Where the music comes from
Mar. 18th, 2019 09:58 amI have tabs! They have music on them! Let's close some of them - once again another all-funky selection, with variations on the themes.

I haven't posted nearly enough Stickybuds. This one I'm pretty sure came out of one of their Shambhala mixes. It's reggae, it's funky, and it's political. I'm also pretty sure this is a short version of a tune I've heard longer mixes for but it's the best I could find online when I looked. The featured vocalist, Burro Banton, was a riddim DJ out of Kingston in (checks online) the 80s and 90s which is why the name seemed familiar but it's long enough ago that I didn't remember details. In those days most of that music went to the UK and it was hard to get in the US. But now we have The Intarwebz and things are better.

Skank Spinatra might be the best musician name of the past year. This track, a remix of "Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself", keeps some of the original Sly & The Family Stone disco/funk edge but resets it into a 21st-century glitchy-infused style. I'm normally not a big glitch fan but I can forgive a lot if it's got a funky beat. As I said to MizA in a different context: "First comes the beat, then the bass" is like the first commandment of my religion.

Apparently I'm feeling funk-infused - shocking I know. Here we get Gramophone Soul doing "DJ to DJ". This is a rockin' track that blends a number of styles, going all the way back to 1950's era twist in a tight little four-minute dance track.

Cuttin' It Fine productions produced an irregular podcast back last year. This, from December, is a beauty of a set, including a number of fine remixes. The best part is that everything is listed with links to where you can get the tracks (mostly Bandcamp, which I recommend as a site that sends a good chunk of the money back to the original artist). I wish all sets came annotated this way - I'd buy a lot more music.
