Fight on: ALI OMAR 16/03/58 to 23/06/09

I chose "Fight on" instead of RIP, because just like the great Mohammed Ali was a fighter, so was Ali Bin Mohammed Omar. Not often with his fist but always with his voice, his heart and his actions. Ali fought the good fight for the underdog, for the independent merchants, the indigenous, the young and the old. He stuck it to the man and the empty leaders when they turned their backs on the small guy, the common man and the underprivileged. Although small in stature himself, he roared like the lions in Zion with his words and actions.

This mix is a collection of smoking beats and leftfield soul that remind me of Ali and his attitude to life. Its emotionally charged, so sit back, roll a fat one, pour a long one and enjoy. I hope you can feel a little of what Im saying in these tracks.

I can see the selecta now, still fighting the good fight. Ali's on stage, taking the mic off MJ, pushing both him & Farrah aside and sitting them in their places as he now prepares to shake down the universe's biggest stage in a rubbadub style.

Twenty Four Hour Lover


Ooh baby.... The Twenty four hour lover is keeping with my recent mix formats. All cuts are taken from 7" originals with the pace picking up with disco funk & boogie gems. No pilfered, stolen or acquired digital downloads here bro, and no cd or compilation prostitution. Its just two turntables and a one take mix of 45s, so its a little rusty in places cos' I had a few wines & cant be fucked starting again. None the less all the booty shakers are of the same vibe and a nice indication of the sound we're gunna to lay out for you this Sunday.

Dont freak out, I aint no purist chin stroker, any format is cool in my school. Its all about the music not the format. Buy, play, download it any way you can. I have thousands of digital files I'll manipulate into mixes and release on your ass someday soon.


Intro: 24 hour lover
1. Bloodstone - Nite time fun
2. Eugene Record - Fan the fire
3. Fatback - Take it any way you want it
4. Super Wolf - Anybody can do it
5. Slave - Just a touch
6. Cheri - Murphy's Law
Interlude: Naughty Stewardesses
7. Asphalt Jungle - Freakin Time pt 1
8. Avenue B Boogie Band - Bumper to Bumper
9. Denise La Salle - Move your body
10. Gloria Gaynor - Anybody want to party
11. Bombers - Lets Dance
12. LTD - Dance "n" Sing "n"
13. Joe Thomas - Make your move

Something important alright'. Sixty minutes of deep funky love from my funk 45 collection. There's a couple rockin horse droppings in here with a few more common tracks that sat well with the mood & tone. I did make an excursion off the strictly 45 pathway by unloading a 12 minute chugger from Richard "Dimples" Fields album, (it's finger lickin good) not the title track but rather "Dat Richfield Kat" named after his label.
