I remember seeing Brooklyn’s own Lovefingers closing a night with this record – It goes without saying that there is no need for pyrotechnics or any other shenanigans if you can throw on an impossible to find 400 dollar 70s-record like this as a farewell gesture… Holy Moses!

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.”

tracklist after the jump…
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!?!”
