Dj Mujavas Township Funk revisited

August 13, 2011

The much remixed “Township Funk” anthem from 2008 by Dj Mijava from South Africa was one of the milestones in the drastic change music has foretaken within the last half decade or so. There are many more tunes and artists to mention but this one introduced the world, more or less, to African Kwaito music and all the other urban sounds of Africa that followed shortly afterwards – or let the west know that there is a contemporary African music besides the Mtv clones and national crooners that you find everywhere. It also changed dance music to the point where people expect you to play a more complex drum pattern, which somehow seemed unthinkable in the popular dance scene (mind you drum & bass / broken beats – but i said ‘popular’lol). And as everything repeats itself in a ever accelerating tempo and those circles get smaller and smaller – Dj Mujavas Township Funk, especially the original, is one of those tunes that has somehow made it into mainstream (fuck that hipster talk) ‘popular’ awareness and that i keep hearing bumping out of cars, bars and even cafes these days… PS my rhymes be tight – like the Hiphopapotomus my rhymes are bottomless…

I heard it in Vienna, Berlin & Vienna on lots of occasions within a few weeks at the most diverse locations, but somehow it didnt add up. No new Rmx, Major Label Re-release or Beyonce singing on it LOL. Visit our website https://freespinspromo.com and get exclusive sign up free spins and no deposit real money bonuses. I guess its a strange summer and the worlds changing – in all directions. And thats a good thing

Here are my 3 favourite remixes – (whatever happened to Rob Threezy?) – and i am leaving out the Ashley Beedle rmx that was probably highest ranked so enjoy this fine wine, and if you get a chance grab the 115 Bpm version that i am still occasionally playing these days.

Moloko – Sing it back (can7 1930s remix)

June 30, 2011

This is great interpretation of the Uber famous Moloko classic and its a song for all the people i know, that always complain about how it used to be better, that constantly talk about the good old days. First of i see young people, i mean real kids talking about the good old days…WTF? Well i got news for you… its all in your mind. Sure your body gets older, it accumulates wisdom & experineces as the mind does and you have an incredible privilege of seeing it all, of living it all – you have just grown tired of the your daily routines, had similar experiences over and over, you have become quick to judge on everything and that prevents you from seeing and experiencing every given moment. And then you complain, about the world instead of changing it within yourself. Well i like this song and if you intend to bring it back, you have to start with your own self and nobody else. Ps this is a great, great piano version, and something thats perfect to play when breaking down, not the music but the mood of the dance. Did it last weekend – people loved it… ah those were the days.. hahahaha

The Weeknd – “The Morning” (Music Video) / Rolling Stone / House of Ballons (album)

June 22, 2011

Torontos Weeknd has been making quite a ruckus recently, and everyone has their music playing, its a great thing to see good music get recognition and their mixtape – slash – album House of Balloons has been one of my favourites of 2011. This great video was done by high5collective from california and their motto is “We make music videos for artists that inspire us. Check in every couple weeks for a new video. Enjoy the art, bitches.” Great i can only support & respect that!

about HudMo

Hudson Mohawke is a scottish producer who made quite a bit of ruckus for himself and has constantly been pounding his way into my eardrums for the past 2 years. Too call his music this or that would be way too simple, any attempt to do so would significantly fil and labeling stuff is not how its done anymore. I figured it would be time to have a little roundup of some of my favourite tunes of his, since i seem to be addicted to the Lady Luck remix he just recently published. If you have never heard of him before (???), it must be a heavy rock…
