Philly folks - please check me out this weekend! Robotique is on Friday as usual at Kung Fu Necktie and on Sunday night I am playing a special 3+ hour late night set at Pure. See you in the mix!

Self Hypnosis

I ripped this from the bootleg pictured above. Anybody out there holding a 320 CD rip?

Had To

Since the second I saw Apt One posted A Track off of "The Tough Man Soundtrack" all i could think of is the bangin break two songs later on the Lp titled "Run Fay Run" . Don't get me wrong "Hung Up On My Baby" is the joint and good look Apt One for that 320 rip! But i feel an obligation to my b-boys and B-girl colleagues to drop this one for the funk heads. Enjoy!

Fantastic tune from a fantastic record that I gripped up for yes, a dollar. Run Fay Run is the jam too.

You probably know this jawn as the sample source for the Geto Boys classic My Mind's Playin Tricks On Me. Just so happens that once upon a time the bol Skinny made a nice intro edit of this.

Some 80s Soul

So it's my first post on the blog and I gotta thank Apt One, Shawn Ryan, and everyone else on the blog for having me on board. For those who don't know me, my name's Deep Sang, I'm a DJ in DC and have been in the game for just shy of a decade. My favorite shit is classic disco so I'm gonna be posting a lot of that, but also gonna try to mix it up.

I've been listening to a lot of 80s soul tracks the last few days so I thought I'd post up some of them for my first contribution.

First up is a great boogie tune by Dunn and Bruce Street called "Shout for Joy." Dunn Pearson has an impressive catalog through the 70s and 80s including one of my favorite instrumental disco jams, Groove On Down. I may have to post that one another time. There's a 12" of Shout For Joy too, but the lp is a pretty solid listen as a whole.

Next is a really nice cut by Clausel called "Let Me Love You." This is a pretty tough one to track down and my copy is kinda beat, but still sounds decent. Pretty sure my man Fox 50 at 100limousines.com would call this one a STRONG SONG. Listen to this one at night.

I first heard this next one on Jake One's killer AR mix series. It was a stand out to me and I never knew what it was until I was digging one day and came across the lp with this joint tucked away towards the end of the a side. Love when that happens.


Shadow - Hot City | Divshare | YSI | 320 kbps

The last two are tracks by well known known artists that I think are a little overlooked. Everyone plays Kano's "I'm Ready," but I've only heard one dj in DC drop "Can't Hold Back"... Chris Burns at his excellent monthly Disco City. This track is so dope.


Kano - Can't Hold Back (Your Loving) | Divshare | YSI | 320 kbps

Finally a simple groover by D Train. This is a b side cut on the Walk On By 12". I used to play this one in warm up sets back before serato but I don't think I've played it since. Now that I've ripped it I think it's gonna find it's way back into rotation.

Zig Zag Zig We Don't Fuck Wit No Pig

"I heard Boar's Head kill more nigga than nuclear warheads" (RZA) . I spin parties now and then where a track like this puts the room on 10 instantly. This is off of Tony Touch's "The Piece Maker" LP from 2000. I just like playing this song and its pretty slept as well, so enjoy.

I C'n Hear That

A few months ago, on a digging expedition, I came across a test pressing of George Duke's 1976 album Liberated Fantasies. This is the first track on the second side... a serious jazz-funk groove. Duke don't mess around.

Atack with the Mack

Mike B posted this track a year or two back and when my computer was stolen this mp3 went with it. So I dug up a copy and here it is for your downloading enjoyment. This is Armand Van Helden's version of Puff Daddy's "It's All About The Benjamins". I should also let you know that only five hundred of these were ever pressed so it is quite the find! Check It izz-out.

Come chill out to some more deep grooves tonight at Chifa (707 Chestnut St.), where Mike Mesa and I will be spinning in the downstairs lounge. We've gone by a couple times to check the place out and ended up sticking around for hours because we love the vibe...and the beer is so cheap. Also, I'm really looking forward to trying some (or all) of the $5 latenight menu.

The More I Get The More I Want

Motherfuckin Teddy Pendergrass. Loverman with a bit of a creepy "screaming angrily at bitches to rub him with burning hot oils" persona going on.

This is a PHENOMENAL JAM from his first post-Harold Melvin solo joint. The self titled one pictured above with the SCARF like whoa.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (DJ Apt One Remix)

I would have put this out there in a more timely fashion but this one took a lot of work and I wanted to get it right. I replayed the majority of the instruments then at about 3:25 it just goes off the deep end.

RIP MJ

Who's In the House

I came across this obscure Bmore 12" for $1 in Connecticut recently. The Ate-Ize imprint appears to be an old Unruly subsidiary. It's all about Karizma's filter house remix.

This just in... DBJ's very own Apt One is playing with Booman this Saturday in Bmore...

Sneak for sure

Here is another installment of my trip to Delaware. I was hoping while I was looking through the collection that I would find this joint and there it was. This is a ill filter house joint from '96 I love to play out and I hope you will to. By the way I have not dug through the whole collection yet so there will be more to come. Enjoy yo!

Superprince II

Peter Dragontail and I are very proud to present you with the newest installment in the Superprince saga. It's already received some love from Philadelphia's 5151, Chicago's Cream Team & Indianapolis' Heavy Gun. Here's the story...

After hibernating through another cold Philadelphia winter, Superprince has awakened once again for a summer of block parties, drives to the Jersey shore & waking up in strange places. Good times lie ahead, but first we must take the proper precautions to make the summer of 09 legendary. You may need to get your bike tuned up. You may be on the market for a sexy new bathing suit. You may need another part-time job to support your iced coffee habit. Superprince can't help you with any of this. Superprince has however spent his winter distilling the perfect blend of upbeat summer songs for barbeques, beach trips, romance, etc. Follow the download links below to prepare yourself for impending summer joy.

Giving Up, Giving In

Apologies for the tainted artwork, but for the sake of accuracy this was the only pic of the U.S. 12" I could find, and I don't have a camera. In any event, this is disco daggering at its most intense, Philly soul meets Moroder chug.

Azul y Negro - La Noche (Pitched Down)

Another Robotique favorite!

This tune has the uncanny ability to consistently pack dance floors, despite being relatively unknown by most casual partygoers. Maybe it's the brilliantly brainless message contained within the chorus, but something about its dated brassy synth patches, reverberated electronic snare and janky arpeggios resonates someplace within the collective unconscious of our generations' dance freaks. It's like a switch goes off telling the brian, "This sounds like it's from the '80s! Even if you don't know it, you know it...now MOVE!"

Again, much like Change - The End, this tune grooves way deeper and harder when pitched down from its original, blistering 135 Bpm.

So let's spend the night together, let's work the night together.
Let's go night clubbing right now, now, now now...
