Of the many records dubbed as "Classic House" that came out of the US in the late 802s there are few that can have as uplifting effect as the 1987 classic "Promised Land" by Joe Smooth . Joe was a self taught musician who was also known to DJ around the early Chicago house scene but is best know for his productions with this week's classic being the zenith of his achievement. With Anthony Thomas on vocal duties the tune speaks of brothers, sisters and always gets the smiles up when its gets played out. This [...]
Electronica covers, like I may have have mentioned in previous posts, tend to run on the scarce side. But in a testament of sorts to the timelessness of house music, today I've got not one, but four versions 1988 house classic Promised Land by house pioneer Joe Smooth . Not just a great dance record, but a great slice of uplifting soul. Though not anywhere near the first of it's genre, it did lay down the blueprint not only for the Chicago sound but pretty much laid down the standard for all [...]

Codebreaker is the two-piece band of Steven Hawley and Sage Schwarm coming right from Christmas Island. They just released their first Silver Lining EP featuring remixes by Joe Smooth and The Outrunners . The single will be included in their forthcoming album The Space Chase due early 2011. Their sound is described as "some crazy house party where Cameo is drinking with Prince, Phoenix is partying with Daft Punk and Bootsy Collins is jamming on the sofa." My personal favorite is The Outrunners remix - a very engaging version! Codebreaker [...]
25 jaar Trax Records (Chicago label) doet je beseffen dat de house scene al dik drie generaties oud is en dat het eigenlijk ongekend is dat een muzieksoort zo onverminderd populair is als deze dancestroming. Een flinke dip in de jaren 90 daargelaten is house nooit weggeweest uit de clubscene en drijft een oord als Ibiza zelfs uitsluitend op de clubtoerist en is Pacha inmiddels een franchise met clubs over de hele wereld. Tijd om het feestje nog maar s dunnetjes over te doen moet URB magazine gedacht hebben en nodigde de [...]
Funny how time flies, growing up in the city I use to hop the train and today I'm writing this post today from a private plane... Monolo: Just remember last year at this time we were in a fucking cage, okay? Tony: You remember. I'd like to forget that. Manolo: I say be happy with what you got. Tony: You be happy. Me, I want what's coming to me. Manolo: What's coming to you? Tony: The world, chico... and everything in it. Ambition [...]
I really like Findlay Brown 's cover of Joe Smooth 's 1987 house classic "Promised Land", since it in my view is a homage to the soul music that influenced the Chicago house music in general, and Smooth's song in particular. The original is very dear to me, and I would say that there are few places in time that has influenced me as much as Chicago around the mid and late 80s, with perhaps the exception of Detroit around the same time. Of course i didn't really know it then, being a kid in a suburb outside [...]
Je respecte la sagesse, le savoir de la Terre-Mère , les safaris en steppe et les animaux de la jungle, par conséquent je respecte le continent africain et ses dictateurs déconneurs . Mais j'ai aussi une certain affection pour les démocrates emprisonnés au nom de la liberté et leur volonté de s'affranchir des lois immorales laissées par l'homme occidental. Vous aurez compris que je parle du souriant Nelson Mandela . C'est sans doute pour satisfaire mon cruel désir de chansons politisées à propos du statut de l'homme noir en Afrique du Sud que [...]
B rothers...Sisters...This is in my ears the ultimate House Track. No matter where you are or when this track is played, one thing is for sure; People are gonna be Clapping, Singing, Dancing and yes...sometimes even crying. There will be people embracing in Love and some even waiting to take someone home. At least in my humble and rather critical opinion, this track gives me the chills. Seriously, it might be the lyrics or maybe just the melody. Maybe it's that piano, maybe it's just everything. For Someone who called himself Joe Smooth , this track is [...]
Perfect World Download audio file (09PerfectWorld.mp3) One of my personal favourite dance tracks. A lot better than 'Promised Land'.
Hey, I've been working my ass off and that's why I haven't been writing those past days, but know you'll experience the full force of the Kad :P You know me, I like music that works for everybody in any main floor. This is a discovery made some time ago but I thought I share it anyhow. What is it called, when [...]
