Tonight's 'Songs of Praise' was a reggae special to celebrate the amazing sunshine. Had a great time trawling through over 15 hours of my reggae to try and pick 2 hours of the best. Njoy.
It is wholly appropriate that an act seeped in musical history such as Hypnotic Brass Ensemble team up with a group of music lovers that dedicate themselves to delivering quality music, such as Choice Cuts, to release an EP entitled Heritage. This release pays homage to just some the music that has influenced all of their musical output over the years with classic sounds re-interpreted with respect and honor while overlaid with the undeniable sound of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
"All band members are the sons of legendary Sun Ra trumpeter Phil Cohran. The group began performing together as children (some as early as 3 years old). In 1999 they formed what is now known as the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and have performed or collaborated with some of the greatest musical stars of the last two decades. From Mos Def to Maxwell, Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah to UK superstar Damon Alburn, Erykah Badu to Fela Kuti's drummer Tony Allen. If you don't know these guys you're missing out.
During one of their many stays in Dublin with ChoiceCuts, Hypnotic decided to shack up in a studio located high in the Dublin mountains to rehearse for a week and write new material. Hypnotic and ChoiceCuts had a bit of down time in between these sessions and with plenty of Guinness and Jameson in tow chose to rework some of their favourite records from other artists that have influenced them both."
With a free tune, Spottie, given away by Choice Cuts last week as a teaser and the news that the release will be vinyl only, distributed by much respected Honest Jon's I was anxious to get my grubby little paws on the rest of the release and thankfully Mark came through today and I was not disappointed have got to say that Spottie (available below for DL) is my favorite followed closely by the rework of Fela Kuti's 'Water No Get Enemy'.
First off, the video presented to mark the release.
A bit about Choice Cuts: When I moved back to Ireland a while back I hadn't heard of Choice Cuts as they had been started after I had left. Upon returning as I started to explore the musical scene in Dublin the Choice Cuts name kept on popping up on my radar and was consistently associated with things that I wanted to see, do and hear. that's impressive when you've returned to a country not having a good feel for whats happening and wondering if the sounds of your city have evolved as you have and then you read an 'about us' page as such...
"Our parties have been blessed with special guests like J-Rocc, Kenny Dope, DJ Krush, Z-Trip, Madlib & Jazzy Jeff. Our concerts have witnessed perfromances by Mos Def, Q-Tip, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Edan, The Poets of Rhythm, Jneiro Jarel, The Breakestra, Build An Ark, Osaka Monaurail to name but few. Labelheads like Gerald Short (Jazzman), Mad Mats(GAMM, Raw Fusion), Rob Luis(Tru Thoughts), Peanut Butter Wolf(Stones Throw), Miles Cleret(SoundWay), Olski(MPM), B+(Mochilla) and Olan(All City) have blessed us with deep sets from their label catalogues and digging escapades.....We also delve a bit deeper into the past and tip our hat to where it all comes from so you may see live shows with artists like Sweet Charles, Marva Whitney, Blowfly, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Candi Staton, Steinski and Qbert."
What impresses me most is not just the musical passion with knowledge that has depth and breath but also their ability to create a successful business while doing so. in times like this and from where I am sitting (in my corporate office job) that's inspiring.
So, enjoy the freebie, support the release by getting the vinyl, check out Hypnotic Brass Ensemble live for a truly great experience and check out your local listings to see if the name Choice Cuts pops up.
A few weeks ago on my 'songs of praise' show over on Space Invader Radio I played the tune, Brisa, and was delighted to receive a comment from the band, Nicholas Kopernicus to say thanks. Was chuffed to say the least and to top it all off Jason (guesting below) told me he had the speakers out his street in Brooklyn playing my show with folks hanging out and chilling to the sounds. That's the beauty of the internet! Needless to say I was even more chuffed when he agreed to talk about his musical influences for our series. He came at it with gusto as they say and has delivered an extensive view of the sounds that he grew up with as he made his journey to where he is today. Special.Much thanks to Jason for taking the time out to share these thoughts and feelings. Enjoy. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************Hello Cubikmusik music family,My name is Jason "classicbeatz" Minnis and I'm
producer/pianist/songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks for checking
me out. A little discography?
