i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

"Habibi Funk 002 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

Break-up tune I wrote in 2009.  I like the beach images, which I took from visits to Nahant and Revere Beaches in Massachusetts.

Blue Line Train

During long, dreamy night drives with my parents in Illinois and Indiana, I would often hear music in my head as a boy.  This song came with a vivid and emotional memory, which is a good place to start writing.

Lyrics:
I’m not sure the way it really started
It just may have been the way you move
It didn’t hurt that I was broken-hearted
But I was gone when I laid eyes on you

You never knew you tore the armor from my heart
Well, now you have to see it through

I’ve got a crazy crush on you
We’re going down together
Together

And I don’t care for your resistance
I’m gonna take you down with me
The other girls will learn to keep their distance
And you will learn it hurts to run from me

There’s nothing I won’t do and nothing I won’t say
So don’t you even try to run away

I’ve got a crazy crush on you
We’re gonna have to see it through
I’ve got a crazy crush on you
We’re going down together
Together

Crazy Crush (featuring Jocelyn Scofield)

Written on a visit to visit my dear friend Jonathan in Pittsburgh in 2008.  Was going thorough a rough break up.  I like the self-revealing vulnerability of the chorus.
