YUM YUM Top Tunes February 2012

it has been a while. we were busy building our own club, i mean literally, doing construction work. and then we opened the club very, very low key and now its time to spread the word time after time and bit by bit. so sincere apologies for not coming up with the list earlier, but we are back on track and expect a brand new top tunes list of current YUM YUM favourites every first friday of the month. so i sincerely hope you like this months selection, which i could have made even longer, but i figured more is less, as always. so enjoy this months selection! Just in time for tomorrows YUM YUM  in our very own spot!

more YUM YUM Top Tunes after the jump…

Kate and Janelle – Star Witness (Neko Case cover)

This live cover version was recorded last december in the stairwell of a famed canadian high schools in peterborough, canada. Some bureaucratic canadian authority (committee) chose to close the one school that focuses on unique arts. Here are two graduates from that school performing a song and giving support to their fight to keep their school open. The finer things in life are the first to go, when the rich start losing money. Don’t let them close down schools – Support them here – http://peterboroughneedspcvs.com/

I honestly think, that if these talented young girls were to put their songs on kickstarter in a form of a cd or download, they could raise a whole lot of money, if not for their cause, then at least for their fight. And i would love to put one of your songs on my Sweet Serenade Mixtapes, which i will.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful a youtube comment said it best: “I can’t stop listening to this, or even watching it. These two girls are beyond beautiful. You can feel everything, even if you don’t know what it is you’re feeling. Even the smile exchanges that they share make this song that much more beautiful. There’s nothing like finding new music like this, you wonder how you went your whole life before without it. To think how lost you’d feel if someone were to just take it away tomorrow!I”

Well no need to feel lost, once you have heard it you can’t unhear it :)  Enjoy this tune

more songs by these two beautiful ladies – brownmeadowbird on youtube

a very, very long … musical roundup :)

i have been off the radar for a minute, building our own venue, i mean proper handywork and figuring out the feel of things, not too much the style at first, but the soul is something that eminates from within in my humble opinion, so i was worrying about the feel of things and i think i pointed it into the right direction, and now the ship sets sail, which means i have a lot of catching up to do on my very own website and thats why this is gonna be a long, long post. there are tons of sounds & tunes around me, so let me sum up a few for you which havent yet made it up on our website.

Glory - Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter

great little gem by jigga. soul samples + jigga = a win/win. Glory – Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter by Warhol2011

Great Lake Swimmers - Easy Come Easy Go (Radio Edit)

a brandnew song by one of my favourite bands – the great lake swimmers. more G L Swimmers on chromemusic. Great Lake Swimmers – Easy Come Easy Go (Radio Edit) by nettwerkmusicgroup

Amsterdam Klezmer Band - Papa Chajes (Basement Freaks Remix)

nothing new if you are used to balkanstylee – just worth mentioning cause its got that bump

Eddie Kendricks - "Keep On Truckin' (Robin "T" Treier Mix)"

Robin, a good friend of the entire family and great mind when it comes to taste and style did his rework of this soul anthem, thats more like a oldies radio favourite these days. Robin gave it that essential spin. i like  Eddie Kendricks – “Keep On Truckin’ (Robin “T” Treier Mix)” by Robin “T” Treier

Yasmin ft Shy FX & Ms Dynamite - 'Light Up (The World)'

Any track with Ms dynamite on, will make it on this site, and this video here, produced by veteran shy fx, starts properly at 2:22 as soon as Ms D steps on the scene :) Yasmin ft Shy FX & Ms Dynamite – ‘Light Up (The World)’ from Denitsa Dimitrova on Vimeo.

YUM YUM Top Tunes November

Top Tunes are coming a bit late this month – we had our 7th anniversary this month and we kept busy doing these 8 bday mixtapes for you as well as the new YUM YUM Mixtape “The Dude”. Plus we had some issues with our servers (were under attack) and took us some time to figure that out, but its all good now, you just need to empty your browsers cache or wait for it to be gone in a few. So, hope you dont mind us being late. but here you go with this months Top Tunes Selection. Enjoy
