DJ Brainchild – 10 Year Letter: An Aaliyah Anniversary + Tribute Mix

Already 10 years went by since one of the greatest R&B singers of all time passed away. DJ Brainchild now comes up with a tribute mix and here`s what he has to say:

“I was a very big fan of Aaliyah, and I always wonder what she would’ve gone on to accomplish had she not been taken from us so early. To pay tribute to her memory and the music she left us with, I put together this mix which features many of Aaliyah’s biggest singles as well as album cuts, remixes, b-sides, guest appearances, and soundtrack contributions.”

Ms Dynamite – Neva Soft (Video)

This lady has been my favourite rudegirl ever since i first heard her in 2003 (no not on Fifa 03). Loved her entire first album and almost everything ever since, including remixes. What an impressive and tasteful journey she has been on for the last 7 years. September 4th sees the release of her new single and she has truly neva been soft all those years, and has through her releases always been a steady indicator of where the urban Uk sound was at. If you live in the Uk you probably disagree, but from this side of the channel it pretty much looks like it and i salute her new material. Always tasteful, yet rugged even when intentionally trashy but dead on. And from what the Schlachthof Bronx guys told me the last time we met at the airport, where they just came back from Sonar and saw her live: “No one ever told us she was that hot!?!”

Higher & Higher – Jackie Wilson (YUM YUM edit)

Your Love keeps lifting me higher & higher. Summers back, and while being in the mood for some sunny music i came across this Jackie Wilson classic, so i did this little re-edit this morning. will surely play it out the next time i hit the tables, but this weekend we all djs here at chromemusic have off, so have fun with this track and its summery, positive vibes, especially if your gf is called mary jane. Too bad stuff like this is not being played on the radio anymore these days. …hmm, not really, who cares about radio anyway? And thats exactly the reason why
