March

I got the opportunity to officially remix this classic song to coincide with the release of a new Donny Hathaway box set. I was given the original multitrack master of the studio version (different from the live version)and it consisted of 8 different instrument and vocal tracks (as opposed to the more usual 24 tracks) 
When I take on a remix, my first goal is to make it work on a current dance floor. I like to stay very close to the originally recorded sound and In most case there's plenty to be reworked on the multitrack master to achieve this. 
This case proved a little different as there were few rhythm elements I could use to fit within current standards of club loudness levels. So I decided to take a slightly different approach, and add a new set of (acoustic) drums,  to bend the original Soul vibe a little towards Disco territory. 
This remix is exclusive to my soundcloud page and free to download as a 16bit WAV file

Release: 4. March 2016

Philipp Stoya is back on Compost Black with a bunch of fantastic tunes, a hypnotic trip with deep analogue playfulness and elegance.

It's a story of dedication, devotion and a whole lot of craziness.
The debut E.P of Philipp Stoya, who might be recognized from his appearances on some Various Artists – 12“s on Compost Black Label, is a testimonial of love, his love to his wife, whose name is the EP’s title, his love to music in general, giving birth to this record and his love to electric pianos and synths, such as the Fender Rhodes and the Roland Juno 106, which sounds give the tracks on the record an unique flair and atmosphere.

His remix for Madpac’s „Angry Nerds“ is sheer bliss and also part of the „Michael Reinboth Favorites“ on the COMPOST 500 compilation.

James Brown - Papa Don't Take No Mess (Lego DUB)

Emorold Anthony Phillip was born on the 7th of July 1941 in a little place called Cherry Hill in Grenada. He came to Trinidad at the age of five, on a Carnival Monday. Philip lived at Long Circular Road, Bel Vue in the capital city of Port of Spain. He attend the Mucurapo Boys RC primary school and later spent one term / semester at a private secondary school before his father died and he was unable to continue paying the tuition.

Phillip would pass through a number of odd jobs before settling on a career as a calypsonian. From a short stint at a Printery on Marine Square, to an electrician, then a mechanic and most telling a tailor, for it is here he was exposed once more to the calypso music his father had weaned him on, the tailors always having their radios on in the background while they worked on their profession. He started his illustrious career in a Calypso tent by the name of the 'Big Bamboo', which was on Park Street in Port of Spain. The Calypso tent was for guys who couldn't get into the big tents The Calypsonians who performed then, were 'Skipper', 'Creator' ,'Lord Inventor', 'Conqueror', and 'Young Creole', some of the top Calypsonians. This was in 1961 and his name then, was not 'Valentino' but 'Robin'.

The Robin would get his new name in December of 1965 when after an audition at Kitchener’s Revue Calypso tent, he announced to the gathering that he had no name, another calypsoninan having appropriated the name Robin earlier that year. Thus it was the great Lord Kitchener who bestowed the name Lord Valentino on Phillip. Later in the 1970’s during the revolutionary days of the Black Power movement, he would change his name to Brother Valentino. It was during this period too that fellow calypso stalwart, five time national monarch, the Black Stalin would give him the title ‘the People’s Calypsonian’.

Though only three times a national monarch finalist (and never winning the coveted crown) he would become the true spokesman for the people , the true opposition, the voice of conscience. His hits over the years include the immortal Life is a stage (1972), Barking Dogs (1974), Dis place Nice (1975), the best selling ‘Stay up Zimbabwe’ (1979), Birds that fly high (1982, Time and Space (1986),) Calypso in Trouble (1992) Time to love again (1996), The Radio (2001) and Where Kaiso went (2004) Valentino, now a veteran among calypso bards, is enjoying his second marriage, this time to former national netball played Peggy Castanada. He continues to be a role model for the new generation of younger singers who see him as the epitome of social consciousness, a direct descendant of the great chantwells of yesteryear – Executor, Atilla, Tiger and the beat goes on & on & on.

Sivuca - Ain't No Sunshine (X - Ray Tedit)

This one features my live band, The County: Quentin Joseph on drums, Topher Mohr on guitar, Quincy McCrary on piano, and Joe Abrams on bass. It was recorded live in a radio station studio somewhere during our Winter 2010 US tour. The tapes recently surfaced, but nobody can remember exactly where we were. The song is originally by The Isley Brothers, and that’s the only version I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”.

Work To Do

Carrie Lucas - Dance With You (Funk Hunk Re-Edit )

Everyone seems to be back into a bit of sax these days and lets face it, if you're pimping the sax, you gotta be pimping Maceo.

Couple of guaranteed party starters from Maceo, Fred Wesley & the gang. Actually managed to get this down from around 15 minutes at one point; been working for me on many a dancefloor for a few years now and thought it was time to share it with you lovely people.

11 minutes of funky fun - no super rare 1920s Peruvian trip hop on this one, just a couple of solid-well known party starters funked to the max by some of the greats of our time!

Also works well btw if you need a toilet break during a set!
