Sophisticated Cissy (DJ Apt One Edit)

This is a private stock edit I have been playing for years. The dudes from SF/LA/NYC crew MOM DJs convinced me to put it on their MOM Remixes Vol. 3, and some of the companion edits I have made will soon follow.  The Motown on Mondays dudes always put it down solid, so check them out at their events around the country.

Cavecast 011 - Sampling

I was really thrilled to participate in last month's edition of CaveCast at the Philadelphia Arts Alliance.  I broke down a bit of the history, philosophy and cultural context of sampling in music and played a buncha tunes.  Give a listen if you ever wondered what Andy Warhol and player pianos have to do with J Dilla and Danny Krivit edits.

Gotcha Covered

Illvibe's Lil'Dave & Little Big Things' Personify recently dropped this ace mix of cover versions spanning a dizzying variety of genres and decades. Dig it...

Philadelphia DJs lil'dave (Illvibe Collective) and Personify (Little Big Things) have joined forces to bring you Gotcha Covered - a genre bending mega-mix of covers songs from the mid-60s to the present. With more than 35 years of DJing and music collecting between them, these fellas dug deep in their collections to pull tracks for Gotcha Covered and spent months mixing, cutting and blending together more than 90 covers spanning Funk, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, Latin, Bossa Nova, Boogaloo, Reggae, Steel-Drum Band, Brass Band, R&B and Hip-Hop, to name a few. From the super rare to the under-appreciated and forgotten to the more common cover versions, Gotcha Covered offers up something for the serious digger and the casual listener alike. If you love good music, stop what you're doing, grab a copy of the mix, and prepare to be taken on a tour of some of funkiest and most soulful covers ever laid down. And sorry - no track listing...gotta do your own homework for this one!

Tom Noble on BIS Radio

Really nice guest mix from "Disco" Tom Noble on Beats in Space a few weeks ago.  Lots of rarities, including Larry McGee's tribute to my hometown of Pittsburgh, The Burg.  That Larry McGee (Pictured above) song is kinda goofy because it was made in the late 1970s and it basically just talks about how awesome and fun Pittsburgh is, which was NOT the case back then - when Pittsburgh was a crumbling city in the middle of an economic seizure of epic proportions.

But I digress, the mix is super awesome, check the tracklist:

1. Larry McGee - The Burg - Boogie Band Records
2. Master Force - Don't Fight The Feeling - Rain Forest Records
3. Dohnnie - Dancin Is Your Love - Posh Records
4. Spellboun' - Dance Your Blues Pt II - Instant Records
5. General Lee - Magic (Pt 2) - Lost Weekend
6. Omni - Strong On You - Fountain Records
7. The Futures - Ain't No Time Fa Nothing - Philadelphia International Records
8. New Holidays - Maybe So Maybe No - Soulhawk
9. The Organization Band - Zero Gravity - Sho State
10. The S.T.U.D. Band - Success - Determination
11. Superbs - Party Together - DT Records
12. Majestics - Class A - New World Records
13. Friends & Strangers - I Don't Want To Be Alone (Tonight) - Mystic Sound
14. - Latin Correction -
15. Bob Chance - It's Broken - Torchlite
16. - Teddy -
17. Jerry Green - I Finally Found The Love I Need - Woodward One
18. Larry Mayfield - Love Crave - Mayfield Records
19. Executive Force - Midnight Lovin' - New Age
20. Satellite - You Can Drive My Space Ship - High Altitude
21. Michael Washington - Everlasting Love - Jam City
22. - Teens In Motion -
23. Kelela - Bank Head
24. Yet To Be Named Tom Noble Disco Project - Holding On - Beats In Space Records

The mix is not up on the BIS soundcloud right now, so you can hear it at BIS Radio's site.

Hold On We're Going Home (DJ Apt One Italienische Version)

Unearthed a remix I once did for popular 1980s Italian HI-NRG singer Drake (nee Aubrizzio Driaggio Grahamino), best known for coining the Italian phrase "si vive una volta sola" (YOLO) and for his role as "Jimmy di Sedia a Rotelle" in the RAI-Italia afternoon special Scuola DeGrazzio. Ripped from a 1985 German 12" Maxi Single version.

Take A Chance

Here's a fresh rip of the Italo mega classic, Take A Chance to get your weekend started right! I know vocal version has made the blog rounds over the years, but the rips are always questionable & often from bootleg pressings. Rest assured, these are from an OG (which sounds way better than the Cosmic Explorer bootleg). Plus I don't think the instrumental is so easy to find online, so say thanks and play LOUD!

Let's Get Naughty

I recently found out Roy Dank, who was behind The Wurst Music Co., launched a new label: Free Association. I was pleased to see his debut release is by Name In Lights, who had a standout track on The Wurst Music Ever comp. Their new joint for FA, Naughty, is their best work yet - righteous party starter synths with hints of funky percussion and a creeping vocal hook. Check out the original mix & Axel Bowman's syrupy remix below and pick up the vinyl from Juno in the UK or Halcyon in the US, or buy it from Beatport.
