Oh, Baby – I Like it Raw

I’m sorry for the low frequence of posts here recently but we (that means more people than me and Oscar this time) are busy planning our new club. The premier is set to the 26th of september so keep eyes and ears open. I promise it’s going to be something special.

Great mix from Mark Broom. Tracklist here.

Who can’t love a magazine who puts Swedish huligan popduo The Tough Alliance at the cover together with hardcore dancehall starBusy Signal?

My Falun journalist friend Erik Augustin Palm, who nowadays lives in Stockholm, interviewed my Falun/Borlänge graphical designer friend Micke “PMKFA” Thorsby in Svenska Dagbladet a couple of days ago about his forthcoming book (out this fall I think). You could read the article here.

Nice kind of cloudy new wave version of “Riders on the Storm” from 1983. Take my hat of to Jonas from Just Like Music who introduced me to this a couple of years ago.

Annabel Lamb - Riders On The Storm (Dub Version)

Great dubby disco take on Queens b-boy classic from the one and only Began Cekic.

Common Sense - Another One Bites the Dust (Instrumental)

This has been out a couple of months now on the always reliable bootleg label Mindless Boogie but I guess that some of you aren’t that big vinyl consumers so I thought you might have missed it.

Amazing edit from Copenhagens Peter Visti and a perfect soundtrack for those late summer nights.

Loovin’ Spoonful - Summer In The City (Peter Visti edit) (320)

Bonus: Dolly Parton - Jolene (Peter Visti Edit) (320)

I’m the first to admit that I’ve been a little bit slow on this one. But what a track! Blk Jks is a group from south africa who sounds like the perfect mix of A Mountain of One, Vampire Weekend and Bad Brains when they’re not playing hardcore or something (ok, that wasn’t the best comparison I’m afraid but it was the best I could come up with at the moment).

But check it out. The music is superp and their wardrobe aswell.

One vice Swedish recorddealer once said that you never should trust people who doesn’t like reggae. I could agree on that and would like to add: never trust reggae people who doesn’t listen to lovers.

If Lorna Bennett’s beautiful ballad “Breakfast In Bed” doesn’t blow you away you’re probably deaf or something.

Big shout out to my friend Sweet Fred who introduced me to this nugget 8 years ago or something when I moved to malmö.

Lorna Bennett - Breakfast In Bed (320)

Some kind of weekend interubt my women-in-reggae-countdown. But here’s the two last post.

First the rudest rudegirl Lady Saw and her wicked tune on one of the greatest dancehal/reggae riddims of all - Dave Kelly’s “Joyride” from the mid 90s.
