Manu Dibango loved this version of his track too.

I love that Manu Dibango got to hear and enjoy your masterpiece, of his masterpiece, before his passing. Blessing of Great Health & success.

You took the disco hi-hat pattern out & put that B-Boy Funk Break in, for extra punch....

I saw Fela in Downtown Los Angeles in 1986. This mix is possibly the only piece of music that strikes me of being similar. Shukran.

I saw Manu Dibango in Santa Monica, Ca in 1988 or '89. Great live show.

Massive improvement over the so-called original, from 1972.

One of my favorite track of that hero of african music! I added a breakbeat and boosted the bass line because i wanted to play this supa-groovy track in the clubs! I used to burn the dance floor when i played this remix at " IN FUNK WE TRUST ". Once i played at  "COMEDY CLUB" during a party and Manu Dibango was there. He came to me and  congratulated me when i told i was the one who made that remix . I precised him i had no intentions to release it without permissions, i remixed it just because i could not play it the way it was mixed originally. He said he loved cause it's funky. So enjoy it, and share it and don't be afraid to comment.

Nina Simone - See-Line Woman (MAW Remix)

Dear community, BGirls, BBoys and followers all over the world.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to greet you warmly and have great news for you!
 
I've wanted to release my new album for a long time, but numerous other projects have taken a lot of my time. Now the “new album” project is in the final phase. And what should I say? Because of my hard work, the bubbling wealth of strange sound ideas, and the incredible help and support of my dearest friends and family, the “new album” project has become a three-part project.
 
Album "The Vault" - release date on May 5th, 2024, 22 x songs
 
Album "The Golden" - release date approximately June 5th, 2024, 22 x songs
 
Album "The Funky Wheelbarrow" - release date approximately August 4th, 2024, 10 x songs (pure rare groove, funky breaks and live performance funk)
 
I would especially like to thank my family, the chaotic people on the turntables and my best buddy and DJ friend Daniel aka Sam Spade for your help, support, trust and love.
 
I have taken another leap in development, absorbed constructive criticism and created a musical milestone for you with my heart and love for breaking culture. Even if the German break DJ scene doesn't really stick together, at least it's the individual contributions that keep the community alive. Unfortunately, so many break DJs still adorn themselves with other people's feathers, because "Digging in the Crates", if anything, is unfortunately not everything.
 
The next three albums are musically filled with real rockets, you have to have that much self-confidence, and many songs have already been tested in international battles. The cross-genre variety of sounds and the detailed wealth of ideas in every single song should bring you a lot of fun breaking and listening. Just have fun with it!
 
I wish you all lots of love and, above all, peace!
 
Rock on!

I Need Help (Serge Gamesbourg  'No Omega'  Rework)

One of James Brown's Soul Sisters. According to Mr. Brown's autobiography, Vicki Anderson was the best female singer he had in his revue. She Joined Brown in 1965 replacing Anna King and she held her position there until she was replaced by Marva Whitney 3 years after in 1968. But she re-joined after Marva departed in 1969 for further three years until Lyn Collins took over. She disapeared after she left Brown for a while and resurfaced in 1975 with a single, featuring a cover of Rufus & Chaka Khan Hit Once You Get Started and Bobby Womack's Stop On By on Browns I-Dentify label, but this single failed to do any damage, and after this, Vicki never showed any signs to do studio work but she was regulary appearing in James Brown Funky People revue in the late 80s, and again with Bobby Byrd in the early 90s.

Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band "8th Wonder" - Boiler Room Debuts

It’s difficult to describe the feeling when you know you’ve heard something that eclipses the mighty Mr Bird & Greg Blackman’s Ramrock Blue modern soul 12” classic ‘Over Again’ featuring the now legendary Tom Moulton remix. But many of you are going to experience that feeling and your feedback is going to reflect that moment when that single musical droplet of universal joyful harmony hits your hippocampus and you dissolve with happiness. 

There are three versions of ‘Where Did The Party Go’ -  on the A side is the funky Lo-Fi Classics original, taken from the album of the same name, produced & co-written by Steven Bird and delivered with gritty, Muscle Shoals confidence by Greg Blackman.  This version garnered mass plaudits from the soul cognoscenti – both DJs and radio presenters alike - on its first outing on the BBE label in July 2014.  Flipping the vinyl over, Ashley Beedle, Jo Wallace and Darren Morris deliver the two North Street remixes; the BPM has been dropped and as the 90’s RnB/steppers vibe kicks in, Mr Morris’s keyboards underpin the majesty of Greg Blackman’s vocal delivery – utterly sublime. No wonder Mi-Soul are already championing the ‘North Street’ Remix as their Record of The Week w/c March 13th 2017.  On the final version, Greg’s vocals are laid bare on The ‘Stripped Back’ remix - your soul will soar and you’ll remember the moment for a long time – savour it.

Renegades Of Jazz "Moyo Wangu feat. Hugo Kant (Bosq Remix) [SNIPPET]

This vinyl enthusiast discloses his « Universal Mix » in Europe and those who met him still remember him.
More than a simple DJ, Freddy Jay is a jack of all trades.
Author, composer and sometimes singer, he above all became famous to the audience behind his turntables. A micro always easy to reach, full of energy he scratches his electro black LP to brilliantly marry them to funk and disco. He remixes under our stunned eyes soul standards into house music, hip hop or broken beat with an unashamed flowing style. 
His perfect technique, his charisma and naturally his musical selection allowed him to perform beside the biggest: Eric Morillo, Bob Sinclar, Laurent Wolf or Kenny Dope Gonzales and in prestigious French venues such as the Queen, the Élysée Montmartre, the Étoile, Bercy etc…
Freddy Jay released his 1st solo album in 2003 and the famous RADIO NOVA made an underground hit of, “I wanna dance”, giving to the only song he’s singing a special rank in its playlist.
Prestigious brands requested him as much for his DJ talents as for his composer abilities…
DOCKERS or REEF clothing brands, cable CUISINE TV (Cooking TV), or DESPERADOS beer brand will also need his composer talents. He created as well the advertising soundtrack of “La Carte illimitée” (unlimited mobile card) heard before the film in all UGC cinemas…
His collaboration with DESPERADOS together with his friends from the artists’ collective “9ème concept” continues since 10 years now.
The SOLIDAYS Festival, the F.I.S.E., the MIX’N FLY, the FABULOUS TOURNAMENT, the O’NEIL SURF CONTEST of Anglet or the SFR TOUR are such events linked to sliding sports or to music that trusted him.
He was the one who opens for the soul-jazz diva Marlena Shaw at the Paris New Morning and was chosen to delight the ears of the legendary Stevie Wonder during his after show at the Paris Comedy Club.
He remains since five year resident of the leading Parisian parties “CAR WASH” and “IN FUNK WE TRUST” and organizes since a little time his own parties at the Jamel Debbouze Comedy Club he’s also resident of.
The word of mouth and internet videos allows him to be known by foreign organizers. He was then invited to perform in Iceland, Guyana, Austria, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Portugal, etc…
With a wealth of these stage experiences, Freddy Jay is undeniably more than a simple DJ.
He’s first and foremost a charismatic man with rich and eclectic musical culture, a musical gold-digger of any kind, a turntable virtuoso and above all a formidable showman.
But above all these talents, it’s definitively his love for the audience and the stage that indisputably made out of him one of the best of France.
