I got these in my brain!



Gang Starr sampled it for...



God, hip hop used to be so creative. I can't stand 99% of it now. Anyway, Jackson Sisters recorded one of my favorite disco funk songs of all time. This is the extended mix btw with the extended intro. Those horns and guitars are simply amazing.



The Meters baby!


Pazant Brothers amazing funker. I first learned about this from Main Source. It took me forever to track this down.



Kind of reminds me a little of Dr. John's Rite Away.

Depeche Mode - Backing Tapes

These are pretty interesting.

De La Soul - Double Huey Skit

One of those lost tracks that was never officially released except for a few limited promos, the Double Huey Skit is a De La Soul b-side that sampled the Muppets theme song and was never released b/c Jim Henson wasn't having it.

I heard about this song a loooong time ago and forgot about it until someone brought it up recently. This is De La at their zaniest, Saturday morning cartoon-est.

I dig it.

A Broken Frame was one of the last DM records I got (actually it was one of the first ones, but I took it back b/c it sounded so "corny"). I got it again recently, I can listen to it now. Not one of my favorites, but the last song "The Sun and The Rainfall" is one of the best DM tracks ever released and often overlooked.

Here's a slight variation of the original version.


Here's the Dominatrix remix (he also did the amazing remix to The Landscape is Changing). The lyrics leave something to be desired, but the melody is amazing.



and of course the pioneers...


And now for a rap throwback classic...


And a "remake"(?) from Five Deez (respect to Fat Jon!).


What about some classic vibes from the early millenium?


Based on this classic...


also sampled by St. Germain...


And Dilla ("why is America so fucked up!", "Bruce Lee would beat the shit out of your face" "The Samurai with the baby on his back" "I'm hanging out with Lucy, Bout to order some sushi, later on she's gonna do me!")...

That's What I Want For You

This was one of my staples from my early days of djing. I have to start playing this classic again.

what I'm feeling

I finally got an iPhone. Everyone expected me to already have one, I don't know why, I guess people think that being a designer means that you would own an iPhone (?)

Anyway, here's what I've been digging lately:
