If you've listened to Top 40 radio or flipped through the video channels during the past few years, odds are pretty good you know something about John Legend. He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and might as well be considered Kanye West's sidekick, having assisted the producer and MC on several sessions — Jay-Z's "Encore" and Slum Village's "Selfish" being two of the more prominent 2004 singles featuring his work. A former choir director, he has also released a handful of energetic live discs, some of which are credited to his less hubristic birth name, John Stephens. And though he claims "I've got something new," you've also heard substantial chunks of Get Lifted in records made decades ago by Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, and Bill Withers. This might not be a problem for listeners who crave anything that recalls the music they first heard in their youth, but Legend's over-reliance upon his inspirations is an impediment as much as a slick way to grab attention. That's because he has more than enough talent and charm to get by on his own. His own lyrics and hooks are unique and clever enough to get the point across that he's no everyday R&B artist and, just as importantly, he has a personable and instantly fetching voice you could listen to all day long. However, the association with West — whose Sony-distributed boutique label released the record — is very helpful. Without it, Legend would likely be zoned into neo-soul (2003's Live at SOB's New York City really makes this notion apparent), thereby standing little chance of reaching the ears of anyone younger than 30. The production work supporting his songs strikes a fine balance between soul and hip-hop, allowing him to appeal to those who are coming from either angle. This is a very good record. It's a given that Legend is destined to make at least two others that top it.

Wild Belle - It's too late [Anoraak remix] *FREE DL*

My remix for Jose James' "Trouble."
yep!
Even got love for it here!: https://www.okayplayer.com/news/jose-james-b-trouble-boombapfonkmix-mp3.html
"Oakland producer .B! drops of a gem of a remix with a dope reinterpretation of “Trouble” by Jose James – a bluesy dance take that lends a smidge of broken beat funk to the track from his latest LP No Beginning, No End released in January. “Trouble” has been a favorite of James’ as he has made the late-night television rounds since the release of the album. With the B!oomBapFonkMix from .B! “Trouble” joins Oddisee‘s remix of James’ “All Over Your Body” as one of two certifiably ill interpretations of tracks from his latest body of work. Not sure whether this joint was entered into the official remix contest over at Blue Note. Check the remix..."

Attracting Flies (S Type Remix)

Bot’Ox and their beloved friend from Australia, Sidwho, have talked about doing a track or two together for a long lime. But both were super busy, Bot’Ox working on their series of singles leading to their 2nd LP « Sans Dormir » (out late October 2013) and Sid into half a dozen projects (releasing a solo LP for DFA, touring with Empire of the Sun or with his own project The Swiss, etc.).

Finally Sid sent Bot'Ox vocal parts, and Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz brought together the Bot’Ox crew (Juan « Dye » de Guillebon on bass and Jeremy Hickey on drums) to record a session « the old school way ». « Daylight » was meant to be recorded live, edited like an old extended disco track though trying to keep a modern touch on it. 
The original comes out with amazing remixes. Who else than Jacques Renault could provide a perfect rework of it? He’s the one you’d ask first to turn a classical disco track into a modern dancefloor burner.

And we’ve been long time fans of Domenico Torti, who was part of the very first Cliché Breaks release many years ago. If you don’t know him Domenico Torti was a master in Reel to Reel editing, and did many additional production on some of the best material released by Dimitri From Paris (remember his Stetsasonic remix).
It’s an unusual single compared to the recent I’m a Cliché releases, but if you follow and like the label, you might do it because it’s versatile and eclectic. We hope that « Daylight » will find you as well as the first rays of the summer.
