First and foremost Rebecca Vasmant has a deep obsession with music and sound and from a young age has always been interested in how sound works. This obsession has lead onto becoming one of the most cutting edge DJs around playing all genres of music within sets. Techno, House, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco and world music are all predominant in her sets, bringing her love of both electronic and live music onto the dance floor. Known for being credible and unique, Rebecca has made a huge blast onto the scene. Having headlined in over twenty two countries worldwide, she is fast becoming an established name within the industry. Brazil, Nicaragua, Africa, India, Dubai, Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Spain, Bosnia, Istanbul, Latvia, and Austria already under her belt and with Mexico and Brazil to come, being resident for Cabret Volataire Edinburgh and having played at places like We Love Space Ibiza, Zoo Project Ibiza, Back To Basics Leeds, We Love Sankeys Manchester, The Arches Glasgow, Sub Club Glasgow, Buff Club and Saundhaus Glasgow, Snafu Aberdeen, Rockness festival, The wickerman festival, The Tunnel Aberdeen, Cabret Volataire Edinburgh, Bongo Club, GRV and the Caves Edinburgh, Soulist Soundsystem Paris, Turnmills London, Ministry Of Sound London, East Village Shoredich, Public Life London and Pacha London, Also having headlined the Warehouse Bristol alongside Tommy Four Seven and Tania Von Pear, Open Air Festival in Milan quarterly and the Arches with Sebastian Leger, and not to forget her regular warehouse parties in her hometown of Glasgow her name is ever rising in the Electronic Music Scene. Playing along sides the likes of Dave Clarke, Tom Middleton, Greg Wilson, DJ Format, X-press 2, SLAM, Green Velvet, DJ Pierre, Silicon Soul, Funk D Void, Billy Nasty, Justin Robertson, Terry Farley, Tommy Four Seven, Chris Leibing, Edit Select, Erol Alkin, Mylo, Riva Starr, Jo Mills, Dj Falcon, Milton Jackson, 6th Borough Project, Underground Paris, Fabio Monesi, Cottam, Red Rack Em, Paul Oakenfold, Joey Negro, Shit Robot, Tania Von Pear, Luciano, Hans Bouffmyre, Larry Tee and of course Harri and Domenic of Glasgow to name a few and fronting a monthly residency in Glasgow alongside James Johnston, Rebecca is also set to line up alongside many more... As a Producer Rebecca has had releases on labels such as Universal Music, Amour recordings and various others and is currently working on a first album due to drop late 2013, as well as collaborating with some of the best names in the underground house and techno scene as well as working on various live Jazz projects under her second alias which will see her name grow even further. Rebecca will be launching her own label in 2014 which will see the collaboration of various Jazz artists, musicians and electronic musicians working together to create a fusion project pushing music to the forefront of scenes which less contemporary styles of this music would perhaps not normally be seen within. On top of all of this Rebecca hosts a monthly party in her hometown of Glasgow alongside James Johnston (No Matter What Records) which has seen names such as Tom Middleton, Jeremy Underground (My Love Is Undergound), Terry Farley, Fabio Monesi (Wilson Records), Milton Jackson, Cottam and 6th Borough Project, with names such as Rick Wade, Terrance Parker, Kez Ym and many more to come Rebecca also promotes a bi monthly record fair at the Sub Club in Glasgow which sees many labels and vendors trading records, allowing people to come together for a day to appreciate music and support record sales. Labels such as Jazzman Records, Soma Records, Starla Records and many independent vendors trading Jazz, Funk, Latin, Classic Disco, Nothern Soul, World Music and many more regularly trade at the event as well as live art and music on the day.

The Desert is a Circle

As much as I love the film and keep coming back to it I thought The Nice Guys' soundtrack was a real missed opportunity. Why go to the trouble of issuing a deluxe double vinyl collectors edition when the music on it can be found on the most basic ‘Hits of the 70s’-style compilation? I love “Papa was a Rolling Stone” and “September” as much as anyone but they’ve been comped to death at this point. 

Also found it weird that a film that's so specifically set in 1977 (the date's the first thing you see onscreen) features tracks like Boogie Wonderland and The Pina Colada Song when they both came out in 1979. Even worse, the party scene features Kool & the Gang’s “Get Down On It” -which came out in 1981.  It doesn't even sound like a production from '77!

Anyway here's my take on an alternative OST and stuff:

Tracklist
Etta James - All The Way Down (1973)
Salsoul Orchestra - Nice 'n' Naasty (Edit) (1976)
Yvonne Fair - Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On (1975)
C.C.P.P. - Prancai (Edit) (1975)

Lee Michaels - Who Could Want More (1969)
Patrice Rushen - Hang it Up (Edit) (1978)
Gladys Knight & the Pips - We Don't Look For Trouble (1975)
Mike Moran - The Pick-Up (1976)
Robert Jay - Alcohol Pt 1 (1973)
Ike & Tina Tuner - Bold Soul Sister (1970)
Atlantis - He's Got a Gun (1976)
The Choice Four - Get Down to Earth (Instrumental Edit) (1977)
Eloise Law - Love Goes Deeper Than That (1977)
Burton Inc. - LA Will Make You Pay (1977)
Joe Bataan - Sadie (1976)
Etta James - Jump Into Love (1973?)
Booty's Rubber Band - The Pinnochio Theory (1977)

Rhodes Less Travelled

Not an edit or a remix, just posted as a tribute to one of the greats.

Taken from a 1973 live set by “The Donald Byrd Seven", the lineup features the founding members of The Blackbyrds: Kevin Toney (piano), Keith Kilgo (drums), Ray Armando (conga), Bernard Perry (guitar) and Alan Barnes (saxophone, flute).


Donald Byrd and The Blackbyrds - Flight Time (Live in Boston 1973)

L.O.V.E - Nat King Cole

Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting more disillusioned with SoundCloud with every change they make. The new algorithm and its 'recommendations' ignore mixes and any tracks over 10 mins, they've removed the New & Hot charts and replaced them with irrelevant crap like "Events near you", and this new UI has me searching for a way to revert it.
