BOOGIE MEETS R&B (6 TRACKS FOR FREE)

2010-07-16T12:18:00.003+02:00

Last year, whenever I traveled for a DJ-gig, I killed a lot of time making mash ups in Abelton Live. My favorite mash up concept was to put contemporary R&B-vocals over an 80's Boogie/R&B-groove. I've decided to give away 6 tracks in that style under the name "Boogie Meets R&B". I haven't spent much time to do variations, breaks or fade outs... This is just quick stuff made under an hour, but some of them really work in the club.

PURE P - BOOGIE MEETS R&B

Post in the comments if u like the stuff...

EVERYDAY

2009-05-02T12:07:00.004+02:00

I haven't updated the blog that frequently due to some heavy marathon studio sessions for the last month. The work I'm doing is for a new album, only with remixes of New York rappers (PURE P - I'M ON MY NEW YORK SHIT). Everything from Busta, Mos, Wu-Tang, Pharoahe etc etc - remixed by me! Really looking forward to getting it out there, so I work extra hard.

Speaking of New York hip hop, I've picked out one of my millions of favorite Preemo joints, that no one seems to play (except me). Album cut from MOP's "Warriorz", with a quite jiggy hook which I just laugh at. Here you go!

MOP - Everyday 320kbps

WHAT HEARTS SHARE

2009-03-09T09:29:00.003+01:00

I've been praising Mpho Skeef ever since I heard Bugz in the Attic's "Booty La La". The London-based avant garde soul princess really has something special if you ask me. But it's not that often an original image really gets backed up by a truly beatuiful voice like in M's case.

The song I'm sharing with you is my all time favorite Mpho joint and is the B-side from her 2007 EP "What You Waiting For". So soulful!

Mpho Skeef - What Hearts Share 320 kbps

Bonus:

Bugz in the Attic feat. Mpho Skeef - Booty La La Video

RAW SHHHH...

2009-03-05T10:57:00.007+01:00

This joint was played to me by the mighty D-Frost of Hearin' Aid a few years ago, and it made me spazz out totally. It's a major tune to me, but I've never heard a DJ play it in a club. So I suggest you grab it and start spinning it, and I hope to be there when you do!

Busta Rhymes & Rampage - Awsome Two 320 kbps

DON'T SLEEP ON THIS!

2009-02-28T16:56:00.004+01:00

My man Freddie Cruger just made a video to one of his classic songs, "Running From Love".

BUY THE SONG HERE

MY LOVE IS FOREVER

2009-02-26T17:47:00.008+01:00

This one is for all the lovers! A tremendously cheesy song, but I can not NOT LOVE IT! There aren't many cats in the soul genre that can pull shit like this off, but Prince is most def one of them.

Prince - My Love is Forever 320 kbps

LOST TAPES

2009-02-23T13:04:00.011+01:00

It's time to share some of my own material from the good old Up Hygh days. This track was made right after we'd finshed The Venus Album, but was never released. It features the much hyped, London-based vocalist Fatima, who also appears on my new album with Hygher Baby. Raw Fusion label boss Mad Mats really liked the song, and ended up making a DJ-friendly edit of it, which I'm also sharing with you.

MY NEW ALBUM IS OUT!!!

2009-02-21T17:12:00.003+01:00

FINALLY!!! My new R&B-project is out!!!

Hygher Baby is a brand new project, consisting of the highly respected soul prodigy Melo alongside producer/rapper Pure P who was one half of the hiphop duo Up Hygh that recieved a major buzz in 2006 among big names like ?uestlove (The Roots), Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) & Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1) due to their debut album release. Up Hygh worked with a big mix of internationally known vocalists during thier 3 years together, and even got to remix artists like Bill Withers and Lemar. In that period of time they also did a lot of work with the multi talanted singer Melo which often resulted in classic material such as the song "Get Out My Face". Melo has been involved in a vast amount of projects and releases with producers such as Rasmus Faber, Bugz In The Attic and Simbad. Since Up Hygh's split up in 2006 Pure P and Melo decided to do create something different from their previous work and go for a solid R&B record. And that is exactly what they have done.

