Me and Paul Noble did this mix shortly after the original came out. It was originally released - very briefly - on Disco Sucks about 6 years ago. Greg Wilson started playing it some time after it had been released and we started getting requests for it. Now's the chance to fill your boots.

Stevie Wonder produced disco soul in the shape of Gary Byrd and the GB Experience's The Crown with the classic drawl of ODB's Got Your Money. hands in the air stuff. Props to Shomy Woodman for reminding how good the Gary Byrd track is when you ignore the rather odd rapping...

Wax Poetics is proud to stream the Decoders' cover of the Rotary Connection joint, "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," which was produced by the great Charles Stepney. The track features our homies Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa.

Purchase the track on <a href="http://thedecoders.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-the-black-gold-of-the-sun">Bandcamp.</a>

Riding on the heels of their first single off of <i>Vol. 2 (Walk On By)</i> with its orchestral soul arrangements, the second single from <i>Vol. 2</i>, Rotary Connection's "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," is an ode to the beautifully epic orchestral arrangements of producer Charles Stepney.

But this time, the Decoders have decided to venture into the Brazilian repertoire, incorporating Samba and Jazz elements into the group's psychedelic soul arrangement.

This version features <a href="http://soundcloud.com/wax-poetics/sets/venice-dawn-something-about/">Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn</a> vocalists Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa on vocals, as well as Jungle Fire's Steve Haney on percussion and Brazilian musician Quetzal Guerrero on percussion and berimbau.

The artwork for the single is an original painting by Los Angeles–based artist Michelle Robinson. Michelle's work has been praised by Cee-Lo Green, among others. For more info, check out her <a href="http://www.michellizm.com/">website</a>.

The Decoders "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun"

The Main Ingredient ‘Happiness Is Just Around The Bend’ (greg wilson edit)

120 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2010.

Originally released way back in 1974, The Main Ingredient’s ‘Happiness Is Just Around The Bend’ is one of those tracks which commands cult status with black music aficionados. It doesn’t sound quite line anything else, Cuba Gooding’s unusual, somewhat esoteric lead vocal setting it apart.

It’s such a positive message, especially at times like this, with the recession beginning bite ever harder. It’s an up track, but not in an obvious way.

This edit first appeared on the Ruff Edits #5 12” under the title ‘Get Up, Get It On’ in 2010. The original version has a really atmospheric intro, running for half a minute before the groove kicks in, and, although I love this purely from a listening perspective, it’s not what, by today’s measure, you’d call DJ friendly, so, the first consideration for the edit was to create a longer intro groove for mixing purposes, before extending the overall track by 3 minutes, squeezing out further goodness.
