HOT AUGUST NIGHT

08.19.06

These got the dancefloor sweaty and me sweatier at the Eighteenth Street Lounge.

1.  Mooch - Sidestep [Jack to Phono] Working as Mooch, Flevans gets even funkier on this limited 7 inch.

2.  Original Sound - Music (re-edit) [TK Disco] Banging, celebratory disco at its finest.

3.  Pastrami Man - Pastrami Machine [Freestyle] Insanely funky disco re-edit by the Pastrami Man

4.  Too $hort - Keep Bouncin' [Zomba] Will.I.Am should make beats this good for the Black Eyed Peas.

5.  Hydroponic Sound System - Uptown Shakedown [Bastard Jazz] Dope mid-tempo skankin' dancefloor hip-hop. Bastard Jazz's best yet!

6.  Le Scratch Funk - The Go Off! [MPM Records] Heavy cut'n'paste breaks. Bangin'!

7.  Lily Allen - LDN [Regal] Totally infectious pop/ska/hop-hop. Perfect for summer.

8.  De Rigueur - Time I Got My Own Thing [Citrona Recordings] Nice to see some new wax from my old friend.

9.  Cut Chemist - The Garden [Beatdown Recordings] Gorgeous Astrud Gilberto (?) vocal sample on top of phat hip-hop beats.

10.  Quantic & Mr. Scruff - Tell It Like You Mean It [Tru Thoughts] Another Marvel Team-Up, another mid-tempo gem.
