Glory Glory

There is nothing quite like a gospel house belter and in 1994 CeCe Rogers did just that, singing for Jestofunk on Club Tools. Kenneth Rogers III was nicknamed CC by James Brown after seeing him impersonating Chubby Checker at the tender age of 11.

No Ears

Rocket’s People featured on Carnivalism’s very first compilation back in 2002 which you can still get hold of here. Back in the day when when cds were more common than downloads. This No Ears version by Rob Mello was on the single’s B-side.

Just an Ordinary Day for Dennis

New Jersey based Dennis Ferrer is playing here in possibly one of my most favourite situations, outside, in the sun, behind a bar at Kalua Porto Rafti. Old mukkas with Kerri Chandler who (it could be said) introduced Dennis to the world of music production, Ferrer’s first release dated 1998 Collaborating with Greg Smith on I Need your Love.

So, enjoy the mix, happy birthday to us and see you at Carnival!

TRACKLISTING

Soundcloud – Mass Music Source

Soundcloud is developing into a great source for new music and  Deep Space Orchestra is the recording pseudonym for a long-standing series of collaborations between Chris Barker and Si ‘Jazzchops’ Murray, who met in 2005 while watching Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit spin at a Body & Soul night.

“We’ve got 3 releases coming out in the next 3 months or so on vinyl and via digital. The Inside Out ep on Winding Road with a remix of one of the tracks by The Revenge; an ep on Needwant with a Cottam remix of the lead track, and finally an ep on Kirk Degiorgio’s ART label – first techno tracks we’ve ever made!”

Micheal Mckenna also shared a rework of a George Duke classic I want you for myself on Soundcloud.  We could debate which came first this version, or Crazy P’s Ron Basejam’s edit of the same but I managed to get this less vocal version first which was actually produced back in October 2006. Incidentally, George Duke was the musical director of the Nelson Mandela  tribute concert at Wembley back in 1988 and that as close as a reference to the world cup you are going to get on this website.

Craig’s Hot Chip

Way back in 1994, I heard Throw and it blew my mind. Its simplicity, subtle variances and eternal build up quintessentially Carl Craig. It is well overdue that Carnivalism paid tribute to this king of Detroit, not once but twice.

Hot Chip’s album title track One Life Stand has been pawed, stretched and thumped into at 10 minute belter under his pseudonym Paperclip People. We Have Band’s disco themed Divisive is stripped down to a ploddingly raw downtempo track. Their orginal version’s video has some quite nice stop motion animation in it worth checking out after the jump.

I don’t know, the extremes that people go to just to get out of a snazzy dance routine.

Norwegian Good

Kings of Convenience star Erlend Øye adds vocals to Phonique’s “Casualties”. Oye is known for singing over his DJ sets and have given his distinctive voice to the likes of Royksopp and Ash. His melancholic tone is suited equally to down-tempo acoustic and livelier indie-disco in which he is represented in his latest band project the band Whitest Boy Alive.

Rules was released last year and is The Whitest Boy’s second album. Check out their nicely illustrated albums and tees at their website.

Interesting fact; Jarvis Cocker directed the music video for Erlend Oye’s 2004 single Sudden Rush.

Good To Know Chaz

Chaz (or Charles) Jankel has been around the (ahem) block a few times in his musical career teaming up with Ian Dury in the 70′s and going on to be part of his group Ian Dury & the Blockheads.

Chaz’s credits during this period include co-writing some of the groups biggest tracks “Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick”, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”, “Spasticus Autisticus”. His solo career continued through the 80′s and is now enjoying a revival, being rediscovered by a younger audience.

Tirk Records have wisely taken Chaz into their fold ensuring that some of that some of his best work gets another time around, while promoting his newer productions.

Breaks Slyde back in

Matt’s penchant for breaks has been a little neglected in podcasts of late so it bears no suprise to see Finger Lickin’s Slyde muscling into proceedings.

Robin 12 Tree & Jason Laidback have been at it (musically) since childhood and finally crossing paths in 2002 with the track ‘Flow’. That track featured on one of the most memorable dance compilations of the time, Notting Hill Carnival’s institution Sancho Panza and their album “Float”.

Interesting fact; Jason was Kylie Minogue’s scratch DJ on her ‘Fever’ tour.

Jerry Fuchs R.I.P.

Brooklyn based drummer Gerhardt Fuchs tragically died last November. Jerry played percussion for the likes of LDC Soundsystem, Maserati, Moby, MSTRKRFT, Holy Ghost, Turing Machine, !!!, and is included on this mix by means of Juan Maclean of which he accompanied for live sets. In a world of digital music it is easy to forget what a difference the presence of live drums have on dance music and with the tireless velocity that Jerry played, he leaves a big hole on the New York music scene.

Radio station WNYU’s Beats in Space host Tim Sweeney paid a heartfelt tribute to Jerry that you can hear on his weekly podcast.

Juan described Jerry as “one of my best and most loyal friends. He was hands-down the best drummer I have ever played with or seen for that matter.”

You can see Jerry in action below with a live rendition of “Happy House” by The Juan Maclean.

The Juan MacLean – Happy House (Live @ The Double Door) from The Belmont Sessions on Vimeo.

Teddy was in fact paralysed after a traffic accident in the 80′s and founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance a charity to help those suffering from spinal related injuries.

His musical career began in the 70′s as part of Harold & the Blue Notes of which he departed to embark on a successful solo career that saw 5 Grammy nominations, with releases right up to 2007.

Songs from both his Blue Note days and solo career included; I Don’t Love You Anymore, If You Don’t Know Me By Now, Don’t Leave Me This Way, Close The Door.
