Mix by Japan­ese turntable vir­tu­oso DJ Sniff. Techno tracks played at 33rpm + var­i­ous hip-hop cuts. The guy is per­form­ing at Äänen Lumo –fes­ti­val (Charm of Sounds), Helsinki this sat­ur­day together with David Toop. Don’t know exactly what to expect but should be interesting.

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!

Roskow & Dj Runex — 1983 (MP3 — 320kbps — 32:37min — 74,66Mb)

Finally got down and lis­tened this through, and oh boy, isn’t it just the way I like ‘em to be! Rap/electro/electro-funk with some boo­gie & freestyle cuts thrown in seam­lessly. All from the 80s — and to be exact from 1983. Expect drum machines, syn­the­siz­ers, and seri­ous grooves. Kudos to Ionik of Trav­eller Records & Kojak Giant Sounds blog who uploaded this gem orig­i­nally.

Uhh. Italo-like beat + “raps” + scratches + “funky” breaks that work sur­pris­ingly well in this con­text. The emo­tive female vocals long­ing for love and the main synth melody really make this track stand out. Again a top heater from one euro bins which has been proven true by peo­ple danc­ing to this with a feel­ing. The group’s from Spain, I think. Known also as Rebeldes Sin Pausa. Can you say Euro Disco?
