Before talking about the main issue of this post I want to thank our good friend Eleonore Constant for the shout. Definitely this remix from the French duo Cheap Kidz have made my day. Honestly, I didn't know the original track from The Joubert Singers, which is from 1985 (listen here) and I didn't know these [...]
Vendredi dernier nous célébrions non sans peine la triste disparition de J Dilla . Comme tous les ans le 10 février est source de dédicaces et d'hommages en tous genres. Cette année le label indépendant Feelin' Music remet le couvert. Après nous avoir servi une première compilation l'année dernière, la crème de la crème des beatmakers se retrouve une seconde fois autour du projet Do The Dilla pour une version 2012. Au tracklisting Oogo (La Fine Equipe), Moka Only , Lefto [...]

So, last Friday, while Andy Campbell was holding down the fort at Gigantic , I was down at the Workman's Club in Dublin playing the second birthday party of the awesome Glider . It is one of the best nights in the city, and the people who run it - Cillian , Tanya and Bernie - are all totally awesome and lovely. Usually the club takes place on the second floor, but with it being the 2nd birthday they decided to take over the whole building. This [...]

I remember when this track came out, I think it was summer of '08 and there were all these conspiracy theories about Keedz being Justice in disguise etc. There's no question this track was inspired by the French duo's sample heavy dance style but weather or not Gaspard and Xavier are playing one big trick on everyone is inconsequential. The production on this track is so phenomenal that it's a very special joint regardless of who made it. The sample used in this records is an '80s gospel song performed by The Joubert Singers. The original Stand On The Word [...]

You know those songs you hear that have so little in common with what you normally listen to, yet you find yourself absolutely enthralled by? Case in point: Larry Levan's 1985 remix of Stand On The World by the Joubert Singers. From what I've been able to gather, the Joubert Singers were a real choir in New York that recorded a live album, which sold reasonably well and managed to find its way into the hands of disco and funk DJs, who incorporated the track into their mixes. Larry Levan, a extremely hottt house DJ of [...]
It's been an awesome year here at Pinglewood. Thanks to you all for reading. There won't be any lists here, but we've catalogued Little Boots videos for FADER's Listmania 2008 and written about stuff we've liked for the NME (it's not up yet, but we'll put a link here when it appears). To end the year we've plundered Banjo Or Freakout's amazing blog for something seasonally appropriate, while the last song of the night is a disco classic, reworked by Hot Coins for a great new Tirk compilation. See you in a couple of weeks!

Joubert Singers - Stand on the World (Larry Levan Mix) I'm not sure the true story of the track, there are several different versions. Discogs credits disco remix pioneer Walter Gibbons (and his early 80's religious conversion) with it's discovery. A Youtube clip of the song lists it as released in 1982, as opposed to Discogs 1985 listing for both the original and Tony Humphries remix releases. Also, French electro group Keedz recently released a version of the track that's gotten some play on Annie Mac's BBC show. This is Larry Levan's mix, which I originally [...]

Il y a des chansons qui vous prennent entièrement en moins de temps qu'il en faut pour le dire.

(oui oui il est question ici de chanson) Stand On The Word est de celles là. Idéale pour prendre la route (rdv la semaine prochaine). The Joubert Singers - Stand On The Word [...]

There has been a rumor around the "blogosphere" that the track "Stand on the World" by Keedz has something to with Justice. The fact is this track is simply a rip-off of the Justice sound and has nothing to with the band (despite the fact that Justice is listed as the number one friend on Keedz' myspace .) It seems that Universal France is trying to make a D.A.N.C.E 2008 with this track, using the the forumal of choir vocals + slap bass line. The history of this song is actually quite interesting.

Hey la compagnie ! Me revoilà encore une fois pour vous faire péter les tympans, enfin, non pas aujourd'hui. Je pars aujourd'hui (quelques jours, me ressourcer et laisser le temps à mes tympans de retrouver la vie). Donc plutôt que de partir sur un post qui bourine, comme le dit le titre, je vais faire dans le sentimental ! Je me tais, let's go music! Pour commencer, mon gros coup de cœur sentimental. On en parlait quelques posts en dessous, le fameux Allemand Boys Noize . Alala.. Il nous sert un remix d' Apparat [...]
