With A Little Help From My Friends – I

Filed under: Livingroom Sessions, Podcast — Leave a comment

October 21, 2011

For the past some moths I have marveled at all the many talented edit artists that not only sharing their talents, but also are hard at work keeping music of by gone eras alive and well. To support their efforts I thought of putting together a few mixes highlighting various artists’ work. Kicking things off, this set is built around the work of Disco Tech, a Stockholm, Sweden, based producer and dj, with an obvious ear for really classic tunes.

Have a listen. With a little help from my friends, this set of tunes brings it home…

Jean Carne – My Love Don’t Come Easy (Disco Tech Edit)
The Chi-Lites – Inner City Blues (Disco Tech Edit)
Al Green – The Letter (Disco Tech Edit)
Curtis Mayfield – Trippin Out (Disco Tech Edit)
Freddie Scott – Got What I Need (Disco Tech Edit)
Carla Thomas & Otis Redding – Tramp (Hawk Edits Reboot)
Bill Withers – Grandma’s Hands (Disco Tech Edit)
George McCrae – Can’t Leave You Alone (Scratchandsniff‘s Extended Re-Rub)

Lettuce Turnip the Beet

Here’s what I suggest. Next Saturday head down to your local Farmer’s Market and pick up yourselves a batch of fresh, locally grown, organic vegetables. When you get home, get situated in the kitchen and turn this music on. Whenever you cook, it’s better to do it with and for someone, so get to the cooking together. By the time the music is finished, chances are that you’ve only made it so far as to start making out on the couch, while something is burning on the stove. But who really cares, when all you have to do is start it over again, and when the process really is that good.

Grooveman Spot – Ur Luv
Kashif – Help Yourself To My Love (Matthew Kyle Filtered Edit)
Starpoint – Get Ready, Get Down (Domes edit)
Drop Out Orchestra – I Am A Fan Of The Fatback Band
6th Borough Project – The Formula (Dub Vibes)
Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night
William DeVaughn – Be Thankful for What You’ve Got (Onur Engin Edit)
Maximilian Skiba feat. Snax – One To Pray To (Beg To Differ Remix)
Poolside – Do You Belive?
Newcleus – Automan (Drop Out Orchestra Remix)
Chemise – She Can’t Love You (Tronik Youth Lovedit)
Tomorrow’s Edition – U Turn Me On (Frico Re-edit)
De La Soul – Ring Ring Ring (Yasumo Remix)
Gino Soccio – Love Is (Edit De Prince Language)

And, if you like this mix, please take the time to go to my Facebook page and ‘like’ me there. I certainly will like that.

Home Cooking

My other passion in life, other than music, is cooking. My approach to both has some similarities, particularly when it comes it cheese. Cheese, when over used can make you feel bloated and stuffed, but in small reasonable quantities it’s an essential ingredient that almost always belong in some form. There are some notable exceptions, however. For instance lasagna, when you layer the cheese thick. Now don’t get me wrong. I really LOVE cheese. And the only thing I like more than eating lasagna, is baking lasagna. Below you will find my attempt at making musical lasagna.

Served steaming hot, so be careful not to burn yourself.
