Time to Re-Otis

If Jay-Z and Kanye West make a tribute to Otis Redding is kind of inevitable there'll be a big fall out. A lot of musicians, artists, djs and so on are rethinking one of the biggest ones and that's good for us. Because there's nothing wrong in revisiting, remixing, re-editing music like Redding's. That music will just never die. Not easy to make it better, just different. And different's good enough.

Hard to Handle - Otis Redding (Hawk Edits re-edit) by Jackmaster Hawk
The real thing. Re-edited, and done pretty well!

Otis feat. Otis Redding by watchthethrone
Amd this is the Jay/West idea. Absolutely not a bad idea.

Otis Redding - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (scratchandsniff re-rub) by scratchandsniff
Is there anybody who doesn't know this one? No way. Another good re-edited version.

Dj Czech Vs Otis "Hard to Handle" by Dj Czech
This tune comes from unsuspicious times... maybe JayZ or Kanye heard it?

Accents of: September

Back in my place, everything starts again. It's September, a month that I don't exactly love, but there it is. For many many people September will always be 9/11, and all it comes with. For others it's just autumn coming up, everybody back to work, study, lines in the tube, falling leaves, rain ... I don't actually share all that autumn poetry thing, so I try to get some from music.

First of all, a little tribute, thinking about ten years ago.


This is not a new album, but I think it has the right sounds, perfectly fitting the title. A nice mix between jazz and hip-hop, cool and warm at the same time.


Maybe I'll regret this choice...This italian post-rock group it's definitely far from my favourite kind. Too many guitars, too much rock, too much crashes and rides ;)) But they're good, and I like it, yes I do. And maybe you'll like it too. I'm open minded for god sake!


Back into myself. I chose to link a track and not the whole thing just to stick to the title of this post. But this work it's absolutely worth of listening from A to Z. Coolest rhymes on coolest grooves.
