Caribbean Girl



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.

Mario Basanov - Caribbean Girl







---------------------------------------------

Even though we're starting to feel cold in these latitudes, every time I listen Caribbean Girl, the Lithuanian Mario Basanov's new 12", I untie my scarf.

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.

Eighth Wonder, the pop group formed by the brothers Jamie y Patsy Kensit, had huge success during the second half of the 80s. Some of their hits were composed by the creme of the songwtters of that time. One of them was the duo formed by Neil Tennant y Chris Love, better known as Pet Shop Boys. They wrote I'm Not Scared. The song was a big hit, mostly in Italy, maybe because of its Italo-esque sound
Here's a glorious dub version made by the always awesome DJ and producer

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!

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.

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)

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!



---------------------------------------------------------

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.
