Mash-up time again: On I'm in Love with Jane Birkin, a skateboarder and bootleg artist hiding behind the moniker B.A.R.T.O. & His Pop Orchestra fuses Serge & Jane's immortal cunnilingual dialogue with Beres Hammond's reggae tune I'm in Love – a daring, but smoothly executed operation. Another Gainsbourg aficionado is Nantes-based dancefloor entrepreneur and DJ John Poincarré : his amalgam of Serge's Bonnie & Clyde (pic: Brigitte B. as Bonnie) and the Beastie Boys' hiphop classic Body Movin' feels like a first-class pas de deux, gangsta-style. B.A.R.T.O. & His Pop Orchestra – I'm [...]

Jamaican reggae star Beres Hammond has been around for ages, and for no particular reason I just came across "Rock Away" today. This is by no means some new shit; it's off his album Music Is Life which dropped in 2001. Regardless, I just heard it for the first time and it's putting me in an unbelievably good mood. Some flawless, catchy, laid back reggae is always needed. Thanks to Beres Hammond for delivering. Also, thanks to Falade over at Sunset In The Rear View for enlightening me. Download: Beres [...]

Beres Hammond feat. Buju Banton, Assassin & I-Octane - " Love In The Streets " Um, wow. Beres + Buju is already a problem ( exhibit A ). Heck of a posse cut. And if you ain't already know, Beres Hammond is a triple quintuple OG! Ma dukes used to blast his tunes around the crib all the time. Anyone with more info about this track feel free to drop a note in the comments. I suspect it's from a new Beres compilation of some sort but don't quote me. img/ olivia
