Röyksopp - Happy Up Here

what an amazing track!!! Röyksopp do it again!!!

Jay Dilla - Track 27

one of the best tracks of all time "james brown - this is a mans world" sampled to perfection with some of the toughest drums ever. Pure badness. I love the way it comes in, kinda out of time, but not... awesome.

Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor Remix (A Simple Breakdown)

wow!!! just came across this remix of a classic track. this remix was out back when the original was around, but i totally missed it. its brilliant!!! the way her voice floats across the track. amazing!!!!

Burial - Archangel (Phaseone Remix)

Not the easiet tune to remix, but this is big and dirty!!! one of them tunes to listen to late at night when driving through london on your own.

Mr. Hudson - There Will Be Tears

Tunes like this are the exact reason i made this blog. Pure musical gems. I worry that this will get too rinsed one day and ill hate it, but right now.....this is the stuff!!! Produced by Kanye West, the vocal is where its at. I wish they would make a dub and go to town with a vocoder and chops on the vocal over that instrumental...who knows, maybe ill do it myself!!

Q-Tip - Gettin' Up

Gettin Up


this tune is straight up fire!! my favourite rapper of all time is back with a new album. this is the lead single and its brilliant. rolling hip hop at its best!!

Sylvers - Only One Can Win

I first heard this ont he Jay Dilla track that sampled it. I loved what Jay had done with it, a few listens to the original after recommendation from a friend: http://odetothebigsea.blogspot.com and im in love with it. The chorus has this magical floating kinda feeling to it. The whole record is built on anticipation of the chorus.... it just works!!! Can't get enough of it!!
