Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: One of the best synth riffs in existence, from 1988, Salt 'N' Pepa 's 'Push It'. Austrian Pop maverick Falco 's 'Rock Me Amadeus' was an unexpected runaway hit in 1985. In 1984 Mr. Billy Ocean released one of the smoothest songs of all time, 'Caribbean Queen (No More [...]
Billy Ocean was in Dublin last night as part of his Greatest Hits Tour.

Grammy-Winning Legend Billy Ocean Makes Debut At London's Under the Bridge Having sold over 30 million albums, Billy Ocean is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced. He has enjoyed a stunning 40-year career filled with dozens of hugely popular singles and albums, both at home and in the USA, including chart-topping hits When The Going Gets Tough, Caribbean Queen and Love Really Hurts Without You. Following last year's sold out UK tour, the award winning singer will be bringing his infectious blend of Caribbean soul, funk, pop [...]
Sartorially speaking, I've come a long way since the '80s. But then, haven't we all? While my older brother Jeff was rocking a blend of Ready for the World and Purple Rain , Jheri curl and all (he and his friends entered a high-school "air band" contest as Prince and the Revolution performing "Let's Go Crazy" but lost to a bunch of toga-wearing future frat boys mouthing the Isley Brothers' "Shout"), I was going for something a little more uptown elegant. My personal fashion icon: soul singer Jeffrey Osborne, whose [...]

MAM - One Of Them Nights (Alternative Mix) by Soul Clap & FreE.P. A few days ago Boston duo Soul Clap released the third installment of the FreE.P series by MAM (aka Miguel Campbell & Matt Hughes) via their website . This free EP features "three bonafide dancefloor bombs that have become staples in our DJ sets over the summer and are a fantastic representation of the MAM sound; thumping french-touched, sample-crazy house music, but slowed down for a new generation". Check out the incredible edit [...]
Slayed. That's what we are this morning. There is no other solo artist right now who tickles our waiting fancy more than that of mysterioso Londoner, Tyson . Today, we've got his news single and video, and news of who to expect on the remix tip. Massive radness after the image. After You're Gone sounds eerily similar to most of the singer's small catalogue of cuts, but it's emphatically dramatic on slowed down vocals [...]

Mashup Monday – We're going to melt you faces off with enough mashed up music to make you wanna slap yo' mama. itstk will be bringing you the dopest dope in the mashup world. We've been scouring the music lands, and filing through tracks that you enthusiastic readers and musicians have sent us. We've found mashups from DJ's far and wide. We've found down-tempo ones. We've found super fast and beaty ones. Short ones and long ones. Ones that you wanna sit back and enjoy, and ones that will make you want [...]
This is the sort of thing that Google Ads are made for: As a part of his "From Daryl's House" web performance series, Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates performed a live show with Billy Fucking Ocean, playing jams like "Caribbean Queen," "One on One" and "Love Train." This is pretty awesome/crazy/perfect for detached irony. Watch it over here . Just the perfect thing for Thursday.
Emerging act Tyson releases some retro visuals for his (our theme music) retro single "Out Of My Mind." Now let us enjoy above, seriously loving everything he's doing. Our Team Tyson shirts are currently being printed out. Billy Ocean would surely approve.............

Billy Ocean - Loverboy(Anthony Atcherley & Mark Coupe rmx) by Anthony Atcherley

BABY JAZZ is the collaboration between Golden Chow (Samuel Cooper of Sunglasses ) and Teen Wolfe (Elgin Braden of Aux Arc ). They teamed up to create BABY JAZZ, a new project where they're releasing individual singles to be collected for a full-length album that will come with a companion comic book. They first caught the blog world by storm with the incredible 12 minute jam, "Michael Jordan". Now they are back with "Billy Ocean", a song that's part ambient, part electronic drowsiness. I imagine that this is what the world sounds like when we're [...]

Ricordate Billy Ocean , l'artista che scatenò intere generazioni dalla metà degli anni '80, sicuro di sè, che mostrava energia e stile quando si esibiva? L'artista nato a Trinidad ha venduto nel corso della carriera oltre 30 milioni di dischi nella sua vita, che non sono male, e ancora oggi produce musica coinvolgente tra ballate, pezzi reggae e soca. C'è qualcuno che prova a replicare la stessa sicurezza di Billy Ocean, riproponendo il pezzo che lo ha lanciato nel 1985, la "Caribbean Queen" - qui , il videoclip originale- per la quale vinse [...]

I remember when we first met...she was wearing these painted-on jeans...and she told me I was the tiger she wanted to tame. It all happened so fast, I mean... I was just running my game, in search of a good time, love was the furthest...furthest from my mind. It takes a certain bravery to attempt to replicate the same playful swagger of a Billy Ocean , while belting out the hopelessly cheesy lyrics to "Caribbean Queen". Thankfully, as summer nears, the men of a&r summoned the courage to revive the American poolside anthem. Rocko Rochee and Alex [...]

Baby Jazz - Billy Ocean ( mp3 )

Download: Billy Ocean - Loverboy (Dub Mix) You know Billy Ocean? Covered Boyzone's 'When the going get's tough' didn't he? Well it's one of those little known facts that isn't little known - but he's from Romford, he doesn't sound like he should be from Romford, there is nothing Essex about his slickly produced and undeniably catchy R&B, this is probably why he did so well on both sides of the Atlantic (<< I'm a sucker for Carribean Queen [...]
