Ben & Platano Group - Arte Pino Pasta (3:58)(from Dusty Groove)"Very nice reissue of this totally rare album of funky instrumentals by a lost Parisian combo with a tight choppy guitar sound, and a nice dope organ/keyboard groove. In their best moments, the group has a bit of a War sound -- with a slow, stripped-down approach to their funk, and heavy Latin lines on the bass and keyboards. At other times, the groove's a bit more uptempo, with tight guitar riffs, and loud horn bl...

Marcos Valle - The Essential Marcos Valle [Vol 1]
2007-11-27 16:12:00
Marcos Valle - The Essential Marcos Valle [Vol 1]Label - Mr. BongoRecorded - 1995Style - Brazilian, Samba , Lee Library , Bossa , Jazz , Funk (From liner notes)Marcos Valle is a composer, arranger and singer from Rio, Brasil. This compilation covers his Samba 68 work, right up to his early 80s material. He was responsible for popularising bossa in the US, and struck gold with the "Samba 68" LP, from which the anthemic "Crickets Sing For Anamaria" (Jazz Juice 2) was taken. In the 60s bossa nova was isolated by the intellectualism of cariocas like Edu Lobo appealing to the middle class. Valle brought bossa to the masses, with protest songs talking about democracy "Democustico" and poverty in the language of the North.His wife Anamaria features on "Ele E Ela" and "Proton Electron Neutron". Inspired by his love Marcus wrote these duets where they try to outdo each other in vocal refrains. "Os Grilos" and "Mentira" will appeal to dancers. Valle the improviser created "Nao Tem Nada Nao" and "...

Marcos Valle - The Essential Marcos Valle [Vol 2]Label - Mr. BongoReleased - 1996Style - Brazilian, Lee Library , Instrumentals, Latin , Samba , Bossa, Jazz , Funk (from liner notes)The second collection of essential recordings of Brasilian superstar, Marcos Valle. Compiled by Joe Davis & Kevin Beedle. It chronicles the choice instrumentals and song-based sambas which earned Valle a reputation as the leading light of 60s samba.(review from Dusty Groove)Amazing! One of our favorite records of all time! We totally love the work of Marcos Valle -- and we can honestly say that he's probably our favorite Brazilian artist ever. Valle had an incredible musical vision, and he was one of those rare Brazilian talents -- like Edu Lobo or Egberto Gismonti -- who would forever change the face of music with his unique concepts. This set includes some of Valle's best-ever work -- much of it long out of print and never properly reissued before. The groove begins with bossa nova, moves into baroque pop...

Let's Go, Techno!
2007-11-13 21:49:00
"OriginsOriginating in the United States, techno was primarily developed by "The Belleville Three", a cadre of men who were attending college, at the time, near Detroit , Michigan. The budding musicians, former high school friends and mix tape traders Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson,[7] found inspiration in Midnight Funk Association, an eclectic, 5-hour, late-night radio program hosted on various Detroit radio stations including WCHB, WGPR, and WJLB-FM from 1977 through the mid-1980s by DJ Charles "The Electrifying Mojo" Johnson. Mojo's show featured heavy doses of electronic sounds from the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream alongside the funk of Parliament and the new wave sounds of the B-52s.Techno has since been retroactively defined to encompass, among others, works dating back to "Shari Vari" (1981) by A Number Of Names, the earliest compositions by Cybotron (1981), Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder's "I Feel Love" (1977), "From Here to Eter...

Black Ark
2007-11-06 22:54:00
"The Black ArkThe Black Ark was the recording studio of legendary reggae and dub producer Lee "Scratch " Perry , located in the yard of his family's home in the Washington Gardens neighborhood of Kingston , Jamaica . Although the studio itself was somewhat rudimentary in its set-up and particularly basic with regard to some of the dated equipment employed by Perry, it was nonetheless the breeding ground for some of Jamaica's (and arguably the world's) most innovative sounds and recording techniques in the latter half of the 1970s.Innovative musical techniquesAn example of Lee Perry's inventive style was his ability to overdub layers of sound effects and instrumentation on each recording track of a basic 4-track machine, with such precise timing and in such a way that the resulting sound would destroy the competition from Jamaica's other top producers using the latest 16-track mixing consoles. Perry once buried microphones at the base of a palm tree and thumped it rhythmically to pr...

Dark & Deadly Dubs. A Dubstep mix.
2007-11-01 14:10:00
Sorry I'm really busy with a million things this week and probably most of next week, so I don't have any regular posts like I normally have on thursday/friday. But I did just recently finished a new mix. It's Dubstep, which is what I've been listening to alot lately. For those who don't know, Dubstep is sorta the latest genre craze in the UK and beyond - that sounds cheezy but it's for good reason. It combines the sounds of Dancehall, Reggae, Dub, Industrial, Metal, Breakbeat and elements of Jungle and it's such a relatively new format that it hasn't been completely exploited by the major labels yet. So its a very 'fresh' sound; there are more and more new and young Dubstep producers popping up daily it seems - and each one brings their own special mutation to the table. It's reminiscent to me of the energy of the original Jungle scene back in 1994 when everyone was experimenting with different sounds and tempos and production styles. So yeah - grab the mix and meditate ...

Fernando Gelbard - El Senor Mayor (9:04)3. Fernando Gelbard - Mojo Uno (2:02)4. Fernando Gelbard - Alevacolariea (5:42)5. Fernando Gelbard - Sombrero De Flores (7:27)6. Fernando Gelbard - Chau, Ambrosio (5:37)(from Dusty Groove)A sweet set of mellowly funky keyboard jazz from Argentinian pianist Fernando Gelbard! This dream of an album was recorded in the mid 70s -- and features Gelbard playing Fender Rhodes and moog with a lively backing combo. Tracks are long, all original, and have a laidback groove that makes the album a warm and spectacular treat. Percussion is strong on a few numbers, and a few other tracks feature a bit of sax -- but the real focus is on Gelbard's keyboard work, which is mellow and and very soulful. Tracks include "Chau Ambrosio", "Alevacolariea", "Hola Didi", and "El Senor Mayor".downloadinfoCurious Musi...

This is one of the all-time Brazilian jazz classics of the 60's -- and one of the most sought after bossa albums ever! Pianist Tenorio Jr leads a crack ensemble through some fantastic tracks -- as warm and soulful as they are tight and angular, a perfect summation of the bossa jazz idiom at its truest expression! The writing is fantastic throughout -- and the album includes loads of great numbers -- including the famous "Nebulosa", instantly recognizable from a sample used by ...
