I just felt I wanted to pick up some of the tracks with Summer in the title. It came out that they also have summer deep in the vibe. Pure classic from The Dude is really hot summer's afternoon on a burning concrete with a laaazy feeling of goodness al-around. Keisuke is here with another classic, this time it's a beach... Wherever you want to have it... Fatback is doing dance floor justice with this one while one of Gershwin's Summertime versions from this mix-tape is made by Oh-So-Gifted Allen Hoist and his marvelous vocal talent. California sun soaked album by Camelle Hinds is giving us this beautiful summer-at-the-ocean trip. Summer's are not just fun and sun and here is Gill Scott Heron to prove, RIP. Bah Samba in their Live In The Summer 2-step contemporary monster are here to bring the fun back. One of the greatest trumpet players ever Mr Goykovich is showing and slowing The Summertime, really another dimension in music. Upskiboo is bringing the beat back in this funky little gem. Two classic disco sounding pieces are showing the club and sex and feeling good vibe essential to the season. Koop made an modern classic with this song showing the beauty of Miss Nagano's voice in full effect. Kool and the Gang made this original but Mr Daemyon and great Masters at Work have twisted and turned it into a dancing monster. I can still remember myself on the beach holding the bottle of Sol and going mental to this one - awesome! Love Unlimited with their inimitable sound are just close to round up this compilation while third and absolutely different, from previous two, take on Summertime is here to give well deserved end to this mix. Enjoy!! The next one is all about sunshine...

You're So Right For Me

Disco all-over! It is kinda tricky to mix disco classics since the beats can overlap no matter how accurate you are in the mix. No matter! The power of these songs is bigger than any mixing technique. :) For the beginning, we got super house classic Bad Habit, slower than current version in the clubland but in a funkier vein. Patrick Adams and Bumble Bee with massive break that can be seen as where house music took inspiration from. Hm, just that one? I believe all of these songs are true inspiration for today's artists and can give some new directions to those who are trying to find their way in a huge quantity of songs, styles and moods. N-Joi!