My most recent project is an instrumental album with guitarist Seon Gomez. We call ourselves Nicholas Kopernicus and our debut album Audiocentric
is in all major digital stores . The music can be described as a mix of
afro-beat, soul, jazz and funk (and anything else dope). In 2008 I
released an underground hip hop album with MC/Producer Ash Holmz. We
call ourselves Smash Brothers and the album is called Fear factor.Why am I talking?
A couple of days ago Cubikmusik hit me up and was gracious enough to
ask me to do a guest post. After reading some of the dope features, I
quickly realized that I was out of my league. I'm not going to even
try and compete with some of he dope musicians/producers/Dj's that have
been featured. Instead, I'm going to try take you on my own personal
musical journey and show how my influences have evolved. I also want to
give “musical snapshots” of various periods of my life. Hopefully you
like what you read..if not.. well .. kick rocks? Where it all started(Florida boi)
Well first off ,I'm from the South(southern united states for cats
outside the US). I was born and raised in South St. Petersburg
,Florida(Tampa bay area). Like most southern American cities 'St. Pete'
has its ups and downs. It has a rich cultural heritage, especially in
the African American community. But it also suffers from segregation
and classicism. In some areas, poverty, drugs and gangs are rampant,
while other areas of the city reflect a picturesque view of the
American dream. As with most places in the USA, your version of St.pete
depends on your paycheck & skin color*best BBQ in the world, grandma's house These
early influences & contradictions help shape my personality and the
music that I listen to. From an young age I had two musical callings,
Classical Piano & hip hop. I know it sounds like an unlikely
pairing but for me it made perfect sense. It wasn't unusual for me to
listen to local mixes of the Jam Pony DJ's, or southern hip hop
luminaries like Ghetto Boys & UGK and then turn around and practice
Chopin, Debussy or Rachmaninoff on the piano for hours. There was never
any differentiation for me. As with the contradictions of my
environment, it all seemed normal. Southern Contradictions play list12 Player's Ball Mazurka in a minor Growing Up
As I got older, my musical pallet go wider. Also things were changing
around me,due to continued police brutality in the black community,
South St.pete had major riot. This event(as well as other factors)
influenced my family's decision to move 10 miles north.
While 10 miles may not seem far to most, it might as well have been the
moon to me. It was a huge culture shock. All of a sudden I was
introduced to grunge and alt rock from kids at my high school. Sonic
youth, Green Day and Sound Garden stayed in my play list right along
with 8ball& MJG, Jay-Z & Biggie. Jason's teenage grunge list pearl jam - jermy Green-day - basketcaseSoundgarden - black hole sunStone Temple Pilots-Vaseline Around
this time I discovered my dads old records and became "aware" of how
dope soul music is. I've heard the soundtrack of the 60's & 70's in
my household my entire life but I had never really paid it much
attention. Aretha, Curtis, Marvin & Stevie, as well as Black Urhu
,Bob Marley. seemed to be talking to me. They all seemed to understand
the turmoil and identity crises that I was going through This new
discovery along with the "Dead Presidents" movie soundtrack awakened
the inner 70's revolutionary inside of me. While my boys were rocking
to P-diddy and getting jiggy. I was listening to the originals
College
When I attended to Florida state University yet another world opened
up. I joined an historically black fraternity named Phi Beta Sigma. One
of the things that all historically black fraternities and sororities
do is stepping which is a form of rhythmic dancing that dates back 80
years. Stepping taught me the value of "feeling" the rhythm as well as
performance. Nothing compares to performing on stage in front of
thousands of peopleWe were nice!!! and we toured the entire south rocking shows (here is a video clip of a show from NYC) *strolling with my fraternity brothers, Step show outfit I
also began expanding my hip hop tastes as well. I discovered the genius
that is J-dilla when I was a sophomore in college. I was always aware
of his work(pharcyde, The Ummah) but Slum village vol 2, and Common's
like water for chocolate really opened up my ears. Freaky drums, Yes!
