Kataang - No Letting Go (Song by Wayne Wonder)

mc solaar

boomp3.com

Music | MC Solaar

Alone of the first wave of French rappers, MC Solaar has retained the recitative eloquence and personal presence that made him matter way back in 1990, when he began his career. His "fifth ace" (that’s what "cinquième as" translates to) boasts the greatest musical riches of his five CDs, and these offset the understated drollery of his raps as effectively as the shifting stop-and-go beats of his early CDs reinforced them.

Riches, in Solaar’s case, means sounds you don’t expect to find in a rap environment: a back-up girls’ choir and Eurodisco dreampop in "Solaar pleure" and "Arkansas"; disco and blues guitar, some light drums, and nothing else in "Lève-toi et rap"; girls, again, waving him goodbye in "Hasta la vista mi amor"; harpsichord and violins in "La belle et le bad boy"; a Russian Army chorus in the title song; light, romantic piano in "Les colonies." It’s music that highlights the sadness, or wistful airs, of his complaints. He wants life to be different, and so does his music, as he talks about how things could be, or once were, or will never be (but might have been). On his early CDs, he faced his adversaries and fought them to verbal defeat, or at least a draw. His fourth release, Paradisiaque, marked a change: the "other than the way things are" moved out of reach, and so it stays in Cinquième as — except that the music itself portrays these situations so vividly and pours them into your ear so tangibly that they clearly are within reach. Can Solaar be telling his hardscrabble Northeast Paris ghetto fans that the things hardest to find are those in plain view in one’s own front yard?

Nina Simone- Feelin Good (Joe Claussell Remix)

boomp3.com

DJ/producer/label-head Joe Claussell is perhaps the most influential and in-demand figure on the New York dance scene since Masters At Work. Responsible for some of the best deep and soulful house NYC has heard, Clausell’s Sunday night Body & Soul DJ gig is one of the most legendary house parties of the ’90s. Former owner of the landmark record store Dance Tracks, and long associated with the house labels Spiritual Life and Ibadan, they all reflect his deep love for and his eclectic and multicultural taste in dance music. Much of the global dance movement can be traced back to Claussell’s highly percussive style that incorporates Latin, African, Brazilian and other world rhythms with elements of jazz, rock, disco, and live instrumentation. On his remix of Nina Simone’s "Feelin' Good", Claussell tones down the percussion a bit, instead opting for a lush and soulful downtempo approach.

osunlade feat dmne essence my reflection (dj gregory remix)

boomp3.com

DJ Gregory, from France, is one super-cool player, highly intelligent, passionate about music and more than a little bit crazy, this producer holds great respect from all heavy hitters in the dance music community.

His DJ sets are unmissable and he has an army of fans that follow him wherever he performs. Never selling out and always wary of commercial crossovers this is a
person who has absorbed all the various cultures around him and reproduced them in his highly individual House sound. From Paris, to New York, London and Tokyo, he travelled the globe to hone his production and DJ techniques and absorbed everything that House had to offer.


He has been regarded as the king of the afro beat scene with his highly percussive tracks that feature many African, West Indian and Caribbean flavours. His biggest production ‘Elle’ has touched every house DJ that has heard it and became an instant classic. It is a permanent fixture in most of their record boxes.

Gregory was one of the first pioneering house producers that was invited by Bob Sinclar to become part of the legendary Africanism project; a project that embraced the percussive riffs and flavour of Africa and translated them into energetic house tracks.

However the success he enjoyed here made him realise he could do bigger things with his own label.

"After Africanism, I wanted to do exactly my own shit, I wanted to release my stuff, I wanted to be on my own also not to be under someone else’s is record company. The first release was Tropical Sound Clash so the success of this first release has made a name for the label".

So Faya Combo was born. Named after the translation that Faya means ‘On Fire’ and ‘Combo’ derives from the fact that 70's West Indian and Caribbean music that Gregory loved always included a ‘combo’ of people. He thought that Faya Combo sounded cool and the label was born.

In this package he puts together his inimitable own sound. You will find CD1 is an energetic mix by DJ Gregory himself. He combines a few of his classics along side some heavyweight remixes from the likes of Ame, Kerri Chandler, Yass and Argy and some exclusive new cuts
from the Faya Combo camp.

CD2 showcases his classic releases on an unmixed format which is ideal for CD DJs. Elle ,Attend 1, Don’t Know Malandro, S2 and Solaris; these are essential tracks for any self-respecting House DJ to own. This CD is simply a comprehensive guide to the tracks that lead to his legendary status he has today.

