This weekend i downloaded the cool edit by DJ Copycat from Australia of the dope James Brown song “Make it Good To Yourself”. Decided to try and do a quick remix of it by editing some more and adding some hard drums. Here’s the outcome, for your listening and rug cutting pleasure..
OK. This may be a little confusing. Last year i heard the DJ Ayresedit (available on It’s The MF Remix vol. 3) of the “Unplugged” funk version by a group called Breakout of Afrika Bambaataa’s & The Soulsonic Force‘s all-time classic song Planet Rock (which in turn samples heavily from German electro pioneers Kraftwerk‘s track Trans-Europe Express).
Confused yet? Well, I spent Friday afternoon rearranging this DJ Ayres edit version even further and added some percussion, drums and 808 kicks.
And another exclusive track (well, it was until i just published this post and made it available to every single living, breathing, internet access having human being in this solar system from now til cyberspace eternity).
Anyway. O.Boogie is a cool producer/dj cat from Amsterdam who asked me some time ago to do a promo remix of this track Paperchaser he was gonna release with rapper Tableek from the group Maspyke. So i did. On some old nasty synthy rough drum sounds hip-hop vibe. Play loud.
Here’s a free download of my Nas Made You Look remix that was released as a white label 12″ coupla years back. If u want it on vinyl just Google and i think thou shalt find. But for the digital peeps here it is. Enjoy.
Don’t know if you know Aaron Jerome and his beautiful song Angel Lady featuring Andreya Triana, but i loved this track rightaway. The jazzy piano, the mood and Andreya’s voice are just all very, very nice.
I wanted to find a way to use it more easily while dj-ing. So i consulted with the ever funky and helpful Mr.Windmill and together we made the slightly reworked promo-only version below. It’s basically a really slow deep ass jazzy house track now.
Don’t want upset that other Jay of course, but I messed around with the one called Ms. Knowles.. (whatsup Phife?)
She recently sang to, and danced up quite a sexy sweat for me in Shanghai while I provided some rhythmic motion and soulful stimulation, courtesy of my man DJ Hi-Tek & Reflection Eternal (and can’t forget U-Roy, whose track Tom Drunk was sampled by Hi-Tek).
