No introduction needed for this soul train classic by Kool and The Gang. I have been messing with it for some time now trying to make a modern DJ friendly version and thought it would be nice to share. Initially I made the sorter 'hip cut' for me to play and mashup crossing over from soul and hip hop to disco but then I realized I could not do without the magical ARP synth solo so thus the 'extended version'. It took a while to tame and make it work and now here it is. Enjoy this fine piece of music and Merry Xmas peepz !

The city’s feeling shaken
Since they whisked that girl away
Won’t say where she’s been taken
Can’t wait another day

We’re done with keeping quiet
We take the streets and sing our song
They’re saying it’s a riot
But we’ve done nothing wrong

This used to be – the land of the free
Now when I speak– they point a gun at me

Policeman don’t shoot
Please man put that pistol away

Got jackboots and black gloves
They’re dressed up for a fight
We showed them peace and love, 
and they need to show their might

They’re coming with their riot clubs
Wanna put us in a cage
We hold our flimsy signs up
Won’t protect us from their rage

This used to be – the home of the brave
Now the police – forgot who to save

Policeman don’t shoot
Please man put that pistol away

Cosmic Slop (Moodymann Mix) Funkadelic

To commemorate the passing of the great jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd today, I'd like to share my edit, originally released on the Editions Disco label, of one of my favorite songs of his - the jazz-funk and breakbeat classic "Think Twice".  Produced by the incomparable Mizell Brothers, it was sampled (and provided the basis) for three straight-up classic records: A Tribe Called Quest's "Footprints", Main Source's "Looking At The Front Door", and Armand Van Helden's house masterpiece "Flowers".

Byrd's records were a gateway for many of us who got into the nascent jazz-funk, rare groove and breakbeat scenes of the 1990s as DJs and collectors.  But his 1970s albums for Blue Note like Street Lady, Places & Spaces, as well as those of his protégés the Blackbyrds, were not just a rich trove of hip-hop samples for the eager beat-digger - they contained great songs that helped us to appreciate jazz as a popular art-form that was still engaged with contemporary soul, funk and R&B music, and encouraged investigating its infinite musical dimensions further.  He was, and is, tremendously important to my development as a DJ and lover of music.  We've lost a giant today.  RIP.
