[Audaz79] You like to Dance (Rayko Dragon Soul Edit) [low quality]

When Featurecast & The Gaff got a chance to play together recently, it didn't take long to get to talking about their mutual love for Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" and how the world needed an edit of it, and just like that, a few sleepless nights, some dusty records and a little bit of finesse: "Ain't Got Time" was born! The ultimate Marvin Gaye meets Stevie Wonder track that never existed......So why did a collabo between these two legends never happen? They both recorded for Motown at the same time and were fans of each other!....Here's a little history lesson: 
 "Too busy thinkin bout my baby" was written by the Motown team of Whitfield, Strong, and Bradford in 1965, and first recorded by The Temptations a year later.
Marvin's cover of the tune came out a few years later, and was his 2nd biggest hit of the 60's, right after "Heard It Through The Grapevine" in 1969 at the age of 30...Curious who was in Marvin's heart as he was singin this? If You do the math, it's none other than Tammi Terrel, who he fell deeply in love with as they began working on their tracks ("ain't no mountain high enough) around the same time....Unfortunately, Tammi wasn't into Marvin in that way! She was much younger, early 20's, and apparently favored "darker men", Marvin was a light skinned brother, and perhaps wasn't what caught her eye? Well, that's the breaks, Tammi put on a good show for sure...
Now, Marvin Gaye was 11 years older than Stevie Wonder, who, at the time, was about to breakthrough to his hugely successful crossover lp's at only 19 with "Signed Sealed Delivered"! 
Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" had come out on his album "Down TO Earth" in '66, at only 16, and a dope version was covered later by SoulSister Bettye Lavette, You should check it! Not many know about that cover :-)
So, there was a big age gap, with marvin bringout out songs of soulful love in his 30's, and Stevie bringin the Funk in his 20's!!!
in 1991, almost 25 years after it was released, De La Soul would flip "Hey Love" into "Talkin bout Hey Love" where it was brought back all over again for a new generation of Hip Hop heads around the world (a young skateboarding gaffer and a LIl Featurecast being 2 of them :-) 
25 years after that, we added in the horns from an early Serge Gainsbourg record so this tune would appeal to fans of De La Soul, be enjoyed by Motown lovers, and any fans of DJ's with dope cuts.....Sampled the OG records to provide the instrumental parts used...
We kept this mix so classic, for old and young alike, even your grandma can still appreciate it, nod her head to the fatback drums, dope cuts and scratches....we hope this version makes its rounds for a long time to come, giving you the Marvin & Stevie collaberation that you always wished for.......cheers!

Featurecast & The Gaff Ain't Got Time

MAM
‘Beats of Science Vol 6’
(Outcross Records)

The latest offering from Miguel Campbell’s Outcross Records comes courtesy of in-house label duo MAM, with ‘Beats of Science Vol 6’ playing host to two brand new tracks - ‘Global Warm Up’ and ‘Voicebox’.

Maintaining the vibrant disco elements from their previous releases, ‘Global Warm Up’ is defined by a solid, funk-laden bassline and glossy synth-melodies that build on a colourful, summertime aesthetic that's continued with aplomb via second track ‘Voicebox’. The latter is again groove-filled, although this time complete with looped vocal samples and powerful, soulful chords that hark back to an era of dance music not easily reimagined. 

About MAM
Just a Man and Another Man. MAM consist of the Leeds based duo Matt Hughes and Miguel Campbell. The two met online via their mutual love for Daft Punk and have been recreating the classic French Touch sound together since 2007, earning support from the likes of Soul Clap for their endeavours.
