Per Cussion - Rockers In-A Africa

I'm sure most of you swedish readers have heard about Per Cussion, but like me never bothered to check him out? Anyway I picked up this LP from 1981 a couple of days ago and found a couple of bangers on it. This dub called Rockers In-A Africa stood out among the others. Early Swedish Reggae!

Wallifornia Soul Documentary!

This is a short but dope documentary about a belgian record collector (even though he doesn't like to call himself that) that seems like a kool guy! This is recommended for everybody, not just for the vinyl enthusiasts, because he is a interesting guy with a lot of dope stories.

Here's what LaidBack (the crew behind this movie) has to say about it:
After meeting record collector Jean Roger aka JR on a flea market, Eric invited him in the FM Brussel studio for a Laid Back session (October 2008) … Blown away by his stories and musical knowledge, we decided to meet him again to discuss about music, records, travels and life in general. More than a crate digger, JR is a man who follows his heart in order to achieve his dreams.

Diego Jah - Electric Music

Yeah I know it's been out for a while now, but I have to admit it, I never been a fan of Diego Jah so when this was released I didn't even bother to listen to it.

Original Sample of the Day: Mohammed Ali/Bob James

Mohammed Ali ft. Danjah - Lever För Det Här is one of my favourite Swedish hip-hop tunes from this year. The track is produced by a new up and coming beat maker called Mack Beats, I really like his style. The main sample he's used for this beat is the smooth slow jam Dream Journey by Bob James. It's from his album Two, released 1975 on CTI, and on the same LP you can find the often sampled Take Me To The Mardi Gras break.

Dream Journey (320)



Bonus: The drum break from the Lever För Det Här-beat is from Fat Larrys Band - Down On The Avenue.
