We've done it again! Tunawax is the 2011 Intercontinental Dryhump Champions. But rather than hold it over your heads, we're giving back…Finely picked dance tracks to go cotton to cotton with. The only thing that didn't somewhat irritate me this morning. I think you'll agree that it's absolute heat, and if you leave your avocado laying around, I'll eat it. A bit of tha ol' ultra electro. Dryhump Champion : Blondie - Heart Of Glass (L.E.D. Remix) (don lowed)
"If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you've done and whoever you were and throw them away. What are we, anyway? Most of what we think we are is just a collection of likes and dislikes, habits, patterns. At the core of what we are is our values, and what decisions and actions we make reflect those values. That is why it's hard doing interviews and being visible: As you [...]
after all, I've got dew under my skin. Dryhump Champion : Bucketheads - The Bomb (Into My Mind) (don lowed) -- Dryhump Champion : Bucketheads - The Bomb (1995) (don lowed)
We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming... to bring you something a little bit different this week. A spanking new dubstep mix (Dub Sandwich 2: The Second Helping) by Hecubus that will leave your bare ass heated and glowing. I like this guy. I do. You should too. Do not avoooooooid the hounds of hell! Do not avoooooooid the beasts of brimstone! Do not avoooooooid the puppies... of... purgatory. You must always embrace? the hellfire! Hellfire! Hellfire! [...]
I want to crush, cook and shove this into my veins this until it's at least 71% of the fluid coursing through my body. But first I have to do some work. Dryhump Champion : Si Begg - Better Living Through Distortion (Lars Moston And Duncan Whiteley Remix) (don lowed)
darling, you send me. Makout : The Brothers Two - How To Make Love (don lowed) -- Makout : Syl Johnson - I Hear The Love Chimes (don lowed) -- Makout : Salsou Orchestra - Ooh I Love It (Love Break) (don lowed) -- Makout : Lou Donaldson - Whos Making Love (don lowed) -- [...]
I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize. - George Bernard Shaw I can't really fit this one in anywhere but first. So a slow start today, but amongst all the madness it's alright. Clearly emphasizing the real genius of The Pixies... songs. Fingerbanger 1 : Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind (Pixies Cover) (don lowed) -- Every atom in your body came from a [...]
Dyke & the Blazers (1964–1971) were one of the first acts - possibly the first notable act - to play funk other than James Brown. Indeed, they often sounded like a sort of junior version of Brown and the JB's, playing songs in which the rhythms and riffs mattered more than the tune. Similarly, vocalist Dyke Christian sang/grunted words that mattered more for the feeling and rhythm than the content. (copy/paste) Arlester "Dyke" Christian is also notably a member of the 27 Club Throwback : Dyke & The Blazers - [...]
We've done it again! Tunawax is the 2011 Intercontinental Dryhump Champions. But rather than hold it over your heads, we're giving back…Finely picked dance tracks to go cotton to cotton with. Write me back tomorrow and let me know how you're doing. Dryhump Champion : Zoo Brazil - Black Tea (Original Mix) (don lowed)
This week I noticed that things in the basement had gone unusually quiet, and a silent Fuzzy is a bad sign. So with trepidation I descended deep into the vaults only to find that it was cleaner than usual, though smelled of something metallic burning. So I began to dig a bit out of curiosity and found some of my old crates on the dark end of the Codigator tunnel... I know I got this from the best unknown producer AckiPablo so long ago that I don't remember anything about it except that before it I was deaf, [...]
I'm toying with the idea of dedicating a whole day/category to the Amen break and calling it Sunday Service. It would probably take several decades to run out of songs that have used and abused The Winstons "Amen Brother" sample. But regardless of that, this song is notable for an entirely different reason. It is one of the very first (if not often called the first) "Ragga Jungle" tracks ever (1991). Throwback : Lennie De Ice - We Are ie (don lowed) -- Been getting the remix treatment for [...]
Dryhump Champion : J Vandal - Green Smoke (don lowed)
I've come into contact with a lot more villains since I moved from vandalism into selling paintings. - Banksy Fingerbanger 1 : Diamond Messages - Boys In Grey Shirts (Rich & Pennyless Remix) (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 2 : Diamond Messages - Liquid Summer (don lowed) -- Nothing new here, but a chill song that fits today. Fingerbanger 3 : The XX - VCR (Four Tet Remix) (don lowed) -- [...]
Even though most people don't listen to it; Jazz is cool. At least that's how its been played back to us. Even those of us that weren't there to experience its quick burning flame have romantic imagery of uptown heroin fueled sessions of the giants of jazz in black and white blurring all boundaries of music, culture, and race. Truth or not, no one can escape that it's hip to like Jazz (even if you don't) . Now, if someone were to mention jazz fusion or worse yet... smooth jazz... you're likely to imagine the lobby at the worlds most [...]
I don't know what kind of nerve it takes to rip off the easily recognizable main loops from one of the most classic dance songs of all time, stick little bigger beat behind it, and claim it as your own, but that's what Alex Kenji & Federico Scavo have done. Now one might be inclined to point out that the original Paperclip People loop comes from Loleatta Holloway's song 'Hit and Run', and so they are just using that same loop. No harm, no foul. But I'm calling bullshit on that they just happened to use the same 2 bar [...]
This above all — to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.. Shakespeare, Hamlet Fingerbanger 1 : Hopeton Lewis - Take It Easy (don lowed) -- What they really mean is, these boots were made for riding. Fingerbanger 2 : Symarip - These Boots Were Made For Walkin (don lowed) -- I'm in a good mood and I [...]
We've done it again! Tunawax is the 2011 Intercontinental Dryhump Champions. But rather than hold it over your heads, we're giving back…Finely picked dance tracks to go cotton to cotton with. Since when do I like minimal? Since when do I like textures & patterns? Since always. This is just unreally (unreal + really) awesome. Google sucks. Who the fuck is Kntu? Dryhump Champion : Kntu - Unstoppable (don lowed)
Is it bad luck comes in threes? Or just luck in general? Either way my string continues with # 2 as I ended up with a massive black-out concussion this week, so the majority of the week I hardly could move my head - let alone listen anything louder than a page of a book turn. That isn't to say these songs aren't good... just that I'm still on the red-eyed stupor tip, still braving the storm. Don't hate. Where the fuck is Fuzzy? I owe him one. Fingerbanger 1 : Para - Save Your [...]
Among the most repeated things my father has ever said to me is, " I don't care if you like it, do what you know your suppose to do when you know you're suppose to do it." Come to find out that he probably stole this little piece of wisdom from Thomas Henry Huxley, who said, "Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done whether you like it or not. It is the first lesson that ought to be [...]
Words have the power to destroy or heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world. - Jack Kornfield A couple of the more notorious vocal samples in my mind, and if not yours, then enjoy for the well made sounds. Use your voice. Light a fire. Throwback : Cannonball Adderley - Walk Tall (don lowed) -- Throwback : Dave & Ansil Collins - Double Barrel (don lowed) --
