:

“Sunshine Alert” by Christophe

If you like this, he’s also put the whole orginal mix on his Lovetempo blog.  Christophe is also in the studio making brand new disco,  house and all manner of goodness so keep em peeled for forth coming releases.
