Came across this pretty amazing full-length version of Brazilian Rhyme just recently when checking out all of the previously unreleased bonus tracks that had surfaced on Japanese reissues and compilations over the years. It's actually a version of Toninho Horta’s “Beijo Partido” with (as far as I can tell) completely different English lyrics. 

For this edit I’ve used the Ponta De Areia interval as an intro and added a brief edit of the much-loved version from "All 'n All" as an outro. 








EWF - Brazilian Rhyme aka "Beijo Partido" (Extended Edit)

Dusty Donuts 008 ft. Jim Sharp, Naughty NMX & Runex

Side A - Breakin’ My Heart (Jim Sharp Edit)
Side B - Check Minnie's Love - (Naughty NMX & Runex Brexit Mix)

On “Breakin’ My Heart”, Jim Sharp finds a way to bridge the summery goodness of ATCQ with the original instrumentation sampled by Dilla. The iconic vocal lead of Bebel Gilberto floats over the boom bap drums to make it a sure shot. The flip side, “Check Minnie's Love” once again shows that Naughty NMX and Runex are on point. The product is horns, beefed up beats, fat bass and silky smooth vocals to make you think it’s ’92 again (without the Rhime). Minnie rips the lovely 
vocals into a dance floor banger.

2016 just saw another Legend pass away. Kashif Saleem, previously known as Michael Jones, was one of the most prolific producers in the 1980's, producing for acts such as Melba Moore, Evelyn Champagne King, Withney Houston, Howard Johnson and George Benson, just to name a few.

On a personal note, Kashif's music is the ultimate reason why I am the Dj that I aspire to be - the 1st time I heard "I Just Got To Have You (Lover Turn Me On) was one of the greatest musical discovery, if not the greatest, that I encountered - that Moog Bass, those guitar licks, that snare variation on the 8th, the arrangements, the lyrics. I was captivated. Forever. Today, I'm even more convinced that Kashif Changed My Life. Rest In Power Kashif Saleem.
