Remixes & Blues Pt. I
Originally, the purpose of this post was to hand you over twenty-five R&B remixes. Listening to Mala’s Alicia for the 1000th time, which is probably one of my favourite tracks ever done by Mala if not one of my favourite tracks ever, it occurred to me we needed a top list of good R&B remixes on here […]

Sample Sales
“In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a different sound recording of a song.” – That’s what Wikipedia tells us about sampling. Sampled songs are all around us these days. I don’t know the exact figures but I’m pretty […]

Sunday’s Best Pt. IV
“A Sunday well-spent brings a week of content.” Sunday, my oh my, how quickly you have returned to us. I’m not exactly sure if a hangover Sunday counts as a day well-spent though. In case it’s not, here’s another edition of Sunday’s Best to balance out the laziness and get you pumped on some of […]

Written in the Stars
Fun Fact – I’m an Aries. If you’ll indulge me a moment to delve into such frivolous astrological larks, you may or may not know that Aries the Ram and the Gemini twins supposedly can’t get enough of each other. The plural of anecdote is not evidence but as a typical Ram, I’ve found I’ve […]

Don’t Forget Me Now
Mmmmmmmm. I know I posted a Ciara track just the other day, but, not to be repetitive or anything, it’s getting colder and we need some smooth tunes to keep things hot indoors late at night. It’s nine years now since Aaliyah passed on, and right now I’m going through this weird obsessive post-Aaliyah revisionist […]

Remembering Percee P
It’s only been a week or two since I last posted but it seems like so long ago. So it’s only fair I right I talk about someone really special and whose musical output is just as special. Well there is only one artist that I can think of who can fit the bill. Percee […]

He Who Reigns
Square Mode’s mail had me lost for words – I literally only have this little information to tell you. The most straight to the point promotional mail I have ever received, probably. It went something like: “Hello, this is what’s up, bye.”. I got my search engine on and the following is what’s up: Square […]

Sunday’s Best Pt. III
Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Despite our busy schedules, being pressed for time and wishes for more than twenty-four hours in a day, we always find Sunday the perfect day to kick away all the obligations and take some well-deserved me-time. Even though […]

Rhythm is a Mystery
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is a good as dead: his eyes are closed.” – Albert Einstein This Einstein character, […]

Strip Steve Does Lady Gaga
Bizarre combinations usually make for mind-blowing collaborations, but in the case of Michael Bolton and Lady Gaga the outcome has been somewhat of a luke-warm mediocre connection. Granted, I wouldn’t call myself the biggest fan of either artists, but their joint effort Murder My Heart just seems like an excuse for the worn out Lady […]

Feeling Good Fixation
Ever imagined what it would sound like if Spank Rock teamed up with In Flagranti? They haven’t, but In Flagranti have gone and remixed Mobroder, the collaboration between Spank Rock, Blu Jemz and DJ Hoff. Based on “the conceptual premise of the most successful disco artist of the ‘70s searching for his soul in an […]
