erlend oye

April 8, 2008

 
I promised this track to Marcy over at Lost… a long time ago, but then I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Marcy, this is the one I was telling you about.  Came out on a 12″ on Source Records with an instrumental and accapella.  Production courtesy of Morgan Geist (Metro Area).

danny wang

February 22, 2008

I have been meaning to post this track for time. But then I have also been meaning to use it in my next mixtape - and I have an unwritten rule: to keep the mixtape gems off the blog, until after the mix.
But so much time has passed, and I still haven’t found an opening […]

in the air tonight

February 20, 2008

I was in two minds when I bought this record, on the one hand, it is Osunlade - and I dig Onsulade. On the other, it is Phil Collins’ ‘In The Air Tonight’ which I never need to hear again in my life.
Osunlade…
Phil Collins…
I couldn’t decide. In the end I got it, because […]

pyramide

February 19, 2008

This is not a new track, in fact others in this series have already been released. But I was asked to mp3 this to a friend and I thought not to waste the chance to share it with my Innersounds friends.
Ara-Balearic, rock the Casbah indeed…

n’dambi

February 11, 2008

N’Dambi was supposed to hit several years ago in an Erykah Badu stylee. That hit never really happened. Jill Scott hit, Angie Stone hit, even Jaguar Wright hit to some extent - but N’Dambi never did quite cross-over from the Indie-Soul scene.
Who knows why these things happen, why some make it and […]

house of 909

February 7, 2008

A massive big up to KeironB, who used to tolerate me hanging around with him when I first moved to The Big Smoke. He introduced me to alot of ‘faces’ on the London scene, and put up with me train-spotting records at his house, on his mixtapes, or at the record shop.
Being old […]

dawn of nu-jazz

January 31, 2008

I used to DJ with a lot of these kinds of records at the turn of the century. I found it in amongst some boxes of records at my parent’s house over Christmas.
Not sure if it would still get played though, what do you think?

dj tools

January 24, 2008

Some edits are put together for fun and to be used to get from A to B in a mix. They are just DJ Tools and as such are not supposed to be big or clever. A groove with (usually) a few vocal samples.
It’s up to the DJ to use them in […]

mashups go on & on…

January 9, 2008

Picking your way through a record shop strewn with mash-ups, bootlegs, re-edits and re-presses is no easy job. Was it ever thus? Well, yeah, actually, despite all the online moaning, there have always been re-edits floating around.
Some better than others. But then it’s like disco. You can knock some disco, but not all disco. […]
