'FORWARDSBACKWARDS' RADIO SHOW PLAYLIST show number 011
.Number 010 is up on site until then .check it
baby ! - www.milkaudio.com
1.
whistle bump -strings of life -whistlebump -uk 12''
why
on earth a uk 12'' single would be 8.99 is anybodys guess but one
assumes that its down to shop greed rather than inflation.it doesnt
make sense...but what the heck....i saw the 12'' and it saw me and i
humbly obeyed its orders of ''buy me !''....''buy me ! ''.still its a
big tune with a stringtastic jazzy keyed rendition given the re edit by
danny krivit (and its official too ! )
2.gerardo
frisina -hi note - schema - italy 2x 12'' lp
with
luigi bonafede on piano...emanuele cisi on tenor sax.....andrea
dulbecco on vibes.....enzo lo greco on bass.....and marco brioschi on
trumpet this is jazzzzz baby....make no mistake about that.'Inviolatin'
is awesome.
3.nas
-heaven feat jully -white uk 12''
another
thing doesnt make sense is the bootleggers keep churning out 12's left
right & centre.this 12 is a truely beautiful re work and comes from
the same camp as yam who ? but why the usa pricetag of 6.99 ?theres no
royalties....no publishing.....no artwork sleeve.....no artist
investment....its pressed in uk for gods sake ! maybe i shouldnt
complain....afterall...whilst im prepared to pay inflated prices then
its only going to happen in the future too....but....u knowhatimean
?????????what say you ?
4.only
child featuring veba -find a way -yam who remix-grand central uk 12''
Yam
who?= real deal.lovely lovely lovey and ''official'' which makes a nice
change....
5.DJ
Mitsu the Beats - Ep 2 - Planet Groove 12'' -Japan 12''
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
! The one we've been waiting for.''Right Here'' featuring Dwele is
simply a piece enchanting music from the killer album from Sendai
Producer Mitsu and his ''Awakenings'' album.Theres a collaboration with
members of Little brother and a wicked track called ''Rendevous''
featuring Mark de Clive Lowe on the flipside.Essential.
6.various
- big bang blow -victor - japan 12''
respects
to pg for the tip off as this tokyo ska paradise orchestra selected
12'' of japanese jazz from da past showcases a full album of rarities
presumably from a cd album to come.
7.Da
Lata - Serious - Palm Beats -uk 12'' & lp
Dancefloor
devestation personified as West London remixer Paul Seiji goes head to
head with Da Lata for already one of the biggest tunes on the
dancefloor.Awesome original mixes plus instrumentals on both with sub
bass added on Seji's mix for the hips n headz and great drums.Seiji's
mix of Steppah Hunter is fantastic but this mix is baaaaaad.lp in the
shops now....
8.racla
-zampa/reflection - soul sauce -japan 12''

last single theres a toshio matsuura mix ......flip it over for the
soul sauce mixes and check out the sleeve.Best looking giraffs ive seen

-never stay long- philter -japan 12''
electric
sheep (shuya okino/hajime yoshizawa)deliver a fine remix thats worth
checking.
12.Koop
-Alternative takes ep - Compost - German 12''
Never
let you go' by Carmen Lundy is one of the all time jazz vocal
classics.....Yukimi Nagano is one of the most spine tingling
female
vocalists around today.Here Koop's live version recorded live at Motion
Blue in Yokohama has Yukimi delivering spine tingling listening
pleasures that'll make you think some one has off loaded half a dozen
ice cubes down the neck of your shirt.Hird...Two banks of four & a
mix by mikael nordgren mixes on the 12 aswell but when you hear 'Never
let you go' the first time....you'll be re winding the rest of the week.
13.Bakura-veya,veya-
/thinking about - - Especial cd. Japan
Next
installment from Osaka label Especial that i think i'll get into the
shops on vinyl 12'' around the end of next month.Cida de Assis teams up
with Domu & Marin to deliver a future brazilian classic whilst
'thinking about' which has already been played by Gilles n' Patrick on
da radio has a melody that will uplift your spirit and fill your
dancefloor with booty swaying singing girls !!
14.Don
carlos-take me higher featuring michelle weeks -irma unlimited - usa

15.50hz-seek
know moore -loop -newzealand 12''
xantone
(search for the sun)blaque on the mix.not sure about the rap but the
groove is great.
16.mini
groove orchestra -are you minigrooved -glop glop mix -follow me- france

only
one mix we're playing on this 12 but its a sweet mix with brass
stabs,rhodes,live bass and girly background vocals.god only knows what
a 'glop glop' is.any ideas ?
17.frankie
valentine -merenga -spot records - canada 12''
deep....deep

tastic.
20.headtop

classic that does the do.
21.various

afro shanigans on a funky slab of wax.300 pressed.super
limited.respects to da jussi & sampsa for the tip off.
24.earth
wind & fire -never -cutting edge - japan 12''
maurice
white & gregory curtis track gets remixed in vocal &
instrumental form by the very respectable sunaga t.very nice indeed.
25.d.o.i
-audible ep 2 -revirth - japan 12''
its
deep.stick with it....big on the bass notes and then trickling keys
& rhodes gently nudge you into submission.At the half way stage
you're hooked and then there's no looking back before the rhodes solo
teases you and you're sold till its close.we love love love this.subtle
ness is in !
26.Penny
Drop -ma futura featuring Hilton Smith -
unmistakeable
sound of Roots Manuva masquerading with Hilton Smith personna with this
low slung low end bass bumpin,rump shakin,hip swaying groove over the
soul drenched soulfulness of ma futura.
27.passion
dance orchestra -worlds theme 2 -needs -german 12''
everyone
'needs' some needs in their world.these are the remixes of the club
favorite coming out november 10th.
28.tama
wai para -april lady -obliquesound -uk/usa 12''?
nice
vocals on this 12 but im heading for the wai wan instrumental who
consistently throughout his career has nocked up some fine productions.
29.Dinning
Rooms -Flamenco Sketches - Nicola Conte Version - Schema 12'' -Italy
Ahhhhhh......The latest top notch ,don dadda Nicola Conte
remix comes to us in the shape of a rework for those rather fine
Italian gentlemen...The Dining Rooms.Due in September with a John 'Do
Right' Kong remix to come , Nicola (the nu jazz bossa king
supremo....)comes through with a scorcher so hot that you'll need
blister cream at the ready.His version is modal jazz with an afro cuban
jazz beat.The flute player,Nicola Stilo uses Coltrane esque scales
whilst on keys Mirko Signorile shifts to a Bill Evans approach.The mix
was completed during the recording sessions for Nicola's new album so
it has the same sound and conception of it.And trust me if you hear
this record and are feeling a little damp with excitement then trust
me......you'll need nappies when you hear Nicola's forthcoming album
not dropping till early 2004.Me ? well...I've heard it and all my
trousers now have elasticated bottoms to stop any leakage.
30.various
- required listening volume 1 & 2 - do right - canada 12'''s
2 great
singles from John Kong's Do Right label.More styles presented over two
slabs of vinyl than London Fashion week but its all good as John brings
us previously unheard gems from Toronto.From hip hop to house to soul
and all points in between John delivers the ''something for everyone''
strategy and comes out smelling of cherry pie.My particular favourites
are Pedras da rua with Terra DoBravo & Ivana Santilli with 'what
matters' but theres 7 tracks laid over 2 12's so go seek !
