I came across a nice vocal rap on ccMixter the other day. By coincidence I was playing my own Bottles to the ground snippet and found it a hell of a match. Kick ass Michael Burnz! Spiced up with some Narkoba grooves!

music = nice

After spending the last 2 weeks in Bella Sicilia, eating loads of fresh pesce, doing daily aperitivo's and having excellent wine, I was looking forward to another jam session with the Maschine.
Last night I found some time to kick some summer breeze ass and composed the following snippet.
One more round then it's bottles to the ground.

While sweat is running down my face, I am posting this taj mahal house track. It feels nice listening to because there is a nice summer vibe going on!
This song was one of our first demo's made together with talented Indian musician Mathew.
It was put 'in the closet' for a couple of months, but yesterday I decided to give it a boost and spice it up a little with some Maschine madness grooves...
Thanks for listening and enjoy your week-end! (A little bit early, but it's good to be optimistic!)

We do not need no laws! We are peace and love! Rasta Vibration!

Lately I got my hands on my man Kinky B's latest demo.
His band Luie Lovers, a reggae outfit based in Ghent, went to Amsterdam and skanked away a couple of very nice songs!

These songs inspired me to mashup some self-made beats, blend in some rasta vibes, use a hell of a delay and get the dub atmosphere going.
Oh yeah, I want to dedicate this song to my partner in crime Lex, who is celebrating his birthday today. Happy 1 to you buddy!!

This week I got a funny email in my inbox. It was in fact an assignment. The email only contained the following mp3 file attached:

(he is briefing me in dutch with a very french accent...)

In fact the guy wanted me to make a snippet in E minor using the chord B as well. He will use this snippet for his test of solfege, he wanted me to use midi, but hey that would be too easy. So I've played some guitar and bass and came up with something nice.
