09. Peter Ram – Jonesin (New Dance)

Licorice Allsorts w/ Undercover

A bit of everything here, all new discoveries and all been on high rotation. We start with some fresh and vintage funk, some sweet folk taken from the awesome Groove Merchant 20 Year compilation, a new artist for me Asa, a tune off the NEW Shaolin Temple Defenders, some FRESH Resene 12" action, some KILLER new Hip-Hop from Kanye (sampling Curtis), some Aloe Blacc, MED and Talib Kweli. Also the Hip-Hop tip is Gappy Ranks who spits a MEAN tribute to his heros, and Biggie Smalls makes a sneak cameo comeback in the new Stephen and Damien Marley collab, and a CRAAZY Wu Tang sampling reggae sound tune from Skarra Mucci. I then drop some recent dancehall faves, the Dancehall Again, Ital Stew, Ska and Turn It Up Riddims, a fresh lick on the Fade-Away RIDDIM and some sweet sweet Peckings love from Sparkie and Sadiki before we wrap things up with a DIGITAL nextmen remix from Wrongtom, some chubby Prince Fatty and lastly Jah Blakkamore wraps things up a treat. Grab It.

Big ups to Dizzlematic for dropping us a line, he's got some maaad blending talents (check his Ward 21 mix of the last post) and some killer styles up on his blog. I grabbed this banger from over his ways, likewise some of my favourite tunes Wendy Rene 'After Laughter' and Wu's 'Tearz' this fresh mix of soul and reggae is a winner in my books. Yea!

Big up Barriobeat for the tip on this one folks. Large fat hip-hop beat of Bill Withers/Horace Andy's classic perfectly backs up the sweet sound of Patwa. Fresh so no link as yet. Stay tuned!
