Sorry for the pause, I is back now

Shit got real as they say.

Anyways, back on it now and to catch up for those missed days, have something fresh and summery.

The Allergies - This is just a ride



Oh and how about having a whole album for free download which includes this tune? Here you go!

So yeah, that should make up for my absence :D

I'm a man

Smoove's epic remix of the Spencer Davis Group's utterly legendary....

I'm a man


One of my all time favourite tunes.

Which reminds me...

Defunk, who I linked yesterday, did a remix of this track recently, but I just looooooooove the original. Check out Caro Emerald with....

You don't love me

Defunk

I'm big into the whole Ghetto Funk scene right now, they'll be a load of stuff I link up that's either from that scene or kinda related somehow. Starting with this track from Defunk.

Big Gurl


Free download too.

A bit of D&B

I do like a bit of the old drum & bass. This was doing the rounds a while back and still makes me moist. The Shy FX & Benny Page remix of Maverick Sabre's...

 Let Me Go

Beatles remix

Gramatik with an epic remix of the classic Beatles track....

Don't Let Me Down

Free download too.

And roller skates

Vaughan Mason And Crew demonstrating that perfect combo, disco and roller skates...

Sick bass in this.

Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll

late again.. doh

But I'll make up for it with a proper classy tune from The Voices of East Harlem.

Can You Feel It?

ooops bit late

So have something proper awesome.. Hackney Colliery Band with something you might recognise.

Africa

Soul Finders

Chuck Carbo and The Soul Finders.. I dunno bugger all, but I like this tune.

 Can I Be Your Squeeze?

Stunning

Another recent tune, Dojo Cuts featuring Roxie Ray nailing a sexy jazzy funky number...


Easy to come home

Bluenote eargasm

Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, a truly legendary soul outfit from Philadelphia. Wake up Everybody is an utterly glorious track, but for a little spice try out this beautiful edit by Psychemagik. I'm completely in love with this tune.

Wake up Everybody -(Psychemagik Edit)

And now for something recent... The Baker Brothers with.....

Feeding Freddie

Holland-Dozier-Holland, so much that could be said... A cornerstone of the Motown sound, writing and producing for the likes of The Supremes and the Isley Brothers, to name just a couple.

Don't Leave Now

Classic funky

Eddie Henderson with a classic.

Prance On

Joe Tex

Funky as feck, an originator of rap, James Brown even covered one of his tunes (as well as his wife...), Joe Tex was a bit of a legend.

Papa was too




One tune is not enough :D

Skinny legs and all

Two classics

Lee Dorsey was a proper R&B singer, from the days when R&B actually did what it said on the tin. Apparently he was also in the US Navy and a kick arse boxer. A man of many skills then.

Give It Up




And then we have Dee Edwards, a great singer who released a chain of tracks during the 1960s, but made it big in the charts in the late 1970s when she got into disco. However the tune I'm linking is a more soulful ditty from the early 70s and is a personal fave.

I Can Deal With That

My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people

Scroobius Pip again, with a funky yet slightly disturbing track..

The Struggle

The only cover of a Stevie Wonder tune that is better than the original

Bold statement.

Truth.

Gene Harris

As

Golden

I know sweet FA about Midas Touch, other than this track.

Good Articulation

So that previous post title...

...was obviously going to lead to this classic b-boy breakbeat anthem from Nice & Smooth. Obviously something ya'll will know, but whatever......

Old to the New

Old to the new, the new to old

Menahan Street Band... you'd think this was straight from the 1970s, but nope, 2008. This is the title track of the album "Make the Road by Walking". Recommended, it's alllllll good.


Make the Road by Walking

 

 And while we're here, lets have another from the same album...

 The Traitor

Do it do it do it

An immense tune by Billy Sha-Rae, from I think 1971, not sure..

Do it