Ten Tips to Getting (and keeping) a Job as a Radio Mixshow DJ by Marcus McBride
Spring 2008
[Editor's Note: Marcus McBride is a resident DJ on XM Satellite's BPM Channel 81 and KNRJ Phoenix (Energy 92.7 & 101.1). He is the owner/operator of Full Tilt Remix (a remix service for professional DJ's). He also has a bachelor's degree in broadcasting engineering from the University Of Cincinnati.]
Radio mixshows are among the most prestigious residencies in the world of deejaying. A typical night on the air will likely have your mix reaching more people than your biggest and best night at any club that you'll ever spin for. It's a highly competitive sector of the industry with a finite number of available slots and an infinite number of candidates who are interested in filling them. Getting your foot in the door isn't the easiest of things to do, but it's not impossible. Here are a few suggestions for getting started. Getting In ...Give yourself some homeworkIf you have a local station in mind to submit a mixshow demo to, give yourself a leg up by doing a bit of research first. Make note of what the station plays, and more importantly, what the station doesn't play. Listen for new music and how frequently (or infrequently) such music is added to their rotation. Playlists are a valuable tool as well, many of which can easily be found online. These things will allow you to tailor a demo package that's best suited to the station's sound, image, and overall presentation. Be accessible... Anything that you submit to a radio station for consideration should have your contact information on it (phone numbers, website, email address, etc). That includes your demo CD, bio, submission letter "you name it." It doesn't hurt to spend a few bucks at the office supply store either. A clearly printed label for the CD itself and a professionally-made business card (neither of which are terribly expensive these days) both go a long way to making your submission look that much more professional. Keep things brief and to the point Write a full-page bio about yourself as DJ. That's great -- now cut it down to a few simple paragraphs. The station doesn't need your life story, just the most relevant points about who you are what you do. Likewise, your demo should showcase your mixing and programming talents without being overly zealous. Bells & whistles in the mix are nice but best kept to a minimum if you haven't truly mastered them. Use any custom ID's or drops that you may have sparingly as well (having them professionally produced doesn't hurt either).Think big but start small They're seldom glamorous and most are unpaid, but internships can offer you entrance into the radio world while teaching you a lot about the industry in the process. You'll see how the business works first-hand and cultivate a better idea as to how to pursue your own goals down the road. Many a successful mixshow deejay first got their start working as an assistant or an intern or in some other facet of the business. Be both persistent and patient in equal measures The time & attention of a station's program director and/or on-air staff is inevitably split among countless tasks at just about any given moment. Twice-daily calls or emails aren't likely to elicit a faster or more favorable response from them. Proper follow-up on your submission is a must but be mindful to do so in moderation; and take action accordingly on any suggestions or guidance that they offer you. Staying In ...Radio is a "team sport"Mixshows and the deejays that create them are a small (and important) part of a much larger whole, and that whole has its best chance for success when its individual parts are working together towards the same goals. Always remember that the station's agenda is your agenda -- not the other way around.Your listeners only chew when they have something to bite into first ...As a medium, radio is consistently at the mercy of the ever-shrinking attention spans of its listeners. Deejays by nature are creative people, many of which like to break new ground or set themselves apart with what they do. Just remember that your typical listener probably isn't as savvy as you are when it comes to music (after all, you're the deejay -- not them). Familiarity is a good thing to keep sight of when programming your sets, and sandwiching those newer tracks and remixes in-between staple hits is an easy and effective way to keep people tuned in to your show.... and you can trim the fat while you're at itWhat works in the club doesn't necessarily translate as well over the airwaves. That nine-minute anthem mix of your favorite track that often whips dance-floors into a peak-hour tizzy is very likely to have radio listeners reaching for another preset sooner than later. Keep in mind that the length of most songs played in regular rotation fall somewhere between 3:00 and 4:30 on average. Getting to the meat of the tracks you play in your mixshow is advisable, as is not letting individual tracks drag on for too long.Give your show a personal touchBreathing new life into records that you find yourself playing over & over again is an easy way to help keep your listeners interested. Remixes and edits of most popular tracks can be found in droves these days, but creating your own can really put a customized spin on what you do. Conjuring up your own remixes, edits, and mash-ups may take time to properly master, but it's an investment in your craft that could potentially pay off in more ways than one.Being a "mixshow person" is good, but being a "radio person" is greatRadio is a diverse and multi-faceted medium, a multi-million dollar industry that is as competitive and unpredictable as they come. Hands-on experience and proper networking will afford you the opportunity to expand your own skill sets time-and-time again. Countless mixshow deejays first got their start doing something else within the radio business, and many of them have gone to bigger and better things within the industry as well. The more you learn, the more likely you are to become one of them.
