I thought it was about time to unleash some free music. So over the next week i'll put up some free tracks to download and this time no Hypeddit (yay). Feel free to spread the tunes around too. This one is a tune i made around the start of the year using a LL Cool J acapella and wrapping some solid beats and instruments around it. Enjoy ! Free WAV too. x :-)

Pecoe - You Don't Stop

The 11th entry into the Heat Rock catalog includes a pair of funky, breakbeat-heavy, Native Tongues family remixes. The A-side features a horn-laden remix from Trew (Altered Tapes / Chicago) that simultaneously flips a Funk and Hip-Hop classic. While on the B-side, Double A (Montreal) takes a Digger's favorite and turns up the drumbreak dial to 15 for a Boombapped version of a Bay Area Funk/Rock deep cut. Doubles are recommended!

The artwork for this series was designed by talented Mike2600 of BRLSQ, and inspired by vintage 7inch factory sleeve designs. The limited edition 45s include custom cover art and colored vinyl. (A black wax version with a different label color scheme will be available mid-August).

Trew - Kamaal & The Gang (Take A Break Remix)

Unlimited Love Night Time Mix TEASER

Nicola Conte - Into The Light Of Love (feat. Myles Sanko)

This Friday I'm playing a set in sync with the setting sun at Vintage festival on the 5th floor of the Southbank Centre. The space includes a balcony overlooking the Thames so I thought it would be apt edit a couple of sweet soul gems for the event. 

I first became aware of Faded Lady through the Dusty Fingers series of albums (collections of original breaks and such like) but then last year BBE put it out on a 7" to help promote the  Strange Games 5 album. Such a sweet track but it's over before it's begun so a little extension seemed in order. 

I can't enable downloads directly on this one seeing as it was a recent release but for those who really want a copy leave a request in the comments.

Enjoy, and hopefully I'll see a few of you at Vintage on Friday - http://www.facebook.com/TheVintageFestival -

SSO Orchestra - Faded Lady (Leftside Wobble Edit)

Brooklyn Funk Essentials - Prepare

"High Output is an inside joke we have from a trip to Manila with our good friends from Do-Over Jamie and Chris.  The project itself is a collaboration between two friends from different horizons but with a same vision.  We’ve been playing together in many different cities around the world and we have a lot of friends in common all over the planet, it was just a matter of time before we’d put out something together, just because we thought it would be fun to do.  Our mix contains unexpected music, rare grooves and unreleased material…and we hope you’ll appreciate the effort and the music we put into this mix.  If you own the 7” as well, you have two previously unreleased productions in your hands and I really hope you got the shirt as well, if not, you’ve been ripped off, haha!" - LEFTO

LEFTO
As one the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer, and af- filiated with labels Brownswood, Blue Note, !K7 Records, Stones Throw and Jazzy Sport, this bearded early riser is consistently a couple steps ahead of your average early adopter. He doesn’t wait for the next thing to land on his lap, actively seeking it out - just take a peek at his playl- ists on Belgium’s foremost national radio station Studio Brussel which received compliments from Rough Trade Shops and Gilles Peterson.

JROCC
One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-’80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles. In addition to numerous mix- tapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib’s live shows since the early 2000’s, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group’s live events, and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla.

Cody Currie & James Durks - One For Ferdi

Keep Bouncing.

Drawing inspiration from decades of Funk, Latin, Jazz and Hip-Hop music, Altered Tapes remixes / re-edits / reworks the classics. Extracting their basic elements and then reconstructing into dance floor bangers.

The production / DJ duo consists of Maker & DJ Trew. Fueled by a passion for crate digging, original breaks, and timeless music, the overall concept of the project is to elevate the art of the remix to unexplored levels. Their creations remain true to the original artists & songs, while at the same time becoming completely new compositions.

Live and direct from the Windy City...
