also sprach brasil!
December 10, 2009
You may well have heard Deodato’s b-boy funk break version of this Strauss tune on some TV show, compilation or even about the ‘Net. Here it is again, but with some space keys and synth for full cosmic effect. Meirelles – Also Sprach Zarathrustra **This came out really quiet from the LP, you’ll need [...]

get it up for love (again)
November 27, 2009
So, the other day I blogged this. Here is one of the other treatments of the song that I was telling you about in that post. Finally tracked down a copy of the LP today in Notting Hill. The album has a few other killers on it too, so well worth looking for. Just [...]

get it up for love
November 14, 2009
I’m back from further travels at last. Nice to be home. Apologies to peeps who have been checking back and getting no updates. Things at work are a bit twilight zone at the moment, which after 5 years of relative peace is weird. So I pulled a random record to blog as usual, and [...]

ghetto disco
October 12, 2009
T.K. Disco is one of those really important labels that people into the music know a lot about; and those who only know disco as Abba and the Bee Gees have never heard of. This interview should shed some light on the Miami outfit for people in both camps. Essential music that even broke the [...]

October 11, 2009
As you can probably guess I have been away. More travel coming up later in the month, but until then I’ll try and keep this place ticking over… Was in Palm Springs for some work and sniffed out a little vinyl store in a strip mall. Found this nestled in the racks for a couple [...]

ain’t no sunshine
August 16, 2009
Huge anticipation at Casa Innersounds over the Bill Withers documentary coming soon. If it is possible to love a man you have never met, nor ever will, I think I love Bill Withers. Great music, great soul and a great outlook on life. In celebration I’ve pulled this Brazilian version of Ain’t No Sunshine played [...]

pina colada
August 14, 2009
Deodato has arranged more music than I have eaten hot dinners and worked somewhere, in some capacity, on seemingly every album ever released, ever. Even like Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath…probably. Famous amongst hip hop heads and funk DJs for his Also Sprach Zarathustra jam. He also did a fair amount of lightweight lounge room [...]
