Earlier this week my pal Jay at NuWavePony messaged me that I must check out his latest post, upon seeing it was a Grace Jones My Jamaican Guy remix I had yet to have the pleasure of listening to, I jumped right on it! DOWNLOAD My Jamaican Guy (Emplusive Naked Highway Remix) The reggae flavored original track on which Grace showcases her roots is absolutely phenomenal and this remix is a stunning accompaniment! Injected [...]

Last month in the U.K a wonderful documentary entitled Queens of Disco aired, it of course included the incomparable Grace Jones . Wearing a smashing headpiece and talking in her brilliantly kooky manner, she discusses her background and life as part of the New York downtown scene of the 1970s, where she was a regular at the famed Studio 54 . There is loads of great vintage footage thrown into the mix, as well as interviews with different people including Maripol and producer Tom Moulton , who [...]

There are not many people who are icons in the world of both fashion and music but then Grace Jones is no ordinary person. A fashion model for may years she made the transition to music with forays into disco, funk and pop. In the late 702s she released a trio of disco albums with legendary producer Tom Moulton at the helm before possible her best work, the "Night Clubbing" album was released in 1981. Its took the elements of disco and combined them with softer RnB and funk sensibilities to make a [...]

Diesen Freitag ( 16.03.12 ) fallen wir aus allen Wolken, denn ein belgischer Dj setzt mit lauter Indie-und Electro-Tunes im Gepäck vorm Club Gretchen zur Landung an. Aeroplane beflügelt mit seinem Electro-Disco-Sound nicht nur die Füße zum Tanzen, sondern versetzt uns einen Adrenalinkick wie beim Starten Richtung Himmel. Mit Remixen für die starke Grace Jones oder Friendly Fires ' " Paris " (checkt den Link unten) hat er einiges an Kerosin verbraucht, um in ferne Lande geholt zu werden, wo er seinen Sound gemeinsam mit seinem ehemaligen DJ-Partner The Magician durch [...]

It's amazing what a simple YouTube search can do for the creative process. With the entire world watching an expected emotional Grammys tonight on the heels of Whitney Houston's passing, [...]

French lingerie brand Etam pulled out all the stops at their Paris Fashion Week runaway show recruiting Grace Jones , Chaka Khan , Sister Sledge , Gloria Gaynor & The Pointer Sisters to model outfits and perform on the runaway! Grace Jones alone would have been enough to get me excited but when you add Chaka Khan who is another of my favorite divas, and some of disco's finest in the mix, [...]

WAIT, WHAT?! File this one under disco dreams come true. On Monday night, French fashion line Etam presented their Studio 54-inspired Spring/Summer 2012 lingerie collection at the Beaux-Arts de Paris for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. In order to truly capture the essence of the glittering days of disco, the fashion house took it a step further by enlisting Grace Jones , Chaka Khan , Gloria Gaynor , Sister Sledge and The Pointer Sisters to come and belt out their classic tunes amidst multi-colored [...]

2012 Disco Inferno! Yesterday Sister Sledge, Chaka Khan, Grace Jones, Gloria Gaynor and the Pointer Sisters all took to the stage at the Etam Fashion Show In Paris. Dressed up for the occasion in glittering outfits, they gave onlookers a trip down memory lane as they performed their Disco hits from the Seventies. The disco-medley was the perfect accompaniment to the 70s-influenced collection of metallic plunge body-suits and dance floor neons. Take a look of their performance below. http://electrowow-music.blogsp ot.com

Hello...how are you? Well, it's been quite a long time. Perhaps there are two or three of you out there who still may read this. It's been a landmark year for me in terms of the gigs I managed to see. Mainly because I kept leaving Winnipeg. In February, I got to see Gang of Four in Toronto, and they were one of the most exciting bands I've ever seen. Unlike The Buzzcocks, who I saw last year, GoF are still clearly passionate and earnest about what they do. Andy Gill was a badass, and Jon King was a maniac. [...]

Unknown - Luv. Three A / Love Unlimited Vibes (LUV 003) by matthias meyer LUV 03 B by LOVE UNLIMITED VIBES The vinyl is back, once again gaining more and more attention as a media format during 2011. For two reasons. First, since everybody and their mom are able to "Dj" today thanks to the modern solutions like Ableton , Traktor and Serato. We love the technology and how it takes [...]

Grace Jones has joined Twitter! Become a slave to the rhythm and follow @Miss_GraceJones . Our daily mix is about to get sassy, if she in fact will be tweeting on her account. So far, it doesn't look so personal. Let's just hope for it! In other news, two of her early (and absolutely necessary!) albums Fame and Muse will be remastered/reissued soon, learn more here . I leave you with one of my favorite Grace Jones videos + songs, Love On Top Of Love.

It appears that on November 30th Grace Jones fans will be finally treated to remastered versions of Fame and Muse , two albums produced by Tom Moulton as part of the disco trilogy (also including Portfolio) released in the late 70's that kick started her career. I remember these both albums being a real pain to track down when I first started really getting into Grace, and I'm excited to finally lay my hands on decent quality remastered versions (alas with no bonus [...]

"I can give birth to sheep"/ "I can be cool": evidently 19 years spent on a self-imposed hiatus did little to diminish Grace Jones ' impenetrable tower of confidence. In her first body of work since Bulletproof Heart (released back in 1989) and eager to prove she was as intriguing as ever, her 10th studio album Hurricane was unleashed. It's almost like Jones gazed into her zeitgest crystal ball and foresaw Rihanna's androgynous R-rated phase and the arrival of the global pop/fashionista phemenomem we now know as Lady Gaga. Thus somewhat rightfully felt [...]
