Wet Dreams

Following on from Gramatik’s Street Bangerz 1, 2 and 3; Cold Busted have passed the baton on to German producer Krystian Shek for part 4, and I’m happy to say that he has done a sterling job in continuing this incredible series. Here is one of my favourite tracks from the album, which uses a classic sample from a classic Snoop track. You like? I like.

Running

My favourite track from the upcoming remix album by Jamie XX, which sees him take the original sessions from Gil-Scott Heron’s latest album and put his own electronic twist on each and every track. A nice idea, executed well.

My House

My House is the lead single from Hercules & Love Affair’s latest album, Blue Songs, and my favourite House release for a very long time. Everything about it is spectacular, nothing more so than the enchanting vocal. Below you can hear what the legendary Chicago-born producer Derrick Carter has done with it, and after the jump you can also catch the Tensnake remix. ABSOLUTE JAM!

On The Floor (Rock-It)

Tony Cook, better known as James Brown’s drummer, has had an album released on his behalf by Stones Throw, which is a full-length unreleased anthology that was recorded between 1982-1986 (unearthed by Peanut Butter Wolf). Here is a free MP3 that they have put up on their site, which features The Party People and reminds me of the all-time classic, Planet Rock - all the other details you need are HERE. The funk will never die.

Something About Us

A groovy little remix of a Daft Punk classic, which comes courtesy of French producer Pyramid. Not many people can do their music justice when it comes to remixes, but I absolutely love what he has been done with this.

Blessings

An unreleased banger from Phonte, which was originally recorded in 2002 for his aborted solo album, Tigallo Must Die. This is why he is one of my favourite people in music - real and beyond talented. Check out some more unreleased gems that he let go on his Swift FM account the other day HERE.

My God

First track to come from Pusha’s upcoming mixtape, Fear Of God. Teaming up with KanYe was the best decision he could have ever made. This proves why he is one of my favourite rappers.

Sick video for JME’s latest single, JME. I have so much time for this guy and his music. Probably the funniest skank I’ve ever seen @ 2:37.

Love Playlist

So it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and although I don’t really believe in it and have no-one to share it with in person this year, I felt it necessary to put a little playlist together for all the lovers out there. There is something in here for everyone, no matter your gender or relationship status - it includes some of my most loved and personal pieces of music ever. After the jump you can find the tracklist and a download link for all 25 tracks. Oh, and if you were wondering, my favourite love song of all-time is My Cherie Amour by Stevie Wonder.

This has been the most difficult weekend weekend of my life, but I hope everyone has a nice Valentine’s Day. ❤
