Members Only: You Are The One | AM-FM
This was a huuuge record back east.. (WHERE YOU AT DC?!), it also had very minimal but strong “spins” for awhile here in LA. I went ape sh_t when I found the white label promo a few years ago during my travels..I dropped this one during the warm up set at our “Golden Stereo” event last week and Mr. Sly Stone’s b’day party at Zanzibar in LA a few month’s back. The sound system must be up to par in order to feel the effect of this song..Super Funk is always good to GO GO!!!
PS: Big shout to my homeslice Nikita.

My man in the yellow goes hard!! Saturday Nite Fever (with a pinch of “Tommy” and “Sgt Pepper”) was a major gateway for dance culture to a great degree, as we can see in these clips.
and Jimmy came back for that ass!! get em’ Jimmy!!

WARNING: the narrator is corny and rather narrow minded in his approach..”Primacy in rhythm”? wtf..just say the word FUNK! its that simple.. Overall, the presentation has amazing footage, good intent and is worthy of attention.

Nicolay | City Lights v2 Shibuya | Review
Ambient tones, soulful echoes and electro sounds are few of the many ingredients created in this audio collage. Nicolay clocks in with a sequel to “City Lights v1″ , in which “City Lights v2″ bears a mature and seasoned sound. The many moods that are captured on this album takes the listener on an audio canvas as a painter searching for a visual climax. “Bullet Train” reigns in a euphoric yet busy atmosphere, while dwelling in a dark and promise future. “Omotesando” has a loose and open feeling while leaning on a heavy Jazz Fusion groove, this is my personal favorite under the “City Lights”. “Meiji Shrine” gives a pinch of the Nicolay signature sound found in previous works, while serving as a reminder that the funk is still in control. The “buzz” cut is “Wake Up In Another Life” featuring vocalist Carlitta Durand, this lively piece is another highlight on the album worth checking out. This release sets a fresh and redefinitive approach in additon to exploring new ground, “City Lights v2″ is the sure shot!

livin’ 4 the funk: James Brown | Tripple Shotter
“Mind Power” -1974 (no words..the song speaks for itself..)
“Im Broken Hearted” -1975 (JB goes sensitive on the Funk..my man was trying tap into to that Al Green market! Ironically, it was his signature ballads that put him on the map in the earlier years. This should’ve been a single.)
“Like it is, Like it was” -1972 (yes, this is the extended from “Black Caeser”)
Vid Picks: Nola Darling’s B’day
