Originally on the <span style="font-style:italic;">Blue Lines</span> album this cut sung imperiously by Shara Nelson cut through the musical hemisphere at the turn of the 90's like a daisy-cutter. This is still the blueprint to my youth and something that I have been playing incredibly loudly in recent days.

David Axelrod is a master musician who was the man who pushed the likes of Lou Rawls and Cannonball Adderly to the forefront of music during his time as A&R and composer at Capitol Records in the late 60's and early 70's. He has been sampled by just about ever person who has ever made hip hop and probably most famously by DJ Shadow who spearheaded the resurgence in his music by letting the whole world know about him through the grooves of <span style="font-style:italic;">Endtroducing</span>. <span style="font-style:italic;">Holy Thursday</span> is an incredibly beautiful and ambitious track that shows just about everything that is good about Axelrod's work and listening back to it you can definitely hear why so many people have sampled him and why he is so influential. This is meant to be played incredibly loudly. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/0lr689">David Axelrod - Holy Thursday</a>Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006056103401989779.post-13630884587954611822009-02-24T10:17:00.001-08:002009-02-24T10:21:56.165-08:00Edgar Müller<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4zbOZ1O4jsyqGl9abr-5jXl7sC2Jhq_59RvNQuBsBqaLkfpQusg_aSmmuvxCh2uxr7-h-beriBKyinWrmyBaR5vNyXcoGcAnWuFiNXwEGLIUEeTAiQyxa6bVt_rXpeEE7HOR7nMaRU_lO/s1600-h/edgar+muller.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4zbOZ1O4jsyqGl9abr-5jXl7sC2Jhq_59RvNQuBsBqaLkfpQusg_aSmmuvxCh2uxr7-h-beriBKyinWrmyBaR5vNyXcoGcAnWuFiNXwEGLIUEeTAiQyxa6bVt_rXpeEE7HOR7nMaRU_lO/s400/edgar+muller.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306429841902047762" /></a><br />I had never seen work by Edgar Müller before and it is a very interesting take on the street art that you see in cities such as Amsterdam, Barcelona and Venice where people paint images on the streets quite regularly. It must have taken him ages to work out the dimensions on these pieces as well as constant reordering of the focal point. Pretty astonishing stuff. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5KbI3rtRuKbT9V-7va00b5aiMV6vq8F7xIVhEjMOo3tqeNwTZei67X9E7pmhCJ83epZscgEAMRevC3B_cmCjo5ueb2gmF2_8hyzeH1uRE5ms_Uh4s5t0yV_VejYR2DBmeUb12Xo6P6kfx/s1600-h/edgar+muller+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5KbI3rtRuKbT9V-7va00b5aiMV6vq8F7xIVhEjMOo3tqeNwTZei67X9E7pmhCJ83epZscgEAMRevC3B_cmCjo5ueb2gmF2_8hyzeH1uRE5ms_Uh4s5t0yV_VejYR2DBmeUb12Xo6P6kfx/s400/edgar+muller+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306429896992069026" /></a><br /><blockquote>Edgar Müller was born in Mülheim/Ruhr on 10 July 1968 and grew up in the rural city of Straelen in the outermost west of Germany. His great artistic talent to represent its surroundings graphically and picturesquely turns out early, fascinated by painting from youth. He attends the high school in the neighboring town Geldern where the internationally important competition of the street painters takes place for over 30 years now. Inspired by the transitory works of art which meet him on his way to school Edgar Müller take part to this festival at the age of 16 years for the first time. With 19 years he wins this competition with a copy of the picture "Jesus at Emmaus " (Caravaggio).<br /><br />Within the years following on this he could decide many other international competitions for himself. Since 1998 Edgar Müller owns the title 'maestro madonnari' (master street painter) whom worldwide only few artists bear. This award will allocate on the best known festival of the street painters in the small Pilgrim town Grazie since 1972 in Italy.<br /><br />Arround the age of 25 Müller decides to devote himself to street painting completely. He travels all over Europe and denies his cost of living with his transitory art. He gives workshops at schools and is co-organizer and member of committee of different Street-Painting-Festivals. Mueller sets up the first and so far only board for street painters in Germany - an internet forum designed for solidarity of the german street painter community.