The Genesis Era

The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.

Supercat – the Don Dada

don dada

Super Cat got me into Reggae – here is the promised 2nd part to some of his music and some songs from his early 90ies album “Don Dada”, which i caught a glimpse of while i was in NY in 93/94. Flex was on the radio, Souls of Mischief proclaimed the year to be timeless, Black Moon had everyone open and Wu-Tang was the word of the year. I mean Nas “Illmatic” came out early/mid 94 and Queen Latifahs “U.N.I.T.Y” was one of the best promoted albums and tracks i had ever seen. The best party was Phunky Buddha at Nells a proper hipster crowd (hipsters in the early 90ies was something completely different), Jackie 60 had some legendary Acid Jazz nights, the Tunnel was a rowdy hiphop crowd on Wednesdays and the Lions Den had some amazing Reggae afternoons – and my reggae mixtapes were bought at 555Soul. Actually i was a massive fan of the Cat but as soon as his hiphop mixes caught on – man, i was hooked. Have fun kids.

Here are the hiphop mixes that i am playing every now and then up to this day. but i think they were in 92 – not really sure and too lazy to look up the record sleeves. Ps recognize the sample on Dolly my Baby? Herbie Hancocks “Watermelon Man”. Chocolate breadcrumbs on the way down memory lane. There are many sites on the Internet, but https://casinoreg.net provides inexperienced players with the most detailed casino FAQ

Sade new song “Soldier of Love”

sade1

Being the huge Sade fan i have been for so many years, about 20 years now, its been almost a decade since her last release and i am totally looking forward to the new one. This is her new song and even though i generally hate songtitles with the words “war, soldier,..” or anything military in it, Sade as in previous years is an exception to the rule or all rules in general. If its gonna be anything like any of her previous albums i am gonna be listening to this one for the next 10 years.

In general i don’t believe in the concept of albums these days, when observed from an evolutionary point of view – this mechanical item is simply dated, but once again Sade is also an exception to this rule. Enjoy

Big up Xaphoon for sending this through and apologies bro for forgetting to post this over and over again. Its the mixtape offering from his band Chiddy Bang which received enough praises from me and all the djs involved in YUM YUM.

@Xaphoon whenever you got new stuff send it through and check Stromae (maybe for remixing him)- i’ll hook you up with acapellas and all. He is like the french sensation everyone plays this side of the sea. I think you guys dig it.

Chiddy Bang – Get Up In The Morning

last YUM YUM Berlin in 2009 this Saturday ∆ Picknick

Bild 66

This is it folks the place to be this Saturday if you are anywhere near and in Berlin – and if you dont know this spot – don’t bother. Here are some tunes and edits that fit the YUM YUM sound in Berlin, hand selected by my man Schowi. The Flyers simply nice. Its the YUM YUM Berlin 1 year anniversary, cause thats about the time when we officially landed, even though we have been around – but with a city like Berlin – you need to time and play it all right and if not well you are mediocre or less in a matter of days – thats why this is another fine selected setup. Really looking forward to this joint.

Ps the lineup is like a who is who of the people who define the city these days. incl main lady Palina Power, One of the Sick Girls, Bianca Checker and so on – these ladies know to throw a proper party and are pure eye candy besides being (street)smart. Simply peoples i like having dinner with. just lovely – RSVP to the party on Facebook

Ben Sollee – Only a Song (ft Jim James of My Morning Jacket)

Taken from Ben Sollees “Something worth keeping” Ep. This si my favourite song for the last 10 days or so and thats along, long time these days. it will surely find its way on my new mixtape “Sweet Serenade Vol 2” – sure to be out around christmas. Everyone needs some good music in these cold and dark winter days. Thats what this song is.
