I really enjoy this riddim, because it picks up the positive “island-vibe” that you hardly get to hear in dancehall music anymore without it sounding corny. I put up my three favorite tunes on this by Beenie Man, chromemusic-favorite Cecile and Busy Signal (of course). So put these on your iPods – or whatever your listening device of choice is – and pretending it´s summer should become a lot easier…
In support of the much anticipated Roots/Legend album “the wake up sessions” J Period is coming out with a supportive mixtape next week. Here is the first track, “Our Generation” with the original protagonists, Pete Rock & CL Smooth that made this tune popular when sampling it for their influential track “Straight it our” 20 years ago!
Mayer Hawthorne is going on Tour.But before his national tour he´s leaving a free track
called ” No Strings”. Thanks Mayer Hawthorne! This is something to put on your mp3-player
listen to it and feel good!
Dudes and dudettes, it is already that time of the month. This Saturday, Sep 18th you’ll be in for a treat with DJ duties up to Tand Williams and D-Nice! who already team up on Friday and continue their carnage on Saturday to bring you the latest in YUM YUM music and sound.
We’re looking forward to a neat party with a lots of friends and smiling faces. Doors open at 11pm as usual but I suggest to be an early bird since the holidays are over and there will be most likely a queue outside. Just saying… ;-)
I heard this for the first time today, and i was blown away, this is pure YUM YUM music! Never heard of this dude before and he is supposed to be big in the EU? Well thats where we are based, but still i haven’t got a clue – through our huge dj network i should have at least had a hint of him, since he pretty much does exactly the music we play and dig, still no one ever heard of him. ??? Seriously?? All right he has got over 50.000 facebook fans and they play him on televison, i just got told, but i do not own a tv and the Daily Shows online anyway, so no need for that. I got more and more curious, since this guy sounds like the french Jamie Lidell, Ben Westbeach and the likes with some excellent music to back up that claim. I dig this mucho, even more than the loads of well know acts that are associated or are synonymous with Soul music these days. This fella right here will surely be included on all our new mixtapes.
And while we all await the John legend/ Roots collabo album and almost all the songs have leaked one way or another, and sometimes Legends vocals simply cant compete with the originals (we are talking Bill Withers, Donny Hathaway and more people of the same calibre), here comes a french dude with a SOUL/soul album that just blew me away with its sheer niceness. No gimicking around with some hip trendy music adaptions and imitative sounds and effects, like so many so-called soul artists these days, but purely feel good music – and that is what makes it so soulful. Kinda like Raphael Saadiqs album last year. Traditional Soul Music. It just is good and does not claim anthing! Thanks a lot Ben L’oncle Soul.
Your entire album will get LOADS of playtime at all our parties!