<br /><br />Edgar Muellers open studio is the street. He presents the people the excellent works of old masters in their weekday, and draws his perfect copies to the observers feet. He invites his audience to his fascination about the old masters art, her expressed view of the world - seeing and understanding it in depth.<br /><br />Despite courses among well-known artists and studies to the communication designer Edgar is actually an autodidact. He looks for new representation forms for himself again and again. Inspired by the three-dimensional illusion paintings (particularly by works of Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever) he follows this new art form and creates his own style. Based on his knowledge about traditional painting and modern communication Müller uses a more simple and graphic language for his art. He paints over large areas of urban public life and gives them a new appearance thereby, challenging the perception of the passers-by. The observer becomes a part of the new scenery offered. While proceeding their daylife the people are changing the painting's statement on and on. Numerous publications in press and television draw one's attention to its unusual art.</blockquote><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpSiDvAq6tTSp7uDEmP97LFG06PV6AfeqOUWknN-0X_T2DfrpzWdap0AiW2kNNvzsXQ_2Kq6uwKjzUjcGyVBK4HbE__xKxTPWKnBOi6oNPGz-5fR1jiPzlp-3z1MdzVVyqFJTAwWOT0nlq/s1600-h/edgar+muller+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 381px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpSiDvAq6tTSp7uDEmP97LFG06PV6AfeqOUWknN-0X_T2DfrpzWdap0AiW2kNNvzsXQ_2Kq6uwKjzUjcGyVBK4HbE__xKxTPWKnBOi6oNPGz-5fR1jiPzlp-3z1MdzVVyqFJTAwWOT0nlq/s400/edgar+muller+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306429993252608962" /></a>Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006056103401989779.post-78858066575238480272009-02-23T17:44:00.000-08:002009-02-23T17:57:05.863-08:00Suite For Ma DukesLast night I had the distinct pleasure of attending an event that completely and utterly affirmed my love for music, Suite For Ma Dukes, an orchestral tribute to the music and memory of J Dilla. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnybtJYKTCciNKZ3q4g6UQHmqohNVConqWNImND0m3y1KgsRLDw3eNzhBqofTJ8p-Y0EFZ9pA2qPZjgLayIL1aBG1lRGmTYNLY8F2WZhJWuBH9pNLeWfpnRyidofBDdZ6Z0OiDDv098YU3/s1600-h/IMG_1420.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnybtJYKTCciNKZ3q4g6UQHmqohNVConqWNImND0m3y1KgsRLDw3eNzhBqofTJ8p-Y0EFZ9pA2qPZjgLayIL1aBG1lRGmTYNLY8F2WZhJWuBH9pNLeWfpnRyidofBDdZ6Z0OiDDv098YU3/s400/IMG_1420.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306174214877086098" /></a><br />The night kicked off with the legendary J Rocc of the Beat Junkies absolutely killing it after House Shoes had gotten the place all nicely whipped up. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxi0TkjIz4OrE_1XkeYCxl9x4FPE-kEnyGlv2aqR-0xI9aOQLPv4cQNzjusUFqsvAywerTbZufTo7OF7M4GfRVLfnYe2GPpwyxFJXA2YU59ABVjy2UrqwcxyXNtAFWyERzENtqeYxHV-O/s1600-h/IMG_1409.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxi0TkjIz4OrE_1XkeYCxl9x4FPE-kEnyGlv2aqR-0xI9aOQLPv4cQNzjusUFqsvAywerTbZufTo7OF7M4GfRVLfnYe2GPpwyxFJXA2YU59ABVjy2UrqwcxyXNtAFWyERzENtqeYxHV-O/s400/IMG_1409.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306174085263427682" /></a><br />Then the orchestra played with a cast that included the likes of Karriem Riggings, Bilal, Diana 'Decibel' Booker, Amp Fiddler, Talib Kweli, Posdnuos, Dweli, Illa J, Common and loads more all conducted beautifully and with an incredible amount of genuine emotion by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0aj_M8V1Zk5JVGnhgxqG6OdvX10e42ysoRKjNy8-bMYrd575TTrEY5ze-kA4zpESeGRpiDHzPUDCRwVbVXaukbQSQYMyBIMmviSQtLUX_xEPqxL4vzDW-ARPFUM_rF67aOc-ZTGpls4l/s1600-h/IMG_1416.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0aj_M8V1Zk5JVGnhgxqG6OdvX10e42ysoRKjNy8-bMYrd575TTrEY5ze-kA4zpESeGRpiDHzPUDCRwVbVXaukbQSQYMyBIMmviSQtLUX_xEPqxL4vzDW-ARPFUM_rF67aOc-ZTGpls4l/s400/IMG_1416.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306174148933674258" /></a><br />The show was shot by B+ and will probably be made available in the coming months but in the meantime check this sneaky film of the finale and the encore that has just surfaced on Youtube. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K9M0n-YBQIk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K9M0n-YBQIk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />This was without a doubt a night of music that I would have loved each and every one of you to have been able to experience.

