Late Night Heartbreak Hotel

"Heartbreak hotel" is one of my favorites by Michael Jackson and the gang, along with many of his tracks that didn't make it to the top 20 and shit, but definitely sneaked into my top sounds. Late Night Tuff Guy probably feels the same way.


Got the chills with this one, man!


Damn, it's been five years...

Akshin meets Marlena

Let's start this new, hot week with new, hot stuff, bringing Azerbaijan into the game. Akshin, a talented musician and producer, did a wonderful job on Marlena Shaw's "Woman of the Ghetto".



One of the tracks that have been sampled over and over again, "Woman of the Ghetto" is once again remixed, leaving a new top-notch tune to all the music lovers out there.

While you're at it, take a look at "Pebbles on my road" and "Don't mess with me" which both climb their way up to my favorites list and clap your handz for Akshin.

Press refresh

It's a damn sticky day, with high temperature and lots of work in a rather stressful kind of period. And this is like a breath of fresh air, like a cool breeze, like a sip of strawberry water ice, like a bite of bacon potatos. You get the picture.



Take a look at the Giant Cuts page here and listen to the whole release here. Cool, man!

Searching for love through the years

Back to the '80s, along with R.B Hudmon searching for love with a killer track.


This gem also gave life to "For your love" which was released in the '00s.

Hope they all found love in the end.

Change my mind

I love the extended intro, I love the enhanced sound, I love the funky beat, I love everything about this edit on Tyron Davis - Can I change my mind - lovin' the original sound surely helps. 



What I don't love is that it lasts only 3:19. I don't have enough time to tear this place down and bring it back on out of excitement in 3 minutes. But I'll live with it. Cause it kicks ass.

*Don't waste any more time and check out Chesco Franceso Grand and Laboratorios Sinteticos here. A disco, funk, electro, boogie heaven.

Take it breezy

Jerry Williams gave a real solid base to all the producers out there with "Take it easy on yourself", which was an absolute love at first hearing for me. Here you'll get the chance to listen to a more enhanced version of it by the hands of Nelue.



Kinda refreshed, kinda breezy, this one is sheer relish these cool summer nights. Check out all the Sharp Soul edits here. You 'll be surprised!

Funk yeah!

In 1975, this is what was happening on "The other side of the moon".


Funky bass, groovy beats, playful guitar, all pointing the rhythm to an atmospheric, jazzy piano tune that could make you press "repeat" an infinite amount of times, enough to make you start wondering about your sanity.

This very tune was a hit sample for rap and hip hop later on, givin' Chubb Rock something to work upon in the '90s (maybe this will help), as well as the Boogie Down Productions (this will certainly help) and Jermaine Dupri (there's no way this won't help).

The original version, however, comes from the Miracles back in 1974 with Billy Griffin in the leading vocals (listen here). Also amazing, but it's missing one important thing: the piano.

All these raise once again one very crucial question: how bad do the '70s rule, man?

Disco snapping

The greek disco movement strikes back with a new EP from Manager & Afro, two greek dudes that managed to slip through the bouzouki dominance and do their own stuff. Their own disco/house stuff.



This is my own favorite pick from the EP -melody and sentiment: the chink in my armor- but feel free to listen to the whole EP yourself here and spot your own most-liked sound, the one that makes you start swaying and finger snapping.
