The presidential mixtape
Week-end, time for mixtape. I searched something fresh and funky to make this sunny week-end run with the right pace. And I found this one.
It's exactly what I was looking for and it's free. It's a nice mix with almost everything you could think of when you want to listen to soul and funky and r'n'b. So what are you waitin'for? Click, download, dance.

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.

Mixtape #8
Looking for music for the week-end. i found this mixtape by a serbian dj which I immediately started to follow. This mix has the perfect balance between coolness and relax. The perfect Saturday. And Sunday too.

Mixtape #7
This mix is amazing. Here you have 15 tracks of duos one better than the other. Male and female voices perfectly balanced between genres and times. Great idea and great choice!

Bye Amy.
I come late. But here I am, extremely sad. I hope her soul keeps singing somewhere around here. Bye Amy.
Great tribute, with beautiful versions of Amy's hits.
Stronger Than Me (Flatline Remix) - Amy Winehouse RIP by Flatline London
Dubstep version of the most popular songs she sang. Moving and kind of melancholic.
"Back To Frank" Funky DL samples Amy Winehouse [click "buy this set" to download for FREE!!] by funkydl
This is a hip hop version of the whole Frank album. It's been made in unsuspicious times and I think it sounds extremely good. If you want to download, it's free.

Another version of Stronger than me, totally different. Good vibe, cool beat, I would just kill that ah-uh thing... anyway, I like it.

Cabral, un homenaje.
Este post es un recuerdo dedicado a la figura de Facundo Cabral, poeta, cantautor, mensajero de paz y de justicia para toda America Latina. Falleciò ayer en un atentado en Ciudad de Guatemala y se apagò una voz bien conocida en la cultura hispanica y casi totalmente ignorada por el resto del mundo. Buen viaje Facundo! Esta es una pequeña despedida:

Mixtapes:#6
I really enjoyed this mixtape. The Dj is Fatoosan, a girl from the Supafly female collective, based in Belgium.
This mix is a journey in hip-hop, nu-soul world, in different languages (japanese, english, french...) extremely well balanced and totally cool.

Goodbye Gil.
Gil Scott Heron died. He's been a peculiar kind of a prophet, with light and dark sides. He saw a lot of things, he talked about justice, rage, isolation. He talked about life and struggle. He's been great. And this is just a little tribute. Rest in peace.
Gil Scott Heron's been the inspiration for an entire generation of musicians and rappers and poets. This Mixtape is a sample of that path.

Happy Birthday Mr.Dylan!
Some people just don't grow old. Think about Jagger, Sting... Dylan! Today mr Dylan turns 70, which is quite impressive because I always think of him as the man under a big hair-bush with an harmonica and a guitar, and not exactly as grandpa.
So I thought that celebrating such a personality is almost mandatory, and I decided to make it my way, diggin'out something that reminds of Dylan, but it's not Dylan.
Ok, I think you understand...
This Mixtape is a mad collection of Dylan's covers. There's something for every taste. From the classic of the classics Hendrix version of All along the Watchtower to the delirious My Back Pages by Ramones. An hour and a half of Dylan-not-Dylan.
When I thought of remixing Dylan I just shook my head: impossible. Wrong:
Bob Dylan - Masters of War (scntfc remix) by scientificamerican
This is a very good remix of an extremely beautiful tune. It really works!
Bear McCreary - All Along the Watchtower {INRVISN RMX} by {INRVISN}
And this is a remix of a remix... If you saw Battlestar Galactica you must remember the psychedelic version of All along the Watchtower of the last episode. That one was a Bear McCreary creation. Simply great. This one is possibly better.

Celebs like the Net: The Roots
The Roots and particularly the backbone of the band, QuestLove, have always been one of my favourite, ever. Now that I found this... the quotations of this group in my music heart have raised up to the top. This is a free (!!!) mixtape created by the Roots as a tribute to the producer JDilla. Fourteen tracks with the strong presence of QuestLove vibes and the coolness of JDilla tunes.
Of course it's been "legally" cannibalized by almost everyone works or play with music&mixes. Wanna be the next one?

Celebrating Mr. Marley
A special post to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the death of the king of reggae and the ambassador of the Rastafarian philosophy Bob Marley.
While the star system is releasing tribute albums, preparing big events and doin' his star system job, the independent music world is not far behind. Best said, is far ahead. I chose some works dedicated to this great figure, not caring about the anniversary, but just about the music.
The mixtape #3
Bob Marley & sons together in one compilation of 29 tracks, more than an hour of classics.
The albums
This actually is a tribute album , with no big names but very very cool and original versions of the most popular Marley tunes from an independent label based in Chicago.
This album is entirely made of mashups between Marley, Hendrix and Notorious BIG. Think it's crazy? Maybe it is, but sounds damn good!
The remix&mashups
So many tracks I found... but I made a choice and these are simply impossible to miss.
Bob Marley - Exodus (HavocNdeeD RemiX) by HavocNdeeDsounD
Bob Marley - Sun is shining (Red House remix) by Red House
Nas vs Bob Marley - One Love (DJ Wax On Remix) by djwaxon

Mixtapes: #1
I love mixtapes. You can just press play and let it go and you're taken in a world of music that can resemble your favourite radio, without the ads, the interruptions, the talking... You can make your buddies dance for hours without having to leave the party to change music, you can just put your headphones on and make your way to work with the perfect mix.
This mixtape comes from a group based in Brussels (Belgium) that created an interesting project around music and visual arts. There's a radio, a magazine and a website, and the mixtapes. This one is a beautiful melt between jazz, hip hop, funk, and cool atmospheres.
