In celebration of our celebration, here are a few of my favorite classics.

RCMP on Scion Radio

noreply@blogger.com (Gentlewhoadie Apt One) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:20:00 +0000

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Cosmo and Ayres from The Rub. We chopped it up about RCMP, Philadelphyinz, Pittsburghese, our Young Robots label project, the old Paradise at Key West and the brief but spectacular Philly career of DBJ's own Mike Tee.

Relative Q and I also did a guest mix with lots of disco, new and old. Ayres and Cosmo also mix it up on some old school rap shit.

The show is available only as a live stream right now. You can listen to it at Scion Radio's site OR you can listen with the convenient new player at the top of the sidebar right here on The Doller Ban Jams Internet Website!

Put it on while you're getting your hair braided or having a cocaine-induced midnight house cleaning session.

Tracklist is posted in the comments section.

40th B-day

cropsy159@gmail.com (Cropsy) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Ok, so last Friday I djed Olga Rivera's b-day party - it was mad fun! Olga's story is actually pretty sick, she is a freestyle singer from back in the day. Mrs. Rivera put out a lot of records during her career, but one of her most popular jams is "Looking Through The Window". It originally came out on wax, but was recently featured on "Freestyle Roots" Vol. 2 in 2008. Enjoy!

Ps: I played a ton of freestyle music at her party, it was sick!

Buy Endless Bummer!!!

shawn.j.ryan@gmail.com (Shawn Ryan) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:28:00 +0000

I realize Endless Bummer, Pink Skull's latest LP, has already gotten a bunch of press, but it's earned it. BUY THIS RECORD. They really surprised me with the organic and warm nature of this material. Think more post-punk/prog/psych than electro. Plus the concept for the art is amazing. The vinyl (which includes downloads & bonus tracks) is available from RVNG and the files are on Beatport.

DJ Meistro - Jigawa Groove

noreply@blogger.com (Deep Sang) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000

All time homie and my partner in crime for the monthly party Dirty Bombs in DC, DJ Meistro, recently came back from a summer in Nigeria and brought with him a ton of afro funk, disco, and rock lps and 12"s. I'm jealous.

Anyhow, he put together a killer mix of some of the best tunes he unearthed, called Jigawa Groove. This mix is crazy, full of funk bombs, disco bangers and some really ill psych rock kinda stuff. Check it here:

DJ Meistro - Jigawa Groove | Soundcloud

He also made a great edit of Buari's Iro Le Pa, off of one of the lp's he scored abroad. He actually came up on a few excellent US lps in Nigeria, kinda surprising, but always nice. This one isn't on the mix so be sure to grab it from his soundcloud or yousendit.

I was in NY looking for records maybe 6 years ago at Fatbeats and I stumbled across this new release called "World Psychedelic Classics 3: Love's a Real Thing". At the time I was djing almost every weekend for my B-boy crew DvC so I was always looking for that funky record that could separate me from the other DJs at the jams. Here is one record that helped me achieve that goal. The track off "Love's a Real Thing" that always got the room buzzing is called "Better Change Your Mind" by William Onyeabor which for your information is labeled incorrectly on the vinyl. Hope ya dig.

Speaking of Danny Krivit and white label edits with shadowy credits, can somebody tell me who does this crazy fucking dub of Jimmy Cliff's Peace Officer?

I think Jellybean Benitez does the ridonkulous Syreeta remix on the other side. If you wanna hear that, you're gonna have to go get your fingers dusty.

Robots In Heat

shawn.j.ryan@gmail.com (Shawn Ryan) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:53:00 +0000

San Francisco's Robots In Heat just blessed the world with a new mix of deep & funky prog, folk and cosmic jams. As I write this I'm on my third listen and I can only identify "that one thing DJ Shadow sampled that one time". Feel free to leave comments if you can come any closer with track IDs - I'd love to know what half of this stuff is. The sequencing of this mix is top notch too. RIH clearly worked hard to string these grooves together into a cohesive package, complete with smooth, seamless transitions. This ranks with Henrik Schwarz, Âme & Dixon's The Grandfather Paradox as one of the best mixes I've heard this year. Anyone who had RVNG's Purple Brain mix in heavy rotation needs to give this a listen.

Obscured By Crowds comes our way courtesy of Noncollective, who are curating a collection of quality mixes. Be sure to head over to their site for more.

And for those of you not familiar with Robots In Heat's site, he's been ripping and posting mysterious jams for the past couple years. Definitely check it out for a daily dose of WTF?

Yes, I'm talking computers baby.

Haven't you ever wondered about new technology
It plays a major role in our society
I know you think it's so cool to own all those machines
But in the future we'll be doomed cuz they'll own everything

COMPUTER

Ooooh kay. Morris Day-esque technology concept album from the dude who (according to Discogs) went on to produce E-40's Dusted and Disgusted and a bunch of other 90s rap from the Bay. However, if you ask me, Discogs is probably wrong - I don't think you put out a soul-heavy electrofunk LP on Atlantic in 1985 and then disappear for almost 10 years and re-emerge as a mob music producer.

Regardless, this is some wild shit.

To The Beat Yall

noreply@blogger.com (Deep Sang) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:20:00 +0000

I realize I've been MIA on the blog lately and I'm gonna try to get back in the regular swing of things. To start things off, here are a couple of disco rap jams that share the same title.

First up is Lady B's classic Philly track from 1979. Her raps... ehhhhh but it's one of the first recorded female raps and she holds her own ok. I buy disco rap records kinda compulsively, so if you are into early rap tracks definitely check this one.

The instrumental for Lady B is a cover of Direct Current's "Everybody Here Must Party," which totally rules, so I've included it as well. It's another Philly track on TEC.

The other To The Beat Y'all is much better. Big time boogie/rap jam that you can definitely play out. Big ups to my homie Andrew over at People's Potential Unlimited/Earcave for hooking me up with this one.

For anyone who's not familiar with Derek's Daily 45, it's easily one of my favorite mp3 blogs. Derek is a California based musician and record collector who is generous enough to archive his rare 45s and share them with the world. I currently have a playlist of 100 tracks from him, so I'd say the quality of his posts is unparalleled. Below are links to a couple of my recent favorites to get you started. If you enjoy what you hear, get on his email list and all of the 45s will come straight to your inbox.
