Sharon is leaving the famous musical Hair and explains why and what are her plans for the future. Relaxed and modest, she complains about all the crap in the music business and says that although she
didn't want to be a top singer, she loved what she did.Depois de um tempo sem postar, estou de volta com um video surpreendente de 1971: Sharon Redd, uma das maiores cantoras da disco que infelizmente faleceu em 1992, em uma entrevista para o GTK, um programa de TV produzido e exibido pela ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company). Sharon esta deixando o famoso musical Hair e explica por que, e tambem fala sobre seus planos para o futuro. Relaxada e humilde, reclama de todo o lixo que existe no mercado musical e diz que embora nao estivesse buscando sucesso mundial, ela amava o que fazia.Another rare video, a different version of "Can You Handle It" with Sharon on a TV show / Outro video raro, uma versao diferente de "Can You Handle It", com Sharon em um programa de TVNever Give You Up Here there are also two videos she recorded in 1988 of previously released songs / Dois videos que ela gravou em 1988 de musicas lancadas anteriormente:Beat The Street (1982)Love Insurance (1979 as/como Front Page)
"We Don't Know" - videoThrough one of our constant musical exchanges, my friend Camilo Rocha showed me a track he had found in a blog. With samples of Sylvia Striplin's "Give Me Your Love", it touched me right away and, since then, American Solid Bump Records became one of my favorite new labels (download and read more about the track here).I found out that Laberge, the brain behind "Gimmie Your Love", is a 22-year-old young Canadian who's been the apple of the eye of Solid Bump's A&R and producers Eric Kozak and Clayton Meador, aka White Girl Lust. After some tracks on compilations, the first full EP by Laberge has just seen the light of online retailers like Juno, Beatport and iTunes, with 4 tracks that may not be revolutionary, but can touch any funky heart."True Love" stands out, with its sampled vocals a la Stephanie Mills speeded up to a child tone. "We Don't Know" saves vocals, "Just Don't Let Go" has none, and not much can be said to distinguish their instrumentals, as they all follow the lessons of French touch pioneers of the 90s: disco samples, filters and that's it. Nevertheless, it won't be difficult to find the right time for all of them in your set.Remixwise, Meroz (of Beatism Records) gives a tougher touch in "True Love", as well as DJ EQ in his remake of "Just Don't Let Go", which is not on the release but you can download for free here.By the way, this strategy of sending promos for bloggers is wicked because it's not only an effective promotion tool (remember that if it weren't for a blog, this blog probably wouldn't be talking about this release), but it also changes the face of the so-called "blog house", taking it beyond the jackhammer maximal stuff usually labeled like this. Besides, am I the only one who thinks labeling a sound just for the place it's available at is not very sagacious?========================================Em um de nossos constantes intercambios musicais, meu amigo Camilo Rocha me mostrou uma faixa que ele achou em um blog. Com samples de "Give Me Your Love" (Sylvia Striplin), me pegou de imediato e, desde entao, o americano Solid Bump Records se tornou um dos meus novos selos favoritos. (baixe e leia mais sobre a musica aqui).Descobri que Laberge, o cerebro por tras de "Gimmie Your Love", e um jovem canadense de 22 anos, menino dos olhos dos produtores e donos do Solid Bump, Eric Kozak e Clayton Meador, aka White Girl Lust. Apos algumas faixas em compilacoes, o primeiro EP de Laberge acabou de ver a luz de lojas como Juno, Beatport e iTunes, com 4 faixas que podem nao ser revolucionarias, mas tem a capacidade de tocar qualquer coracao funky."True Love" se destaca, com seus vocais a la Stephanie Mills sampleados e acelerados ate alcancar um tom infantil. "We Don't Know" economiza nos vocais, "Just Don't Let Go" praticamente nao tem nenhum, e pouco pode ser dito para distinguir seus instrumentais, ja que eles seguem as licoes dos pioneiros do French touch dos
anos 90: samples disco, filtros e pronto. No entanto, nao sera dificil encontrar o melhor momento para qualquer uma das tres no seu set.Falando de remixes, Meroz (do Beatism Records) da um toque mais pesadinho a "True Love", assim como o DJ EQ em seu remake de "Just Don't Let Go", que nao esta no release mas voce pode baixar de graca aqui.Alias, essa estrategia de mandar promos aos bloggers e demais porque nao apenas se mostra como uma eficiente ferramenta de promocao (lembre que se nao fosse um blog, este blog provavelmente nao estaria falando sobre esse release), mas tambem muda a cara da tal "blog house", levando esse som alem do maximal-britadeira geralmente rotulado dessa forma. E falando nisso, sou eu o unico que acha nao muito sagaz rotular um som simplesmente pelo lugar onde ele esta disponivel?
