5 Tracks Im diggin this week

First up a Track from Italian Dj/Producer, Alex Kenji. He's been around for the last decade hitting up clubs all round Europe, getting some recognition with his tracks featuring on mix's from the BBC1's acclaimed Essential Mix. The beat is solid Tech House, which is something im really digging at the moment, but it is really when you get midtrack and that funky brass salsa brake down comes in that you'll really appreciate this track.

Second of the rank, Canadian born Disco producer Gino Soccio born way back in '55, had reasonable success back in 70's/80's with entries making it into the US Hot 100. Everytime i listen to this i wish i was back in the disco days, epic vocals and just general feel goodness to this track. Even if ya dont like Disco you've gotta appreciate it, without it you there wouldnt have modern day house music etc. If you like this track, i urge you check out his others there all pretty solid disco.

Tercera Opción this guy could be called the King of pop i suppose, Prince ( who i pray you know of). This guy produced 10 platinum albums, thirty Top 40 singles, he started his own record label and wrote, self produced and played most of the instruments on his recordings. He has been a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I have just recently got into his stuff and this is a track I've found this track rather interesting because, and this is only my little theory but i think the the drums and base in the intro is what influenced Daft Punk for the intro of robot rock base and drums... have a listen, see what ya think.

One spot of the podium comes a band who for some reason it took me a long time to really discover them, even though I know a lot of people who have listened to them for a quite some time. Vampire Weekend formed in 2006 a New york based indie rock band by trade but with an obvious African popular music influence. I think I enjoy their music as it is has familiarity to Paul Simons album Graceland which was mostly recorded in South Africa. This track is from their recently realised album

The 5th and shit this looks exciting, Damian Marley & Nas. The two have been collaborating together and will be releasing a charity album with the proceeds going towards a project in Africa, with the possibility of a school being built in congo, which is efen amazing. "A lot of charity albums come off corny," says Marley. "We want this to be something you'd play in your car.", that sounds encouraging! What more can i say, good Hip Hop, good Reggae, giving aid to those who need it = awesome!

Stint Eastwood Himself

Stint Eastwood the man himself, I decided to theme my blog around him for a number of reasons.
I. He's a sicko
II. Clint rhymes with Stint
III. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly... reminds me of so many of my weekends and the aftermath.
IV. Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz... a great track + one of me favourite groups.
