Pieces of a man

It's hard to explain how much the music and lyrics of Gil Scott-Heron have inspired me, but here's a small tribute I just put together after I heard about his recent death.

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised.

A piece of boogie magic by O'Spada!

Sometimes you just get struck by a tune that you happened to cross over. Strangely, it always comes a surprise. Maybe because you think you've heard it all... The tune that since yesterday has been messing with my brain is the boogie monster "Time", courtesy of the next Swedish sensation band O'Spada. This is very tight material with a whole lot of souliness and brilliant vocals of lead singer and composer Julia Spada (sister to our K!K! collaborator The Cosimist). Electrified futuristic soul that WILL become something really big this autumn, when their album is released. In fact, I've been listening quite a lot to this kind of boogie/disco/funk stuff lately. O'Spada's sound reminds me of new artists like First Touch and Kathy Diamond, as well as boogie heaven heroes like O'Bryan and Midnight Express. In the press material they're described as "a bastard child of Justice and Jackson 5"... Anyway, we're talking timeless music that in O'Spada's updated take just made my day...! This jam is gonna get a lot of spinns on K!K! gigs this summer!

K!K! Latin Essentials, part 2: Aprieta!!!

The second part of the K!K! Latin Essentials is a comp of classic tunes that in different ways are influenced by Latin music - blending the spirit of salsa and all them Carribean rhythms with soul, funk, disco, rock & house... Gózalo! (Sorry, but I had to leave some of the longer tracks here in their full length versions - due to their absolute greatness.)

The Chakachas - Jungle Fever

Joe Bataan - Young, Gifted and Brown
Al Escobar - Tighten Up

Santana - Let The Children Play

Nino Gomez - La Lupita

Ray Barretto - Pastime Paradise

Francisco Aguabella - Ramon's Desire

Chico Mann - Dilo Como Yo

Charanga 76 - No Nos Pararan (Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now)

Two Man Sound - Que Tal America

Little Louie Vega feat. Blaze - Elements Of Life (Dance Ritual Mix)

More Rumble in the Jungle this summer!

Yes, it's the f****ng FUNKOMENTARY of the year, decade and century! For sure. If you were astounded, impressed and moved by the documentary "When We Were Kings", about Muhammed Ali's heavyweight fight against George Foreman in Zaire 1974, be sure to not for anything in the world miss this funkomentary: SOUL POWER. It's a new produced film that uses much more of the same live music material that didn't get the time it deserved in "When We Were Kings". So this movie gives an insight of the music festival that was organized along with the fight: massive live acts + interviews with the artists. We're talking dope realness material with James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, Fania All Stars, among others. And it hopefully will come to a home theatre near you this summer...

Dj Jazzberry's Springsoul

We're happy to welcome a man that was responsible for many intense and sweaty club nights back in the days in our home town Uppsala, Sweden. Niklas Wessén aka Dj Jazzberry enters the K!K!-crew with a smooth springsoul-mix. As the man himself introduces it: "A spontaneous mix of soul straight from the record shelves, 25 original 45's, 2 LP's + a dj Jazzberry edit of Lil Major Williams' "Girl don't leave me"! Mostly stuff from the 60's/70's with Donnell Brown, La Dellics, Talmadge Armstrong, etc + a few recent ones by Mayer Hawthorne, Jazzanova, etc. Enjoy!"

Kompis! Kompis! crate findings in Santiago de Chile, part 8

The Isley Brother's "Work to do" is one of my all time favourite folk-soul-jams. Digging around in el barrio San Diego yesterday I found a copy with a useful cover of this tune performed by the Scottish(!?) band Average White Band - the group many seem to love to hate, for some reason... Well, I happen to like AWB's version of "Work to do", mainly because of its strong production that is more bumpy and danceable than the original version. The bass-action of founding member Alan Gorrie is the key here, and check also the beautiful guitar solo in the middle! And as usual with AWB, there's a horn section with a whole lot of testosterone - maybe to much for some orthodox funk heads out there - but hell, it works good for me!

NEW MIXTAPE COMING UP!

Yes! Yes! We've got a new thing coming up in april with reworks on those 90's beats mixing jazz, soul, funk & hip hop! Here's a little sneak peak with material from ATCQ, Digable Planets, William Bell & Bahamadia. Enjoy!
