So about 11 years ago, I was all over DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing'. Couldn't get enough of it. Had the wax, the CD, mp3's on my phone. Nearly got run over a few times spacing out while listening. My son Liam used to start kicking before he was born, when the bass for 'What Does Your Soul Look Like Pt 4' would kick in. I was playing guitar in a weird funk band at the time, and we'd use samples in the live show. Right about then I got into having a go at making something like I heard from him. Dunno that it does especially, but it doesn't sound like anything else I've released. Anyways, this did have a spoken word thing off of a speech by Alex Haley on his research for the book Roots. But that was several hard drive crashes ago, so that's that. So this is just for. No good reason, just thought someone out there might wanna hear it. Drums and keys done in Reason 1, bass played by me and recorded direct into Cool Edit, samples came from somewhere. Dunno. 

Enjoy. Feel free to share if you want, the music must be heard. If you're digging it, that is. :-D

The Overwhelmed

A cut-up vinyl mix of deep ex-Yu psychedelic gypsy grooves and oriental breaks (1969'-1987')

For the past two years I was obsessively digging up groovy exYu gypsy and oriental music, going through hundreds of records, discovering in fact that this is the original form of Balkan Funk music incorporating all the main afro american funk elements in an authentic and ancient style. The solid hypnotic groove, heavily syncopated rhythms, drum breaks, psychedelia, call and response, jazz and latin alike connections and crazy crazy soloing. Especially found in the Southern Serbia style which I like the most. The trouble is that all of these records are now considered rarities, as the printed volume of the records rarely exceeded 1000 copies.

This mix is basically a testiment of the original, ancient and authentic Funk presence in the Balkans, coming in fact from the gypsy community. I tried to capture the elongated hypnotic funk grooves, first electric accordion and synthesizer experiments in exYu gypsy music and deep deep melancholy ranging from suicidal to extreme merriness.

Italian disco label Samosa Records have been doing a roaring trade of late, and with this new pack from Greece's C. Da Afro the trend looks very much set to continue. Brazilian flavours meet jazz-funk and straight up disco licks across these four infectious cuts.  [Ben Gomori]

I coincidentally played those two tracks at the same time and decided to do a mashup and publish it here. Dedicated to all the people in struggle. Hope I won't get any legal charges from the artists of these two songs. I don't do it for profits.

expect some original dj Lukeni tracks soon!