This cut, <span style="font-style:italic;">Woman Of The Ghetto</span>, was famously being sampled in the 90's by Blueboy on their hit track <span style="font-style:italic;">Remember Me</span> which seemed to be everywhere when it was released on Guidance, and was also sampled by St. Germain on one of my favourite cuts of all-time <span style="font-style:italic;">Rose Rouge</span> at the turn on the century both of which if you haven't heard before you really should seek out. In addition to her time on Blue Note, Marlena has released records on Chess, Cadet, Columbia, Soul Brother, Verve and South Bay the majority of which are absolutely essential for any self-respecting record collector. Marlena was recently honored at the World Wide Awards in London and she continues to seduce with her sultry and dulcet tones the world over. Look beyond the dime-a-dozen pop strumpets littering the airwaves and sink your lugs into the real deal. This is one to play ear-bursting loud. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/k5s82b">Marlena Shaw - Woman Of The Ghetto</a>Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006056103401989779.post-83991623827703680252009-02-20T07:43:00.000-08:002009-02-20T07:51:28.964-08:00Joe Crepusculo - Gabriela - El Guincho remix<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg78pNY9e8RU00nfa6mOBhFrH_SFGYTwxD9FgGb2HEb8fOeBkVMpDLsOEGiWuePoL-RyaMie39KkFEgE6B5468KiiiDVSKaCFZmJgufvAgJ6ywr_mbYB3tkasDuEy7I2SOcAne7aXSLN1Bc/s1600-h/Joel_Iriarte_alias_Joe_Crepusculo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg78pNY9e8RU00nfa6mOBhFrH_SFGYTwxD9FgGb2HEb8fOeBkVMpDLsOEGiWuePoL-RyaMie39KkFEgE6B5468KiiiDVSKaCFZmJgufvAgJ6ywr_mbYB3tkasDuEy7I2SOcAne7aXSLN1Bc/s400/Joel_Iriarte_alias_Joe_Crepusculo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304907749435893698" /></a><br />I know absolutely nothing about Joe Crepusculo beyond, and to be honest this is a guess, that he is Spanish and that his work can be at times very hard to digest, so it is with a huge sigh of relief that El Guincho has gotten his hands on a track and turned into what is admittedly just the right side of cod reggae with an incredibly full sounding reworking. This is just the sort of thing that the Balearic (slowly becoming a dirty word) massive should eat up.

He's worked with a number of artists such as Madvillian, Manitoba, Four Tet and many more and has found a home on the increasingly psych-friendly label Stones Throw who have just recently released a great 45 of his. This track, <span style="font-style:italic;">Lying In The Sun</span>, taken from his must have album <span style="font-style:italic;">Out My Window</span> is an adventurous take on the beats cannon and sounds absolutely incredible in the sun, which finally peaked its head out today after a few days of snow.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of equipment (mics, pre-amps, monitors, turntables, guitars, amps, computers, etc.) stolen and damaged. It is going to take us a while to go through everything and take full stock of what was stolen, and we are not supposed to touch anything until the cops come back to collect fingerprints so we can only guess what’s missing from some mic drawers and cabinets.<br /><br />And, no, we did not have insurance. We had been shopping around with different companies earlier this month but had not signed a check, so nothing was insured. We are working on replacing the gate in front, installing an alarm system, and getting insurance, but it is President’s day so it’s not going as quickly as we would have liked. Nydia’s computer was stolen (which wasn’t backed up) and the modems/ phone system was ripped out, so we’ll be relatively out of commission for a few days.<br /><br />I would like to ask for everyone’s help first in keeping an eye out for all of our stuff showing up on ebay/craigslist/local music shops, and secondly (and more realistically) keeping an eye out for good deals on headphones, mics, pre-amps, etc. I could really use a heads up on any kind of studio package for sale or studio equipment to be possibly bought or borrowed as soon as possible. We have a session scheduled for Friday to lay down some music for (I know this sounds surreal) Rod Stewart, and I’m going to have to get the studio running by then. I know I’m going to need to find headphones, cables, mics, and pre-amps by then. I’m not sure what else yet.<br /><br />Upon first glance we are definitely missing:<br />Fender Super Guitar Amp in case<br />Fender Deluxe Guitar Amp<br />A whole bunch of headphones and wires<br />Nydia’s HP laptop computer<br />One Desktop MacIntosh Computer<br />One Purple Audio API style lunchbox with<br />four Purple Audio Biz mic pre-amps<br />2 Yamaha NS10 monitors<br />Vintage Harmony Rocket Guitar<br />One steel string acoustic guitar<br />Martin Tenor sax in a gig bag<br />Technics 1200 turntable<br />Ion USB turntable<br />Teac Receiver/stereo amp<br />Sony dual deck CD burner/player<br />All of our modem/phone system stuff was ripped out and taken.<br />A whole bunch of condensor and dynamic microphones (I still need to figure out exactly what’s missing)<br />The power supply for my Trident console was tossed and the board was moved (probably not gently) so the status of that is still questionable.<br />A baldwin organ was tossed and is probably broken.<br />Lacie External hard drive. <br /><br />Over the next few days, as we sort out the rubble, we are going to figure out what else we lost.<br /><br />We are putting in a roll down front gate, alarm system, and finally getting our insurance happening this week. We are also going to hire a security guard to watch the house for tonight as the cops and alarm guy seemed pretty confident that they will be back with a truck now that they’ve seen what’s in here.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping eyes open for us.

