Low End Theory June 2007 Podcast

First up this month we have, arguably, one of the best Nina Simone remixes that has ever been made. Jazzeem's All Styles remix of Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter captures the true essence of who and what Nina Simone was. It is manic and funky all at the same time. Nina was a polarizing individual while she was alive and this remix carries on that freak flag torch of hers fantastically. Sliding right out of this great track is the Paul Nice remix of Greyboy's Got to be Love feat. Quantic and Sharon Jones - BTW the Greyboy Allstars are back together and have just dropped a new album and it's tight! Connie Price and the Keystones with Sucker Punch lay down some head noddin goodness before Sharon Jones jumps back in with the Dap-Kings and the anthem 'What if We All Stopped Paying Taxes', what if? Next up it's Quantic's Blow Your Horn feat. Ohmega Watts of his latest 'An Announcement To Answer'. Next up it's J5 with Concrete Schoolyard, a track off their first EP. Quasimoto drops Rappcats with Madlib(could they be the same person!) an unreleased track from Stones Throw - check the video. A couple months back we played some funky mash ups and pick up where we left off with a funky stitch up featuring the vocals of Jay Kay. Let's count it off - One, Two, Three, Four! James, I wish you were still alive but thanks to Kool Herc and the rest of the Bronx in the 70's we have remixers and this particular remix of Sex Machine from Readymade Jazz Defector gives us faith that you will be with us always. Rest in Peace. Blackalicious with their 'Fabulous Ones' keep up the pace with Mos Def and Talib Kweli - aka Blackstar keeps on trucking with B Boys will B Boys. What would a Low End Theory Podcast be with with out some riddims? Exactly. Noisehaper lays down some more head noddin niceness with Me Done. Rising out the fire is a Dubblestandart vs. Sly and Robbie remix. This all leads into our last track - Fred Locks with a live version of his classic Black Star Liner. Fred Channels some Willie Williams to end this months where last months began, well sort of.