Jazzy Rhodes YES. To me Dilla took the richness of old soul and
modernized it while maintaining its original flava. At
Florida State your pretty much forced to interact with different types
people. I was fortunate to be around folks that put me on to Good
alternative music . A roommate put me on to Radiohead (kid-A), and Ive
been hooked ever since

Alone in West Baltimore
After I finished college at Florida state I moved to Baltimore for
graduate school. This is point in my life where I began to take music
seriously. I had always kept up with my piano playing and dabbled in
songwriting, but the isolation of graduate school and the grittiness of
Baltimore forced me inwards. After rocking ATliens until the wheels
feel off, I finally bit the bullet bought an MPC2000xl and began the
crazy journey that is production. I had absolutely no idea what I was
doing at the time(i still don't ) and looking back I think that was one
of the definitive experiences of my life. Figuring out stuff on my own
with no guidance forced me be creative and develop a unique process as
well as confidence. When you're in those situations you either become
frustrated and give up or find away to make it work. *west Baltimore beginner setup With
that being said there there was always one group of producers I always
admired and looked to for guidance. Organized noise!! These dudes have
produced so many hip hop gems. From Outkast -ATliens(which is my fav
hip hop album of all time) Goodie mob,TLC to other Dungeon Family acts
like Cool Breeze, Slim Cutter Calhoun and Witch Doctor. As far as hip
hop production is concerned , these guys are my biggest influence. Jasons favorite Organized noise/DF songs Dungeon Family - Follow the lightsOutkast-Mainstreamcool-breeze-watch for da hookGoodie Mob- Still standingOutkast, Erkyah Badu, cee-lo- In due time
The Africainzation of jason?
In 2005 I took the first of 2 trips to Africa(Kampala, Uganda).
Needless to say , this was a big deal. When I stepped off the plane in
Kampala Uganda, I was the first person in my family to set foot on the
African continent since my forefathers were brought over on slaves.
This had a huge impact on my psyche. The music, environment and culture
were amazing. Upon my arrival my senses were overwhelmed with the
rhythms and sounds of African music. While there are huge cultural
differences between Africans and African Americans, the rhythm in our
music has managed to stay consistent throughout the generations.
Because of this, the music that I heard while in Uganda was strangely
familiar and new at the same time. When I got home I immediately dove
head first into the vast ocean that is African music, old and new.*Nile river, Lake Victoria, Ugandan dancers Africanized playlist... Fela kuti – Expensive sh*t Siji -yearning for homeCheikh lo- souCedric IM brooks- EthopiaKarl Hector & the malcouns - sahara swing Wrap up
I can't front, Ive been blessed with a wide range of life experiences.
Due to time constraints I've had to leave a lot off stuff out. (Band
camp, piano lessons, Brooklyn,saxophone practice) But hopefully I
given some insight into the major experiences that have shaped the
music I make. Personally I think you can hear a lot of my “world”
influences on Audiocentric album and you can hear more of my southern
hip hop influences on the fear factor album . These experiences are
working their way into my new project as well. Who knows how that will
end up ;) Either way, Thanks for taking the time to check me out. Jason “classicbeatz” Minnis

Check out just one tune as influenced by the above sounds and feelings. Impressive stuff.
this goes out to paul over at northern by nature who showed great patience as he awaited this post.
i love it when you have a tune that you adore and then find the original that was sampled. special. then you start reading on both tunes to figure who's who and the stories behind them. a lot of the time there is no connection at all. but sometimes, special times, you find out great connections. love that.
tonight i was putting together a mix for the mint collective (out of my old hometown San Diego) and put in the tune 'watchdog' by Ann Winley. I hadn't heard it before last night and recognized that it was sampled by 'rhymin' & rappin' by Paulett & Tanya Winley (With Harlem Underground Band). It only clicked then that the last names were the same. off i go to wikipedia to find that Ann produced the tune and was their (step?) mother, married to Paul Winley who had started Winley Records as a doo-wop label in 1956 that evolved into one of the first hip-hop labels that was the first to release afrika bambata.
first got 'rhymin & rappin' on thisparty keller compilation a few years back. both are class tunes.
summer has arrived with this tune. been raining and overcast the last few days here and between being that and sick wanted to post some summer music tonight but was having trouble something that blew me away to post for you. then, through the glory of twitter stones throw threw this out and i'm jammin' away to this. goes out to a mate who has arrived home a little early which is a good thing. :)
between mayer hawthorne, dâm-funk, madvillan paper dolls (see below), and whatnot stones throw deliver yet again with this release! 'Spiritual Jazz: Esoteric, Modal + Deep Jazz From The Underground 1968-77' is a pure gem.
