Day n Night

Over the weekend I spent some time hanging with my old roommate Tsientong spinning vinyl again. I’m fired up again and cleared the junk off the turns finally. I’ve still been collecting music through the years and one of my favorite killer tracks is the Crooker’s remix of Kid Cudi’s Day N Night.

Apparently Kid’s released a video to his 2008 hit, directed by French artist So Me:

Here’s the Crooker’s mix

I should be able to focus a few days a week back to the decks…

Thievery Corporation Show at Terminal 5, NYC 2009

Only a group that brings such a DJ mentality to their music and live shows could garner so much enthusiasm from myself. I’ve been a fan of Thievery for many years, but when you hear their albums, “down tempo”, “reggae” or ” dub” are often genres that describe various melodies and styles of their music, however, on the stage, the sound and bass liven the arena and energize the crowd to a fenzey of head bobin to booty shaken no unusual to the funkiest club scenes.

This show fucking rocked as we got there slightly early to catch the dub reggae styling of the dj to the full blown mix of Thievery’s full cast of singers, drummers, guitar/sitarists playing reggae variations, roots style to spacey dub, Afrobeat, Brazilian bosa nova, to up tempo club deep house mix of rhythms and dance beats. The live show included a high-tech video installation and a parade of singers, male and female, from places including Argentina, Brazil, Guyana, Iran and Jamaica. The lyrics were in English, French, Jamaican patois, Spanish and Portuguese, along with a chorus of “Hare Krishna.” The party continued well past the long awaited encore where ushers needed to push the crowd out. This show rocked from minute 1 till the bar was well past last call.

I hadn’t been to the former Club Exit space, and the venue really didn’t fit the vibe of the show, however, the crowd and company made this a well worthwhile show that I’ll recommend to anyone else into any near genre of styles mentioned above.

When I hit the dance floor, you know Im doin the stanky leg

Get the fuck out of here! I know this move was dropped almost a year ago, but I still can’t believe my ears when I still hear this song and the dance. This shit is not in NYC and if it is, not in the clubs I’m going to. With unforgettable lyrics like these, there’s no doubt though it’ll be around for another summer!

Sauce on my ring (ay) then I rub it ‘cross your head.
You an h boom cool chick you can do it too.
Snap you fingers in the air and shake you micros too!
Now you can lean wit it,
now you can drop wit it.

and

Ro- roast up your weight and get slide next to me.(ay!)
Ay you better bang yourself cause I can tell that your hot.
I hope you wind it up, lean back and show your socks.
Dip. Dip. Then i want you to stop.
Do the booty do.

Stanky leg still won’t replace Crank dat – superman dat ho! Now drop that, woop da dee doop!!!
