A few summer sizzlers to celebrate the good weather we are having!
Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves the Sunshine"
Had the pleasure of DJing before this soul and jazz legend a few times in Cork, he is a great guy and a true inspiration to me! This is a live performance from a few years ago, i've also included someones homemade version with the original take!
Kool and the Gang "SummerMadness"
This track kills me everytime-I've also included Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's update!
Bob Marley-"Waiting In Vain"
Classic tune from later in his career!

- I'm a DJ from Cork in Ireland. I work with RedFM, presenting Red Drive, The Hitlist and my specialist show, Black on Red. I'm probably best known for being one of the main hip-hop/soul DJ's in Cork and Ireland. I've been DJing in Cork since the early 90's in legendary clubnights such as Sweat in Sir Henrys, Mor Disco, Free La Funk, Yo Latino and also Jam and Jam Junior at the Savoy and the Pavilion. I've also held down long term residencies at clubs around Ireland such as Brown Sugar at the Kitchen in Dublin, U-Turn at Ri Ra in Dublin, Jazz Juice at the GPO in Galway, Thompson Garage in Belfast, the Soul Clinic, Dee-Bop, Meltdown and Mo Bounce in Limerick and i've played abroad in the United States and the U.K. on numerous occasions. I also write a music column for the Evening Echo and i'm a regular contributor to the U.K.'s Blues and Soul, the longest running black music magazine in the world. These days i run the Pavilion, a music venue in Cork, which hosts my Jam night every few Fridays http://www.pavilioncork.com also you can catch me at http://djstevieg.podomatic.com

'Summertime' never fails to put a smile on my face. Funny that...Will Smith has had the opposite effect ever since then.
Ha ha true enough! It's amazing the way the story went really-both he and Jazzy Jeff made crate loads of money and went of on different paths-Will Smith pursued his ambitions with the acting and cheesier hip-hop, while Jeff withdrew to the underground, spent his money on a studio, and is still one of the best hip-hop producers and DJ's in 2007-his new album, "Return of the Magnificent" is excellent, but is not likely to be heard by many.....
I do admire Will Smiths drive but musically he hasn't really done anything worthwhile-I do think someday he will be an important figure in America and if the likes of Arnie and Reagon can do well politically, i'm sure this guy can-Jazzy Jeff though remains a major inspiration to me!
