Momma's got a brand new bag of Ho Ho Hoes

Mumma Said she's got a brand new bag of Ho Ho Hoes for ya all at her xxx mas bonanza. This Sat 19th Dec behind the Red Door.

Mr Glass & Robin Knight are joined with Ian Spicer for the Christmas party.... hold on, wait a minute, we have a late entrant.... special extra guest Del Larkin is dropping by for spin on the back of the national Skunkhour tour. There's also been talk of Miss Annie joining us.

To wet your appetite, here's a funk mix I did tonight. It starts off on the funky xmas tip and then keeps up the same deeper side of early 70's funk. The latter half is more on the breaks edge but heavily borrowed from the same sound. It gets a little random towards the end as I was digging around for something to wrap with, I settled on a modern Afro Jam.

I hope it gets you in the xmas spirit and primes you to join us on Saturday.

THRILLER Session Versions Leaked

So the session versions of Thriller have leaked onto the net. All 320kbps versions. Some tunes such as "Baby Be Mine" are sounding more dope than the finished versions.
And be sure to peep "Star Light" which was Thriller in it's original form..

Mike's song writer Rod Temperton wrote the title track as well as “Rock With You,” and three years later the prolific songwriter wrote the spooky aural horror film that was “Thriller.” Though the song was originally called “Starlight,” Jones insisted on a new title.

“I went back to the hotel, wrote two or three hundred titles and came up with ‘Midnight Man,’” Temperton once said. “The next morning I woke up and I just said this word. Something in my head just said, ‘This is the title’. You could visualize it at the top of the Billboard charts. You could see the merchandising for this one word, how it jumped off the page as ‘Thriller.’”

Momma's Back with another Cargo full of Soul

That's right y'all, Momma's back for a night of seductive treats & beasty soul. Nuff said, the flyer says it all...

As a bonus to this post, Iv also given you Another Cargo full of Soul. This is also the set I played live on Toon's Eastside Radio Show, The Vinyl Frontier on Wednesday night just past.

When putting a set together I like to give myself restrictions for the task at hand. Because I personally dug the last mix, I wanted to pull another Modern Soul mix out of the same bag. There were a few big tracks on some of the albums (yeah PC, my love is your love) that I didnt want to spunk on the first Cargo mix. You gotta leave a lil juice for your second shot.

Tracks are a combo of 7's, 12's & album cuts from plundered from Paul Carroll's personal collection & Des at DT Records

1. Jose Feliciano - Golden Lady

2. Isley Brothers - My love is your love

3. Margie Evans - Good thing queen pt 1

4. Kal ft Mr Tee - Whistle for you

5. William Eaton - Friends & lovers

6. Paulette Reaves - Its on me

7. Little Beaver - Concrete Jungle

8. David Ruffin - Love can be hazardous to your health

9. Archie Bell - Anytime is right

10. Rudy Love & the Love family - Disco queen

11. Love Committee - Just as long as I got you. (check out the recent Buster Rhymes sample)

Paradise Lost: Midnight Sun

Last night I had a vision.

We were in this beautiful warehouse.

It was filled with people, dancing and smiling UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN.

There was a guy in a lobster suit and a bear wearing a fez and lots of fruit. And the music... I've never heard music like that before. I asked who was playing and a voice said "Mikey Miutante, Brut33, DJ Silvio, James Bucknell, Harry Sounds and James Weirick".

Someone passed me a flyer, it read:

Cargo full of Soul

Here's a sample of my UK & French plunder from the recent travels. Big shout out to Paul Carroll for allowing me to rape, pillage & liberate his collection of its doubles and to Des for allowing me to embark on soul mining expedition of his 70K plus vinyl collection. I also unexpectedly stumbled upon a few gems on my Paris trip.

Iv given you a predominantly Modern Soul mix, with a touch of Sweet Soul and some boarder line disco tracks on the end. All tracks are album cuts. I also landed a rather substantial booty haul of 12" & 7" as well. I'll be sure to lay some of that love on you in the coming weeks.

Here's the Cargo thus far....

1. Bruce Cloud: Walk in my shoes

2. Isley Brothers: Little Miss Sweetness

3. The Voices of East Harlem: Cashing in

4. Peabo Bryson: Let the music play

5. David Ruffin: It takes all kinds of people to make the world

6. The Joneses: Sugar Pie Guys. pt 1

7. Grey & Hanks: Gotta put something in

8. LTD: Don'tcha know

9. Eddie Floyd: Feel my body

10. Wardell Piper: Don't turn away from me baby

11. Love Committee: Pass the buck

12. Gibson Brothers: Heaven

13. The Joneses: Sugar Pie Guys. pt 2
