AbstractRadio session - august 2019

*** aka - the strange case of the unrelenting hi-hat ***

And lo, after many months' absence, the stranger returned from the mountains, laden with an abundance of great tunes.

And the golden ones rejoiced,
For all was good in the land [apart, of course, from all the usual stuff].

Here's the much anticipated, long-awaited and severely overdue companion piece to our last [mar 2019] session.
Consider it as a significantly bigger, badder elder sibling to the other.

AbstractRadio session - joey negro 2018

Dave Lee aka Joey Negro aka … well … he’s enough aliases you begin to wonder whether he’s on an Interpol list.

Regarded by many as a national treasure, clearly deserving of a knighthood, plus a fine wearer of hats, Dave’s definitely worth making a song and dance about, so we did just that.

With the highest of hi-hats, lush strings, soaring vocals and disco sweeps aplenty, here’s some proper all-time gems from the vaults - at least six never leave “the bag”.

Sound quality’s not perfect as there’s a fair amount of battered old vinyl in the mix but hopefully you’ll forgive us.

Love and glittery disco-balls,

x

AbstractRadio session - masters at work 2016

Kenny Dope Gonzalez and Little Louie Vega aka the Masters at Work are unarguably the finest production team yet to grace the world of house music. Their truly gargantuan talents and influence require no further introduction.

Dominating the scene for over two decades, and recording for every legendary US house label of the early ‘90s - Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Cutting, Nu Groove etc, MAW’s unprecedented output embodies the essence of soul in modern dance music, with tracks ranging from twisted house to pounding latin beats, often topped off with the sweetest of vocals (it certainly helps if one of your number was husband to the ultra-gifted chanteuse India). And the quality of their remix work remains unrivalled – all in all, a bar set very high, and yet to be paralleled.

As you may be able to discern, we’re big fans.

Here’s our tribute - a rather special selection of their finest, rarest and most influential tracks and remixes, starting from the early ‘90s.

Of course, for a body of work so large, there are many omissions here – countless Kenlou dubs, including Tito Puente’s Ran Can Can and Debbie Gibson’s One Step Ahead, Chris Cueva’s Hip Hop, MAW’s I Can’t Get No Sleep, Souffles & Everybody Needs Somebody to name a tiny selection. And then there’s their more recent solo work…

Maybe we’ll knock up another some time down the line?

With huge love and respect,
