So Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper, and Mar­vin Isley really made a proper song to fin­ish a good night of dj’ing. And yes, they’re of Isley Broth­ers fame. There were some cre­ative dif­fer­ences within that super­group which led to form­ing of Isley Jasper Isley in 1984.

+ I love handclaps.

Young MC with a clas­sic (and happy) funky rap hit for these (and those) nasty hot sum­mer days:

“…1989 sin­gle by the rap­per Young MC. It won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rap Per­for­mance. It appeared on his album Stone Cold Rhymin’ and was his biggest hit, reach­ing #7 on the Bill­board Hot 100 and top­ping the charts in Aus­tralia. The song fea­tured guest vocals by Crys­tal Blake and bass gui­tar by Red Hot Chili Pep­pers bassist Flea, both of who also appeared in the video. The song has been fea­tured in count­less tele­vi­sion pro­grams and films.” –Wikipedia

One of my favourites. Bust a move and enjoy!

The Rah Band — Elec­tric Fling (320 kbps)

Fea­tured on the Slow Motion Disco vol.1, Elec­tric Fling was first released as 7″ in 1978. Behind the band was multi-instrumentalist / arranger Richard Hew­son who worked together with Her­bie Han­cock, Fleet­wood Mac, Diana Ross, Art Gar­funkel, Chris Rea and Al Stew­art to name a few. Some­what skweeeish track imho.

Btw. There’s an ongo­ing cam­paign at Funky Town Grooves. Head there for huge may sale and grab a few cd’s. These remas­tered albums are nor­mally quite pricey (13€ and more) so 3.49£ is a bargain.

The Gap Band — You’re So Cute (320k)

Shoulda have posted this already last sum­mer like I was plan­ning to. Oh well and what­ever. Life goes in cycles they say. Is that meant to be under­stood so that some­times you’ll lose some good things, and some­times you’ll find some good things? Oh so obvi­ous, phew? Any­ways, I’ll be repeat­ing myself from last autumn: “Hmmm. Am I going out this week­end, and if so, am I going to drink alco or cof­fee — and should I also try to pick up on women?” Ain’t got no thing any­more so it should be quite obvi­ous. It’ll be two days of play­ing records for pos­si­bly the most drunken stu­dent crowds of the year. It’s the few days before 1st of May that are times of heavy cel­e­bra­tion for finnish students.

Me being such a lazy boy some­times and not forc­ing myself to check if this is a fact or not — but any­ways — I do think this cut is an exclu­sive for orig­i­nal sound­track album “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”. Movie’s Directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans.

So the com­ing week­end… On thurs­day I’ll be play­ing some nu-discoish/house/techno/something in between of those — here (flyer for the event):

On fri­day (and of course thurs­day also) hope­fully like this. On fri­day I might be slip­ping towards electro-house and dub­step, basicly what­ever “rocks the party”, “bangs”, “slams” and so on. 4x4 ftw, though.
