Howie B – The undisputed truth – How it is.

minha galera — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:50:48 +0000

This great song is a classic motown tune, that was taken by DJ Howie B in 2001 and transformed into an incredible trip-hop, downtempo piece. Loved it for years, but didn’t find it anywhere. Luckily, music blogs came to my rescue and I to the rescue of all youtubers:

Mark Ronson – Apply some pressure ft. Paul Smith

A nice, animating song, as for a cozy Wednesday afternoon.

Romanticii

Calatorie cosmica (Cosmic Travel)

Soare si foc (Sun and Fire)

Cheia Fa sau Sol (Fa or Sol key)

Romanticii (The Romantics) was a romanian band formed in the 60s with different members during the years. Mircea Dragan was the leader of the group. He was lucky enough to meet the “Sah mat” band, later on “Tinara Generatie” (The Young Generation) and to record with them the album “Soare si foc”. This recordings are significantly more pleasant to the ear than the ones before “Tinara Generatie”. Mircea Dragan was also a member of “Mondial“, a famous Romanian band active since 1966.

Kutiman feat. Karolina – Music Is Ruling My World

settembrini — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:00:15 +0000

Mine too

Ophir “Kutiman” Kutiel is a 25 year old musician, composer and producer from Tel Aviv. He plays drums, keyboards, guitar and bass , among others and we strongly believe that he will leave his mark in 2007 and beyond.

His music draws influences from afro-beat, psychedelic rock, funk and reggae but in different way than most disciples of Fela and Mr.Brown have done before him. Clever heads may even spot some Special AKA, Chocolate Watchband or the pre-historic drum-machine Sly Stone introduced on “There’s A Riot Goin’ On” on Kutiman’s self-titled first album. But being clever is the last thing Kuti tries to be with his music.

Sporto Kantes – Adendum

minha galera — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:25:40 +0000

Dear Earjob, I just have one or more things to say about this band initially posted by you, which, after several researches turned out to be extremely interesting. First, there are the two songs which are splendid: Mundo and Lee (which unknowingly I knew for a long time, from an essential trip-hop mix that I listened to until my computer refused to play it again). Secondly, Nicolas Kantorovwicz, one of the two Sporto Kantes used to be a member of the Wampas, the band which dared to make fun of Manu Chao, in this infamous song. Having forgiven them, I leave you with this two beautiful tunes:
