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

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

The Movits!

The Movits! are a southern jazz / swing horn-ensemble / big band form Sweden of all places, that i have found out about just yesterday, thx to our YUM YUM top tunes group on facebook – and their music has a great uplifting feel and a slight bizarre touch not least bc of their swedish vocals. Perfect fun filled music, just the kind of sound we call YUM YUM music over here. The guys have two Albums out so far, one from 2008 and one from this year and after listening to both yesterday night, i cannot make up my mind which one to recommand more. Here are two excerts – one from each album + a video so that you get a picture of their swinging goofiness. Ps They have even played on the Colbert Report before.
