Forgotten Treasure: Tia Carrere “I Wanna Come Home With You Tonight” (1993)
A big challenge for me would be to choose my ultimate favorite Masters At Work remix. Tough choice indeed. They were just on fire for the most part of the 1990’s decade! One thing that I know for sure is that their early remixes between 1991-1993 were just flowing so …

Forgotten Treasure: Die Dominas “Die Wespendomina” (1981)
Sometimes the best music comes from rare German 10”s that posses eye-catching artwork, bizarre facts and unique collaborations. Other times, not so much. In the case of Die Dominas, we get an incredibly surreal and experimental record from a one-time-team-up between Manuel Göttsching (uncredited), friend Rosi Müller and designer Claudia …
Forgotten Treasure: The Untouchables aka Kenny Dope “Just Da Way U Want” (1994)
This is truly a special one. A true forgotten treasure which is connected by many others because of the sample it’s based on! A few years before Dilla exquisitely used Minnie Riperton‘s soul masterpiece “Inside My Love” for “The Look Of Love”, I was mesmerized by “Lyrics To Go” by …
