Jahtari ft Solo Banton “Music Addict”

Although originally from 2009, it just came out in late 2011, or at least thats when it was available to me. Taken from the Solo Banton EP “Music Addict” Out via Juno peoples. Great tune and a current favourite of mine, fits in any mix and breaks down everything.

Artwork by the amazing Lover Smith (do yourself a favour and check him out)

new Schlachthofbronx double single – Slowine / Dickie Riddim ft Warrior Queen /2 mad Anthems

These two guys have a good taste when it comes to food and even a better taste when it comes to the tunes they knock out. Homegrown heroes who are really fun to hang out with, that know their way around the bass, so let your body slowine to this one. 2 Great tunes from their forthcoming double single, expected on February 10th, in 9 days, of their new album ”Dirty Dancing”. Epic title, i was even thinking of calling a club night like that, so that’s the proper Zeitgeist meine Herren!  The first one is a cumbia like slow & techy badboy called “Slowine” and the 2nd one is a minimal but tough dancehall tune called “Dickie Riddem”. The Bronx on their vocalist Warrior Queen: ”Flow is wicked. Dutty as fuck. Dance pon di dickie.” Proper caribbean Anthem! Get it via Juno

This is the first single off of their forthcoming debut album Mondo. It’s infectiously catchy and upbeat infused with soulful vocals and a funky bass line. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do and grab it here or here

Kate and Janelle – Star Witness (Neko Case cover)

This live cover version was recorded last december in the stairwell of a famed canadian high schools in peterborough, canada. Some bureaucratic canadian authority (committee) chose to close the one school that focuses on unique arts. Here are two graduates from that school performing a song and giving support to their fight to keep their school open. The finer things in life are the first to go, when the rich start losing money. Don’t let them close down schools – Support them here – http://peterboroughneedspcvs.com/

I honestly think, that if these talented young girls were to put their songs on kickstarter in a form of a cd or download, they could raise a whole lot of money, if not for their cause, then at least for their fight. And i would love to put one of your songs on my Sweet Serenade Mixtapes, which i will.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful a youtube comment said it best: “I can’t stop listening to this, or even watching it. These two girls are beyond beautiful. You can feel everything, even if you don’t know what it is you’re feeling. Even the smile exchanges that they share make this song that much more beautiful. There’s nothing like finding new music like this, you wonder how you went your whole life before without it. To think how lost you’d feel if someone were to just take it away tomorrow!I”

Well no need to feel lost, once you have heard it you can’t unhear it :)  Enjoy this tune

Here is to Nujabes and his legacy

The japanese beatmaker wizard, Nujabes passed away in early 2010 in a car accident.

At first i decided not to write about it, even when one of my best friends, who had taken on the same path, told me about him and asked me if i knew Nujabes. It was a keeper, not something to put on a website, but more and more synchronicities reappeared throughout the past year and especially in recent times and i changed my mind, so i thought i might share it with the hive. There are no more secrets.

He used to work in a record store in Japan, that was ordering records from the same distributor, that was handling my releases at that time, as well as his very own. Though i never directly talked to him, i remember the guy who was handling the distribution (Harry) telling me how much he (Nujabes) liked what i was doing/releasing and was ordering good stacks of it, and it was no different with me and his records, so it was going back and forth through a third party. I particularly remember going crazy for a 12″ he did with Funky DL which had none of the common MPC sounds of these days, while i had a half acoustic release with a underground rap group called Tryflyn which he was going mental for, and we were loving each others material. He tried to make a different sound, even at that time (which was like at least 10 year ago). There is a lot of good stuff i remember about him and there were even more connections. We never met face to face but it seems that even then i knew that there were similarities.

Now after his death, i see more and more people worshipping his legacy and the spiritual path he had taken on, after there were no more treasures in the outside world for him to find. He dug deep and his music reveals his (or everyones) inner self. Peace

Here is to you, my close but distant friend!

Nujabes – Horizon (The full album is called Modal Soul is from 2005)

Nujabes – Spiritual State (featuring Uyama Hiroto) (title tune from his post mortum album Spiritual State).

Maybe not as technically advanced as today’s beat makers but his music takes its time, comes in grace, it is music for your inner self and it emanates peace. Thank you

I don’t know where to buy his many releases online (cds, albums, soundtracks, 12″s, 7″s etc) except a few on amazon. So, look Nujabes up on youtube and enjoy what you will discover.

ps there is even a documentary coming out about his life & work called “Eternal Soul

yum yum has a brand spanking new home and yes sir, we are playing like a team, more than ever

finally, all us YUM YUM guys are playing like a team again – with a new home it changed drastically, it was everything last weekend but the same old, same old. i loved it! the last 1,5 y have been hard dj wise, but only in munich, playing the big areas only – there was no way you could break any new non-super-appealing tunes to the crowd with a 1k+ crowd. you can only do this on smaller floors, like in the club we got now. i love watching it grow organically. ps. we actually do play like a real team does and its fucking awesome! it all started in munich so, this is where the sounds & mixes need to originate… where the other guys come to get an inspiration and collaborate with us. and we are on a very, very good way there. trust me, i can tell, even after only one night. its about the tunes and a certain feel to it all – a state of mind if you will >>> the timing, the routines and all that other stuff comes naturally. but bouncing from style to style while paying proper respect to all styles and showing knowledge – thats what its about

thx a lot for making it mine. aaand >>>> chrome & schowi up this weekend @ yip yab – different night, different sound :) ///deniz & hakan in stuttgart///max & timo in dortmund – like i said ‘same same, but different’ – watch us…

i feel like listening to this heavyweight primate right now :)
