Skeewiff feat Tiu De Haan - The Spider [Remaster]

Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American R&B, soul and rock and roll singer and songwriter.

A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which hit the US R&B charts, and frequently crossed over to the US Billboard Hot 100. Among his best known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway".The impact of Pickett's songwriting and recording led to his 1991 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Pickett teamed up with established Philadelphia-based hitmakers Gamble and Huff for the 1970 album "Wilson Pickett In Philadelphia", which featured two hit singles, "Engine No.9" and "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You", the latter selling one million copies.

Johnny Kowalski & The Sexy Weirdos - Kill The Beast (Sam Redmore Remix)

How do you plan to stand that summer heat without those refreshing Latin beats?

We at Beatnik City are eternal students of the art of partying and this time have set our scholarly sites on our next destination: the fabulous and sexy 
Latin America-land! Double Ay Carumba!

We hand selected and special blended some of the biggest Summer Latin Bangers.. and now we will share our secret recipe with you!

Pssst…Here it is:

Chop up half a pound of Ursula 1000, Get some fresh Cumbia from Ree Keen’s private stash, sprinkle some Stabfinger Mambo powder over The Captain, heat a tablespoon of DJ Rebel’s Latin Jazz and drizzle it over the turntables of the one and only Andy Taylor. Mix with some of Daytoner’s Mexican soul paste and steal some of Waggles hot chilli (He’s got loads), throw in two drops of Fritz’s Boogaloos then spice it up with some of Mad Doc and Dedy Dread’s funky-ass rhythms and flavour with DJ Clairvo’s straight fire and your Beatnik City powered Summer BBQ is ready to go!

Like a punch drunk paper donkey filled with sweets, we can’t wait to spill our secrets…

Dedy Dread & Dj Rebel - Uhh! Ahh [CLIP]

"Break Before You Bend" is a fierce, unyielding manifesto of resilience forged in the crucible of adversity—a rap-metal anthem that champions raw authenticity over compromise, embracing fracture as the path to unbreakable strength. It's a psychedelic prog-blues roar against the grinding machinery of life, where bending to external pressures is equated with surrender, and true power lies in shattering only to reform sharper, more self-defined.

Break Before You Bend

Out Now On Cold Busted:

1. The Soul Man
2. Break My Back
3. Put The Needle On
4. Sometimes
5. View From
6. The Return Of The Classic

+ 6 more tracks on the full length album

The Return Of The Classic is the return of Greek beat-master Mister T. to the Cold Busted label, and he certainly explores a classic sound. Based in Athens, Greece, Mister T. has long been transmitting the jazzier side of downtempo hip hop, with top notch jams that are soulful, swinging, and undeniably funky. This album is the latest in a string of Mister T. collections on Cold Busted … as prolific as Mister T. is, his quality never falters and the tunes don’t disappoint. The Return Of The Classic contains a multitude of magical dance floor moments, including the bluesy skank of “Break My Back”, the breakdance funk of “Put The Needle On”, the high energy horn section groove of “Elephant”, and the title track’s shuffling big beat and stew of crafty samples. The Return Of The Classic has beats and funk for days, with Mister T. delivering a beloved old school sound to today’s jazzbos. Hold on tight!

Afro Kelenkye Band - Jungle Funk (Tape Edit)

Matasuna Records starts the new year 2020 with a brilliant release, featuring two contemporary tracks by Paris based Afrobeat band Batunga & The Subprimes, available for the first time on vinyl.

Batunga & The Subprimes was founded in Paris in 2009 by musicians from different backgrounds, united by the will to mix traditional African music with other elements (Latin, Jazz, Second Line and even Rock) and to bring this explosive mix on the streets & on stage. After many shows all over Europe and beyond, their first official album Man in the Field was published in 2017, followed by their EP Let dem In in late 2019. Matasuna has chosen two extraordinary cuts of these self-released albums to release them on vinyl for the first time.

Gates Of Ouantou from their EP is a great tune that sets the bar for contemporary Afrobeat and has all the ingredients for a timeless classic: the arrangement, the instrumentation and the interplay of the seven musicians in the song are excellent and will immediately draw you into its spell. A real gem and great tune!

Man in the Field on flipside is a cut of their first official album. Unusual is the use of a banjo in an Afrobeat song but not surprising that this fits in very well and also shows that classical structures can be broken up and developed in a new approach/context. Another great piece of this extraordinary band that has been operating under the radar - until now!

Christopher has been spinning eclectic sets of music in the Bay Area and beyond for the last 20 years. He took on his Jack Frost persona at Burningman circa 1998 when he joined forces with the Antarctica crew to throw parties in a refrigerated 50 ft. semi truck decorated like an ice cave. He has gone on to spin everywhere from hot springs, roller rinks, opium dens, art cars and clubs large and small. He produced the album Tiny Mirrors for The New Up and is always working on mixes and re-edits. Thanks for the support.
