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!

Óxido

Inside

Óxido es una banda leonesa de hard rock que inicia aproximadamente en el año 2010, cuando Daniel Brown, Carlos Lastra y David González inician el proyecto como una simple agrupación para tocar y pasar un buen rato juntos. Con el transcurso del tiempo, se fueron abriendo puertas y diferentes tipos de eventos, bares y lugares dónde tocar, con lo que el nivel de seriedad de la banda se agrandó, contemplando así promocionarse no sólo como un grupo de amigos que tocaban. Durante los años que Óxido ha existido, el proyecto ha evolucionado gracias a que han pasado por la banda muchos integrantes, dejando cada uno su influencia y aportes variados.

Los géneros que toca Óxido son variados: desde rock alternativo hasta metal. Siendo el género más constante y que identifica a la banda, el Hard Rock. Óxido es una banda de rock que toca covers, no específicamente de una época en particular, pero la mayoría de los covers que interpreta son de rock de los años 70's. En cuanto a la música original, Óxido prefiere las composiciones propias, antes que los covers, pues su intención es mostrar lo que son a la gente, y no simplemente interpretar canciones de alguien más. Las composiciones son colaboraciones de todos los integrantes. Un miembro lleva una idea, y entre todos le dan forma y aportan ideas para crear la pieza final con la coautoría y personalidad de todos en la banda.

La intención actual de la banda es darse a conocer entre la comunidad rockera y no rockera en todo el alcance que pueda. Hispanohablantes o no. Primero en la ciudad de León, luego extendiéndose a localidades vecinas, cada vez más. Óxido pretende compartir las creaciones musico-artísticas originales que produce a la mayor cantidad de gente posible. Mostrar la creatividad mexicana con un estilo original y particular que pocas bandas poseen.

El 26 de mayo de 2015 Óxido lanzó su primer álbum EP homónimo, titulado "Óxido", que cuenta con cuatro canciones:
- Inside
- Going Away
- Before Dawn Comes
- Vórtice (Es la rola que te adjunté en este correo)
