Tune of the day-Kool and the Gang
Tune of the day
Their better days were gone, and they were no longer a cutting edge funk band, but what a groove and what a tune!
Best use was by Paid in Live and Lauryn Hill! Dude in Paid in Live was Robert "Kools" son!

This and "Happy People" are two of the biggest tunes this decade
Also worth checking is "Your Body's Callin" from way back in the mid 90's plus loads more! Thanks to Frankie Jez for putting R Kelly on my mind this week

Give me the night with Chic

seminal
Ripped off by everyone from Queen to a million rappers, the best rhythm section in pop music history???

Tune of the day-Whitney Houston
Excellent Raphael Saadiq production for an artist who only really started making soul music later in her career in my opinion. That 80's stuff is okay pop-wise but does little for me. Stuff like this and "It's not right it's okay' were huge though!
One for the late night crew! Curtis Mayfield

Give me the night with Seven Grand Housing Authority
Classic soulful house from the genius that is Terrence Parker
Tune of the day (and rap lyric of the day) All Natural
Okay, enough fucking around!
This is quite simply one of the best hip-hop records of all time. It was massive for me when it came out and I still have a lot of affection for the legendary group and this legendary track. The Ramsey Lewis loop, used by many, is absolutely killer. And the lyrics are as good as it gets. I've included the samples of Ramsey Lewis and KRS One, plus the amazing "Julia" by the Beatles that Ramsey covered. Also, there's a short documentary on the amazingly under-rated Chicago crew All Natural referencing this tune. And it's on one of my favourite ever mixes right here here
"Now 50 years down the line, see I'll be chillin
like it ain't no thing, with little shorties on the swings
talkin bout, "My granddaddy had MAD flow
He got some old school, year two-thousand and ten tapes
when he was rockin the shows, and keepin it true
Takin out your granddaddy and his punk ass crew"
Your kid'll get mad, but Wilt didn't run
But what can you say, it's like father like son"
All Natural
Okay
Ramsey Lewis
The Beatles
Documentary
KRS-One

About Me

- 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
