DJ PR!MO


Hoje faz 1 ano que Dj Primo nos deixou,ja li muita coisa hj, muita coisa de conteúdo outras nen tanto,vi muito ''rip'' aqui ''rip'' ali,e engracado a iproquisia de certas pessoas "djs" muitos que falavan mal do cara agora so fica nesse tal de ''rip'' aqui e ali....
Vo contar a minha experencia, no ano de 2004 começei um projeto na cidade que morava na época São José dos Campos. O projeto comecou no antigo Café Cancun,que me deu a quinta-feira o dia + esculhanbado que tinha la não ia ninguen no pico esse dia.
Eu e o meu parceiro dj cirilo que tocava neste dia e tivemos a ideia de começar trazer un djs convidados,andando la pela galeria estávamos na cash beat da saudosa flora quando chegou o Primo conversamos ele saiu e o cirilo falo mano vamo chamar o Primo !!! falei po cirilo o cara e dj do D2 vai meter a faca não temos grana pra pagar...mesmo assin conversamos e fechamos um valor lembro q ele me disse que queria tocar na cidade.
Tudo fechado data e tudo + mandei fazer os flyers,mas aconteceu a parada + loca que ja vi,a casa abriu normalmente quinta sexta e sabado quando acabou a festa de sábado o dono do pico que e o mesmo maluco que e dono do cafe cancun de Goiania,feechou o pico encostou uns caminhoes empacotaran tudo e ja era o cafe cancun,detalhe a festa seria na proxima quinta.
Nesse meio tempo abriu uma nova casa e eu fiquei na cabeça do dono deste pico pra transferir o projeto para la,consegui no ano seguinte,e e deran a quinta porque do mesmo jeito do cafe cancun era o pior dia da casa e la pior ainda, no exato dia 14 de janeiro de 2005 começou a festa Black Deluxe na Aquarius Club com dj Primo tocando em 4 toca-discos e casa estrunbada.
Para a cidade foi um evento que ninguen acreditava, nem os donos da casa nem a imprensa,nem os "manos "do rap alias esses torceran contra...enfim ninguen.
E a festa ficou por 2 anos bombada Dj Primo tocava a cada 45 60 dias, e por la passou os melhores dj do brasil.

Obrigado Dj Primo por acreditar em nos.

- Clique Aki

A wonderfully wicked collection of tunes — all solid 80s groovers from a variety of Italian groups — most of whom we'd never heard before! The style here isn't the cheesy electronic Italian disco you might know from crossover chart hits — but a bass-heavy, boogie-grooving, post-disco style that's filled with the same great jazzy riffs and keyboard parts you'd expect from American club soul of the time. Grooves often roll into some tightly snapping rollerskating rhythms — and although most instrumentation is electric, including the percussion, the overall sound is wonderfully soulful throughout. Titles include "Don't You Want My Lovin (dance mix)" by Michael Baker, "Gimme Your Love (voc disco mix)" by The Gong's Gang, "Dig It" by Kasso, "Silly Reason" by George Aaron, "My Mind" by Korja, "Love Shot (club)" by The Armed Gang, "Miss Manhattan" by Metropole, "Ride The Beam" by Selection, "Hang On It" by Trance, and "Dance On The Beat" by Boeing.

- Clique Aki

Street Songs became the biggest R&B album of that year, staying at the top of the charts for 20 consecutive weeks and since then the album has gone multi-platinum.

The sound quality is amazing, much clearer than the first copies of this CD in the mid-80s.The songs are all here!
There's the bass-heavy "Give It To Me, Baby", the street anthem "Ghetto Life" (which surely inspired a lot of the hip-hop that was soon to follow),the nice slow jam "Make Love To Me", and the reggae-tinged "Mr. Policeman", which, must have inspired latter rap songs about police brutality.
Then there is the masterpiece, the New Wave-styled "Super Freak", which still sounds fresh and new after all these years. The duet with Teena Marie "Fire and Desire" is steamy and intense, even if they do go a little overboard, vocally. "Call Me Up" is sexy and to the point, while "Below The Funk(Pass The J)" is a perfect album closer, another badass street anthem that reflects the mood of the album. Fortunately, the fun doesn't end there.
At the end of this first disc, there are bonus 12" versions of the hits "Give It To Me Baby" and "SuperFreak". The 7-minute remix of "SuperFreak" is particularly fierce, with the catchy sing-along hook "SuperFreak,the girl's a SuperFreak....SuperFreak,the girl's a SuperFreak".

Rick James had already reached the top of the R&B charts numerous times before STREET SONGS, but this 1981 release was the crossover breakthrough that earned him pop stardom. This is where his mix of P-Funk grooves and Blowfly lyrics hitched ... Full Descriptionits wagon to some surefire pop hooks without losing any of the funk. The album is best remembered for its two enduring hits, "Give It To Me Baby" and "Super Freak," but the action doesn't stop there. James unleashes his inner Barry White on "Fire and Desire," a romance-dripping slow-jam duet with Teena Marie, and the tight, funky grooves of "Below the Funk" and "Call Me Up" are as irresistible as those of the album's better-known tracks. Oh, and just in case anyone wants to stop dancing long enough to think about it, STREET SONGS is supposedly a concept album about the street life of ladies of the night and their, um, business managers.

