9DW - SEV - (Ray Mang Remix)

As summer starts edging its way timidly back into our lives, our darker techno and house resolve has weakened and slowly the happier side of music we look out for comes back out to play in the sun.

Step up <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mrkrokett">Rayko</a> who's edits have made our lives an all round smilier affair and saved many a DJ set when we were starting out all those years back. So when we heard the Spaniard had a brand new album out now on UK based Nang Records we decided to reel him in for a little mix to perk us all up.

Words from FSQ:

We first heard Life on Planets perform live at WMC in 2015 at the Freehand Hotel in Miami. When we heard "Cold Front" we new we wanted to work with it as it has a bubbly bass synth that kicks in with a sinister bass line and all other kinds of cool elements. The "S" in FSQ stands for "style" and we like to apply various musical styles to our remix work. We reached out to Life on Planets and got the session and went to work.

Billy Bass Nelson is one of the founders of Funkadelic (he even coined the term) which got started way back in 1969. 

FSQ had the opportunity to get a session in with Billy Bass in May 2015, and we brought him to Williamsburg to Dave Robertson's (Cameo Culture)'s studio. We pulled up the Life on Planets session since it needed work, and Billy just it took over. The vibes were thick in the little basement room as he laid down bass and multiple tracks of guitars.  

What most people do not realize about Billy Bass Nelson is that he had a productive career after leaving Funkadelic full time in 1972 and is on so many disco funk hits that are played heavily today. 

His work beyond Funkadelic includes productions for The Commodores, The Temptations, Rose Banks (Sly Stone's sister), Jermaine Jackson, Lenny Williams, Alton McLain & Destiny and Smokey Robinson. 

Many of Billy's LA disco sessions were also joined by Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel and Sly Stone himself, not credited, but instead Sly went under the name Jimmy Ford (a joke, the president who took over from Nixon). 

The FSQ Billy Bass Funkadelic dub version of Life on Planets "Cold Front" marks the first time Billy's been heard on a record since his 1995 solo record. We made a YouTube playlist of Billy's post Funkadelic disco-funk works here, and we think you'll be able to link his distinct sound on these cuts, to what you will hear in the new FSQ dub we did for Life on Planets.

During the Billy Bass session on "Cold Front", Billy remarked that LOP vocalist Phil Jenkins sounds a bit like Tyrone Davis. 

Tyrone Davis is a famous northern soul singer, known for his hit "Turn Back the Hands of Time". Ironically, we heard the very same thing with Phil, so we created an alternate remix of "Cold Front" with deep northern soul stylings including lush guitars, organs, melodica, and a driving northern soul beat. FSQ's GKoop played a big part in revising the song for this style which we often produce in (we did a northern soul remix for Nick Monaco in 2014). Violinist Lauren Avery guests here, recording over 25 tracks of strings to give the remix a fully orchestrated sound that you hear on many northern soul records. 

If you don't know much about the "northern soul" genre, and it's importance to the world of DJing and also its link to disco, you should read this lengthy post by DJ Greg Wilson. There's entire chapter in the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life on "northern soul".

Crazy P Garden Festival special Podcast 2010

I loved putting this one together, I’m really into finding ways for heavier tracks to flow into looser more broken songs that might not be written specifically for DJs to play out - That’s where the fun is in DJing, finding bridges between different styles so you can start in one place and end somewhere completely different.”

King Kooba – Fooling Myself (Easy Access Orchestra Mix)
100% vibe throughout and still sounds fresh so many moons later.
- Originally released on ‘Nufoundfunk’ in 2000

Lyrics:

In the isle of the Unification, yeah

[Chorus]
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thripney bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

This is how we knead dough, how we make bread
Word edible, many may eat what I said
Treat what I said like it's some deep shit
Straight from the abyss, my French kiss
Smack my rooney, black butter moon is
Which past the moon the gunga peas cooked up
Hooked up with soul but no sound for clearance
Bastard, got no home and no parents

Just be just, just just about just me
That's why none of you here could ever trust me
Got the need to secure my future
Beautiful dudeness, salute my yutes for
Them type of scroll a heart reflection
love vivisection
I dedicate this to all the peeps who keep the culture
You my sculpture!
 
