In arabic 'al shaab' means 'the people' and shaabi translates to folk or popular music. The term has been used for decades but, in recent years a new generation of producers, rappers and singers have revolutionized the style.. On the one hand there are the samples of traditional egyptian instruments, the hypnotic rhythms of the religious festivals and wedding parties (mulids and mahraganat) and the songs of lament (mawal). On the other hand, the influence of global dance music from hip-hop to reggaeton to electro pop and house music are all present although in this mix i chose to focus on tracks that have a predominantly egyptian flavor.. For the most part, these songs are self produced in tiny back room studios with cracked music software programs and after years of development, these guys are finally starting to get their due.. For more on the music, culture and artists check these links and enjoy the music!..

80s LADIES

A few weeks ago we played a couple of dances in mainland Europe (Switzerland, Austria, Germany) as a part of a small tour arranged by our bonafide friends from Stuttgart, Jugglerz. During this tour we touched down in various cities in the countries mentioned. One of them was Cologne. We had the pleasure and honor to play side by side with the mighty Pow Pow Movement who has been locking things down for over two decades in Germany. Their weekly Friday night dance, which has been kept at Petit Prince for 18 (!!!) years, is always ram packed and known to be one of the best weekly dances in Germany. 

So here we go, a recording from that Friday 13th night when Safari and Pow Pow shell dung Petit Prince together. Unfortunately our recorder pop dung sometime during the night so the entire night wasn’t recorded. But hey, better with some vibes than no vibes, right? 

Enjoy!

DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn and Taso - legendary Chicago footwork pioneers from Teklife - rework "Do My Thang" by Snoop Dogg & Dam-Funk, from their 7 Days of Funk album. The trio take Snoop and Dam's original modern funk track and flip it, cranking up the BPM and transform the track into a spacious, bass-heavy-house-hitter.

DJ_GREENB_THE_JOINT ((GO HARD PT 1))

She woke up disoriented...
shielding her eyes from a morning that had come too quickly.
Water was running in the next room.
She glanced around.
...her things were scattered everywhere.

She smiled as she gathered everything up.

"indecent..." She whispered to herself  as she tossed her panties in her purse, raked her hands through her hair and slipped her dress on...

She’s brilliant, wonderful, terrifying, possibly clairvoyant, imperfect, real, flawed but very close to beautiful.

She strolled out into the brisk morning and felt cold air on her skin... She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and pulled her coat tight. Her mind was already racing.   ...Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Dj miCheL [RM FAMILY] -  FuNana FesTiVaL Vol 3 [ 2013 ]

THE FIRST TRACK FROM "SKEETWOOD MAC," dropping on 2/4/13!!!

Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands ever. Producers rarely remix Fleetwood Mac. Why you ask? Most remixers and mashup artists focus solely on what is “hot” now – you know, pop songs and EDM “hits.” The Melker Project wanted to buck the trend and introduce mashup fans to some of the timeless classics that often go untouched in remix culture. You know, GOOD songs.

“Skeetwood Mac” is the first in a series of EPs being released by The Melker Project, each focusing on a different classic artist.  As the name implies, this EP is comprised of five Fleetwood Mac songs, each mashed up with Hip Hop and R&B standards. 

This track features the Fleetwood Mac classic "The Chain" mixed with a 2 Chainz instrumental and 3 2 Chainz verses.  "The (2) Chain (z)." Clever, right?

Warmfuzzy - For Valentine's Day

"Dreams" is one of my favorite songs of all time. It is perfect. I almost felt bad doing a mashup... almost.

For this one I chose the Ciara song "Ride," as her vocals seem to complement the Fleetwood Mac classic perfectly.  And Luda sets it off as always...