Matmos are of course American cut and paste producers whose work is as clever as it it bonkers, the majority of which would part a dancefloor like Moses but play their records at an afterparty and everyone and their dog wants to know what has just tickled their ears. I actually prefer Drew Daniels' The Soft Pink Truth stuff but this is a perfect example of what made Matthew Herbert to sign them to his Accidental label a few years ago. To be honest, I haven't quite made my mind up about this one - what do you think? <br /><br /><a href="https://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=U0d4eVdnNDRTSURIRGc9PQ">Matmos - Steam & Sequins for Larry Levan</a>Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006056103401989779.post-23445782682878511662009-02-10T11:41:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:02:34.309-08:00Tony Allen Live!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nOqbDCS7NzEJhulGtX6JYyfzf64AN9ig5qMweX6N2whHqo0KHzhmDKa-PKK5viNXNpJAkPYcuYgwONhI255WACx3AMbXUzsF-yp6jM58ai24V2jmoOah6V6DJ4AmERgX_nQkqOeokvOy/s1600-h/tony-allen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nOqbDCS7NzEJhulGtX6JYyfzf64AN9ig5qMweX6N2whHqo0KHzhmDKa-PKK5viNXNpJAkPYcuYgwONhI255WACx3AMbXUzsF-yp6jM58ai24V2jmoOah6V6DJ4AmERgX_nQkqOeokvOy/s400/tony-allen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301259304915800770" /></a><br />Now as many of you know I am a tad obsessed with former Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen, and recently he played a gig in London at <a href="http://www.karenp.co.uk">Karen P</a>'s Broadcasting night that included an incredible array of guest artists including the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, who are made up of eight of erstwhile Sun Ra Arkestra member Phil Cohran's sons, Ty, Natty and Senegal's legendary Baba Maal all of which was captured recently for RBMA radio and you can listen to it <a href="http://rbmaradio.com/ARCHIVE.153.0.php?extID=0&showID=1365">here</a>.

This does sound like a TV on The Radio record but without the heavy guitar and horn work that characterized their last must have album, and it has most certainly grown on me in recent days. Definitely something I would've played on the, erm, radio. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/d5oth3">Fake Male Voice - OMG!!!FMV!!!</a>Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006056103401989779.post-59171447607980969202009-02-10T10:43:00.001-08:002009-02-10T11:02:34.060-08:00The Selby<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmGLo_wmzpRLtntcHwzUF6vHH5X3tgX1oMfgokPClzfbpwEPpC4munyjDDwo3JR6Vk2It-TXD7NjQWTynuQCfAxCjhsluASleP0bI1mYCYFkPdqpczDQ65r7-_u0tT73QZidl0SQ4naQt/s1600-h/selby.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmGLo_wmzpRLtntcHwzUF6vHH5X3tgX1oMfgokPClzfbpwEPpC4munyjDDwo3JR6Vk2It-TXD7NjQWTynuQCfAxCjhsluASleP0bI1mYCYFkPdqpczDQ65r7-_u0tT73QZidl0SQ4naQt/s400/selby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301243028957156034" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.toddselby.com/">Todd Selby</a> is a New York-based photographer who has been shooting movie directors, fashion models, designers, painters, writers and indie magazine editors in their homes in New York, London, Paris, Mexico City and Los Angeles and he posts the results on his brilliant website <a href="http://www.theselby.com">theselby.com</a> which I have become fairly obsessed with in recent weeks since I was introduced to it via <a href="http://www.maround.com/mablog/tyler_askew/">Tyler Askew's excellent blog</a>.

In the mid- to late '90s he conceived beats for hip-hop's most eclectic visionaries: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Tha Pharcyde, the Roots. His producing style was never flashy, often exerting the right low-range mix of street funk and boho jazziness perfect for many of the aforementioned artists. The 32-year-old Dilla passed away from lupus complications on Fri., Feb. 10 2006. He will always be seen as a godsend to both hip-hop artists and listeners.<br /><br />Gone but not forgotten.Marc Ketshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07298626383852108503noreply@blogger.com0