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

Lived for more than a thousand days straight
Twisted, looking inside my self-hate
The more I study, the less I know
And my hippie mind tells me to go with the flow
So whatchasayin' brother brother
Whatchasayin' mother mother
Whatchasayin' sister sister
Love to love and oh daddy
We can't forget your part, in many cases
We may regret your part
And it's harsh, the life lesson that the schools don't teach
For whom the heart beats to reach out to love
Sacred feeling, [?] I keep the guts love
Brenda, she's pregnant? Yes mama
Triple blackness? Whoa, smells like death
Triple blackness? Whoa, smells like life
Close to paradise where the gods were near
Those that don't hear will definitely feel
Real deal, keeping it meal, keeping it glutton
Everything is everything, nothing ain't nothing
 
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

Taken from the forthcoming full-length album from King Kooba, featuring the vocal stylings of Flash Gordon, ‘Want Your Love’ is that classic soul groove with the keys / beats / horns you come to love from all The Jazzual Suspects production.

Lyrics:
I want your love
(x4)

I see you watching me watch you
It’s been a long time coming
So what you gonna do
Don’t fight the feeling
You know that I’m feeling you

Hey there honey
I know you feel the attraction between us
There aint a thing you should do about it
Words to be real

I know you feel the attraction between us
There aint a thing you should do about it
Words to be real

I want your love
(x4)

Baby lets go somewhere we can chill
Your place or my place
We should really get better acquainted 
It’s been too long don’t you feel

Fixated on your every thing
I just want you close to me
There ain’t a thing that you should do about it 
In return I promise you anything
In turn I promise you anything

Don’t you think it’s time for you to explore all of my body
Mind and soul you like nutrients you got me functioning proply
And I know that you love me
And you know that you want me
Put your loving arms around me
Hold me so gently 

I want your love
(x4)
I want you, I need you
(x4)

People Under The Stairs – Turfbuilders (Demo)
Turfbuilders (Demo),’ is an unreleased track from Los Angeles legends People Under The Stairs. This one just oozes all things good and funky.

Lyrics:

We step on stage
From state to state
And measure all weight with a 
crate slingin’
Hustlers juggling twelves
Smuggling this real s
Snoopy might sniff it
And customs they might check it
Then punks open it up
Suitcase be full of records
Visa stamp, he’s a champ
Let him through to interlude
At hotels tell them bellboys we rule
 
The people gon raise the roof like amish folk
Then let the sucka burn like the traumatize smoke
Me and the big loc billy goatin’ the local dames
Where they not only know the name
But happy we came
 
So here it is
Rockin’ live
Just me and my buddies
Controlling the kids through music like Teletubbies
Best under the sun
And relatively lovely
Brixton dub me
Hard hitting rugby
Rhythms be getting em bubbly the clubs be spinnin’
So funked up they get home and can’t sleep on it
You gonna throw it up when you see the P on it
Honestly, the tonic and gin is my Huckelberry Fin
A lot of adventures I don’t know where to begin, mannnnnn
What was I sayin while that P Funk be playing
Man you’re rocking with the Jazz, The Thes The Double K and
 
With the love in the town
Pump me up
Yo we covering ground
Now the P be pumping it up
By tearing it down
And you love this sound
(x2)
 
Bust it out, straighten up
Gettin’ busy like a high-top fade
I rock the get better for the letter the P
The go getter of fresh s
Double and the Peruvian
The ones you should mess with
We mess with funky loops
And go together like toast and orange juice
Made America hang loose
Broke up the gang truce
Stole the spruce goose and got fly on em
Columbian neck tie on em
Pumpin like a Newport in rhymes
I wrote em in color
And every letter was the difference
They say I’m spliference in your perriference
But I stay out of sight
Put a citation on your microphone
So leave Mike alone
When he doing his thang
And hearing the big bang
Hear Parliament sang
If ya hear any noise, its just me and the boys
Just getting drunk and doing what we known for
From Fort Collins to Sac Town back down to San Dog
With your man and dem, bought a can with them
Back for the first time
Equivalent to crime in the streets
Out of control like Wild teenagers with pagers
 
Swearing in the name of your savior
I get funky like Deuteronomy
No one be ever harmin’ me
MC’s be tauntin me
But I strike down from the heavens of dopeness
You can quote this
Tell em I meant every word and verb
Smash your kids with adjectives
No additives, those are pro now, it’s like oh wow
 
With the love in the town
Pump me up
Yo we covering ground
Now the P be pumping up
By tearing it down
You love this sound
(x2)
