One funky pop track from N.Y today : a special 12" version from August Darnell, the talented producer / singer behind many projects on the infamous ZE records. I recommend too the ZEvolution compilation with a stunning casting of editers : Greg Wilson, Pilooski, Social Disco Club, Todd Terje, Rug'n'Tub, Richard Sen, Idjut Boys or Leo Zero...
Another mix from my "local guys". Julien Dorst deliver a good strong house mix, minimal but groovy. He did a remix with Triplecat on the Rebotini's remix comp' that is cool & you can find here a track they produce together, nice shot guys ! Check them Sound cloud account, it's here. Keep on dudes !
This one is for the vinyl freaks. Please, check this awesome track but don't even dream of finding the original 7" ! Fortunatelly Superfriends records repress it with a a track by Les Parisiennes on the b-side. Limited quantities so be (very) quick, future sought after... Big support by Gilles Peterson who played it as first record of his first 2010 radio show ! Stay tuned cause they gonna release other stuff soon (think disco and tropical...) and I'll probably do a post for each.
I can't say I knew well The Cure's discography but I found the Boys don't cry 12" (with a special extended version...) in a second hand for almost nothing. The good surprise was on the b-side : a funky track with a punk funk / disco not disco feeling ! Quite unusual for them. So, let's dance now !
My men Alex is really a special person : he loves films with sharks above all, he's the king of bbq and he's learning how to become the best dad in the world... I was asking him a mix for weeks but he had to succeed his girlfriend's "quality control" unless the mix arrive in my box ! So, he did it and show us that you can mix together boom bap hip hop with a Cologne's flavour. Enjoy
