Next party we have lined up (this Saturday @ Barrymores Music Hall) is Mad Decent & Florida's South Rakkas Crew alongside Montreal's top music selector, Ghislain Poirier. Joining them will be a drummer & MC/vocalist (Face-T), for the live set portion of the night. Expect the finest (and bassy-est) foreign sounds, with heavy dancehall influence.

Peep the event page for more info on SRC, Ghislain, and the jam itself.

Also, here is a live recording of Ghislain's portion on Sinden's KISS FM radio show, recorded last week in London during his European tour.

The Girl From Ipanema

Bosa nova y'all. This was a huge hit in the mid '60s. Such a legit track too. Read the story behind the girl & the song over here.

Trickery

Jacked from Dougie Fresh.

Hard drive is BUNK

I am angrier looking than this BBQ right now. The firewire port on my external hard drive somehow broke off and fell into the hard drive enclosure. All my music is still there, I just can't access it.

Sorry if this place blows massive balls for the next little while. Hope to get the shit fixed & up 'n runnin soon.

Spinach vs. Spanish

Trigon killin' it with the commercial.

Big man little yute

I've had this song stuck in my head since like '98/'99. It was also the song that played the very 1st time I grinded with a black chick.

I remember feelin' so hype, I'll never forget.

Trumpets & horns

I'm all about the trumpets & horns, it reminds me of my Serbian childhood. These songs are such a gypsy throwback for me. I still remember the walks home from kindergarten... cousins and best friends by my side, hands overflowing with rocks, prepping another weekly rock fight with the gypsy kids that lived several blocks from my house. Those kids would always try 'n jack our soccer balls, climb our apple trees, spit on us as we biked by. They'd even raid grandma's garden and sell the stolen veggies in the market the following morning. Damn we hated that gypsy mini-hood (& the trumpet music they forever played). Thinkin back now, those crowded neighbourhood rock throwing fights were vicious as shit. We even had a shotgun pulled on us by one of the gypsy kid's dads this one time (his son's nose got hella wrecked from a dead-on brick chunk, ha).

I gots love for the trumpets now though. Gots love for Sis & Jesse Rose too. Gots mad love for the Essential Mix where I first heard these two songs as well.

Jesse Rose - Touch My Horn (zShare)

Sis - Trompeta (Original Mix) (zShare)

The Young Lovers

I've been lovin' all The Young Lovers (Hervé's 37298th alter-ego) stuff. First TYL track I heard was in one of Sinden's Kiss FM radio shows, way back. I remember trying to find that very song he played, and never coming up with anything. Wasn't until recently that I bumped into a few joints & re-fell in love.

The Young Lovers - Love You Madly (zShare)

The Young Lovers - She's a Phoenix (zShare)

The Young Lovers - Midnight To Morning (zShare)

Elephant Fight

I love elephants & I love this song.
