Trading autumn

Autumn is making its way strongly into our lives the past days, nights are back to chill mode, everything is starting to shrink into cozy situations and the free spirit of summer is about to find a place to rest for a while. Well... not just yet!

Fresh EP from Kiu D with this killer tune, along with two tracks inspired by Teena Marie's "I need your lovin" and a "Summer" track.

I'd like to take autumn back after this. Or trade it with one last summer weekend.

*Here's another point of view on Teena Marie's track by Sleazy McQueen.

Fairy tune

In coherence with the previous post's tune, this one comes from Thrupence who probably is related to Edward Vanzet -I'm no Poirot, but Jack Vanzet and Edward Vanzet, both from Melbourne, has to mean something.

So lovin' the fairy tale '30s or '40s intro, the sample, the beat, the atmosphere, the vocals, everything about it. The whole album Lessons is about to be released on September 26th, so watch for it. And have a great week full of fine tunes. :-)

September Sunday night in notes

If I had to pick a tune that reflects how a September Sunday night feels like, I probably couldn't think of anything closer to this mood than this piece of awesomeness.



Bitter, sweet, melancholic, cuddling, emotional, slothful, cool. All these mixed together and put to notes from the other hemisphere once again, by this talented dude, Edward Vanzet, who is about to release his first album titled "Lichen".

Have I ever told you how much I love Australian producers? I bet I have.

Coco disco

It's that time of year again when I'm bored of all my old car cds, mp3 files, records and tunes and I'm desperately seeking for something fresh to get me going again. And guess what.



Found it!
Fresh EP from Alien Disco Sugar, a producer that's definitely growin' into my favorite ones, making good use of the disco sound with a little bit of tickle at Deodato's "Keep on movin'" and Gayle Adams' "Love fever", followed by the coconut feeling of Coco and the inspiration of Good Old Love.

Thumbs up. Both of them.

Freaking back

After two weeks full of pictures, sand, laughter, swimming, sun, rest, food, drinks, books, coffee and loads of good music and love, I'm back to my base, charged and all, carrying among other things an ear infection as a souvenir. So I might have a defective right ear at the moment, but I can certainly hear the sweet sound of The Emotions.

The sisters along with a little help from Earth Wind & Fire really get it on. My ear just popped!

Beach, please!

If you asked me two days ago, I'd say this is the worst summer ever. But when all go wrong, something has to be right, right? Right. So with the so fully anticipated vacation on the way, vacation which I came very close to missing completely this year, I finally feel it's time to just let everything be and head to a fine beach, with good company and the best music I can gather up in a very short time. And this is the beat I wanna follow in this year's summer vacation.

So long! See you in a couple of weeks, mates. Have a great time y'all!

Il lupo rocks

Sometimes I can't even believe my (clogged) ears when it comes to '70s music.

First heard of it by Psychemagik (check out post here). As you can see it wasn't possible that this piece of utter inspiration wouldn't find its way into this blog and have a special presentation.

Put together by Italian musicians Ivano Fossati and Oscar Prudente in 1973, this tune couldn't but be discovered 40 years later by young producers and be served to all the passionate listeners out there.

**Warning: This is a heart-attack provoking tune. Be cautious.
