I have been digging this Basement Boys edit of Donna Summer's "Bad Girls". I love the original but this is a nice change and it's easy to mix in. Enjoy!

DJ Apt One's TSWP April Top 10

This has been a hell of a month at Elena's in West Philly. JJC and I are rolling with our new Monday and so far it has been a very disco and vocal house affair, thanks to an amazing core crowd, some of whom were deep into the post-Paradise Garage scene in Newark and New York in the 1980s onward.

Tech Support was an incredible affair - the spot was packed to the gills. Kenny Raw played a funk set that pretty much made my jaw hit the floor. I knew maybe a half dozen of his tunes over the course of his set but the crowd was going bananas for it. The night ended with a 10+ minute near-dance-riot to Fela Kuti's Zombie - the bouncer was looking over my shoulder like "when is this song gonna end?" but there was never a good time to fade it out - people were through the roof with every breakdown. God bless West Philadelphia.

We recorded a portion of the night and hopefully I'll be able to post that at some point.

The following is a list of tracks that have been killin it at Elena's over the course of the past month. Most of these are tracks I've been dropping, but there are a few that I've heard Kenny and JJC play, including the numero uno joint - an original tape edit / cover / mashup from the 80s by Clubhouse. I've had some requests to start a TSWP podcast, and if I have time to do that I will, but in lieu of that, here's a list of that good good that's been pumping through the speakers.

With the exception of the Mr. Matawe track and the Clubhouse track, all these songs are easily available for purchase - the older ones through Amazon and the newer ones through Beatport and such. Go grab em, and support great music!

Just a reminder, JJC and I are at Elena's every Monday night, no cover. Tech Support occurs maybe once or twice irregularly throughout the year. Elena's Soul is at 4912 Baltimore Avenue in West Philly. From the other side of the Schuylkill, take the 34 trolley to 49th.

1. Clubhouse - Superstition/Good Times
2. King Britt f/ Byron Stingily - Get Up (King Britt's Old School Dub)
3. Fela Kuti - Zombie
4. Flying Fish - Mr. Matawe
5. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - Bad Luck
6. RCMP - Mustache Love (Original Mix)
7. Pirupa - Get Funky
8. Sister Sledge - Lost In Music (12" Mix)
9. DJ Sneak - You Can't Hide From Your Bud (A-Trak Mix)
10. Salsoul Orchestra - Ooh I Love It (Love Break)

Bonus, Number 11:

The Funk Brothers - Tell Me It's Just a Rumour (Inst)

Farewell Soi Cowboy Na!

One week left in the city of sin, so I thought I'd share some kinky Thai Pop A-Go-Go. For a more extensive look at these genres, check out Peter Doolan's definitive monrakplengthai.blogspot.com. As for me, next stop: Phnom Penh. Hope to score some 60s Psych-Rock vinyl if the Khmer Rogue didn't burn it all.

This Saturday in Philly...

Steppin Out is back at KFN for more new wave fun: http://tinyurl.com/steppinoutapril

This Idjut Boys edit had the whole room feeling nice last month, especially when the groove really gets heavy after the 2 1/2 minute mark. I'm sure someone out there can guess who the original artist is...

Young Robots Exclusives from Kenny Raw and DJ Apt One

I've got a few pieces of music I know DBJ family would love to hear up at Young Robots right now so I figured I'd alert everybody as to the awesomeness going on over there.



First - West Philadelphia's reknowned funk-and-soul selector Kenny Raw is dropping a fantastic RJD2/Dilla-esque album this Saturday at Tech Support called Left Handed Scissors. We've got the exclusive 320 kbps album from the man himself for those of you who will not be able to get your greasy paws on the limited run, silk screened CDs this Saturday.

GRAB KENNY RAW'S "LEFT HANDED SCISSORS" EXCLUSIVELY AT YOUNGROBOTS.COM



Second - In case you didn't know, the bol Dave Nada from DC cooked up this whole new style of music called Moombahton - it's basically Dutch House screwed up to a Reggaeton tempo. Every time I drop Moombahton joints in the club there is a 100% chance that somebody comes up and says "I have no idea what the fuck this is but IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!" Over at Young Robots you can grab a from-the-vault Moombahton banger I've been rockin - a screwed up, tropical take on Josh Wink's epic 90s anthem, Higher State of Consciousness.

Enjoy!

Hold This Thing Together, Baby

This was a "Euro Bin Jam" found at a flea market in Brussels last year, and it's become a personal favorite for warming up crowds at Robotique ever since. Definitely prefer the 45 version as opposed to the 12" mix. Short, sweet and catchy with some of the dopest synth bass ever put to vinyl!
