The second release from Dusty Donuts cooks up summer in the winter with two Native Tongues inspired edits. Naughty NMX currently residing in Hamburg via London and Berlin, brings his classic b-boy style to the table on production duties.
 
Side A - Jungle Mango - is a journey into African chants, vintage horns and famous breakbeats. A nod to the days of instinctive rhythms and happy go lucky dance floors. 
Side B - Name And Number - brings the break back to the break by looking to the inspiration of a classic and reconstructing it, making it fresher than the original. Get it? If not, I'll get back to you. 
This is a limited press!

Name And Number to follow next week....

Jungle Mango - Naughty NMX RubUp

When Featurecast & The Gaff got a chance to play together recently, it didn't take long to get to talking about their mutual love for Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" and how the world needed an edit of it, and just like that, a few sleepless nights, some dusty records and a little bit of finesse: "Ain't Got Time" was born! The ultimate Marvin Gaye meets Stevie Wonder track that never existed......So why did a collabo between these two legends never happen? They both recorded for Motown at the same time and were fans of each other!....Here's a little history lesson: 
 "Too busy thinkin bout my baby" was written by the Motown team of Whitfield, Strong, and Bradford in 1965, and first recorded by The Temptations a year later.
Marvin's cover of the tune came out a few years later, and was his 2nd biggest hit of the 60's, right after "Heard It Through The Grapevine" in 1969 at the age of 30...Curious who was in Marvin's heart as he was singin this? If You do the math, it's none other than Tammi Terrel, who he fell deeply in love with as they began working on their tracks ("ain't no mountain high enough) around the same time....Unfortunately, Tammi wasn't into Marvin in that way! She was much younger, early 20's, and apparently favored "darker men", Marvin was a light skinned brother, and perhaps wasn't what caught her eye? Well, that's the breaks, Tammi put on a good show for sure...
Now, Marvin Gaye was 11 years older than Stevie Wonder, who, at the time, was about to breakthrough to his hugely successful crossover lp's at only 19 with "Signed Sealed Delivered"! 
Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" had come out on his album "Down TO Earth" in '66, at only 16, and a dope version was covered later by SoulSister Bettye Lavette, You should check it! Not many know about that cover :-)
So, there was a big age gap, with marvin bringout out songs of soulful love in his 30's, and Stevie bringin the Funk in his 20's!!!
in 1991, almost 25 years after it was released, De La Soul would flip "Hey Love" into "Talkin bout Hey Love" where it was brought back all over again for a new generation of Hip Hop heads around the world (a young skateboarding gaffer and a LIl Featurecast being 2 of them :-) 
25 years after that, we added in the horns from an early Serge Gainsbourg record so this tune would appeal to fans of De La Soul, be enjoyed by Motown lovers, and any fans of DJ's with dope cuts.....Sampled the OG records to provide the instrumental parts used...
We kept this mix so classic, for old and young alike, even your grandma can still appreciate it, nod her head to the fatback drums, dope cuts and scratches....we hope this version makes its rounds for a long time to come, giving you the Marvin & Stevie collaberation that you always wished for.......cheers!

Dance To The Drummer's Beat (Copycat Re-take)

FUNKT Mixtape Jan 2016 mixed with X2 Technics 1210mk2's, Novation Dicers & Akai midi controller. Glitches/FX, live manipulation & scratching all done live in the mix. 

I put another live/raw 10min quick mix together to help promote some of the bar/club gigs i'm doing at the moment & also because a lot of people have been asking for the jams(edits/regrooves)! Here it is, a cheeky sampler of some of the phattest remixed/remastered sounds you can hear around & on the nights! 

Most of the edits & regrooves in the mix done by me KOOL★HERTZ

Featured this on my new Summer Vibes Mix over on our Mixtape channel - https://soundcloud.com/fvuk/dj-xs-london-summer-vibes-mix-2018-part-1-head-noddin

Was looking to get some 90s vibes in on the mix as that era encapsulates the summer feeling more than most in my mind and as always wanted to add a few exclusives so ended up putting together this badboy full of 90s throwback warmth.

Obviously working over Andrew Weatherall's 90s anthem 'Loaded' as well as some vocals from the Jungle Brothers with a nod to the Urban Takeover version released back in '98.

Up for the Free DL for my Soundcloud peeps for a short time only so grab it whilst you can!
