I am stoked to be playing up in Brooklyn this Friday night. Come hang and get deep! I’ll be around all weekend long for the other festivities: Water Taxi Beach, Mr Fingers @ Santos Party House, Timmy Regisford @ Area Code, etc.
Not super into the vocal version of this 12″, because the piano part that busts in is too good to mask! This nice little boogie track has a great, atomospheric opening and a beautiful, close-your-eyes-and-do-a-spin-in the-baby-powder groove. Enjoy!
I picked this up initially with a huge run of amazing records that I found at a certain thrift store a couple of years ago. I bought it at first becuase Eddy Grant was credited as the writer, but I didn’t know at the time that I had heard this before in my favorite mix (here and here).
This record has that 1980s Paradise Garage sound, sort of the post disco/proto house with great basslines and an incredible break past the 5 minute mark. Enjoy.
First off, I am back with the vinyl rips. Just installed a new Benz MC20E2, got it all aligned correctly, and now am in the process of breaking it in. I am still getting solid rips with the new needle, they just take a bit more work eqing, zeroing out some pops, etc. Anyways, on to the music…
Chez Damier’s curates some serious deepness with his “Unite Therapy Volume One” 4-track E.P. on the new French label, Balance Alliance.
The real standout for me on this record was the Larry Heard produced track that has a vocal that I think will really work well for letting the dancefloor breathe a bit after a hard banging. The bassline is stone cold and the vocal is very emotional. Besides this standout, the record also include a “secret” track which is a ‘Chez n Trent” version of Ani’s “Love is the Message”. Not sure if this is a repress from the original or a mix that never got released as I have never heard the initial release before. Need to inquire further about that one.
ANYWAYS, take a listen and then GO BUY THE RECORD HERE.Not gonna let you get away with a download on this one…
DJ Hut is closing. I spent hundreds, if not a few thousand dollars over the years, especially on trips back from college. I could complain and lament this loss, but I too blame myself for contributing to the downfall just like every other dj who started copping new shit digitally. The conversations and connections I made in this shop were invaluable and definitely gave me a place to launch my ambitions as a DJ. Friday afternoons afterwork will be sorely missed.
Here is the email I got:
We have some sad and disappointing news to share with you. DJHut can no longer battle the dual headwind of the demise of the music retail industry and the economic downturn.