via flyglobalmusic (excellent post btw) When Gilles Peterson says, “there’s tracks on this album I haven’t
heard off. And I’m a collector” you know that Jazzman’s lastest
compilation has some truly rare stuff on it. Better than that, it reall
is the most essentiall release of the year so far; No Jive!
i also highly recommend Ohio Penitentiary 511 Jazz Ensemble's 'psych city'.
got this at dublin flea market yesterday. 5 Euro! dvd with documentary, cd all nicely wrapped. finding it hard to see links to where you can buy it but i'd recommend you'd check it out.
tune from the documentary above (the way of the crowd) on northern soul and wigan casino. great story. and music. and dancing. a scene. Download 19 Let's Get Ugly
pretty sure i'd posted this before but after digging (not very deeply) i reckon not. some great 'groove holmes' from beastie boys off the superb album, 'the in sound from way out'. pure grooves, jazzness and deep soul funk instrumentals all the way.
missed yesterday. was at my folks house with no computer. realized when on my way there that i had no music. need to start digitizing my dad's music collection now in case that happens again!
a few weeks ago gilles peterson started dropping some tunes from the q-tip album, The Renaissance, on his radio show (where you need to check out the latest show which is a vinyl only, hip-hop brownswood basement session). these tunes captured the imagination and you just knew that this was going to be such a great hip-hop album that harks back to the golden years while managing to effortlessly pull the sounds onwards and upwards in a way that only q-tip and a few others can do.
i got the album last week and am lovin' it. there have been a good few tunes posted from the album already and i'm surprised that this tune 'won't trade' hasn't been hyped up more. the track excellently samples ruby andrews powerful voice, kickin' beats and beautiful piano loops from 'you made a believer out of me' which is a classic (northern) soul tune.
while we're at it, might as well check out the video for 'move' off the same album. choice!
"Clutchy Hopkins is a multi-instrumentalist who recorded under
various pseudonyms throughout his entire musical career; his recorded
output consists of everything from field recordings of his travels to
avant compositions, to jazz to funk. These recordings were up to this
point unknown to the public. His father had been a recording engineer
for Motown bands and had taught him intricate recording techniques when
he was just a young boy. This knowledge Clutchy used to his advantage
during his travels, working in recording studios from Bombay to Cairo.
When Clutchy was just 20 years old he traveled to the Far East and was
under the tutelage of Rinzai Zen monks in Japan for many years
investigating silence and the rhythms of silence in music. Later, he
studied Raja Yoga in India to master and articulate the movements of
the body and its relation to sound.
When he returned to the US Clutchy used his recording techniques to
produce his own music and create instruments of his own. He has played
with many groups primarily in the jazz, funk, avant setting. During his
recording with other musicians Clutchy refused to contribute his name
to the recordings, preferring to use a pseudonym or no name at all. He
was purportedly good friends with Moondog and did some recordings with
him; these recordings are yet to be found. His recordings span from the
early 70s to the late 90s covering a whole spectrum of musical styles.
After these recordings came to the surface, we have tried to contact
the original source where these recordings were found unfortunately
that source has since died. It is said by locals who knew him that
Clutchy Hopkins returned to the Mojave Desert to finish his life out
living in an underground cave; no one has heard from him since."
"What we do know about him, and it's the most important thing, is that
this music is F-U-N-K-Y...The rawest, grittiest, skin-slapping this
side of The Meters..."
- Okayplayer
"There's a spare, spacious approach here that almost reminds us of the
energy that we first felt in DJ Shadow's groundbreaking work of a
decade before -- a similar love of gritty, organic source material --
and an ear for putting it together with lots of dark twists and turns
that balance nicely between classic funk and current hip hop production
sensibilities. The flavor of each tune changes nicely -- making the
album way more than just a clichéd collection of beats..."
