I hope you all have a great holiday season ~ here's a little Jazz Mix to get you in the wintery mood.

We got a surprise gift in the inbox today!<br />
Brooklynite, man about town & old school DJ compadre ~ <b>DJ Chicus</b> blesses us with a killer mix for the lovin' season!
When he's not busy running Redbud Records [Reggae] & Dither Down Records [Nu-Disco/House/Indie] ~ Chad is busy slinging wax around the world.<br />
<br />
Big ups for including the McBoing Boing Lazer Dub version of Sheila Hylton's "It's Gonna Take A Lot Of Love"!<br />
<br />
<b>And now a few words from the selectah: </b><br />
"It's a few of days before valentines day when I remember that I had intended to put out a mix then. But am I even inspired to do so and what type of mix will it be? As I start to sort through different love songs in multiple genres I quickly realized that I wanted to do a reggae mix. This was partly out of inspiration through the strength of the songs and partly because it had been so long since I had made a straight reggae mix. As I started sorting songs for various themes I quickly realized that many of the hottest songs I was considering were sang by women. Since I love niche mixes, I instantly knew what I had to do. So I put together this rather deep and soulful collection of choice love songs sang by some of the first ladies of reggae, both old school and new school. As usual you will hear many covers of different classics and an edit, remix or dub here and there."<br />
<br />
Enjoy!

<br />
Julien Minarro aka Waxist Selecta is a tireless champion of the Island sounds that have caught fire over the last few years.
Having grown up on a small island paradise located between Madagascar & South Africa, he was immersed in the sun & sand vibrations that helped mold his musical tastes. "This unique experience has taught me a lot of things." he says, "among which the love of people from other cultures than mine & the love of music. As a consequence, it is no surprise that as a record collector I've been attracted by island music."<br />
<br />
His Tropical Heatwave mix, "Island Grown", is like greeting old friends, as he has chosen a lot of my personal favorite tracks. It is a Tropical Bouillabaisse that brings together the flavors of the sea and spices of the islands in a hearty stew that will warm your bones and get you ready for a long night of dancing!<br />
<br />
"The present mix is mostly made of rare disco & funk & soul joints recorded in the Caribbean in the 70s." Waxist explains. "I also choose to select 2 'creole' sung tracks from the French speaking Caribbean as I think they are another qualitative facet of that sounds. The mix ends up on an afro-funk sound from JM Tim & Foty."<br />

The fancy duds were pushed to the side to make way for the funkee dancers ~ and dance they did...there was even a spontaneous Bus Stop moment! It was a treat to have so many of the cast members, including Fela himself, Sahr Ngaujah, getting down to the Tropical Heat Wave sounds! Here's a little video I put together from the night...<br />

The Blue Notes were a staple at Nassau clubs like the Rum Keg Room
& The Back Room at the Barmoral Beach Hotel in the late 60's. Early
on their line up included of a young Frankie Zhivago and
Ralph Munnings. By the time of their 3rd release, "Moving Up with The
Blue Notes"
(Proctor-Blue Records), the group consisted of: Godfrey Deveaux (drums),
Lawrence Makeba Rolle (bass), Garry Davis (guitar) & Marvin Henfield
(vocals). The overall vibe is a soulful Caribbean jazz style which
lends itself nicely to cuts like "Fever" and "By the Time I Get To
Phoenix", but the standout is the band's deeply moving cover of Tyrone
Davis's
soul classic "Can I Change My Mind".</div>

