Around and around we go with this very simple, yet pretty effective, 2002 release dance track by French house stars Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) and his mate DJ Falcon. As I say it's a simple record which pretty much revolves around the looped "so much love to give," vocal sample, and thats about it. Uplifting house music. And at a nice and long 10mins & 43secs it may not be to everyone's disco tastes, but hey... feel the love!

Bigger than big club smash from TSID today. We are however taking things back over a decade to the hey-day of my RAVE years, with this tune in particular tearing things up across the year 1998! Admittedly the track itself isn't all that busy, but it doesn't need to be as it's the vocal that sets phasers to STUN. And with us boshing things out almost every Saturday along with the club full of regulars like we did, it didn't take long for this to go on to achieve unanimous ultimate anthem status. You cannot fuck with this record. Hellfire! MP3 : Groove Gangsters - Funky Beats (Extended Plastic Rip Off Mix) (Mediafire) / (Zshare) Myspace

Going with a dance anthem today, and one we should perhaps all know quite well! Back in time 13yrs ago this takes me. Back to the very beginning of my clubbing days, in what was actually a hotel in a fairly small little village town. Smoke machines, strobe lighting, club soundsystems and house music. All new, all awesome. This track was one of a number of defining moments back in the day, and one that always bring's back many a happy memory.

Got another case of just wanting to put up a track that struck a chord with me recently, though at the same time being caught out by not really having anything to add in terms of a story, or lame-o little anecdote, to accompany the music. All I can say that as a kid from the 80's (represent!), this song for some reason brings back a few memories, though none that I can actually recall well, or at all.

Definitely not the place for a real history lesson, so if you'd like to read the story about the Black Star Liner, like I did tonight when looking for a little more about tonights post, then click this Wikipedia LINK. One thing I did learn which I will share, is that Reggae Regular actually originate from Germany, and so aren't ideally linked to the Jamaican flag above.

Well here's my musical contribution to the goings on in America today. I have nothing of importance to add, as there's thousands of people writing smarter things out there anyway. Personally speaking however, as a completely unconnected Zimbabwean born South African living in England, I think all the "Change We Can Believe In," that I'd have liked, has already occured with the election of this new American President. All else is just a bonus in my eyes... 

Went out karting at the terrific Buckmore kart track with the work mates today. Our send off for each other as we all break up for the holidays. Bowling tomorrow too. Anyway I wanted to try and link a record to this evening's jollies. First to mind was the all too obvious Gary Numan mega hit "Cars," though I decided instead to twist the idea a bit and go with this scratched & rocked the fuck out "Cars," sampling Armand Van Helden banger instead.