- Dustygroove
"The disc is chock full of slick jazz/funk fusion hip-hop beats that
plays out like a soundtrack to the life of the Clutchster
himself...Walking Backwards is nice change of pace from the norm as far
as instrumental discs goes, with many using more samples and
synthesizers than actual live instrumentation, with Hopkins apparently
manning nearly all of the instrumentation. As a result, Clutchy proves
that he's hipper than your average bum off the street, and he can play
a mean flute...and drums, and organ, and harp..."

(Update 02/09: mp3 taken down and stream added at request of label).
"I don't know anything about that jigga jigga stuff-you play that and I'll play this..."
-Paul Humphrey, 2000
if there is anything that I love more than music it is the influence of old sounds on new. The documentary film, Keepintime, delivers on both counts. I am gonna use the info. directly from the makers to discuss this documentary. See a trailer below.
Keepintime started as a simple idea, let’s bring some of the most revered and notable L.A. session drummers together for a photo shoot. Then have them talk about the famous (to us) recordings that we (those whose ears
have been opened through hip-hop) treasure, sample and
discuss endlessly.The musicians (Roy Porter, Earl Palmer, Paul Humphrey
and James Gadson) were excited at the prospect of sitting
together and discussing old times, old friends and the
business. The first problem we encountered though was that to our ears the famous sessions were in fact often beyond the reach of our musician’s memory. Babu, J.Rocc and Cut Chemist (along with Numark, Madlib, Derf Reklaw and Shortkut) are fishermen of the elusive.
Cumulatively, they have a half-century of beat shopping experience. Similarly, they are the best turntablists
in the City of Angels. As a result they would be the best way to snatch up those almost lost glimpses of music and represent them to their creators, that was the moment when we knew we had a film.The puzzled smiles of Paul Humphrey and Earl Palmer
speak multitudes on the perceived gap that exists between the musicians of today and their forefathers. However, lest we forget these men were progressive risk takers in their respective professions and a few turntables weren’t going to get in the way of a good conversation.
All I can add is that it is a must see for music lovers and especially
any beat junkies out there like myself; the interaction between these
beat masters is just unbelievable and such a pleasure to see as much
as hear.
Brought to you by Mochilla and B+ (a fellow Irishman).
The project also brought us some fine remix tunes-here are my favourites. Artist: Charlie Dark Tune: Keepintime Theme Download 01_keepintime_theme.mp3
You can't to be able to buy the DVD anywhere but the CD is available.
Also see Brasilintime a similar project between some artists and turntabilists from the Keepintime show and Brasil. I love my DJ Nuts tshirt from this show.
This post goes out to someone way off there in NY,NY. Hope this post finds you well mate-keep it Rocksteady and it'll be all good. :-)
As many of Cuik's readers know I am BIG into compilations. Down with the album I say! Needless to say I am a sucker for anthologies and collections so I came across this today and reckon it's worth recommending here. For anyone who is already a fan or if you want and introduction to Funky Soul and Rare Grooves you should check this out. Rhino Records has released a box set, What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves (1967-1977). With Rocksteady from Aretha Franklin (see below), "I’m Just Like You,” a song recorded by Sly Stone under the pseudonym 6ix, and tunes by The Meters, who can be heard with Cyril Neville on the classic “Gossip”, an in other guises along with numerous others.
Coming in at $65 here it is pricy so you should look at iTunes.....$40 for around 80 tunes. Or just buy the tunes you like (as I do). This box set would do well to compliment New Orleans Funk (New Orleans: The Original Sound of Funk 1960-75), and Philadelphia Roots from Soul Jazz Records.
Two Three tunes here for you from Basement Soul Music: A Detonation By The Unabombers. I usually don't post more than two tunes from a compilation but I just reckon that as about 60-70% of my visitors will not have heard of the crew that delivers this one I want to get more than usual out from it. Um, Um! From the rockin' compilation brought to you by the superb crew at Electric Chair in Manchester. Here is the deal with the Manchester sound that I have eluded to before when mentioning Aim, Grand Central, etc. The term that can be used is Northern Sulphuric Soul, and really that is....."music with feeling, encompassing diva disco, future spaced freaky hip hop/ r'n'b, afro, Detroit techno, mashups, house with a feeling, decadent 2-step, bad breaks and dancehall shenanigns." So many of the crews from Manchester are consistently bringing a sound to us that just isn't really found elsewhere. Keep it up.
