Mac Tommy Set 3

Version remix et extended de cette bombe de 1980.

Diana Ross - My old piano (Mastercue Remix)

Chandra Simon-Never Gonna Let You Go

Following on from their single successes with 'Rise Brother Rise' & 'If Its War (You're Looking For)' Soulnaturals hit the nations airwaves once again with their latest soul pop offering 'Sunbeams'. In a bid to appease the gods of British summer, they deliver a charming, infectious sunshine groove guaranteed to make your retro radio sets sparkle. Even if it rains, this will sweeten your dark skies.

The song features Zimbabwean born singer Chantelle Nandi who is one of the freshest and most soulful artists to come out of the UK.  Nandi has recently performed at world renowned festivals and TV shows such as Lovebox, Glastonbury, Molde Jazz Festival and Later with Jools Holland alongside Maverick Sabre.  2013 will see her release her own material as she continues to utilise her versatile repertoire to take the music scene by storm.

What you can expect from ‘Sunbeams’ is a blend of sanguine harmonies that create a warm, summery energy, which lets you know summer has arrived….

Going Back To My Roots (Slow Hands Edit)

Circa 1992 Yo Yo Honey produced a peachy bit of contemporary soul by releasing their Voodoo Soul album which, after some rave reviews, they duly disappeared off the face of the earth. So, here's my lil' homage to them...wherever they are......

Groove On (Blazing Encore 2 Stepper Re-Work) Yo Yo Honey

Not so much a rare track but one that went under the radar and passed a few Angie devotee's by. This got tucked away on the OST of a film called 'Bamboozled' (yes, that oscar winning worldwide blockbuster) back in 2000. Anyways, I thought I'd dig it out and give the little gem a re-vibe. Hope you like... 

Slippery Shoes (Blazing Encore's Sunday Groovin' Re-Work) - Angie Stone

A soulful house version of Jill Scotts classic gem.  MESSAGE ME FOR WAV FILE.
Comments and even though it says 'final', suggestions still welcome !

JIll Scott - He Loves Me (Qalvrs Lost Love Remix) 320kbps (FINAL Unmastered)

The great Al Green. A lot of folks don't get passed his 'Greatest Hits' probably because the Rev gets a bit too....errr....well,'reverendish'. Now I'm not your go to church every Sunday type of fella but think this track is an exception and somewhat overlooked. As the old saying goes 'the message is in the music' and believe the world is a far better place for tunes like this.

Made some extended edits in here trying to keep the gospel feel and gave the track a re-rub. Hope you like...

BTW if you are going to download, a quick comment or fav would be much appreciated - every little helps :)

Keep On Pushing Love (Blazing Encore's Born Again Re-Groove) - Al Green

errrr.... if you're looking for a bangin' club tune you are best advised to hit the back button now!

I have been working on a couple of uptempo tracks recently but coming home after a hard days grind they just weren't quite coming together. Something I have learnt in the short space of time I have been doing this is that if you ain't feeling it, don't force it. Put it on the back burner for another day and go and do something completely different. So, I went and scraped together a few bits and pieces with the intention of knocking out a little 3 minute melody..............and ended up doing a 9 minute musical odyssey.......like you do!

This is a bit different and am very hesitant about putting it out there but thought what the hell. This world holds two very strange, mystical powers of persuasion. One is a good looking woman, the other is a downing a beer to many. I suspect it was the latter that twisted my arm!

Back to some beats.

(btw, if anyone wants MP3's of my tracks just drop me a line)

Reel People feat. Dyanna Fearon - Butterflies (The Layabouts Vocal Mix)

Do you have records that you have totally forgotten about....or is it just me getting old and senile?

Top man Richard Marzetti played this on his Solar radio show a few weeks back (check him out 6 - 8 Thursday nights for great modern soul and jazz funk classics , plug ,plug... I only take cash Richard).

I remembered I bought a Ralph Tee Soul Source compilation back in about 94/95 solely for this track and it probably hasn't seen the light of day for the last 10 years!!

Not a bad record for a bunch of blue eyed Aussies and here's my take on it.

As always if you take a download a fav or a comment would be much appreciated :))

Love's Gonna Bring You Home (Blazing Encore's Twilight Re-Groove) - Rockmelons ft Doug Williams

Thanks so much everyone for the feedback!

The Commodores - Machine Gun (Belabouche Edit)

Heard the original of this on the radio the other week and the ol' soulmiester Soulman21 posted it here on his SC page (so must be good).

Just a little re-touch of Johnny Britt's (who is one half of Impromp2) little 'Marvinesque' groove.

I have beefed it up slightly and smuggled in a few bits of the great man himself.

Hope you like :))

If you take a dl a lil' comment or a fav' would be much appreciated. Thanks :))

Feels So Good (Blazing Encore's Right On Re-Vibe) - Johnny Britt

If daisy's could sing then after 18 years Camelle's little number still sounds as fresh as.

Usual stuff.....new intro, stretched it out and given it a fairly gentle re-vibe.

Hope you like.

If you do take it as you please and take a download then a comment or a fav' is very much appreciated :))

Cheers.

Sausalito Calling - (Blazing Encore's Take It As You Please Re-Groove) - Camelle Hinds

A freshened up and extended re-work of Robbie Danzie's 1998 feel good track.

I could only get my hands on a 128k version of the original track so the quality isn't too brill I'm afraid .....Ok...that's just a pants excuse for my crap mastering!

....but thanks to all the guys who took time out to hunt around for a better copy for me.

As per, a fav' or comment would be very much appreciated if you take a download.

Thanks :) 

Summer - (Blazing Encore's Pool Party Re-Groove) - Robbie Danzie