Nonetheless the quartet supplies a perfect bed to float the smooth steel drums as they ride over the track like a warm tropical breeze.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/N5UUjtRoGSc" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>McBoing Boinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358794797561991409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298912167587899332.post-57590983288904405462012-03-23T11:31:00.003-07:002012-03-23T11:39:04.716-07:00McBoing Boing on the radio...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRBW5O3Fu7CoUbSbBhALINTB1SNxT-2JnnwETI3e7XKlGluBdSHGpj7DMQonZ5rwgMY-XcbAsuEwQiD6e8DZWtr1JGkAjW39_-XgRfAnyKeYotKHf316-pekVVhvsXMjn56RJRqrKW98/s1600/McBB+on+NYU.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRBW5O3Fu7CoUbSbBhALINTB1SNxT-2JnnwETI3e7XKlGluBdSHGpj7DMQonZ5rwgMY-XcbAsuEwQiD6e8DZWtr1JGkAjW39_-XgRfAnyKeYotKHf316-pekVVhvsXMjn56RJRqrKW98/s400/McBB+on+NYU.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723163482241719538" border="0" /></a><br />I had a great time with the Downtown Affair crew last week on the radio!<br />Thanks to Alex & Mike for having me down...if you missed the show it's available for download or streaming here: <a href="http://letsgetserious.net/radio/mcboing-boing-on-a-downtown-affair/">CLICK ME!<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></a><a href="http://letsgetserious.net/radio/mcboing-boing-on-a-downtown-affair/"><br /></a>McBoing Boinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358794797561991409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298912167587899332.post-91850228331437160102012-03-19T07:54:00.005-07:002012-03-19T07:59:09.268-07:00"Enter Voodoo Island" ~ A guest Mix from Young Swizzy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYO4JtqZvc0VPqPwO0qxg5qq9vJFy9mazUeiEIUHD4X1zlFCEtT4ZgunUgThsJWKNxYmbatY6Ww4G2WRXGFEZL59n5Q-x2BBq7P_lfOIqa5uPCy_1fGbOQihEY_dqVLqa4nemii1cDn1A/s1600/Voodoo+Records.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYO4JtqZvc0VPqPwO0qxg5qq9vJFy9mazUeiEIUHD4X1zlFCEtT4ZgunUgThsJWKNxYmbatY6Ww4G2WRXGFEZL59n5Q-x2BBq7P_lfOIqa5uPCy_1fGbOQihEY_dqVLqa4nemii1cDn1A/s400/Voodoo+Records.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721619475733466466" border="0" /></a>A young Frenchman in a crisp white suit sips a smoking concoction of exotic jungle fruits and his own private stock of Rum out of a monkey skull goblet while the nearby hi-fi spins intoxicating rhythms...<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" >Welcome to Voodoo Island!</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Young Swizzy </span>is ready to transport us on a journey through French Caribbean sounds from the 60s to the early 80s. He says, "For me the madness started a few years ago, in the search of a different kind of groove when I discovered what <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hugo Mendez and the Sofrito</span> crew were doing in the UK: bringing back early tropical sounds on the dancefloor. The latin sound of course but better to me is its strong influence on more local music through all the carribeans and especially the french islands like Martinique, Guadeloupe or Haiti, with rythms like Begine, Tumbele, Gwo-Ka, Compas...With a really strong Antilles community in the Paris area, French Caribbean records manage to make their way around here, so most of the records I used were found in yard sales."<br /><br />Swizzy's inspiration came from the deep heads that run <span style="font-weight: bold;">Superfly Records</span> in Paris as well as the awesome work of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Les Mains Noires</span> (<a href="http://www.lesmainsnoires.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">http://www.lesmainsnoires.blogspot.com/</a>) with its great mixes of dirty Caribbean jazz.<br /><br />He adds, "This mix is a tribute to two real amazons friends of mine: tattoo artist<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Laura Satana </span>(<a href="http://laurasatana.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">http://laurasatana.com/</a>) & tiki/exotica sculptor <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bai</span> (<a href="http://bybai.jimdo.com/sculpture/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">http://bybai.jimdo.com/sculpture/</a>)."<br /><br />Thanks to Swizzy for our inaugural guest Mix here at the Tropical Heatwave HQ ~ ENJOY!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F32190434&show_artwork=true" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" width="100%"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TRACKLIST</span>:<br />Intro: Mandingo - Tiger in the Night<br />Ryco Jazz - M'Puli Mua Munie<br />Chano Scotty y su Combo Latino - Mi Serrana<br />Orchestre Tropicana d'Haiti - Tromperie<br />Barel Coppet et Mister Lof - Jeunesse Vauclin<br />Maxi Twenty - Lily<br />Abel Zenon y su Combo - Bon bon accourez y donc<br />Orquesta Americo y sus Caribes - La Mochila<br />Robet Mavounzy - Chauffe Begine La<br />Chakachas - Coco Seco<br />Tuco - Tuco's Jam #3<br />Les Freres Dejean - Jam Session #2<br />Gemini All Stars de Ti Manno - Vive le Disco<br />Scorpio - Carnaval 83<br />Outro: Mandingo - Pagan RitualMcBoing Boinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358794797561991409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298912167587899332.post-52941692439651316352012-03-16T14:36:00.005-07:002012-03-16T14:40:46.313-07:00DJing on the Radio tonight<div style="text-align: left;"><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYzWp2RAcxcf1aU0bk31JeiV4q2GsWe4HAhxSCSLf6YR2tMr9jg4G1bDlH2IsNEO0gl3BuFlWuvDtTqQopY9sS0IRc2hw_n1pExh2p6bOM9m17kZ38QBG_HDNzFCZpdVK3de7hQmlQrA/s1600/McBB+x+ADowntownAffair.jpg"><img style="float:left;

The Godfather of Steel Band funk, Clive Bradley, joins the Esquires with Brass on "He's A Strong Man". Clive was a master of the pan, but he switches it up and slides over to the keyboard here as the group takes on a Stax influenced Organ swinger with monster drums and an infectious horn section. There will be many more posts about Mr. Bradley in the future as his output spans five decades. Unfortunately he passed away in 2005 (<a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940CEFDD1531F932A35751C1A9639C8B63">the NY Times did give him a great obituary</a>), but his legacy of deeply inventive Caribbean compositions lives on!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K2uPtECGDXk" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe>McBoing Boinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358794797561991409noreply@blogger.com0
