Juicy Dancing


Soo, its Friday. I've been on Social Network sites all week, sites like FaceBook & Twitter. I notice people for some reason or another have a strong motion towards quoting shit. People especially LOVE to quote deep philosophical stuff. While knowing that no where on their agenda for the week or weeks past have they actually said these quotes aloud. Nor have they even taken a Philosophy class. Yet and still they try to be deep and meaningful, but don't apply it or even take a conditioning to it. So I am here to combat that. Since its Friday, & I've dealt with these low-life halfway philosophical hush puppy cornballs all week. I don't want to sit here and quote some stuff or ponder and give you something meaningful. I want to give you some MEANINGFUL. Something that will help you get away from the faux-bourgeoisie complex having syndicates. People don't want to think! They just want to feel!

Sweat It Out (A Double Standard)



Sooo, I went to SxSw this year, while there saw many great bands, very few Dj's. Though of the Dj's I saw, I got a chance to sneak into the Fools Gold Party and check out Sammy Bananas & some of Maggie Horn which together are quite possibly in my top 5 favorite duo's of all time right after Moses & Aaron. Of course Outkast is just before them at #1, any who, while Sammy Bananas while playing there was one song inparticular that he played. It was a remix/re-fix of R.Kelly's bump and grind. Mind you this was in March, so this has been like 6 months in the making... Matter of fact I dont even think this is the proper song he played but heck, its A ok with me. Its so live. So take off your shoes, tie your hair, put on something a little more skimmpy and sweat it out. This one is simple and to the point. Not to mention the first two songs are 90's R&B track that were once used to sweat it out(HINT HINT WINK WINK), and are now used to sweat it out... Her'jew Go Manne:

Bump-&-Grind - R.Kelly / Turbo P remix
Freak You - Jodeci / MK Dub remix
On The DanceFloor - David Guetta feat. Wil.I.Am & Apl D Ap / Chuckie remix
Sweat IT OUT

Freestyle For Love


Sooo, This one means a lot to me. Being that I am half Puerto Rican and all. Plus this is somewhat what I was raised on, during a period in my life. I fondly remember going to my TiTi Melinda's parties on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio. It was SOOOO LIVE, or at least what I can remember, they used to go hard, all night. Any way! The Musical Genre covered in this mix is called Freestyle. Straight from a 1970's disco, to the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 1980's electro, had House not come into effect in the early 90's I believe Freestyle would still be a popular genre today. Which is where that whole Miami/Florida bass style deviated from. Don't believe me? Reference any Real older Puerto Rican, or anyone from NY in the late 80'searly 90's, preferably The Bronx. Hell it was even featured in Wild Style & Beat Street. So with no further adieu, from a corner of my memory bank, I Present: Freestyle For Love
