I mean, Teddy Pendergrass tunes covered in a reggae style? WHACHUTHAWTYOONOO??.

Oh boy ... The Drastics resident recording studio Dirty North has moved on up to a bigger and badder home. We'll miss the old digs for sure, but our new space is nearly twice as big and has room for building out a much more professional recording space. So anyway, here is January's installment of The Blends free mixtape (in February, yes WE KNOW) ... appropriately entitled "Move/Home"! And if you detect a theme, you'd be right ... all of the songs either have to do with (or are named) on the theme of moving or home.

We got another "killer party tape"(tm) for ya on the d/l (that's download not downlow)! Bunch of soul on this one ... and generally less eclectic than last months, but once you get up into the 120+ bpm range, there's not alot of hiphop and reggae to choose from. So deal with it.

So here we go ... we're on the musical chopping block and you have 45 minutes to prepare the MEAL OF A LIFETIME and impress some opinionated and pushy British judge ... and what you come up with is a sweet sweet 45 minute set of straight reggae trombone. Yup. All trombone .. all the time .. You will probably NOT want to listen to ANY trombone for a good while after listening to this mixtape, so fair warning: Pregnant women (who do not want trombonist children), and; People imminently attending Trombone Choir Recitals should NOT listen to this mixtape.

Synthesizer Voice - Pompidoo
Me A Cooker - Tonto Irie
Inner City Blues - Delroy Wilson
Healthy Body, Part 1 - Admiral Bailey
Computer - Ugliman

Got a little more "out" on this one, and there are definitely some tongue-in-cheek selections to prove it ... Including but not limited to 2 different tracks promoting Synthesizers and Computers, a track by Charlie Chaplin which breaks into 80s pop-tune-medleys, Mutabaruka warning on the ills of junk food and a rub-a-dub version of Marvin Gayes "Innercity Blues" ... yowza! The mix "slowly" blends into more .. how should I say.. Jamaican-centric tunes that never gained much popularity off the island. These tracks are definitely "strange" to Americans and people with more of a blues/rock musical background .. bizarre casio-driven riddims with Jamaican cats talking in heavy patois over them.. using slang and describing situations only relevant to native JAers. But it's hard to argue that modern dancehall hasn't had a major influence on modern electronic/dance music (as well as vice-versa).. and these kinds of tracks are the roots.

Jah Is Love - Scientist & Roots Radics

I think this era of reggae gets a bad rap, but knowing how trends cycle every 20 years (30 for Jamaican trends) it will be popular in about 10 years. This is a real nice mix of both singers, crooners, djs, dubs, live bands, digital productions, etc ... Worth the download just to hear Lee Van Cliff shamelessly ripping off Eek-A-Mouse and Papa Kojie toasting about Nancy Regan sitting on Mr. T's lap!

The man is/was an avid record collector amassing a significant collection of LPs and 45s since the late 1950s ...

Your brain will probably notice a penchant for latin, soul and latin/soul in the mix .. Some real gems in this set; including tracks what been sampled for your hip-hops, latin versions of Eddie Harris tunes, and tracks covered by Yesterday's New Quintet ...