Artist: Leo Elstob
Tune: How High
Man, this tune to me brings back many great memories of listening to Digs and Woosh at the Sir Henry's Weekenders with that sweet style of house music that just gets you
swaying all groovy like. This tune has got to go out to Fio'. :-) Download 03_how_high.mp3
Artist: Frank De Jo Jo Featuring Terri Pace
Tune: Turn Off The Lights A too sexy tune with a low and slinky bassline that will have shivers running up and down your spine. Combine that with lines like "Daddy, when you talk that talk, I feel like a lady. Yes, oh baby, let me walk that walk. Turn off the lights." and you are hooked. This tune really defies definition....think future disco, with an old-school funk beat, slightly speeded up miami bass along with a tacky porn soundtrack and you might come close.
Artist: Donna Summer Tune: I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Mega Mix Edit) Yes, most of us have heard the Donna Summer classic 'I Feel Love'. If you haven't, shame on you! Well, how about this MegaMix from Patrick Cowley with his 11:20 version (I see that if you Google it there were 15:43 versions of it also.). And man does he take this track and blow it up with a pure, unadulterated sonic assault that is masterfully produced.
Artist: Darondo Tune: Didn't I Source: Gilles Peterson Digs America: Brownswood USA
From the excellent compilation in the new series 'Digs' on Ubiquity (http://www.ubiquityrecords.com/). This is top notch stuff-no less than what we would expect from mr.peterson.
Sweet, sweet lovin' music from Darondo. With a far too freaky organ loop that is almost religious swinging us along to a love tune that harks back to Al Green and Shuggie Otis. Oh man-turn the volume up, throw this on and grab your lover up close, close your eyes and groove away.Also check out Darono's album on Ubiquity. http://www.ubiquityrecords.com/lh048.html
Artist: Moses Dillard Tune: Tribute to Wes Source: Gilles Peterson Digs America: Brownswood USA My other favourite from this comilpation is definitely this track. All you beatheads need to check out this track and see where alot of hip hop gets it lead from. This is just too much funk to handle-I've just laid this out in my headphones 5 times and I'm grooving in my seat like a fool!
I have become a great fan of SoundNexx over the past few weeks. He posts great tunes along with some well written pieces on various things musical. One piece from a few weeks ago that hit a nerve with me was on the use of sampling. The basic point (Nexx-tell me if I am wrong here) was that many tracks use samples and a lof of the time listeners (a) don't know that the track uses samples and (b) don't know what the original track is being sampled. So, taking a leaf from the SoundNexx book I will be trying to post original tracks along with the tracks sampling them.
Artist: Brand Nubian Tune: Concerto in X Minor Track sampled: 'Walk Tall' by Cannonball Adderley.
I got XM a few weeks ago and I have to say I love it. It has exposed me to some great new tunes that I haven't heard before. This 'Concerto in X Minor' is one track that caught my attention as it samples the amazing Cannonball Adderley that I had started listening to a few years ago. This track has some hot rappin' and rhymin' laid down over a funky organ loop sampled from 'Walk Tall'. Brand Nubian (part of the sometimes referred to Native Tongues collective) consistently produce smart and positive tracks that inspire. Enjoy. Download 02_concerto_in_x_minor.mp3
Artist: Cannonball Adderley Tune: Walk Tall Source: Deep Groove! The Best Of Cannonball Adderley.
Oh man! If you haven't heard of Cannonball Adderley you have probably heard him play. He joined Miles Davis and John Coltrane on such recordings as Milestones and Kind of Blue. This tune is performed live by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet that included his extremely talented brother, Nat Adderley. With an inspirational introduction by the Rev. Jesse Jackson at a benefit gig this song is a tight tune that delivers the best in big band style jazz with a hint of the funk that Cannonball Adderley started to introduce into his repertoirs as time moved along.

Although this is a method of sharing files it is not my intention to disrupt the flow of commerce between consumers and musicians.
This blog is a way for me to share some of the great music that I come across (legally 99% of the time) so that others can get a sample in order to support the artists by purchasing music or going to a show.
If some of the music posted here is yours please email me at [email protected] with a request to remove and I will gladly do so.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy cubikmusik.
cheers
