This post turned out to be much more of a hassle than I thought. So I picked up this MCA double 12" promo yesterday. I checked online and found a CD rip of my favorite track, the Mateo & Matos Dub, to post. The file, which came from an official Femi compilation, was faster than the 12" version and had some vocals in it. My rip was 9:10, just like the label said it would be (and I ripped it on 33 with the pitch set to zero), but it was only 115 bpm and sounded odd compared to the 126 bpm cd rip and the vocal version of the same mix. At this point I was pretty annoyed so I tried it on 45 to check, but that sounded totally crazy. So I ripped it at +8 and now it sounds just like Mateo & Matos' other versions. I'll chalk it up to a pain in the ass pressing error. I better play this a lot at Apothecary.
Also, if you're in the Philadelphia area, Femi's playing at World Cafe Live in June.

I've been a fan of Dollar Bill Jams for a while now. A constant stream of inspiration and surprise.
I also run a music blog - http://leftside-wobble.blogspot.com/ - hard to describe but it kind of attempts to join the dots between dub, disco and house by publishing a new mix every week or so.
I've just added you to my bloglist and if you enjoy what you see and hear at Leftside Wobble I'd love it if you could return the favour.
