Si bien por estas latitudes ya comienza a sentirse el frío, cada vez que escucho Caribbean Girl, nuevo 12" del lituano Mario Basanov, me dan ganas de desenroscarme la bufanda.

I'm Not Scared



Eighth Wonder, la banda pop de los hermanos Jamie y Patsy Kensit, tuvo mucho éxito a mediados de los 80s.
Algunos de sus hits fueron compuestos por la creme de los compositores de esa época. Entre ellos se encontraban Neil Tennant y Chris Love, mas conocidos como Pet Shop Boys, quienes les compusieron I'm Not Scared.
El tema tuvo un gran éxito, sobre todo en Italia, quizas haya sido por su sonido italo.
Aqui les dejo una gloriosa dub version del increible DJ y productor italiano SirBilly.

Bonus video :)

Foreign Affair + Veter Pisti



Balearic Biscuits (sublabel de Music For Dreams) edito en 2009 este fantástico EP con 3 reedits... ( reworks... remixes... ya no se como llamarlos) de Peter Visti, quien para la ocasión cambió de lugar un par de letras en su nombre y si se convirtió en Veter Pisti!
El lado A contiene un remix del "Fagget Fayrs" canción de la que no pude averiguar absolutamente nada.
El lado B tiene un edit de Being Boiled, original de Human League, y el tema que les dejo a continuación: una muy "baleárica" versión de Foreign Affair de Mike Oldfield, con unos pequeños toques de Mammagamma de Alan Parsons.

Freak!



El jamaiquino Tapper "Tappa" Zukie es reconocido internacionalmente por sus producciones de dancehall y dub durante la dècada del 70.
Sin embargo hay una rara avis en plan funk cosmico dentro de su discografìa que lo llevo a las discotecas europeas gracias a DJs como el legendario Danielle Baldelli.
Aquí va "Freak" en su versión instrumental.

Make it habit, make it happen.


A principios de los 80s la artista multimedia Lynn Goldsmith llamó a algunos amigos, entre los que se encontraban Nile Rodgers, Steve Winwood, y Sting, y bajo el pseudonimo Will Powers creó Dancing For Mental Health, un disco repleto de sintetizadores, funk y ...autoayuda!
Si bien el tono del disco es de parodia, las bases sobre las que "Will" nos da consejos son increibles.
Aquí les dejo uno de los singles extraídos del disco y su video, super vanguardista para su epoca, creado por el Instituto Tecnológico de New York.


Will Powers - Adventures In Success










------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the early 80s the multimedia artist Lynn Goldsmith called some friends (Nile Rodgers, Steve Winwood, and Sting amongst others) and, under the Will Powers alias, created Dancing For Mental Health, a record full of synths, funk and ...self-help!
Even though the record is kind of a parody, the basements on which "Will" gives us advice are incredible.
Here's Adventures In Success, one of the singles extracted from the album and its very avant garde video, directed by the Technological Institute of New York.

Mark E Works



Mark Evetts, mas conocido como, Mark E, viene haciendo los mas narcoticos edits desde hace ya 5 años.
La mayoria de sus trabajos han sido editados en 12" de edicion limitada y son, por consiguiente, no muy fáciles de conseguir.
Afortunadamente Merc, su propio label, acaba de editar un CD con una seleccion de sus tracks y edits editados entre 2005 a 2009.
El disco salio, una vez mas, en edición limitada pero aun se consigue.
Aquí va uno de sus temas.

Mark E - You (Full Vocal Mix)








---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark Evetts, also known as Mark E, has been producing the finest and more narcotic edits during the last 5 years. Most of his works have been released in very limited 12", and consequently they are very hard to get in many cases.
Fortunately Merc, his own label, has just released a CD and a 12" set with his most relevant works from 2005 to 2009. The release is , again, limited but you can still get one.
