There is much discussion nowadays on how much protection should be granted to the holders of Intellectual Property (IP). Most of the discussion focuses on balancing the public good (the progress of humanity) and individual financial reward. In the context of music, the most vocal critics of IP theft are those artists that are currently at the top of their game. The ones who are in the charts this year...

Black Box - I Dont Know Anybody Else (Beat Machine Extended 2008 Mix) Very true to the original, a little bit faster with some updated beats and breaks. It lasts an eternity though, I would play an edited version if I had to use it. Funky Chicos - Funky Town (Chris Decay Remix) Once again a classic (some would say generic) elektro remix, some vocal sampling, but it mostly samples the melody, the rest...
MFSB's 1975 record, Love Is The Message , probably the most beloved and enduring classic of the Harlem ballroom scene , is the track that Madonna logically went to for samples when she coopted the vogueing phenomenon in 1990. Even today, 33 years after its release, when you hear Love Is The Message in a NYC club, you'd better stand back, lest you get run over when the strutting starts. MFSB (which...
Noise Factory – The Fire OK this tune serves at least three purposes here: It is a fantastic hardcore tune with huge full-on hoovers, chipmunked vocal samples from Fleetwood Mac and Loleatta Holloway, Amen breaks and some massive bass. What more do you need? It nicely illustrates the jump from ‘ardcore to jungle that I mentioned above. This tune came out earlier the same year as Breakage #4 but listen...
So, hand foot and mouth disease, not really the worst thing ever. Everyone's pale, sniffling, and has a stomachache and a sore throat, but that's about it. Home is getting boring, though. I set the Thomas train set up in...
A sunnyish Sunday afternoon in East London last weekend for the Brick Lane Music Festival, with lots of free music across local bars and clubs. On the way we saw Gilbert and George standing on their doorstep, and checked out the magnificent new Rough Trade store. Hundreds of people were sitting outside curry houses in Brick Lane eating their lunch. But the main event for us was Norman Jay at the Big...
These fifteen ‘Daily Digs’ offer choice selections from some of the most successful R&B, funk and soul artists of the past century. From the high-energy R&B of James Brown and Prince to the melded funk and psychedelia of Parliament and Sly & The Family Stone, these selections are not just rewarding, but essential. Also included [...]
. Loleatta Holloway was born in Chicago, Illinois in November 1946, and began her career singing gospel music with the Queen of Gospel, Albertina Walker and the Caravans. In 1976 she began singing on disco productions (mainly on Salsoul Records), and was responsible for some classics like "Love Sensation" or "Relight My Fire" by Dan Hartman. In 1984, Holloway left Salsoul Records and began to work...
Oh, how I love Black Music Month. You're more likely to stumble across a song or vintage music you've never seen on television. Also, there’s no end of amazing documentaries to be seen, sometimes on channels you might not expect. Case in point, Soul Deep, a six-part BBC series that I managed to catch on [...]
