My Brother from another mother aka Ais-T from Music People fame will be in town tomorrow and is joining Pascis & myself at our weekly Sixpack joint. Should be nice,  be there!

Am 01. August heisst es Grill frei – und um euch die Wartezeit ein wenig zu verkürzen gibt es ab jetzt “alle paar Tage” nen neuen Mix von den beteiligten Produzenten, wir starten mit meinem Backwerk Soulbrother No1 – Tobrock aus der Kölner Südstadt…

*Edit: wir hauen jetzt einfach alle Mixe hier in den Post, wird sonst etwas viel…

Zum Downloaden einfach den Player inspizieren oder hier Soundcloud checken.

One of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite artists ever. This BBC documentary also comes highly recommended, giving a great insight on his background, story and what impact he and his music had in general…

“Gil Scott-Heron is the Godfather of rap. His confrontational, no-nonsense street poetry and intelligent song writing skills have inspired the modern Hip-Hop generation and he is arguably one of the most significant musicians and poets in Afro-American history. The programme features contributions from disciples such as Chuck D and Mos Def as well as music from his career stretching back over 20 albums to the early 70s.”

The man himself is supporting Joss Stone this week in Bonn (WTF?), it really should be the other way round even though dude sadly seems to be pretty wasted nowadays. I`m gonna skip that one and be just happy listening to his records.

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson – Willing (320k)

aNYway is huge and finally on Beatport, about time. Here`s a little video of Trizzy & Armand revealing the story behind their collaborative effort.

Recorded last night at Altes Pfandhaus Cologne, what a concert.  Highly Inspirational…

So war das gestern im Alten Pfandhaus, unglaublicher Abend. Die Stimmung in dem Video wird der ganzen Sache nicht annähernd gerecht, wie das immer so ist. Photos von Paul Pack folgen…

Wenn jemand den zweiten Song neben “Our Time Is Coming” parat hat… Bitte kommentieren. Danke.
