Roska & Jamie George - Movin' #WorkWeekJam

Been really inspired by all these recent workweek concerts we’ve attended. From Danny Brown, Kraftwerk and Ebo Taylor to Myele Manzanza and Mark de Clive-Lowe. We decided to try out a new concept in the vein of tune of the day. Tunes that makes our heads nod and a smile on our faces on a crappy Tuesday. Why wait for the weekend when you can enjoy a #WorkWeekJam? :)

It's been a while since we heard that signature intro over a sub-bass track: "Roska! Roska! Roska!". But  this weekend we found this track and man have we missed him! This time teaming up with with vocalist and top line songwriter Jamie George signed to Rinse. Should be destined for an official release so get it while you can.

#WorkWeekJam: Flume ft Biggie Smalls – Space Cadet

Been really inspired by all these recent workweek concerts we’ve attended. From Danny Brown and Ebo Taylor to Myele Manzanza and Mark de Clive-Lowe. We decided to try out a new concept in the vein of tune of the day. Tunes that makes our heads nod and a smile on our faces on a crappy Tuesday.

Now, I’m not a big fan of mashups – especially messing with the classics. But just to prove myself wrong, these last couple of weeks I’ve stumbled over a whole bunch of mashups that I really dig. Last week it was the HoodInternet blend of BBD and Disclosure. This week it's a fine blend of Flume and old Biggie Smalls vocals that makes me reminisce of the days of old but still with my eyes fixed on the horizon.

Jaymee Franchina & Jeremy Smith are DJ's based in Perth, Australia and have put together this mini album combining the late B.I.G. with futuristic Flume instrumentals. Get it below.

While on the subject of Space Cadet don’t miss out on the very spaced out video of the original tune ft Ghostface Killah.

Now I'm not a big fan of mash-up but this one caught me off guard and I can't seem to get it out of my headphones. Chicago based party collective TheHoodInternet brilliantly blended BelBivDevoe's new jack swing classic "Poison" and Disclosure's "When a fire starts to burn". Two tracks that at first glance have nothing in common but somehow now exists in perfect harmony. Get it while it's still available.

Kickin' off the series with this awesome afro beat jam. Put out by EMI in Nigeria in 1970, this track from The Funkees was rediscovered through the excellent Soundway compilations. Check it out.
