R.I.P

One of my favorite photo blogs(THEMTHANGS) has been shut down basically for being too damn good... "IT BECAME MUCH BIGGER THAN I EVER EXPECTED, REACHING UP TO 20,000 PEOPLE A DAY ALL OVER THE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I TRANSFER MORE DATA THAN CNN.COM, AND WOULD HAVE TO COUGH UP A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO PAY FOR THE DEDICATED HOSTING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO KEEP THIS GOING." These are a few of the amazing pictures iv collected over time.

MC JAMALSKI

Not a huge fan of most of his work but he's got tons of respect as a drum n bass MC and is good live. this song takes the gold though, great chorus.

Dopplereffekt

I know this is breaking copyright laws but barely anybody reads this and it's for academic purposes (right?), and i didn't scan them so whatever. Dopplereffekt interview in the Wire, first face to face interview I think, very mysterious duo based in germany. Gerald Donald of Drexciya, one of the greatest detroit techno/electro/U.R. groups, went on to create Dopplereffekt. Here is the Article. buy their music on itunes, it's worth it. and for more information just go to Drexciya Research Lab (the link on the side of this blog). The kid who writes it is ridiculous, writing academic essay length and content reviews on everything Drexciya, it's great actually.

on blast! pt.2

Pitbull - Hotel Room Service (Official Music Video) - The best free videos are right here

this is also a good remix by this dj i met a few times in the city

Gozalo

This album is filled with a ton of Spanish bugaloooooo. It's titled as bugalu tropical but it's not really on the tropical side. It's originated in the 60s and 70s and it's a super sick compilation of Spanish music. It's all really uptempo and some of the vocals are hilarious and some are just fantastic. It really covers a huge scope of what Spanish music was like in Cuba (I think....huge guess) at that time. Some of it even mimics American music of the 60s with a Spanish flair.

So you can get Gozalo Volume 3 here

The Red Balloon

This is a French short film from 1956. It's about this kid's love for his balloon and it sort of defines all of our childish yearnings and yada yada. Watch it, it's only 34 minutes long and the score is so sugary sweet.

FINALLY

I've been asking people about a certain 90's house song for years now. I would sing the "who are you ee youy"part (the only part I knew) and everyone had no idea what I was talking about. Most people thought I was singing "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters, oddly enough she did the song I was talking about. It got to the point where I thought it didn't exist and I was making it up. Whenever I would youtube dj house parties and get into the 90's house jams I wanted to play this song so badly. then today my friend Yocky sent me a classic new york deep house tape he uploaded ( PART 1/PART 2 ) with this song in it. I spent literally an hour and half typing things like "who are you" "make me happy" "happy"etc... into google and discogs with no luck I even searched most of the lyrics, untill I finally figured out she was saying "makin' happy"(like having sex) instead of "make it happy". And then I got it and it was by fucking crystal waters, it was so obvious. fuck. so here it is.

NOTE to djs sounds great sped up a little
