BLOSSOM BREAKS04.01.07As the cherry blossoms make their annual appearance, I offer a decidedly mixed bag of audio treats, but all are of the high-quality you've come to expect... 1. Timbaland - Give It To Me [Interscope] New dancefloor grind hottness from Timbaland featuring his two favorite meal tickets: Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake. 2. Quantic - Sabor [Tru Thoughts] My boy Quantic never sleeps! New funky latin dancefloor joint continues his satisfying fascination with the 'Rican sounds. 3. The Staple Singers - Respect Yourself [Stax] My love for the Staple Singers continues with this four-track reissue EP. Now to find that Slippery People 12 4. Armando Peraza - Red Onions [BBE] Classic latin heat off the ridiculously high-quality Latin Spectrum collection. 5. Trouble Funk - Drop the Bomb [Fourth & Broadway] Classic DC go-go from 1985. 6. Boca 45 - Diego's Theme [Unique] Breaks-heavy number with a great latin call-out hook. Off Boca's Vertigo Sounds LP. 7. unknown - We Love the Jungle Brothers [white label] Very deep and funky reworkings of Jungle Brothers classics on this uncredited white label EP. 8. Ocote Soul Sounds and Adrian Quesada - Tamarindio [ESL Music] Unusual for ESL, this is a nice break-heavy instrumental. Thievery Corporation get heavier and smoother on their remix. And what's this, a Quantic remix on the flip?! 9. Lady Sovereign - A Little Bit of Shhh RMX [Chocolate Industries] Ad Rock makes way for the SOV on this killer dancefloor banger. 10. Coke Escovedo - No One to Depend On [Mercury] Deep, slow and funky jam from the 1975 Coke LP. |