Minha grande e talentosa amiga e DJ Lika Marques no Programa do Raul Gil do dia 29/08/09.http://videos.band.com.br/v_33362_voce_e_o_show_dj_lika_marques.htm (Faze Action in Russia - flyer)(Faze Action: Rob Lee (left) and Simon Lee)(Don Pandeiro and Simon Lee - Sao Paulo, July 2009)(Veja versao em portugues abaixo)Francis Grasso, the first modern DJ, the one who created the most important mixing techniques we have in our hands today, was also the one who started giving form to the music that would later be called disco, and we're talking about the late 60s. Back then, his sets were a mixture of soul, funk, rock, jazz, latin and african music, and the clubs were called "discotheques". The name "discotheque" was shortened to "disco", and it started being used in the early 70s to refer to the lovely musical mixture those lucky people used to listen and dance to inside those dark, dirty, racially and sexually mixed sweatboxes. Disco music was born.Almost forty years later, this eclectic idea guides the minds of young heroes who, more than stepping back in time, aim at carrying on the passionate work of pioneers such as Grasso, David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Larry Levan and so many others. I had the honor of talking to one of these new brave men, a British who, with his brother Rob Lee, is responsible for one of the most impressive nu disco acts of the moment, one of the people behind the awesome tribute for (another pioneer) Arthur Russell. Ladies and gentlemen, here's my chat with Faze Action's SIMON LEE about disco, Brazil, pandeiro, elephants and... even Paris Hilton!Boogie Central: How was the gig celebrating the Arthur Russell compilation?Simon Lee: It was a good one. They showed the beautifully put together documentry on Arthur Russell, "A Wild Combination", and then I Djed and Killer Whale and My Tiger My Timing played live.BC: How did the project start?SL: The album just came out on Electric Minds. They released "Wax The Van" first, and Dolan (Dolan Bergin, the man behind the label) approached us about doing the project and we said yes. We are happy with the way it came out. Andy Williams (from Yam Who?) is singing and I think the whole project was really nice, to put the new generation in touch with Arthur Russell's work.BC: How's the pandeiro thing going?SL: Er... Well, I like playing it but I'm not good and need to practice a lot more. What about you?BC: I stopped it too! (laugh) (n.e.: we had a pandeiro class with the Brazilian king Don Pandeiro some months ago here in Sao Paulo)SL: Don pandeiro is going to be really disappointed with us! (both laugh)BC: Do you remember the first time you got in touch with Brazilian music?SL: In the late 80s in London, probably, or maybe earlier. It was "Samba de Flora" by Flora Purim and Airto Moreira. I used to listen to American black music at Dingwalls, where Gilles Peterson was a resident, and he played it there. BC: It's evident that the nu disco scene has been strong for some time in different
parts of the world. Are you afraid that another big thing may come in the near future and take this sound away from the spotlights?SL: I think it's gonna stay, because this time "disco" also refers to rock, house, not only disco. There are a lot of artists coming, in different ways, so I think it's quite healthy. When you say disco today there's a lot of variety involved, so it's a reason why I think it's not going to disappear.BC: It's been almost 15 years since your first release. Was there a time when you thought Faze Action wouldn't be around for so long?SL: After Nuphonic closed, it was a difficult moment, it was quite tough, a shame... But things don't last forever...BC: And what was more important for you and Rob to get over Nuphonic's closing?SL: We basically had to get our heads down and write some new music. BC: Of course you and Rob have a lot of musical affinities, but where do you differ?SL: Well, he's much more classical.... He's classicaly trained on the cello, and he might be more into AC/DC than I was (laughs)BC: And being inside the nu disco scene, have you got new stories about celebrities and white horses?SL: Not yet, I'm still waiting for the stories... Paris Hilton on an elephant would be good, walking through some club... (laughs)BC: And what will follow your album?SL: We've been working on new songs, we'll probably be releasing some new music in January or February. Some stuff will be more housey, some on Faze Action, some on other names, like Reflex, one of the names we use for our productions.BC: