Leo's Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine

This tune comes highly recommended by Boogie Banger. It's amazing, so mellow but at the same time it's a definite groover. The song appears on We Need Each Other. The album was originally released by Lyons Records in 1978 and reissued by Expansion Records couple of years ago. The album is pretty solid as a whole. It's ideal for djs/producers cause it has 4 vocal cuts and instrumentals for the same tracks. Among others, it features the original version of I'm Back For More that became a big hit for Al Johnson few years later.

"Book Alert"

Hi, I just returned home from a trip to my local Barnes & Noble looking for anything new I don't have yet by Betty Lou Phillips and wouldn't you know it - nothing! Bummer! Although my hands did find another beautiful book. It's called "French Country Living" beautifully written by Caroline Clifton-Mogg with delightful photography by Christopher Drake. Each page is inspired by the french countryside with light and airy spaces with soft gray hues, beautiful textures and small prints. Imagine this kitchen with friends and wine. What stories we could share!
Chippy paint console with white and glass lovelies!
Love love this chandelier!

If this were my bedroom I would certainly have sweet dreams!
Simply beautiful.
Beautiful Monogram Blue and Natural Linen Pillows. They look so comfy! I can never have enough natural linen in my home.
How I would love to enjoy this table every morning with my sweet tea and watercolours. I wonder what scenery my brushes would paint? Vineyards? A Charming Farm? Hmmm... I love all the airy spaces ~ only if I could live this way.
Enjoy.

I hope everyone has a great day! Au revoir!

The Alexander Review - I Want You

Today's post is a great latin funk version of I Want You (She's So Heavy). The arrangement is completely different from the original which in this case is a must. I really can't tell a lot about The Alexander Review (neither could discogs or allmusic) but I guess it's enough that I'm really feeling the track. It appears on the band's self-titled album released by Vaya Records in 1975. The song can also be found on Latin Breakbeat, Basslines & Boogaloo, an excellent compilation issued by Harmless Records.

You probably know (at least you should) that the song is written by THE duo Lennon-McCartney. The original version that appears on Abbey Road is one of my all time favorite Beatles' song. For some reason it's a bit underrated, I guess mostly due to it's length that doesn't make the song very radio friendly. Anyways, it's a massive song.

The Isley Brothers - Take Inventory

Take Inventory appears on Get Into Something that was published in 1970 by the Isleys' own label T-Neck. The track is really tight and not so often played. Well, I'm not gonna babble on the tune. Instead I'll let the music speak for itself. And just for the record, I disagree on the message of the song.

Pamoja - Oooh, Baby

This is an amazing dancefloor funk groover with a great break. A perfect tune for a perfect girl. Originally released by Keiper Productions in 1975 as the b-side of Only The Lonely Know. This is a true hard-to-find record but luckily there's a good quality repress issued by Lotus Land.

DJ Waxtastic - Månsteri Mixtape 1.0

I haven't posted a mixtape for a while so I figured now's the time. Månsteri Mixtape 1.0 is an excellent and versatile mix of all things funky. It was put together by a friend of mine, DJ Waxtastic, the music slave of The Original Hamsters. He has uploaded a couple of other solid mixtapes as well. You'll find them here. Enjoy!

At the moment DJ Waxtastic is located in Montreal without his turntables so he's getting serious withdrawal symptoms. So if you're in Montreal and planning a party, help the man out out and book him. I can guarantee that he'll make those asses shake.

Har-You Percussion Group - Welcome To The Party

In 2007 Jazzman Records re-issued an amazing and very rare 7" by Har-You Percussion Group. Welcome To The Party that appears on the a-side is guaranteed to work on the dancefloor. It's a solid latin groover with great congas by Montego Joe. The name of the band comes from the fact that the members were part of Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited.
