Another classic Kurtis Blow production..this should’ve been a hit..I’m use to the “Krush Groove” version. This was a pretty soulful number for its time, I can imagine Sade adding vocals to this track.

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.

ode to the feminine fats

Okay, lately i’ve been in an analog state of mind. I’ve been doing some spring cleaning while re orgaznizing the 90′s section of my library and I ran into some jewels that I always thought were pretty cool but also they also pay homage to the ladies. Here we go, turn it up!

didnt know these cats were from North Cakalaki! The production on this was way ahead of its time..

my man flipped that Steely!

this is my anthem! way before “I Need Love”!

Count Mackula..Kane/Blue Magic..need I say more! (u know damn well that aint Kane singing, lol).

Turn this mofo way up! Yes, that is very young Fat Joe at the end of vid. Long live DITC!

HIP HOP’S GREATEST DJ/MC DUO! Regal!

I use to wear out the entire “Straight Out Of The Jungle” album and this was one of the highlights. Biggups to my man Markus (where ever you at) who traded me a Lawanda Page record for the vinyl on this release.

Message to Markus: I ended up finding another copy of the Lawanda Page album as i’m sure you now have an mp3 or cd of “Straight Out The Jungle” by now. Peace Bro!

of course there is the anthem, but you know what? this was THE version at the jams..

Al Green was used to perfection! no intro needed…

Here’s how you get kicked out of a supermarket…

Okay, so i’m at the supermarket doing the household thing right? I hit the frozen veggies section and almost lose it the moment I hear the synth and the ol’ Lynn drum. I swear I heard at least 5 songs (incl Van Mccoy’s “The Hustle”..my personal favorite.. Steve Gadd kills it on that record!) that were straight “butters” all the way through at the supermarket! But this was the sealer..Enjoy! Biggups to the Video One/Night Tracks/ Classic MTV era (when they actually played music!). Aww yes, when we didnt have a care in the world..Love them 80′s..

Ps: Mix this with “Yah Mo Be There” its a wrap! (dont forget my 10% cut )
