Back In The Day Joint

The days of less frequent posting has begun, but I am planning on picking up the pace again as I get the time to check out a bunch of new songs. This post has a bit of retro-theme with some of the songs being true throwbacks, and the rest part of the new wave or retro sounding songs, courtesy of Aeroplane's mix CD for Mixmag.

Also, I just dropped a new track as BPM called "Next" check it out here: onlydjbpm

My genre of the day: Italo-disco

What you need to be listening to:

I'll Be Around - Rappin' 4-Tay
True old-school making use of the Spinners' "I'll Be Around." It sounds like something Lupe would put out now, but a little more real.

Kilometer (Aeroplane 'Italo 84' Mix) - Sebastien Tellier
This is the first of two songs off of Aeroplane's ill mix CD: it is the well-hyped Kilometer mix that I mentioned on my post of the A-Trak remix. After hearing it in the mix, I couldn't resist putting it up. Definitely has the retro feel with a modern edge. Aeroplane does it again.

Lion (Bag Raiders Remix) - zZz
The second of the songs off of the mix CD, this is a feel good remix from yet another great Australian electro act. Imagine the guitars from their Fun Punch replaced with a piano.

And a true throwback:

Buddy - De La Soul + Native Tongues
De La Soul with Q-Tip, Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifah, and Monie Love. It doesn't get much more back in the day than that.
