MELODY STEWART - GET DOWN GET DOWN

I've been spending so much time creating the new Soulshaker website that I thought I should drop a bit of content.. So here it is, My first post on this blog, and an exclusive edit that I made a while back, in it's full 8 minute's of glory.. Complete with fukt up galactik space drums..
The original features edits from the great Jim "Chopper" Cohn, who did a lot of the edits for the Roy B label, as well as an infamously hard to find edit mix for the 1982 Battle Of The DJs on WKTU.. Holler at me if you got those tapes..

M.I.A.......

Ok ok, I know it's been a while so please forgive me. I was thinking about making up some great excuse but then I thought why bother, let's just get to the music. This is a little something which is perfect for a rainy old day like we have here today in Sydney.
I just finished listening to the entire album whilst looking out my window over a wet and stormy coastline and I must say it's one of the best new albums I've heard in a long time. If you are a fan of good soul or jazz (which I think you may be if you are reading this blog!) then please go buy this album. You will not be disappointed. The guys name is Jose James and this is a track off his new album "The Dreamer" on Brownswood Recordings. And yes, that's the Worldwide maestro Mr Gilles Peterson's label so the odds are in your favour. Enjoy!!
