ANOTHER PART OF MJ: MICHAEL JACKSON REMAKES, REMIXES & RE-EDITS VOL 1 & 2 [REPOST]

In celebration of the birthday of Michael Jackson , I decided to repost this .. don’t sleep!!
Our Peoples over at illvibe are always keeping it fresh. Dj lil’ Dave is really putting it down with the BEST MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE MIX HANDS DOWN…Yeah i said it! I’ve heard a lot of MJ mixes and i like “Another part of MJ: Michael Jackson Remakes, Remixes & Re-Edits ” the most. What’s fresh about it is that instead of playing all the obvious classics we all know and love, he pulled together all the remixes, remakes, re-redits, b-sides, and demos he could find. The result is a mix of hiphop, reggae, house, samba, boogie, and of course some soul.

I was juiced in search of the track listing to find out there was another mix he put out in the anniversary of the Late Great King!

MARK RONSON – BANG BANG BANG (F/ Q-TIP & MNDR)

Mark Ronson and Q-Tip is a match made in heaven. Off Ronson’s upcoming Record Collection project, ‘Bang Bang Bang‘ is a dope mesh of Ronson’s unique talent to create an almost anachronistic sound that could work in 1965 or 2016, and Q-Tip’s all-around cool flow. Check it out and see if you agree. This is a summer joint! Indulge.

BILAL – AIRTIGHT’S REVENGE ALBUM ART W/ COMMENTARY BY Q-TIP & PHONTE

With his new full length album coming out soon on Plug Research the artist known to most as Bilal is getting ready for his triumphant return. We dropped some gems earlier on Blind I so you should be reacquainted with what’s to come.

The cover art is pretty ill though. Has a BDP “By Any Means Necessary” ala “Malcolm X” classy vibe to it.

Check the interviews with Q-Tip and Phonte with what they have to say about Bilal and the music. After the drop!

VIDEO: QUADRON – HERFRA HVOR VI STAR

LOVE Quadron. You already know that tho. Love em so much we will be having them out here in San Jose (June 11th) via the homie Michael Grammar.

The good folks at Yours Truly linked up with Plug Research’s new Danish duo, Quadron, for a live performance video for the last song of their critically acclaimed self titled album.  The song, entitled “Herfra Hvor Vi Star” was recently shot in Los Angeles, CA and features an intimate portrait of producer Robin and singer Coco with band, demonstrating Robin’s stripped down production, while showcasing Coco’s powerful vocals.  This video came from the rehearsal sessions with Quadron and a live band, so this is also the first time hearing their music being played with this format.

Quadron will also be a part of the annual 2 day UCLA Jazz Reggae Festival, which also features Nas and Damian Marley, Barrington Levy, Q-Tip, Raphael Saadiq, Bilal, Foreign Exchange, Georgia Ann Muldrow and Declaime, and many others.
