Brassroots - Good Life

Long ago, I picked up a vinyl copy of Inner City's "Big Fun" record at Gramaphone for $4.99. This 1989 dance classic blended the best of Chicago and Detroit house of its time and has become one of my favorite house albums of the era.

Fast forward to 2010, and their most popular jam "Good Life" was covered by London's "Brassroots," an eight-piece horn and percussion ensemble comprised of Israelis, the English, French, Grecians, and Americans. Their Good Life EP is a cover compilation with songs by Radiohead, The White Stripes, and of Course, Inner City.

Caribou - Hannibal

Caribou's album "Swim" was one of my favorite records of 2010. I hadn't listened to it for a while, so I decided to put it on last night. I left the room for a bit and as I re-entered the room, I was welcomed by the horn blasts on this spaced-out track, and wondered to myself why I never paid this specific tune better attention before.

I've been without a computer for about a month, but late last week I finally figured out how to make my smart phone a functioning internet browsing device. I started following artists on sound cloud and found this gem, mixed by DJ Mosca. I think you'll like it.
Jack in day house!

Bibio - Saint Christopher

12 - Bibio - Saint Christopher by corbinlane

Free download!

Bibio caught my attention about a year and a half ago when I first heard his infectious lo-fi funk song "Jealous of Roses" (right click and "save as" for free download.) Since then, I've been exploring this soloists pretty extensive catalogue which only dates back to 2005, and blends a mysterious mixture of folk and electronica. On March 29, he released his latest album "Mind Bokeh," which this song is taken from. Not only is it the closing track to the record, but in my opinion, the best one.

Gorillaz - Doncamatic (Feat. Daley)

I found out about Daley late last year when he appeared as a guest on this Gorillaz track. I've been a fan of Gorillaz since their 2001 self-titled release, which has become a classic, but it wasn't until I heard this acoustic take of "Doncamatic" recorded live for BBC's Radio 1 that this track really struck my attention.

There are a couple of voices in the music industry that give me a boner, and I think Daley's soulful vocals do just that for me. I'm looking forward to hearing more from this R&B newcomer.
