Spanish language Latin disco covers of Ben E King, McFadden & Whitehead and Chic??  Buy everything you can by this band and spin them like it’s still 1976.

afro-soul

May 7, 2008

More digging around last night. One thing I have to say about having all my records all over the place is you really never know what you will turn up. I think if everything was neat and ordered A-B-C it wouldn’t be so much fun.

Killer grooves from Hilton-Brown and backing band Assagai from 1974. Who would have thought that arguing with your lady could be so artistically creative? Though when she heard the finished track, and the line, ‘Woman, you damn ignorant’ - it probably set them off all over again…

brothers on the side…i love okra

May 7, 2008

Matt’s I Love Okra is the kind of space I would like to run if I was a little more organised and a little less technophobic.  His radio shows, captured on the blogspot, are thoughfully crafted and extremely well put together.  His research into music is insightful and the play-lists dig into areas of interest for any music lover.  We could all learn a little from Okra, and as you know, it’s good for you too…

Traditionally we are a dance band with that higher degree…especially my little addition - which I hold so dear to my heart. My satisfaction would be that those three minutes, that they will dance that number, they will forget about all existing conditions to them at that moment – which they do. And they just enjoy the moment which is the dancing, and it relates right back to me.   Which is my plane, which is my life. My religion.

Drop a comment if you’ve heard this before, I’m thinking it might be a little “Jez Special” ;)

as if a heart beat wasn’t enough

May 2, 2008

 Been doing some more digging at the back of the cupboards!  From a Ninja Tune 12″ years back.  Stunning tune and poetry.  Check it.

…as if a heart beat wasn’t enough
they got us using drum machines now
the hums of the machines
tryin to make our drums humdrum
tryin to mute our magic
instruments be political prisioners up inside computers
as if the heart were not enough
as if the heart were not enough…
