Knee Deep - Darling

This is a very clever record, when i had heard that knee deep had sampled "my cherie amour" i knew i was going to like it.....but i didnt expect it to be THIS good. very clever use of the "la la la la la" bit. rearranging the pattern and adding pads underneath to give an almost magical feel to the track. Superb!!

Takes a little while to get going so bare with it. When it kicks in though......wow. Can only imagine how good this would sound with an ibiza sunset.

Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire

This tune is everywhere at the moment, i first heard it when radio one premiered it and it instantly made me turn the radio up full wack. Energy and soul is a perfect combination and they pull it off perfectly. Just an all round great record. I hope the radios don't play it out quickly!!

John Legend & Andre 3000 - Greenlight

The second i saw these two had collabed, i knew it would be superb!! they didnt disapoint!! pure vibes and a really cool video. top marks!! i just wish it had come out earlier in the year when we had some sunshine to go with it!!

Duke - So In Love With You

It's a little old this one, going back to 1994 actually!!! But my days... pure funk!!! was re-released 2000, and its this version that i came across. Soulful as you like vocals and killer instrumental. Cant help but sing along to this tune!!! Found this one when searching for "womanchild" which was remixed by Todd Edwards. The original of womanchild is worth a listen too!! great track.

Jme - Sun Sea & Sand

summer time party grime vibes always been a fan of jme, he talks alot sense and doesnt big himself up to much like many of the grime mcs do. this tunes taken from his new album "famous". perfect for summer...just need some sun now!!!

Eric Roberson - Just A Dream

just came across this guy on youtube, cant believe ive not picked on him before!! such a nice soulful style. wicked. check out the j-dilla produced "pretty girl" too. sunday morning listening!

Usher ft. Jay-Z - Best Thing

Its been a good few years since ive heard an usher tune i liked, the last sick one was "You Dont Have to Call". Since then hes gone down the R. Kelly smoother rnb route...which for me just doesnt make the grade. Hes back with Jay-Z (who IMO can do no wrong) on a proper sick Jermaine Dupri instrumental. In fact, its so sick i'd rather listen to the instrumental than the vocal.... but the vocals are still working & its a nice summer tune.