The album "Let Me Play U Something U Have Never Heard" gives you a soulful shower of strong melodies, warm synthpads, filtered samples and funky bass-lines. The true definition of music from the soul.

BUY IT ON ITUNES!

LATOIYA WILLIAMS

2009-02-20T09:18:00.003+01:00

Time to highlight one of my favorite contemporary soul/R&B-singers and undoubtably one of the most slept on in the world! I first heard Latoiya Williams on a track called "Fallen Star" from Snoop Dogg's "Doggy Style Allstars" compilation back in 2002 and got totally blown away. Ever since I've been waiting for an album to drop, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to release that much music at all. So I've decided to share three of her strongest performances, including the incredible "Fallen Star", to get the world to awaken from this sleeping state. PRAISE THIS WOMAN, YOU FOOLS!

Latoiya Williams - Fallen Star 320kbps

Anthony Hamilton feat. Latoiya Williams - My First Love 320kbps

2009-02-18T10:36:00.006+01:00

I work part time as a music production teacher at a school with a lot of hip hop and soul-orientated classes. With the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man I would definitely claim that the youth of today, especially "hiphopers", listen to A BIG PILE OF DUTTY, AUTO TUNED DOGSHIT. But yesterday I passed two kids in the corridor that had their ipod hooked up to a pair of speakers. And the music coming out of those speakers wasn't anywhere near the shit I usually hear at the school. The boys, who probably where about 16 years old, played some really dope tracks and left me extremely impressed and hopeful! Shit like that is inspirational to me...

Here's one of the cuts they played:

Group Home - Up Against the Wall (Low Budget Mix) 320kbps

SUNDAY TREAT

2009-02-15T17:47:00.004+01:00

One of the tracks that really swept a warm feeling over the dancefloor at Devotion last friday was this jazzy boogie-gem. It's bit cheesey but I don't mind at all... Nor did our DOPE crowd at the club!

George Duke - Brazilian Love Affair 320 kbps

THE DAY AFTER...

2009-02-14T16:23:00.009+01:00

Peace to everyone that got down at club Devotion yesterday, you brought some good vibes! See you again next month. Pictures will hit you soon on the Devotion blog.

So today I'm tired but happy. Chilled on the couch all day. This song is perfect for that type of mood with its smooth grooves... Enjoy!

C. B. Overton - If I Can't Stop You 320kbps

DEVOTION 13/2

2009-02-12T11:25:00.002+01:00

Yup, it's goin' down! Tomorrow we start the new club-year with Devotion. Me & Will-Rock bring you the best of SOUL/BOOGIE/R&B. More info on the Devotion blog (swedish only).

SWEET SOUL

2009-02-11T11:09:00.006+01:00

Time for one of my (many) favorite Aretha-cuts! This is one of a handful of cover-versions, based on the 1964-original written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Highly recommended!

Aretha Franklin - Oh No Not My Baby 320 kbps

SO NATURAL

2009-02-10T23:20:00.007+01:00

I could listen to this song for days! I guess I have the same taste as Pete Rock...

The Natural Four - Try Love Again 320 kbps

WHO DOESN'T LIKE THIS?!

2009-02-10T23:11:00.003+01:00

Charlie Wilson is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, so I really wanted to drop this one here. A truly amazing gem off of the 1979-ablum "The Gap Band" and one of the fonkyest jams in history!

Ps. Props to Will-Rock that first introduced it to me. It almost made me do a backflip! Ds.

The Gap Band - Open Up Your Mind (Wide) 320 kbps

WELCOME!

2009-02-10T10:57:00.003+01:00

This is it! I'm making my first mark on this blog. It's gonna serve all the soulful music lovers out there with great songs in good sound quality. Hope you'll enjoy.

So, for my first post I've chosen something that I really like and also have had my hands on. It's an edit of a great LTD-song where I've cut out some parts that weren't as great as the rest of the song. Of course I fixed a good intro too!

LTD - Love is What You Need (PURE P EDIT) 320 kbps
