Hey mate, welcome to the site, awesome work as your first mix! Playin' Your Game is one of my fav Barry White tracks (out of many) mainly since it was featured on the Groove Armada Back To Mine mix. Immediate 50 just for that track, but I can see "T Plays It Cool" another classic, never gets tired. ...
Hey mate, welcome to the site, awesome work as your first mix! Playin' Your Game is one of my fav Barry White tracks (out of many) mainly since it was featured on the Groove Armada Back To Mine mix. Immediate 50 just for that track, but I can see "T Plays It Cool" another classic, never gets tired. Interesting tracklisting with Midnight Star, Salsour Orchestra, sounds eclectic.
Ah, and of course Edwin Starr. I love this one, but the "cover" version where Tone Loc sampled the groove for his "Loc'd after dard" track (that also covers the "Rock Creek Park" classic jazzfunk groove that I used in my Dimsa's 53 Birthday mix set here). Worth listening to that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNbFGnxDwTw
A very cool Kool & Gang track (sorry for the pun) - now this is almost pure jazz, I'm ashamed about my limited knowledge, don't know which album this is from.
Booty Ooty for me is a crossover between "Ladies Night" (the chords underneath) and "You Can Do It" by Al Hudson.
Did not know this "Electricity" track but it's exatly like "Operator", is it maybe a rare demo version of that song?
It gets a bit too afto for me at the end, although Track 13 is interesting, something in between a classic break track (like "Dance To The Drummers' Beat) and a blaxploitation movie sound...
Even the Marley track is quite leftfield - like I said, quite an eclectic set, I was gonna say that you should have put it under Jazz-Funk, but it's quite hard to pick a single genre for it, like you just picked the title, it's closer to funk...
