Hello everyone, it's been a long time, so we have
lots of news for you. Parties, releases & a little
top 10 to boot!
First, a little background. Back in the late summer,
we organized a little Football (U.S. soccer) match
against the Giant Step fellas.
***Turntables on the Hudson vs. Giant Step***
We said to Manchester boy, head honcho, Maurice, "You
round up a team, we round up a
team & the winner of the game gets to bring over a
guest from their city of upbringing to do a party
together." So, we thought we were slick inviting the
Italian crew including Fabrizio from IRMA, Luca &
Little Jay, who is small, quick like lightning & 1/2
Jamaican. Well, little did we know, Maurice brings
Nick Patton & other 'Manchester United' prospects.
(Nick was on his way to the pro's- he kicks like
Pele) not to mention, the little bugga, Maurice, out
ran all of us!! Even Little Jay!
So, in the end they were up something like 11 to 7
when we threw the towel in on ourselves. So, there
you have it- our guests for our next party hold
the "Underground Crown" in Manchester, UK, for fat &
funky beats that are gonna give YOUR backside a
workout on the dancefloor!
(We even had to make the flipside of the flyer red
for the "United" team ;)

Top 10 from the "Vinyl Habit Anonymous" (VHA) meeting
(Nicko's confessions)
1) "That Night" by Jazzanova feat. Victor Duplaix
It's become like one of those "Songs in the Key of
Life" Addictions where I used to pass by thrift shops
& 2nd hand bins just buying every copy I came across-
*This is such a beautiful vocal with perfect
lyrics & a sweeeeeeeet track all in one! Can't wait
for the full length. (JCR Records)
2) "Tunnel Music" by Zongamin
This is that funky secret weapon that's been dropped
on many occasions over the past year & then quickly
filed back in the crates before anyone asked to see
it. Sorry but I had to do it- I was protecting you
from the funk overload! (Flesh Records)
3) "Below the Radar" by Frankie Valentine
My favorite at the moment is the track "past &
present" no it's "brazil" I can't choose just one
song- they all have there place in beautiful &
diverse album. (Sunshine Music)
4) "Take it All In" by Joseph Malik
I got this one a bit late, but better late then never
& the blues are forever! Vocals, guitar & a nice
house beat- This should be hooked up for a movie
soundtrack (Compost Records)
5) "Do Your Best" by Femi Kuti (Faze Action Remix)
This is one of the hottest remixes I've heard in a
while. Nice tight beat, funky bassline, dubbed horns
& vocals- Fela is definately approving Femi's choice
of remixers! (MCA Records)
6) "Bellaluna/ Inside" Funky Lowlives (remixed by
Dorfmeister & Uptight/ Boozoo Bajou)
One day I'm all about the A-side, the next the B-side
so, I had to get 2 copies and play them back to back
last week. Funky-Funky downtempo! (Stereo Deluxe)
7) "Sunday Paper" by Farid
The riddims return! Solid beat, Rootdown horn
arrangements & bouncing guitar licks make this one to
talk about in the "meetings." *This will be on the
upincoming Turntables 4 comp. coming this summer
(ESL Recordings)
8) "What You Say" by Tony D
Sometimes a very simple catchy loop can have you
dancing for hours. This vocal snippet, beat & groove
has me dancing for days! *Tony D was the producer
behind my alltime favorite "Shakila" by the Poor
Righteous Teachers. (Grand Central Records)
9) "String Theory" by Plastic Buddha (Nickodemus &
Osiris' Hipharmonic Remix) I'm particularly proud of
this one because we decided to bring it back with
scratches & live congas- a big dedication to old
school Hip Hop & NYC!
(Life Enhancing Audio)
10) "Tango Forte" by Dublex (Baby Mammoth Remix)
Bounce to this dub-electro-80's-nameplate beltbuckle
style & don't stop! (Pulver Records)
~I'm trying to get the others in the group to speak
out & confess, we'll see how the next meeting goes~
