Whodini – Rap Machine (320) (mediafire)
Been enjoying the new Mesak LP which is out now on Harmönia. Listen to the teaser here. Buy the vinyl and you’ll get 320 kbps mp3 download for free. That’s the way to do it, I like it.

Whodini is surely one of my favorite rap-groups of the eighties. Here’s a track which could be filed under “proto skweee”. Or perhaps we should ask what the pioneers think of that.

More Christmas presents. Muddyloop are giving away free album in glorious 320 kbps quality. Yam. This is what they said about it:

“Six years ago we wrote and produced an instrumental chillout album called “The Loverider Series” that got signed to a record label. The label ended up shelving the album due to distribution problems so the release never got to see the light of day. Finally unearthed from the vault and specially presented for you for the first time ever, its Muddyloop’s lost album. The 11 tracks showcase an early Muddyloop soundscape of chilled quirky beats with an electro-eightiesness…”

Go here for the download.

…for last week. Bit late, bit late. I am bad, I am bad.

This one’s by Datassette from a live gig at Plex, London in 4th of September 2009. Electro-funk, space disco, electro etc. Some special bits of remixes by the man himself too! But unfortunately no tracklist.

You should definitely check his blog and especially the downloads for some good stuff.

Track #4 of the KynyNasty Vol. 1  is the b-side of Find The Time 12″/7″ and what an awesome track it is! Perhaps my favorite find this year (the 7″ was just sitting there on my shelf, waiting to be founded).

Five star were a group of five siblings with their father as their manager. Their fame peaked in 1986 as Find The Time was released.

The lead track is pure 80s pop/r&b but Sky is pure 80s electro/synth-pop in the likeness of Paul Hardcastle’s production. Seriously, I’m out of words on this one. Hidden gem.

Five Star – Sky (320)

Hello! I am expanding my mind as we speak. I’ve now settled in to my new apartment in Hasselt, Belgium where I’m going to live for the next 4-6 months. Anyways I’m off to Amsterdam tomorrow. Hopefully (definitely) some record digging at local flea markets and second-hand stores and maybe some local “deli” too. I’ll try to post the rest of the mix at least track per every second day.

Track #3 off the KynyNasty Vol. 1. Expansions ‘86 is a collaboration of David Joseph and Chris Paul. DJ Chris Paul is man of many aliases and roles (DJ, Producer, Remixer, Promoter, Writer, Composer, pro piano player, sax player). Experienced professional indeed but I think his website is still living in the past. Maybe not a classic like You Can’t Hide Your Love (which Ian Pooley turned into deep house jam, nice) but still good.
