The lead single from the hopefully soon to be released "Doe Or Die 2". Here's AZ revealing the impressive list of producers he's worked with for the album.
So I've decided to start posting some new releases. To be fair for everyone I might also make the preview links for the new titles to be available only for a limited time.
"Pollyester is the band consisting of Polly, Manu and Benny. Polly is piano player, upright and electric bass player, singer, composer, disc joker and entertaining performance artist. Bands: POLLYESTER, KAMERAKINO, CONVERTIBLE, MISHIMA, TIKI TIKI BAMBOOS, THE BODY PARTS. performance and party: ZOMBOCOMBO, KOSHKA VALERIANKA, JEANSGRUPPE Manu is the drummer and also part of the irresistable Bavarian style band LaBrassBandas. Benny is the special effect sampler mixer and he is also part of the performance and party gang ZOMBOCOMBO."
Some previously unreleased Paul Simpson remixes that saw the light of day a few years back (the original 12" version clocks in at around a measly 6 minutes). This particular pressing also contains a previously unreleased dub on the flip!
As a personal tribute to Ron G, Doo Wop, and Kid Capri I completed the first of an upcoming series of blend tapes (track listing and dl link at the bottom of this post). Those familiar with these names understand the attention they deserve.
The blend tapes that I spent a lot of time listening to in the early to mid 90s were predominately R&B acapellas over Hip Hop instrumentals. They were usually done LIVE on 3 turntables. This was YEARS (well over a decade) before the term "mash up" saw the light of day.
(this interview took place in 1992)
(this Kid Capri demo also took place in '92)
At the time New Jack Swing was the big thing, and these blend tapes changed the face of contemporary R&B forever (see Mary J Blige's "What's the 411" for further proof of this) as it helped cause the shift from Teddy Riley's signature New Jack Swing over to the Hip Hop infused (i.e. utilizing more sampled breaks) genre that we know today.
...and now the tracklisting for my blend tape (download link at the end)...
