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.

THE MIGHTY RYEDERS 'EVIL VIBRATIONS' - SERGE GAMESBOURG REWORK

extended edit i did a while back....

Gil Scott Heron  - The Bottle (Disco Tech edit)

In the middle of 2014, with all roads leading to Brazil, DJ, tastemaker and cultural curator Gilles Peterson embarked on the project of a lifetime, his most ambitious to date: setting up camp in a recording studio in Rio to record a sort of love letter to the nation under the artist name “Sonzeira” (meaning a joyful / killer sound). The resulting album “Brasil Bam Bam Bam” was a deeply personal work, bringing together the many authentic sounds and traditions but always through the eyes of an enthusiast inspired by 30 years of DJIng and record collecting. As Gilles said at the time: ‘Brazil’s music culture is massive..There’s the North – Bahia, Recife, the afro-brazilian sound. There’s batucada, the heavy sambas. Then bossa nova - Tom Jobim and all that history. There’s baile funk. There’s Tropicalia and the more soulful, funky scene championed by groups like Banda Black Rio, Trio Mocoto and icons like Gilberto Gil. Such a huge amount of stuff to fit in. I wanted to try and cover it all – to make a kind of Buena Vista meets club culture, but to keep it sonically very modern.’ The album included star turns from Brazilian superstars young and old, including ‘City of God’ actor and singer Seu Jorge, the grande dame of samba, 76-year-old powerhouse Elza Soares, and world-renowned percussionist Nana Vasconcelos. Of course, this was a Gilles Peterson record and so there was also many left turns -  who else would come up with Emanuelle Araujo’s bossa nova take on the 80s UK jazz-funk hit Southern Freeez, or draft in Seun Kuti (youngest son of Fela) to join the dots between modern day Brazil and the slave ships that bought poly-rhythms from Africa 400 years ago.

Of course, with roots so deep in the interesting edges of club culture it was natural for Gilles to continue this journey into new sonic territories. As such he has spent the last 6 months curating this new album “Brasil Bam Bam Bass” drafting in some of his favourite producers, friends, and associates to reimagine tracks from the album, with all the taste and good judgement you would expect. Much like the original record this is a very personal curation, a considered work that saw Gilles hand pick producers to re-imagine the album track by track - these include At Jazz, FaltyDL, DJ Oil, Kyodai, Max Graef and many more. Also included on this double CD are some wonderful outtakes (including the sublime reworking of Yusef lateef’s Plum Blossom previously only on the vinyl box set of the album), and dubbed out alternative versions of several tracks by Gilles’ Sonzeira co-producer Dillip Harris.          

If the original record was about examining Gilles own history and love for every quarter of Brasil’s sound, this provides a further glimpse into Gilles’ creative mind, ever serching for connections between rhythms; exciting, imaginative and original productions. Most of all this is a record where respect for the source material continues to shine through. 

Que sonzeira! 

Gilles Peterson presents Sonzeira Brasil Bam Bam Bass - The Out Takes and Remakes: Curated with Love will be released on double CD on Brownswood Recordings on the 9th February.

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.

Another addition to this series of edits. I was looping the start of Golden Lady at a gig recently and mixing it with something off Keep Up and it seemed like the right thing to do.

I love this track deeply so I hope you will forgive me chopping it - it is honestly done with love. Nothing could improve the original - I was simply taking it somewhere else for DJing purposes. x

Stevie Wonder - Golden Lady (Scrimshire Edit)

The second volume of Danny Krivit's "Edits By Mr. K" series sees the master editor, DJ, and record collector dipping into his extensive crates to put his magic touch on personal favorites and floor fillers from the golden age of disco and soul.  On "(Do The) Spanish Hustle," Fatback Band's breakout hit from 1976, Krivit leads with the break, slowly building momentum until catharsis comes nearly four minutes into the track.  It's a driving, uptempo track which highlights the beginning of funk's evolution into disco, and a terrific slice of dance floor gold.  Edits By Mr. K Volume 2: Music Of The Earth comes out September 14th on Strut.

Classic Ernie Hines vocal + classic Pete Rock beat.  A little something for the soulful DJs.

Dj Mattew old skool funk soul jazz-funk fusion R&B         16 years djing now      djfunk80/com                                                 Music is a never ending story. It speaks from the heart.

Many DJs in the industry especially younger ones have a superstar attitude, like gods of the turntables, turning each set into a show-off fest of self-importance. Nowadays it’s more about noises from a synthesiser or laptop than actual music. Wherever you go, everyone seems to be pumping out the same kind of computer-generated offering.

A good disc jockey knows his music inside out and isn’t afraid of musical instruments because that’s where real music comes from. He is comfortable with his musical heritage and not afraid to re-invent and rekindle.

I’m Mattew, an upcoming set artist based in Hayes, Middlesex with a love of old-skool vinyl classics. Nevertheless I have taken on the technology of the 21st century so I can bring my creations to your ears and hearts (even if I had to go through two laptops in the process). 

Old techniques, new music…
