Album of the week DISCODEINE/ DISCODEINE has been in circulation in my car stereo all this week, and in summary it is the epitome of DIRTY FRENCH PSYCHEDELIC TUUUUNES! The duo is made up of none other than Frenchies Pilooski and Pentile, no wonder why I love them.... aaah French! They started making music together when they realised they had mutual ground around their love for sci fi movies, weird club music and south western french cooking style. DISCODEINE is about club music and intensity, voodoo, chicago house, futuristic disco, jackin' techno, analog basslines, ring modulation, krautdisco, mascarpone and chianti..... Bon Appétit !!!

I blogged about this talented young kid from Toronto a few weeks back, I only new 2 of his songs then Wicked Games & What You Need, and now he has just released a mixtape called House of Balloons (insert squeal of excitement). YES and the best part is he wants to share the LOVE and you can download the entire thing. It is pretty amazing and kind of addictive, every song has his unique sound, with RnB vibes, sexy as voice and a heavy banging bass. My favourite is Coming Down

An amazing live performance from James Blake at the SXSW festival just gone in Austin Texas and an even more amazing set from The XX from the year before. Both equally as magical. I will go to this conference next year.

Whenever I hear goodbyes, remind me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance remind me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true
Footsteps on the dance floor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

When I'm dancin' 'round, remind me baby of you
I really let you down, next time I'll be true, yeah
I took a crazy chance
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

Footsteps on the dance floor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you

Hurting deep inside, she cries on every tune
I break down and cry
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

Footsteps on the dance floor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

"Sun Ra - space-age prophet, Pharaonic jester, shaman-philosopher and avant-jazz keyboardist/bandleader--lands his spaceship in Oakland, having been presumed lost in space for a few years. With Black Power on the rise, Ra disembarks and proclaims himself "the alter-destiny." He holds a myth-vs reality rap session with vblack inner-city youth at a rec center, threatening "to chain you up and take you with me, like they did you in Africa" if they resist his plea to go to outer space. He duels at cards with The Overseer, a satanic overlord, with the fate of the black race at stake. Ra wins the right to a world concert, which features great performance footage of the Arkestra. Agents sent by the Overseer attempt to assassinate Ra, but he vanishes, rescues his people, and departs in his spaceship from the exploding planet Earth."

we walk on the moon....

Each step is moving, it's moving me up
moving, it's moving me up
Every step is moving me up
moving me up, moving, moving me up
Every step is
moving me up
One tiny, tiny,
tiny move
It's all I need
And I jump over
Every step is moving me up

This is how we walk on the moon
This is how we walk on the moon

Every step is moving me up
I'm so far away
One moment there
Moving me up
Every step is moving me up
One moment there
One tiny, tiny move
It's all I need and I jump over

I like you, hey! I like you, hey!
I like you and for real ever baby
I like you

If you like me, too
We're in for the big time
We're right on
I stand up
I'm wondering
What you said
I like you
I'm right on
You can never, never tell you
No, no, no, no, no, no
I like you
If I am for real, am for real, maybe, I like you
i like you, if you like me too...
And forever time, I will do anything
That you do too
I will do anything you do too
I will find any reason
I'm right on, I stand up
I can never, never tell you

I like you, hey! I like you, hey!

Arthur Russell.... I LIKE YOU!

I love love love discovering new music, especially when they bring me back to my roots of hip hop and RnB. Let me introduce you to 'The Weeknd" a young dude by the name of Abel Tesfaye, 20 years old from Toronto Canada. His sound is fresh, smooth, sexy and totally swag worthy. These 2 tracks have made their way from my ears to my heart and have got me anticipating what is to come next.... Listen to these lyrics.
