A bit of edge, a bit of sweet, and a dynamic, melodic, accessible remix by Wellman of Shannon Hurley that is just splendidly done!

Bignobo_combo accentuates the force of Periel Stanfield’s vocals with an arrangement filled with edge and power to set forth a message that refuses to be ignored.

A head-nodding mash-up that mixes more than a dozen sources but never loses focus. A fitting self-send-off to the Cool Music Show by one of the proficient and valued members of the community. MCJITB: you are loved.

well, if you needed a reason to get out of your chair, now you’ve got one.

dabra takes Calling Sister Midnight on a trip down analog memory lane in this stunning and very cool arrangement, just a perfect backdrop for this excellent vocal track. Maybe you should stay.

oldDog wraps long time mixter favorite chanteuse Lisa DeBenedictis into an exquisitely crafted and comforting sonic blanket of mesmerizing patterns.

Grounded by Bill Ray’s exquisitely fine drumming and error404’s wicked bass, DoKashiteru takes us on a journey through the world of the hottest jazz club where the hippest hip cats gotta’ move to the groove, to that sublime moment when you just say “ah” because you heard something so, so pretty.

I have no idea what part i played in helping this lingering tidal composition fly but those are the breaks and these are the moments.

It fits a recent fitting 2010 quote i posted by Tom Hanks in the film Castaway i heard the other week :

`And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?’


All the best for 2010. LS

Vidian’s stellar groove mastery mashes up Colab, Kaer Trouz, and Calling Sister Midnight, with a twist of Ivan Chew.

Struck by an instinctive rhythm, a sultry siren calls me into a dark club, dressed with red velvet couches. I order a martini, and the voice morphs, soothing and swank. The black lights spin and the energy continues to pull at my root, lifting, lifting, lifting. At last, I am inevitably drawn by the constant, subtle groove to the dance floor, lost in intoxicating motion……

If i had a say, i’d make this the theme song for the Biodiesel conference. Since I can’t do that, this seemed like a good alternative.

Love makes the world go round, and this remix by wellman will set you spinning, featuring outstanding vocals by Mykle Anthony. Not much else to add but this track is loved by me.

My Light Skin Soul Brother from the other side of the pond, has given us another piece of ear candy. A soulful treat with a Luther Vibe by way of Frank H. Carter aka Songboy3. Something Special indeed with backing vocals from Mr.Loveshadow himself. As we say on this side of the pond, “It’s A Hot One Baby”
