Digging KZA

El japones KZA, miembro de Force Of Nature y famoso por su extensa colección de discos, edito a fines de 2009 su opera prima llamada Dig And Edit , disco en el cual compila algunos de sus trabajos lanzados anteriormente en EPs de edición ultra limitada mas algunos estrenos.
Los tracks están claramente basados en samples o melodías de otras canciones, aunque siempre con producción adicional cortesía de Kuniyuki.
Aquí va el tema que cierra el disco, una especie de versión lenta del hipnótico clásico de Severed Heads: Dead Eyes Opened.
Buen viaje!

KZA - Open Up (Slow Version)



-------------------------------------------
Japanese producer, half of Force Of Nature and well known by his huge record collection, KZA released at the end of 2009 his debut album named Dig And Edit. The record compiles some of his previous works, only available in ultra limited EPs plus some new ones.
The tracks are clearly based on samples and melodies from other songs, although in all of them there's some additional production courtesy of Kuniyuki.
Here's the closing track. A kind of slow version of the Severed Heads classic Dead Eyes Opened.
Have a good trip!

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.

Mike Oldfield - Foreign Affair (Veter Pisti Edit)



--------------------------------------------
In 2009 Music For Dreams' sub-label Balearic Biscuits released a fantastic EP containing 3 reedits... (reworks...? remixes...? you name it) done by Peter Visti, who swapped a pair of letters in his name to become Veter Pisti for the ocasion!.
Side A contains a remix of "Fagget Fayrs", a totally unknown track for me (feel free to enlighten me in the comments ares :)
Side B has an edit of Human League's Being Boiled, and the track I am posting: a "balearified" version of Mike Oldfield's Foreign Affair with some tiny Alan Parson's Mammagamma interventions.

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.

Tappa Zukie - Freak (Instrumental)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though Jamaican Tapper "Tappa" Zukie is well known for his dancehall and dub productions during the 70s, there's a cosmic funk rarity in his discography that put him in the European dancefloors thanks to DJs such as Danielle Baldelli.
Here's Freak in its instrumental version.

Privat just posted my edit of Carlos Cutaia's Operativo.

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.

Albatros Extravaganza

Toto Cutugno es un reconocido cantautor italiano.
Su primer proyecto, y por el cual se hizo conocido, se llamó Albatros.
La música de Albatros va desde el disco hasta las baladas épicas y cinematográficas influenciadas por el maestro Morricone.
Les dejo a continuación varios temas sacados de la reedicion en CD de su unico album llamado Volo AZ 504 editada hace unos años.
Presten especial atención a Stop Stop Violence, especie de proto acid cuya edición en vinillo es toda una rareza.

Albatros - Volo AZ 504



Albatros - Stop Stop Violence



Albatros - Africa (Albatros)



Albatros - Gran Premio



Albatros - Private Collection (Part 1)



Y como bonus aquí va la presentación de Volo Az 504, su primer hit, en el festival de San Remo ... épico!



---------------------------------------------------------
Toto Cutugno is a famous Italian songwriter and singer
His first project was called Albatros and put him in the map.
Albatros music goes from disco to epic Morricone influenced ballads.
Here´s a bunch of tunes extracted from a recent CD reissue of their only album called Volo AZ 504.
Please check specially "Stop Stop Violence", a kind of proto acid rarity.
... and as a bonus here's the presentation of their first hit, Volo AZ 504, in the San Remo festival in 1976.
Epic!

I ♥ House (1)

A mediados de 2009 el infalible label Whatever We Want editó una bomba house/balearic llamada Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets) firmada por House Of House, un duo compuesto por Saheer Umar y Liv Spencer (Still Going). El disco, de edición ultra limitada, se agoto a los pocos dias.
Afortunadamente a solo una semana del fin de 2009 HOH lo re edito de forma independiente y se dio el lujo de poner en su lado B un tremendo remix a cargo de DJ Harvey, el cual les dejo a continuación.


House Of House - Rushing to Paradise (Walkin' These Streets) (DJ Harvey Streets Mix)



El disco aun se consigue en Juno (ya se agotó en Phonica). Cómprenlo ahora o gasten una fortuna dentro de 10 anos.

----------------------------------------------------------------
In the mid 2009, the flawless Whatever We Want label released a house/balearic bomb called Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets) signed by House Of House, a duo formed by Saheer Umar and Liv Spencer of Still Going. The record, which had an ultra limited pressing, went out of stock in few days.
Fortunately, just one week before the end of 2009, HOH re released the record independently with a luxury item in its B Side: an awesome remix from DJ Harvey.
The 12" is still availlable in Juno (went out of stock in Phonica). Hurry up and buy it now or be prepared to spend a fortune in 10 years.