And Brazil? Have you been in touch with people from here? Do you know when you'll come back?SL: Tonight hopefully! (laughs) A guy from Cool Magazine, his name is Laurence, got in touch and wants us to produce podcasts for them, so we'll probably do it!BC: Talking about podcasts, you're doing the Disco series for Juno Download website. Tell me more about it.SL: We're doing the disco podcasts basically. We look on the website, on Juno Download's catalog, and there's quite a lot of healthy music on their catalog, sometimes old stuff, sometimes new stuff. And still about Brazil, we'd love to come there and play live!BC: We're looking forward to your live act here, too! And how was it in Russia, Croacia, Fabric... All of them were live shows, right?SL: Yes, they were all live. We are really pushing the live show, and the reaction has been great. We just got back from Russia and we had an amazing gig there, it was great to play live at Fabric on a Saturday night, the crowd and the reaction were great. Looking foward to doing more!Go Bang: A Tribute to Arthur Russell is out on Electric Minds on CD, download and a series of 12 inches. electricminds.co.uk, http://www.myspace.com/electricmindsrecords=======================Francis Grasso, o primeiro DJ moderno, o criador das mais importantes tecnicas de mixagem que temos em nossas maos hoje, foi tambem quem comecou a dar forma a musica
que seria mais tarde chamada disco, e estamos falando do fim dos anos 60. Na epoca, seus sets eram uma mistura de soul, funk, rock, jazz, musica latina e africana, e os clubes eram chamados de "discotheques". O nome "discotheque" foi encurtado para "disco" e comecou a ser usado no inicio dos anos 70 para definir a adoravel mistura musical que aqueles sortudos costumavam ouvir e dancar dentro daqueles inferninhos escuros, safados, racialmente e sexualmente misturados. Assim nascia a disco music.Quase quarenta anos depois, essa ideia ecletica guia as mentes de jovens herois que, mais do que voltar no tempo, querem continuar o trabalho apaixonado de pioneiros como Grasso, David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Larry Levan e tantos outros. Tive a honra de conversar com um desses novos bravos homens, um ingles que, com seu irmao Rob Lee, e responsavel por um dos mais impressionantes projetos de nu disco do momento, uma das pessoas por tras do incrivel tributo a (outro pioneiro) Arthur Russell. Senhoras e senhores, aqui esta minha conversa com metade do Faze Action, SIMON LEE, sobre disco, Brasil, pandeiro, elefantes e... ate Paris Hilton!Boogie Central: Como foi a festa comemorando a compilacao de Arthur Russell?Simon Lee: Foi muito boa. Eles exibiram o documentario sobre o Arthur Russell, "A Wild Combination", que foi muito bem montado, e entao eu fiz um DJ set, e Killer Whale e My Tiger My Timing se apresentaram ao vivo.BC: Como o projeto comecou?SL: O album acabou de sair pelo selo Electric Minds. Eles lancaram "Wax The Van" primeiro, e Dolan (Dolan Bergin, o homem por tras do selo) nos convidou para o projeto, e dissemos sim. Ficamos felizes com o resultado final. Andy Willilams (do Yam Who?) canta e eu acho que todo o projeto ficou muito bom, colocando a nova geracao em contato com o trabalho de Arthur Russel.BC: E o lance do pandeiro, como ta?SL: Bom... Eu gosto de tocar, mas nao sou muito bom e preciso praticar bem mais. E voce?BC: Eu parei tambem! (risos) (n.e.: tivemos uma aula com o rei brasileiro Don Pandeiro alguns meses atras aqui em Sao Paulo)SL: Don Pandeiro vai ficar bem chateado com a gente! (ambos riem)BC: Voce lembra da primeira vez em que entrou em contato com a musica brasileira?SL: Em Londres no fim dos anos 80, provavelmente, ou talvez antes. Foi "Samba de Flora" de Flora Purim e Airto Moreira. Eu costumava ouvir black music americana no Dingwalls, onde Gilles Peterson era residente, e ele tocou essa faixa la.BC: E evidente que a cena nu disco anda forte ha um bom tempo em partes diferentes do mundo. Voce tem medo que outra moda apareca num futuro proximo e tire esse som dos holofotes?SL: Acho que vai ficar, porque dessa vez "disco" tambem se refere a rock, house, nao apenas disco. Ha varios artistas aparecendo, de formas diferentes, entao acho que e bem saudavel. Quando voce fala em disco hoje ha muita variedade envolvida, entao e uma razao pela qual eu acho que nao vai desaparecer.BC: Ja sao quase 15 anos desde o seu primeiro
