i’m ready
May 1, 2008
I was out jarring with Jaksoul of Basilika fame and he was telling me about his new(ish) residency with Christophe and others at Ain’t It Black.
Seems it’s a proper old skool 80’s synth hoe-down that goes off even on school nights.
I probably wouldn’t have the right records for that crowd, but getting home I pulled […]

gaspar lawal
April 29, 2008
Gaspar Lawal, a favourite with David Byrne and other world heads. The album is start-to-finish awesome and can move any (open-minded) dancefloor.

third world
April 22, 2008
The more I learn about Third World the more I love.
Several records in their back-catalogue are ‘Loft’ classics, and draw a big cheesy grin from me too.
This has to be my personal favourite though, and what with Spring here and Summer just around the corner, maybe a good time to start dropping some Summertime vibes.
Third World - […]

sueno latino
April 21, 2008
“I like this track” seems a little weak next to what this Discogs fan has to say:
I sincerely don’t know how to describe the full extension of this re-work greatness. First of all, it’s a lesson of harmonic mastery, from the synthesizer chords pad variations to the simulated flute notes and the distorted ethereal hi-hats. […]

eighties ladies
April 14, 2008
The Eighties Ladies were a production project of Roy Ayers, and were released on his hard to find disco label Uno Melodic.
I heard of them ass-backwards as usual. I picked up a re-version of one of their tracks, ‘Tell Him’, by West London broken beats team Bugz In The Attic. I played it to death about five years […]

white boy funk
February 19, 2008
After a beery chat about 80s funk with one friend*, and blogspot Stuff White People Like with another, this post was inevitable really…
It’s called white-boy-80s-funk-that-I-really-like…
Heaven 17 - Penthouse & Pavement
*Basilika debuting at a new venue this Wednesday, Favela Chic, so if you are in town, head East and take a left when you hear Prince […]