VA - Sensacional Soul Vol.2


Artist: VA
Title Of Album: Sensacional Soul Vol.2
Year Of Release: August 11, 2009
Label: Vampisoul
Genre: Spanish funk, soul, r&b

Hard hitting Spanish funk, soul, r&b and moddish gems - the second volume of Sensacional Soul from the late 60s and into early 70s, even better than the first volume - and a treasure from the folks at Vampi Soul! The Spanish soul sound here is rugged and raw, usually with furious drums, gritty, usually Spanish language vocals and punchy bits of horn - some with fuzzed out guitar and organ grooves that give them more of a garagey r&b style. Whether it's primarily in a funk mode or more of a mod r&b dancefloor style, it's really exciting stuff all the way! Includes "Hey Hey Bunny" by Los Gatos Negros, "Sintonia En Soul" by Jae's Soul, "Bugulu" by Los Albas, "Soul" by Chus Martinez, "Rudi's In Love" by Los Bravos, "Limon Y Sal" by La Nueva Banda De Santisben, "Donkey" by Henry C Martin, "El Sol Es Una Droga" by Los Kifers, "No, No, No" by Los Pops, "Para Siempre" by Wagon, "I'm Walking High" by Evolution", "El Fuegy" by Los 5 Diablos and much more. 32 tracks on 2CDs with a thick booklet of notes & photos.

Legend has it that, in the mid-sixties, James Brown's exposure to West African highlife musicians, such as Orlando Julius and Tony Allen, led him to transform his already potent brand of soul into a new music now referred to as funk. Likewise, during his 1969 trip to the United States, Fela Kuti's introduction to American funk and soul, in particular the Godfather’s own music, compelled him to reshape his highlife jazz into a controversial new style he would call afrobeat.

Noticing this undeniable link, the Souljazz Orchestra thus decided to bridge the gap between the worlds of funk and afrobeat, all the while staying open to the exploration of related genres, from boogaloo to soul, from highlife to jazz. Combined with lyrics touching on politics and spirituality, the resulting music is raw and dirty afrofunk like you've never heard before.

Formed in 2002, the Ottawa-based band has since had the honour of sharing the stage with Femi Kuti, Dele Sosimi (of the Egypt 80), Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Etta James, Alpha YaYa Diallo, John Lee Hooker Jr., and more. The group has toured across the Canadian nation, from Halifax's Atlantic Jazz Festival to Calgary’s Afrikadey. Now, with international dates in the works, the Souljazz Orchestra is set to bring its earthquaking afrofunk sound to the rest of the world.

The group released its latest album, Freedom No Go Die, in September of 2006. This high-energy release features the vocal stylings of Rwandan/Burundian musician Mighty Popo, as well as those of soul sisters Marielle Rivard and Alanna Stuart. The album has since created quite a stir on the international DJ scene: "firing horns, funky keyboards and polyrhythmic beats to rock dance floors" enthused Straight No Chaser, "a sound as tight as the power fists that adorn the cover" raved Exclaim. IDJ has also sung the album’s praises: "A marching groove and firing horns evoke not only the spirit of a certain Mr. Anikulapo-Kuti, but also a packed shrine going nuts. Amazing stuff." The listeners of Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio show actually voted the album’s opening track, Mista President, as one of the top ten tracks of the year.

Originally a jazzy trip-hop act, The Herbaliser now makes a kind of horn-drenched hyperfunk. The songs- and they are real songs, not just tracks- reference everything from Tower of Power and Chicago to Aretha Franklin and Quincy Jones.

In this release, The Herbaliser is moving away from rap. There are only three rap tracks on the CD and they are bearable. The rest of the album is all excellent, with great instrumentals and vocal tracks.

The formula is an energetic and upbeat mix of hip-hop and funk, with a lot of inspiration/sampling from seventies film music and fifties big band sound.

Opening is the title track which is largely a funky instrumental with darting horns, organ and an incredible bassline. There are 3 other instrumentals; "The next spot" (with an almost Afrobeat feel), the awesome "Amores Bongo" (a delightful guitar/horn/percussion mix that sounds like it should be some movie soundtrack), and the more mellow "Blackwater drive".

Five songs feature vocalist Jessica Darling, "On your knees", "Can't help this feeling", "You're not all that", "Clap your hands" (these four are retro funk ditties James Brown/Sly & The Family Stone-style) and the sprawling 6 minute plus opus "Stranded on Earth" (a psychedelic sounding number with deep bass, Hip hop beats kicking in about 2 minutes in, and Jessica's few vocals coming in the final 2 minutes). This song is simply amazing!

There are a trio of Hip hop numbers "Just won't stop" features Yungun aka Essa, a Rap touching on the changes technology has brought to social life (Youtube, Myspace, etc). "Street karma (a cautionary tale)" is a midtempo rap with a creepy vibe, horns and sound effects (a car revving, kids playing, etc) adding to the drama. It features Jean Grae on vocals, and is a tale about the violent life on the streets. "Game set and match" features More or Les in a spitfire Rap delivery and some nice guitar effects.