release. Houve algum momento em que voce achou que o Faze Action nao duraria tanto?SL: Depois que o (selo) Nuphonic fechou, foi um momento dificil, bem complicado, uma pena... Mas nada dura pra sempre...BC: E o que foi mais importante para voce e Rob conseguirem dar a volta por cima?SL: A gente basicamente precisou abaixar a cabeca e escrever musicas novas.BC: Claro que voce e Rob tem varias afinidades musicas, mas onde voces diferem?SL: Bom, ele e bem mais classico... Ele e treinado classicamente no cello, e ele provavelmente curte mais AC/DC do que eu! (risos)BC: E estando dentro da cena nu disco, voce ja tem novas historias sobre celebridades e cavalos brancos?SL: Ainda nao, ainda estou esperando as historias... Paris Hilton em um elefante seria legal, entrando em um clube... (risos)BC: E o que vem depois do album?SL: Estamos trabalhando em novas musicas, provavelmente lancaremos algo em janeiro ou fevereiro. Alguma coisa mais housey, algumas como Faze Action, outras com outros nomes, como Reflex, um dos nomes que usamos para nossas producoes.BC: E o Brasil? Voce esta em contato com alguem daqui? Sabe quando volta?SL: Hoje a noite, eu espero! (risos) Um cara da Cool Magazine, o nome dele e Laurence, entrou em contato com a gente e quer que facamos podcasts pra eles, entao provavelmente vamos fazer.BC: Falando em podcasts, voces estao fazendo a serie Disco para o site da Juno Download. Fale mais sobre isso.SL: Estamos fazendo os podcasts de disco basicamente. A gente olha no website, no catalogo da Juno Download, e ha bastante musica saudavel no catalogo deles, as vezes coisas novas, as vezes antigas. E ainda sobre o Brasil, adorariamos chegar ai para tocar ao vivo!BC: Nos tambem adorariamos! E como foi na Russia, Croacia, no Fabric... Todos foram lives, certo?SL: Sim, todos foram shows ao vivo. Estamos realmente investindo no show ao vivo, e a reacao tem sido otima. Acabamos de voltar da Russia e tivemos uma gig incrivel la, foi otimo tocar ao vivo no Fabric em um sabado a noite, o publico e a reacao foram otimos. Estou ansioso para fazer isso mais!"Go Bang: A Tribute to Arthur Russell" foi lancado pelo Electric Minds em CD, download e uma serie de singles em vinil. electricminds.co.uk, http://www.myspace.com/electricmindsrecords

Hi, friends!I'm back after 4 hectic months to share with you a couple of sets of two guys who are not only among my best friends and greatest supporters ever, but also two guys who know a lot about music and have a lot to teach us.Sao Paulo's journalist and DJ Camilo Rocha has mixed 19 tracks which range from downtempo, soul and funk to disco and house, with a coherence that few people can achieve. The mix is hosted by Brazilian important DJs website Deep Beep. London-born and Berlin-based Jonty Skrufff also writes and plays brilliantly, and delivers here an energetic techno mix for the acclaimed German magazine Electronic Beats, with Robert Hood, Jesse Rose and the wonderful Shit Robot's "I Got A Feeling" in the track list. OriginalBrazilian edition - green vinylListen to parts 1 and 2.Thirty years ago, a 12 inch changed the world of music. "Rapper's Delight", a 15-minute song by Sugarhill Gang, was not the first hip hop song put on vinyl as a lot of people believe (it was Fatback Band's "King Tim III"). Nevertheless, it was definitely the record which made hip hop big, kicking off the career of many kids who had never thought they could make it before. Based on another classic - Chic's "Good Times" (the instrumental was replayed by another band, Positive Force, and, at least officially, samples of Chic's song were not used) - it's all about three guys rapping incessantly about parties, cars, ladies, hotels, motels. It was all about fun. Not everyone was happy, though.Sylvia Robinson was a label owner who called three guys with no professional connection with the world of hip hop - Big Bank Hank, Wonder Mike and Master Gee - to record the track. Those who had been in it since the beginning got pissed off - how come three "nobodies" are selling thousands of records? Some even say it was the day that hip hop died, and that "Rapper's Delight" didn't have any of the main characteristics of the called real hip hop - "no DJ to rhyme over, no rivalry or competition with other crews, and no prospect of concert play or crowds to entertain. (...) They moved Hip Hop from the street to the mainstream, from the live to the studio-generated, from the crowd-centric to the rapper-centric, and from the active to the passive." (entry of Urban Dictionary). It's also said that one of the members of Sugarhill Gang stole verses from one of the rappers of the Cold Crush Brothers for the track, and this guy didn't get any
