After dropping the Red Eye Flights LP under the Calvin Valentine moniker, producer/rapper G_Force is back at it with a fun little EP to hold over his fans. Taking to classic Bee Gees records, G_Force chopped and slapped a ton of awesome grooves together to create the Bee Geez EP. It is all about the beats right now, as the talented producer continues to surprise us behind the boards with a rather eclectic taste for samples. Give it a spin and let us know what you think.

The Grim Reaper wreaked havoc in May. Robin Gibb, Donna Summer and Adam Yauch were the headliners, but there were also members of The Dillards and Crowded House who left us. Two blues and soul guitarists died: Charles Pitts, who played on so many of Isaac Hayes’ records (his guitar helped make The Theme of Shaft such an iconic track) and Pete Cosey, who played on many Chess records. In April we lost Andrew Love, who was involved in creating the iconic intro for Otis Redding’s Try A Little Tenderness. In May we lost another co-creator of a [...]

Joining the dots between posthumous tributes and daydream reverie, the duo known as  Equateur submit to us their take on one of the Bee Gees’ most memorable classics alongside their own single called ‘Haunted.’  It resides an unbelievable remix by NEUS and is absolutely spell-bounding to say the least. Packed into a hay barn of broken beat and eclectic farmhouses and pens, is Benji Boko’s  bonanza of unmitigated findings name-checking Fatboy Slim, Roots Manuva and DJ Shadow as a few of those inspiring souls. What makes things even more appealing is that you can download this [...]

So I've been spending some time recently filtering through "stuff." That is, combing through piles, boxes, and closets full of belongings in the attempt to get our house ready for sale. One thing that'll wreck our chance of a sale, even more so than walls painted in disturbing (read: not beige) colors, is the presence of the evil clutter. So [...]

The recent death of Robin Gibb has left many of us running towards our dusty LPs, namely Children of the World and  Saturday Night Fever , to spin them again and again with a box of tissues in hand. But whilst listening-and staring at enough group photos of the Gibb brothers-we started wondering how many acts had the uncanny characteristic of sporting twin siblings. After some research and thinking, we were surprised to discover that, yes, there are others - many others! Now, in honor of Mr. Robin Gibb, Consequence of Sound presents the [...]

Robin Gibb, 1949-2012 It seems like the "in memoriam" posts are coming fast and furious lately - and I didn't even do one for Donna Summer, as much as I like a few of her hits. But I couldn't let the death of the Bee Gees' Robin Gibb today at the age of 62 from cancer go unremarked, because I was a bit of a fan back in the '70s, and heck, they were one of the most successful groups ever. While Barry Gibb may have been the most dominant vocal presence in [...]

Tom Schnabel Now that I've written about Donna Summer and Chuck Brown, I would be remiss not to mention the passing of Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.   Far better known than Washington D.C's Go Go Music, which was popular during the 70s and 80s but remained a more regional genre,  the Bee Gees-formerly a blue-eyed soul trio called the Brothers Gibb-skyrocketed to stardom, along with John Travolta, because of their soundtrack to Saturday NIght Fever .  The Bee Gees are up there with Donna Summer in being [...]
