Scorpio And His People “The Unforgiven / Theme From The Movietown Sound”
YIKES… THERE’S SO MUCH HYPE AROUND THIS PARTICULAR 45 SINCE A VG- ORIGINAL COPY SOLD FOR $3,826.77. When you get onto that pricing level, you’ll always get doubters, but this sound is MEAN… BOTH SIDES. “The Unforgiven” gives me that priceless, lower belly grumbling. Love those vocals. “Theme From Movietown …
Forgotten Treasure: The Jones Girls “You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else” (1979)
Jon Dasilva & Maceo Plex’s Love Somebody Else is a supreme House remix of the 1979 R&B hit by The Jones Girls – You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else. I heard it on a Maceo Plex mix many months ago and all I had to listen to since was …
Future Classic: LTJ Xperience “Mr. Man”
LTJ aka Luca Trevisi of Bologna, Italia does it again! We just posted a forgotten treasure pick of his last week but I couldn’t help writing another post on his newest masterpiece, which I only heard this morning. Packed with a funky guitar riff and soulful male vocals (Marvin Gaye I think), …
Tall Black Guy “Shake it Baby” (“This That New Jackson 5 Bounce Edit”)
“What up my sounclouders? I hope all is well. It’s that time again for another Tall Black Guy Edit. I haven’t posted any new music in a while. I was listening to old beats and found this beat I made in the summer of 2009. I hope you guys enjoy …

Forgotten Treasure: Yvonne Gage “Doin’ It In A Haunted House” (1984)
This is a rare and humorous take on Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and is a Halloween boogie gem. Yvonne Gage’s Doin’ It In A Haunted House was released in 1984 on CBS Records/CIM, and is the absolute definition of a disco one hit wonder that has long been forgotten. I bought …
Forgotten Treasure: Shuggie Otis “Trying To Get Close To You”
Oh my! What a surprise to hear about an unreleased Shuggie Otis track, especially that it’s a recent production. I knew he was still touring but I had no idea he was still making music, which is pretty great news! I actually heard about this from the master Gilles Peterson …
Classic Mixes: Kruder & Dorfmeister “Amsterdam Dub Sessions” (2000)
Talk about a nice little discovery right here. A live (turntable!) mix from Austrian downtempo royalty Kruder & Dorfmeister. I haven’t heard a ton of their more recent stuff but I used to bang so much of their jams under their various aliases: K&D, Tosca, Peace Orchestra, Voom:Voom. A really …
Future Classic: Kings Go forth “The Outsiders Are Back”
Kings Go Forth is a soulful disco-funk 10-piece band from Milwaukee and they took on the whole retro-soul thing the right way. The group was founded by Andy Noble, the founder of the now sadly defunct record store Lotus Land, in 2007. As he explained in his Wax Poetics interview, …
Future Classic: LTJ X-Perience “Cry” (LTJ Rework)
A few weeks ago, I was on the hunt for a song I heard on a house mix, and all I had to go on was the artist name, LTJ (and not LTJ Bukem the British Drum n’ Bass artist I used to bump to in grade 9). This was …
