Archie Bell and The Drells – "Tighten Up"

Jan 5, 2:25am The Color Awesome!
Archie Bell & The Drells - "Tighten Up" on Upbeat! (LIve!)
So there was this thing on facebook today where I was asked to find out the number one song from the week I was born. I already knew the answer, because it's ALWAYS been a song related to my birthdate. My parents had pretty decent taste in music, and I've always credited our drives to [...]

Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up!
Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up! Well, after over a year of blogging wildly, jumping between genres like a kid with ADD, and building the TWD brand, I think it's finally time I bring some focus to my blogging. We started this site because all of our tastes are eclectic and wide-ranging - a quality that seems to be lost among todays musical landscape of buzzbands and indie trends. While my personal listening habits continue to be crazy, it's just too exhausting to try to give equal opportunity to every genre, era, [...]

Archie Bell And The Drells - Love Will Rain On You

Feb 14, 2011, 10:50am Head Underwater
Archie Bell And The Drells - Love Will Rain On You Archie Bell And The Drells - Love Will Rain On You It's really easy for your to be bitter when you're single or heartbroken. But you have to remember there are not alone. Remind yourself of how many songs there are about heart break, wanting someone you can never have or the fact that you long for someone in your life. So just kick back, identify and learn from songs about love, heartbreak, loneliness and any other emotion. You reap what your sow.

Strategy

Sep 4, 2009, 5:51pm DOLLAR BIN JAMS
Strategy I scored a cheap 12" of Strategy on a recent digging excursion. It was a nice surprise to preview it on the listening station and have an "oh, it's thaaaaat song" moment. At first I was thinking of making an edit, maybe extending the intro, but after a few listens I realized that this song is perfect as is. Here's a fresh rip of the 12" version, complete with a strangely loud break at the end. Archie Bell & The Drells - Strategy (Special Disco Version) Mediafire | [...]

Archie Bell and The Drells//Tighten Up

Jul 29, 2009, 1:11pm One Sweet Song
Archie Bell and The Drells//Tighten Up The previous song is undoubtably a tough act to follow, but if some song's gotta do it, this is the one. I think Ali first played this song for me, putting it on a mix, perhaps after Kate played it for her. Later, I played it for my dad, and he remembered it instantly, singing along. There's a lot to love about this song. Archie Bell's truly energetic while also strangely laid-back voice seems to me to exhibit the ultimate in cool. And of course, The Drells are thoroughly tightened up. All this [...]

Flashback: "Tighten Up"

Jan 3, 2009, 12:28pm Knox Road
Flashback: "Tighten Up" In 1968, Houston-based R&B group Archie Bell and the Drells released a single called "Tighten Up," which they say in the song is the music they "tighten up to." It reached #1 on the charts and is considered a classic blah blah blah. The tight jam session that makes up most of the "verse" of the song is a great tease that apparently was also good to dance to (see the "Tighten Up" dance that also became popular). It all falls apart beautifully when the group makes it "mellow" for a second and then comes right back into [...]

Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up (Bobby LaBeat Re-work) This one goes out to my man Will.... I know you gonna dig this.. [image by ollie] Bobby LaBeat has doen a great job of sharpening up this essential soul classic and licking it just right for 2k8 dancefloor.. The original has been a pretty regular track whenever we get together at CMYK central and i know that if you have't heard it before this is gonna be your new favourite bmore remix. This refix has just enough sass to keep the neck snappping and the fingers tapping. Good job Bobby and thanks for letting us post your work. Show Bobby some love at his myspace .. [...]

The Classics......Rework ed

Aug 6, 2008, 4:58pm Blastercase
The Classics......Rework ed Bobby LaBeat is from Virginia, and he just hooked it up with a wicked rework of "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells. I'm a big fan of classic R n B Club remixes, (if they are good, and this one is.) The only one I like better is Scottie B's Unruly Motown Medley, but that shit is completely unfuckwithable. LaBeat is a close second. The production on this track is top notch. I have a feeling this track may be busting up dance floors all over the place pretty soon. This one [...]

With all this hurricane-induced free time I thought I might troll around on a couple of forums. Lowbee Lowbee is always a solid forum to pick up anything from the newest pop-rap, actual old school electro, bmore, new electro, numerous remixes/re-edits, DJ mixes and everything else. The registered members are mostly DJs so the replies are usually informative and knowledgable.

SW Distressed Logo Tee

Apr 8, 2008, 4:11pm The Sean Show
SW Distressed Logo Tee I am good at distress. There's a metaphor if I ever heard one. This is the last tee-shirt I do for a while. It was a fun little distraction project, and I learned some stuff about typesetting and printmaking that I hadn't thought about previously. I'd been too caught up in the process of making that I hadn't really sat down to learn anything about how to move the crap I generate into the alleged real world-paper, cloth, whatever. As far as art goes, I'm in the process now of printing, sorting, deciding [...]
