Description: Another track from the unreleased Mark Owen album I produced in 98. Mark wrote this and it featured such musicians as Rob Merrill and Si Johns of Ronnie Size Represent, Greg Sutton and Merv DePeyer.

Amazing song with vocals and instrumentation. Just incredible how much quality music goes unreleased and we have to listen to the auto tuned dreck that fills the airwaves on the radio now. Massive thanks for sharing this gem.

Great stuff, thank you SO much for sharing!

Amazing Stuff... Thanks for shareing ;) xoxo

Another gorgeuos Mark Owen track, it's high time people realised just how talented this man is, thanks for sharing wish I'd heard this sooner!

Breakers Revenge Rebreak (jz Dub)

Just for the fact that I am putting this up 40 years later to the actual release date and that I can remember being at Skate Key in The Bronx on April 17, 1982.  Go ahead, look up the date, it was a Saturday Night adult skate session when Skate Key was on White Plains Road.

Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force.  Arthur Baker.  John Robie.  Tommy Boy Records. One of the most important Dance records of all time.  40 years.  Where did all the time go.  

So truth be told, the vocals are from the original version, stripped from the actual 2 inch master when Lenny Dee & I were working on a Brooklyn Funk Essentials track for Arthur back in 1988.  Arthur let us spool up all the original tapes for a track called "Do You Like It."  And the rest is history.  

So this one, it's 90%, the vocal fly-in came off for a split second but hey here is to 40 years.

Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.
