Hard Times -Danger Blues

Consumerism is a track coming out on the eve of Ms. Hill's release. She wanted to get this music out while she was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently.

"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven't been able to watch the news too much recently, so I'm not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn't imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it's level."

THE SIEGAL SCHWALL BAND -Shake For Me (Jeremy Sole remix)

This little gem is from back in 2003, way before Omegaman. One of my best buddies Andy Travers & I worked on a bunch of tracks - we were known as NEMO (before the Disney movie)- we spent our days crate digging for lounge samples & funky beats. HEY! was done on an old Atari ST computer with external midi sound modules (Korg, Ensoniq + an Akai sampler) + Greg Dean playing some super cheezy keys - all bounced down through a sound desk to cassette (it was the perfect soundtrack for my old 1960's Hillman Minx.) We did some great tunes back then along with the master of midi & keys Phil Grove, the lovely vocals of Linda Janssen - the artwork for this is by the incredibly talented Nigel O'Neill - enjoy!

If you want to throw a successful block party, you need to get the sound, the system and the beats just right!' Mo' Horizons have done exactly that with their new album. 'Mo' Horizons and the Banana Soundsystem' is about putting the groove in place, as entertaining and profound as possible: 'We were touring to such an extent that we were nearly going bananas,' Mo' Horizons creative mastermind Ralf Droesemeyer recollects the last few years. 'It was as much fun as it was a colourful trip exploring the music of the world.

Stank Soul Edits Vol. 1 finds Mako & Mr Bristow delivering reverent and definitively classic dancefloor edits of two vintage cuts. King Soul-omon's „Mine“ gives the beat, bass and bpm a lift on an old favourite by the 'king of soul' while „Sock It Silly“ boosts the beat and bass and tweaks the guitar on an obscure later number by a man more associated with rock n roll and early 60s rnb. This IS funky soul y'all!

"Voodoocuts soaks himself in a Champs flavoured "Tequila" spirit. With a tightly plucked guitar riff and major hand-clap action if this doesn't cause a merry Mexican stand off on the dancefloor you're playing in the wrong venue"
(Juno Records)

" Voodoocuts sacrifices a chicken to the remix/mash-up loa resulting in Git Fonky’s crazy cool latin-garage stomp"
(Monkeyboxing)

"Another banging release from the Resense camp, ready to set the dancefloor on fire with two Latin based Funk jams. Highly recommened!"

Git fonky (Resense 032)

Dominic, AKA Stranger Danger, has been a part of the underground music
scene since 1992. Going from house dancer, to promoter, to DJ, and now producer, Danger has followed a natural progression for those who love House Music.
Having a grandfather who was a Baptist preacher and a dad in a funk band, Danger's love for music started early in life. Since his first rave in the early 90's, Danger soaked up the eclectic diversity in the Bay Area and grew to love and appreciate House Music for its energy and community, as well as its soulful healing and message.
As a DJ, Danger runs the gamut from deep rich vocals and moody chuggy beats to the occasional jack tune. As a producer, he makes swingy and or deep tracks, but is looking to do some big room vocals in the future. Danger's got an ear for music, so in his mix sets you'll always find a song or two you really like, and hopefully haven't heard over and over again.
Stranger Danger is just getting started.
