funky afro-electro disco remix for the homie Chico Mann. 

I Feel It (Captain Planet Remix)

The second volume of Danny Krivit's "Edits By Mr. K" series sees the master editor, DJ, and record collector dipping into his extensive crates to put his magic touch on personal favorites and floor fillers from the golden age of disco and soul.  On "(Do The) Spanish Hustle," Fatback Band's breakout hit from 1976, Krivit leads with the break, slowly building momentum until catharsis comes nearly four minutes into the track.  It's a driving, uptempo track which highlights the beginning of funk's evolution into disco, and a terrific slice of dance floor gold.  Edits By Mr. K Volume 2: Music Of The Earth comes out September 14th on Strut.

The Tape feat. RQM - Minimal (Cuebism Remix) 2004

Soundway Records present ’24 Hours in A Disco 1978 - 82’, 7 cuts of relentless disco grooves from the sublimely gifted Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa’s answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday. 

Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise matched by an equally swift fall back into obscurity. 

Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.

Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan’s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release.

Released on CD and 2xLP both formats are accompanied with detailed liner notes written by Uchenna Ikonne. LP version comes with a free MP3 download of the release.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Sono sempre stato onesto, poi
compiuti trent'anni ho smesso:
il giorno che ho perso il posto in favore
di un raccomandato corrotto. Allora
ho stretto patto su patto
con ogni sorta di farabutto
e vedessi la strada che ho fatto e
come d'un tratto incuto rispetto.

All'inizio ho soltanto aiutato
qualche amico e me ne sono vergognato.
Chi ha potuto però mi ha pagato e, ho pensato,
anche poco per quel che ho passato,
così ho continuato. Ho mentito e ingannato,
ho rischiato e ci ho guadagnato,
per un pelo non mi hanno arrestato
ma poi in centinaia mi hanno votato
e mi sono salvato! Avrei smesso e
mi hanno ricattato:
sarei stato l'unico sputtanato e
per forza di cose mi sono adattato. Mi hanno
elogiato e ricandidato,
e in migliaia mi hanno rivotato!
E il numero è sempre aumentato di chi
mi ha votato e votato e votato.

Non è servito un colpo di mano,
e io non è che ho un intelletto fino:
conquistare il popolo italiano è stato come
raccontare storielle a un bambino. E io ho
falsificato e lucrato,
ho rubato, ho tradito e ho incastrato,
ho spiato, sovvertito e tramato
e ogni tanto qualcuno è rimasto ammazzato e non ho mai
scontato... mi hanno beccato e ci hanno provato,
ma in galera non ci sono mai andato:
ho legali dallo stipendio salato e sono
stato prescritto ma mai condannato.
Alla fine il mio impero lo hanno terminato
gli stessi che mi avevano incoronato.
Il mio potere era ormai irrefrenabile
e mi hanno sostituito con uno più controllabile.
La morale è che non c'è morale,
né giustizia e se lo vuoi cambiare
ti rimane soltanto una cosa da fare,
che so, puoi provarti anche tu a candidare... ha ha ha...

Hey baby, don't call me a trickster...
'cos I'm just a fancazzista...
Yo lady, I'm no impostor
but the only one funkazzista™!
Hey baby, don't call me a trickster...
'cos I'm just a fancazzista...
Yo lady, I'm no impostor
but the only one funkazzista™!

Back to the Back to the beat, y'all!
Down with the sound so sweet, y'all!
Old Skool lost souls, I'll be your pastor,
you can say your piece, then I'll say mine faster
and pick rhymes that'll make you move,
'cos I do like the beat but prefer the groove.
So tap your feet, shake your head, get loose
and prove there's no rhythm you can't cruise!

Hey baby, don't call me a trickster...

Hey mister, I ain't no hipster.
I'll bring the Funk, you bring your Hot Sista,
I'monna impress her doing a tongue-twister,
and make ya all dance 'till your feet blister.
I'll act like a Funk transistor,
jump on the groove, throwin' rhymes in the mixture.
I own the recipe, and I'll fix you
feel good vibes and fresh flows on the
side! That's right y'all...

Hey baby, don't call me a trickster...

'cos I'm just a fancazzista...
Yo lady, I'm no impostor
but the only one funkazzista™!

Sorry gals, I don't mean to harass...
but to me funk is just like sex:
I'll slap your ass like a big fat bass,
stroke your G string like a guitar ace,
move to the groove, so cut me some slack
and you'll be leaving scratches all over my
back! back! back! back!

Hey baby, don't call me a trickster...

LYRICS
Trash in a gold frame in a velvet case
I'm burning out my flames
A circular staircase to put us back in place
All back
Erased

My best is yet to come
Like eventually the sun will just burn out
Yeah my best it yet to...

Come outside my hands are freezing cold
Let's just start running 'till we're completely alone

Push your doubts away
Like a velvet wave, like a velvet wave

My best is yet to come
Like eventually the sun will just burn out
Yeah my best it yet to...

Come outside my hands are freezing cold
Let's just start running 'till we're completely alone
Forget out pasts, forget our valuables
I've got this feeling that you're all I need for warmth

DANNY KRIVIT + RON TRENT - Live @ Square One, Chicago - 04-04-2002

Moodyman & Gil Scott Heron- Amerika

http://www.arthurs-landing.com

New York's Arthur's Landing is far from a cover project.  Made up of a collective of many of the late Arthur Russell's closest friends and collaborators, the group uses their experiences working with Arthur as a jumping off point to create new material out of song fragments, performance exercises, and some of the material on which they worked together with much loved artist.  On "Love Dancing," the Loose Joints classic "Is It All Over My Face" becomes a sparse meditation on the feelings, akin to a crush, that music can inspire.  The track features vocals from Arthur Russell's good friend Joyce Bowden, as well as Hercules And Love Affair's Nomi.
