Leaving Me With Thoughts That Weren’t Even Mine
Ghostface Killah “Run (Pistol Pete Remix)” – This is a Fluxblog exclusive! This excellent Ghostface remix comes courtesy of Pistol Pete, the man responsible for the remix of Missy Elliott’s “Pass The Dutch” which was posted here a few months ago. Pete is a freelance producer/remixer, and if you’re interested in contacting him for a potential collaboration, please email him at petervaleri @ hotmail.com
Dani Siciliano “Walk The Line” – I think this could pass for a Missy/Timbaland production, don’t you? If someone had told me that this was a new Tweet song or something like that, I probably would’ve fallen for it. This is actually the work of frequent Matthew Herbert collaborator Dani Siciliano, and is taken from her debut album, Likes. There’s some great robotic stop/start stuff going on here, and a chanted chorus which was stuck in my head when I woke up this morning, a la Waking Ear. As with a lot of what I’ve been posting lately, it just drives me nuts that this probably has no shot at the mainstream, in spite of fitting in quite well with the weirder stuff that does end up on MTV.
Also: Say hello to another new MP3 blog: Soul Sides – The Log just started up, and is already offering some strong hip hop and jazz selections.
