Be Your Girl (Kaytranada Edition)

No introduction needed for this soul train classic by Kool and The Gang. I have been messing with it for some time now trying to make a modern DJ friendly version and thought it would be nice to share. Initially I made the sorter 'hip cut' for me to play and mashup crossing over from soul and hip hop to disco but then I realized I could not do without the magical ARP synth solo so thus the 'extended version'. It took a while to tame and make it work and now here it is. Enjoy this fine piece of music and Merry Xmas peepz !

Neo-Soul, Jazz & Hip Hop - The Sounds of D'ANGELO Mixtape by SOUL OF SYDNEY | SOS #196

In 1997, Jay Dee was the still new kid on the block. With the success of singles like Runnin' (Pharcyde), and Stakes is High, he had his own undeniable sound, but the majors still weren't sold.
This is proof of that.  
Jay was solicited by a lot of majors to do remixes for artists on their rosters. Time and time again, they would go with someone else. 
The joints he was coming up with were fucking nuts, but to no avail. In one case, he was led to believe that one of his mixes got thru, only to see another producers remix when the 12" showed up at Record Time. 
I told him fuck it I wanna put it out.
I had never put a record out.
Got an investor. 
Then I made a phone call.
Chris Manak, aka Peanut Butter Wolf, was my rep at TRC distribution in California. I was working at Street Corner Music ordering records from him every week. I got the #'s 
from him. Sent the masters over and we had a record.
The first pressing was on blue vinyl. Limited to 1500 copies. 
Gone.
Second press was on green vinyl.
Gone.
I also learned to listen to test presses on multiple turntables.
There was a skip in the middle of the fucking Woo Hah rmx that did NOT SKIP on my 1200. Swear to god I had the onlt 12 that could play that shit. It skipped on EVERY other 1200 turntable in the world. Fucked up. Check your test pressings on a few setups. But, that's fixed now. These records go for $100 plus on the internets these days. 
Remastered by Dave Cooley directly from a sealed blue copy.
Why? Because the plates broke at the plant, and I lost the master in a flood 3 years later. That's why.


Enjoy the Gift...

06 Me & Those Dreamin Eyes (Remix)  D'Angelo

My biggest struggle as a producer has always been trying to accurately capture the concept / ideas that I hear in my head.
Learning more and more about orchestral arrangements and programming in a DAW sense, has allowed me to ever get closer. 
I decided to rearrange this piece as I have always felt that years ago when I had originally composed this, I lacked the musical maturity, technical expertise (mastering / mixing) or virtual instruments to capture accurately what I was hearing in my head. 

Thanks for 10 million plays and a free download. 

New music coming soon.

Airplane Mode was premiered by The Fader: http://www.thefader.com/2015/07/21/soulection-sasha-marie-airplane-mode

Airplane Mode is what you want to listen to when you feel the need to disconnect and focus on self. Music inspires me; it gives me the ability to create, to dream, to focus and to relax. I like to get lost in the music I love without interruption from everything else that is going on. I've compiled a list of songs that do that for me and I've mixed them together. This mix is for the artist, the musician, the student, the traveler and anyone else who just wants to get away for a moment.

Lyrics : 
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby

Cause that’s where you are love
your the one I want
and I’m missing you missing you
I had to do my own thing but I should be there with you
kissing you kissing you yeah

I know that you miss me and you say you need me
but you know that work is calling I need to go
distance makes the heart grow fonder and its so true
can’t wait to go
home to you

I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby
I just wanna fly back to Cali
California baby

I visualize palm trees blue skies 
warm days long nights my man by my side 
instead I don't know why there's no sun up in the sky 
stormy weather 
since my man and I aren't together 
For real down south
It's been the coldest winter out
My heads even filling with doubt
If you've been loyal to me now
Wondering if 
I dropped all the work that I've stacked up 
And I hopped on to a plane thinking il warm up
But it's more than just a time difference 
Wondering can we go the distance ?
And when we connect again
will we still feel same?
Remember Last time
When you brought the sun rays
As I take off in the sky
Hoping that I don't bring the rain
this time
