Mixing up a summer cocktail

From the mixologist extraordinaire, the almighty Jimi Needles.

The Honey Drippers vs MIA - Paper Presidents (Jimi Needles Summer Cocktail)

Brand New Funky...

This little bit of funky magic is from Dunk Your Trunk Remixed, the new EP from the Brand New Heavies. With remixes by other remixtacular magicians like Daytoner and Skeewiff, this is something you should want to check out :) Itunes link here.

Big Girls Dont Cry (PulpFusion feat Lorenzo Medici Remix)

Caffeine

So... I'm attempting to do a month without any caffeine. Only one day in and already my head is messing with me. Sat down to post a track on here and the first tune that sprang to mind?

Black Coffee


:P

Get Lucky with WBBL

Plenty of remixes appearing of Daft Punk's new tune, but so far this bit of class from WBBL has been The One, Connor Mcleod style, if you know what I mean...

Get Lucky (WBBL Remix)

What is this...

I don't even...

Ghostbusters (Stay Puft remix)


Gotta love the Dawn for this bit of magic which I have probably posted before...

Gold Dust (Thedawn remix)

Richie Havens

Richie Havens, Woodstock legend, civil rights activist and a great voice. RIP sir.

Here's the man singing with Groove Armada on Jools Holland:

Hands Of Time


And of course, here's the one everyone will have been posting...

Freedom, live at Woodstock

So when I posted about...

 my favourite Beatles song, I did say that We Can Work it Out is probably the one... The thing is, I just can't make my mind up between a bunch of them and never have been able to. Which with the bazillion songs they recorded is probably fair enough. So I thought I'd post one of the others that is a serious contender, the slightly more dirty, grinding, Hey Bulldog.

Hey Bulldog

Ray

Was having a bit of a tune sharing session with mates on facebook a few nights ago. There was much goodness going on, but the highlight for me was being introducing me this amazing tune from Ray Charles.

Let's Go Get Stoned


There's so much I could post for Ray Charles, the guy is just a legend (he says stating the obvious...), but for now I'll just post these....


Ray Charles with BB King - Sinners Prayer


Kub vs. Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack (Drum & Bass Remix)

Hooked on you

Heard this on a mate's radio show the other night. Proper gorgeous tune this is. It's remix by Kon of a Cerrone track (Hooked On You) from 1981. The remix bubbles along beautifully with disco funkiness and smiles are assured. :)

Hooked (Kon's Nite Time Remix)

Get your Friday night going

Major Lazer time....

Jah No Partial

Some Lee Dorsey

Lee Dorsey - Everything I Do Gohn Be Funky


Get Out Of My Life Woman

We can work it out

I'm not sure which is my all time favourite Beatles song, but for years this has been the one I find in my head most often. Love the lyrics too.

We Can Work It Out


And earlier today a friend reminded me of this classic cover by Stevie Wonder :)

Protest

Today something a bit different... Dimlite remixing Chapelier Fou.

Protest (Dimlite's re-ça va pas)


For reference here's the original, an interesting track :)

The Thrill is Gone
