Sons Of Kemet - Inner Babylon

Makoto - Primitive

One of my favorite track of that hero of african music! I added a breakbeat and boosted the bass line because i wanted to play this supa-groovy track in the clubs! I used to burn the dance floor when i played this remix at " IN FUNK WE TRUST ". Once i played at  "COMEDY CLUB" during a party and Manu Dibango was there. He came to me and  congratulated me when i told i was the one who made that remix . I precised him i had no intentions to release it without permissions, i remixed it just because i could not play it the way it was mixed originally. He said he loved cause it's funky. So enjoy it, and share it and don't be afraid to comment.

Originally released on EMI Sweden, original copies of this album still change hands in excess of $400 to $500.

This was Doris’ jazz album though it contains more than a hint of Joni Mitchell, Led Zepellin and the like. Backed by her husband Lukas Lindholm on bass she was able to lay down some seriously funky bass lines on tracks like Don't and Beatmaker. On You Never Come Closer, an experimental track that was way ahead of its time, Janne Carlsson unleashes a fearsome sound on drums helped by Bernot Egerladh on organ. For her part, Doris’ crazy lyrical juxtapositions made tracks like Bath sound drug inspired.

Luis Gasca’s “Spanish Gypsy,” a jazzy/funky/salsa-ish hippie track. it sounds just like War…except with more highly-developed musicianship. it originally comes from, Gasca’s 1972 release For "Those Who Chant".

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.

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>.
