FRESH FOOD FOR MY NEEDLES
what a highly satisfying shopping experience i had yesterday:
great new or really good older records from HHV and SPACE HONDA.
this is fresh in my box in a top 10 order:
10. "number one spot" rmx - ludacris feat. kardinal
an older track from april this year that i missed out on or that i maybe didn't like at the time. fine remix of ludacris' austin power track upgraded by some good rhymes of the almighty kardinal offishal.
09. "rompe" - daddy yankee
the king of the barrio, daddy yankee, ran out of gas eventually.
'rompe' is his brandnew banging, humping & pumping party track with a m.i.a.-esque break that keeps it away from the dull 'all-reggaeton-sounds-the-same' curse, great peak time track for everybody start running wild.
08. "mic check" juelz santana - marshall law d&b rmx
i got the original 'mic check' maxi for quite a while now but never really played it because it just can't beat my absolute juelz santana favourite 'the whistle song' which will actually gain quite a high position on my 2005 BEST OFs. this d&b remix though gives 'mic check' a whole new quality especially because of its surprisingly fresh and modern sounding drum & bass patterns (and the massive bassline for sure)
07. "bhangra vs. hip hop" - vinyl fetish japan
'wasn't this bhangra thingy supposed to be over with by now?' you might ask. yes, kind of - but this ep from somewhere in japan is just too hilarious. hysteric and real clubby it will cause laughter and mayhem on the dancefloor. i'm looking so much forward to play the usher 'yeah' rip off...
06. "set it off" - strafe
i confess! i have stolen this. not the actual record but the idea to play this track again: many thanks to simian mobile disco! you've brought me back to a time when i was only a little younger than the average clubber i'm playing for nowadays. a time when 'set it off' got played on the radio...in '84, '85 or something...BIG tune, lovin' it.
05. "everything is under control" - coldcut
coldcut is definitely not sleeping on current sounds&styles. the forfathers of everything electronic+hiphop+eclectic+cutsamplebreaks+beats+cool definitely still know their steez, great record.
04. "ska riddim" white - various grime mcs
typical grime 12" with a friendly ska intro and a whole army of mcs. fumin, bruza, doctor and and and? dunno, uplifting though.
03. "born again" - rebel mc
here we go again: rebel mc is also one of my old buddies from back in the days. he's born again, thanks for that, ol'rebel.
02. "tivoli" lp - stacs of stamina
it's really strange how some records get released in complete quiet.
no buzz, no hype, no convincing promotional effects whatsoever. stacs of stamina deserve better. go listen and buy. cool guys, same as radioclit btw. watch out, we will bring them out to berlin. we hope.
01.b"top shotta" - chase&status feat. riko, trim + scratchy
01.a"duppy man" - chase&status feat. capleton
wooha - value for money! by one record, play both sides!
this does not happen so often, usually i buy a 12" for this one song
i have to play, no matter what else is on there. the chase&status 12" on breakbeat kaos is a double a-sider, both tracks with massive basslines, equally good...
and now you can't wait to listen to all that?
no problem. you know where to go.
09/12/05 subway - cologne
10/12/05 grimetime - berlin
more on this tomorrow. g'night.
