Leroy Burgess ( a really long Redbull Interview)
Leroy Burgess’ stellar career began on the court – when he started playing musical basketball with his buddies, shootin’ hoops and singing.

THE TV PARTY STORY
THE TV PARTY STORY By Glenn O’Brien In 1978, I was writing a column called Glenn O’Brien’s BEAT for Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine. I was also contributing to High Times, art magazines and foreign music magazines. I had no ambition to write for the square press, I had already been through Rolling Stone and Esquire … Read more
Delta 5
“We’re ready when you are,” the Delta 5 confidently sang on their theme song, but apparently the world wasn’t ready for them. Like so many British bands circa 1979-1983, they lasted just long enough to create a small, compact set of lost classics and faded away, almost unnoticed for the entire process. They deserve a … Read more
SAL PRINCIPATO (Redbull Interview)
Sal Principato: »Alright, this video actually was done in 1927 by an animator called Oskar Fischinger and I don’t know if you know the history of animation. He was the guy behind the concept of ‘Fantasia’. [Walt] Disney’s ‘Fantasia’ and this video is called ‘When The World Got Drunk’. One of the guys from Liquid … Read more
Owusu & Hannibal
Living With Owusu and Hannibal is the debut album from Danish duo Philip Owusu and Robin Hannibal. Packed with street smarts, a cheeky sense of humor and forward thinking production this soul-tinged debut is made up of (mostly) down tempo songs. Juxtaposing glitchy digital beats, fat bottom end, and shiny synths with acoustic guitars and … Read more
Grace Jones

CD REVIEW : Tropicalia – A Brazilian Revolution In Sound
September 15th, 1968: Caetano Veloso, head to toe in plastic clothing and gaudy necklaces, performs at the International Song Festival in São Paulo accompanied by Os Mutantes. As soon as “É Proibido Proibir” (“It’s Forbidden to Forbid”) starts, the crowd begins to groan, boo, and throw food at the stage. Gilberto Gil takes a bite … Read more
CD REVIEW : Prins Thomas – Cosmic Galactic Prism
In a market full of Late Night Tales, Back to Mine’s, DJ-Kicks, etc., it’s becoming more and more tiresome to listen to DJ mix compilations. Sure, people are probably interested in hearing their favorite artists spin an eclectic mélange of records, but these things are starting to feel more like dick-measuring contests and less like, … Read more
Daniele Baldelli (Redbull Interview)
Measured by the years of service, not many DJs can compete with Daniele Baldelli. He started DJing in 1969 in his hometown Cattolica – a seaside resort on the Adriatic coast. Eight years later, he stood in the legendary DJ booth (built into a fully functional glass lift) of the seminal discotheque Baia Degli Angeli. … Read more
BOOGIE ( Article by Greg Wilson)
Back in mid-80’s London, the term Boogie was used to describe a style of dance music, mainly from the early 80’s, but also the late 70’s, that was popular on the black scene. Many of these tracks had originally featured at the time of their release at specialist club nights in venues like Crackers and … Read more
ELECTRO FUNK (Article by Greg Wilson)
Electro-Funk is undoubtedly the most misunderstood of all UK Dance genres, yet probably the most vital with regards to its overall influence. Central to the confusion is the term itself, which during 82/83 (before it was shortened to Electro) was specific to the UK. From a US perspective this music would come under a variety … Read more
Tony Wilson 1950 -2007 (Founder of Factory Records)
Were you Manchester born and bred? No. Salford. Yvette and I were guest editors of Building magazine. Along with everything else we do we’re regeneration experts now, and as regeneration consultants with a bit of a reputation we were invited to guest edit Building Magazine. In it I made the point that neither of us … Read more
Kid Creole & The Coconuts
“You Shoulda Told Me You Were”, the second Columbia album from Kid Creole and the Coconuts (and the group’s ninth career album), may be their most exciting, artistic and cohesive release ever. Many of the previous collections of Darnell’s tropical dance delicacies were held together by the freshness of the material and the group’s unique … Read more
Konk
With the parallel surge of interest in the early 80s New York scenes, it’s a good time to discover Konk, an act that was born out of jazz, early hip-hop, and disco to create a fusion (certainly a dangerous word) of the better kind. Led by saxophonist Dana Vlcek, Konk channeled sounds ranging from the … Read more
Jamie Lidell
Jamie Lidell has built his career upon surprising people, whether via his on-stage antics, sudden stylistic shifts, or cryptic interviews. But the biggest twist to his third album, Jim, might just be its lack of left turns. Jim isn’t quite Lidell’s Sea Change, but it’s close, and not only because the singer and producer recently … Read more
