"Lot`s of lovin`"


There was a time, when music, especially Rap music, made me feel like I had butterflies in my stomach. One example for this phenomen was the 1994 album from ´Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth´ called ´The Main Ingredient´. It was and still is soulful and funky!!!
Here is one of my favorite tracks.

“All The Places” is a archetypal example. It starts with the strings, fit to lift the hairs at the nape of your neck. Chills when the beat drops…a buttery guitar loop winding around the cavernous drums, a silky, swarming bass line teeming around the drums and guitar, CL’s raps effortlessly gliding over Rock’s rhythm. Celestial vocals chime in every few bars, most noticeably on the chorus, where it joins one of the many Biz Markie vocal samples on the album. What’s most astounding about Pete Rockerfeller’s work here is that virtually all of these musical elements are lifted from the first 30 seconds of Donald Byrd’s “Places and Spaces.” You can glean Pete’s love for the beat, by the way he lets the instrumental ride for nearly a minute after CL’s verse concludes. You have to bob your head.






Pete took the sample from Donald Byrds much-lauded album ´Places and spaces´. It is the first track on the B-Side of the vinyl release on the famous ´Blue Note´ label.
So enjoy history...

"Ipod rotation material"


This one is from last summer, but it is still in rotation on my ipod. Great tracks and a nice mix from my man Chris Read. Below is his explanation of the mix:

"I know what you're thinking, the last thing world needs right now is yet anotherMichael Jackson tribute mixtape? Believe me, I'm pretty much of the same opinion and I didn't take the decision to do this lightly, but the flood of (in too many cases) pretty half baked tribute mixes, radio shows, podcasts over the past week kind of got under my skin. It seemed almost as though people were putting more effort into being the first to get something out than they were into a making decent job of it. I'm of the view that if you're going to mark somebody's life's work, the least you can do is pay some respect by putting some proper work into it.
So that's what I did. Just over a week after Michael's passing, I'm pleased to present what I've (humbly) called THE LEGACY: World's Greatest Jackson Tribute Mix! -60 minutes, 45 tracks, featuring a selection of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5's original works, edits, acapellas and demos accompanied by records that have sampled them, cover versions, tributes and remixes from the likes of Dwele, Dilla, DJ Spinna and Ian Brown amongst others. All that laced with original interviews and some heavy edits. It's been a labour of love, but I'm feeling like it was worth it."
