The Genesis Era

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

Hands Down!! Rolling in the deep – funk bbQ YUM YUM remix

I got so annoyed with the popularity of Adeles track and how overplayed and overremixed (it that even a word) that tune became in no time. But then, Paul played me this when i stopped by in the UK for a tea (not a clichee, i swear).

Seriously…. Hands down, best version of Adeles track, a funk summertime monster, thats creeping up on you and it grows with every listen. Produced by YUM YUMs own Paul, no samples involved in this one. Give it a minute till the bass kicks in and all those little variations give it that serious Soul/Disco stomp. Expect to hear it on friday and actually everywhere else i play, this ones guaranteed to get the dance started on some serious oldschool loft flavour. Heavy funk bassline pushing Adeles song to another plateu, sending all those millions of remixes (except jamie xx + heatwave) to the curve and creating something new. This is my favourite version so far!!!

Thanks Paul, great inspiration here and yes yes, Its a YUM YUM version!

Lyn Charles – Now I’m Living (Ft. Freeway)

A guy named Scott Sheldon sent us this tune a few weeks ago, maybe Lyn Charles himslef? or one of his compadres? Anyways, sick piano sample, nice horn lick, great chilled out vocal hook and an overall nice vibe to this fine piece of hiphop. Cannot recognize the sample and thats a rarity these days. I came across a lot of good hip hop songs these days. Same goes for rock/pop/indie/folk songs. Somehow anything that doesnt sound like its manufactured sheerly for mass consumption or that tastes too artificial. Its the genral feel that its turning toward live, organic, self made, music.. like Marvin said: “It’s music, pure and simple”. Thank you internets.

***ps whats that picture got to do with the tune? you go figure it out! me? i’m too busy being an eccentric over here
