Merry Christmas one & all. I wanted to put together an old style "pause button" mix, as I used to do before I go turntables. Obviously, the technology has changed - gotta love Ableton! - but the vibe is intended to be the same. Quick cuts, All Killer: No Filler!
I hope you enjoy it, feel free to spread the word.
Thanks for supporting Hit It & Quit It this year, see you in 2012! RAH!

HIT IT & QUIT IT- August 29, 2011 (Ashford & Simpson Tribute)

2011-09-01T12:20:00.006+12:00

Something a bit different for our upload this week. For more than half the show we gave a world exclusive premiere to the DJ mix of our brand new 'Hit It & Quit It Radio Revue Volume 1' compilation. We decided rather than post it up here, you can go and support us when it comes out digitally and on CD, and also Serato pressing. We'd be very grateful!

So, we've decided to post a brief tribute I put together to the late, great Nick Ashford of Ashford & Simpson who sadly passed away on August 22.

Ashford & Simpson are responsible for not just one or two or my all time favourite jams, but a multitude of them: 'Over & Over' (The Sylvester version of course!), 'Bourgie, Bourgie', 'Stay Free', 'It Seems to Hang On', 'California Soul', 'I'm Every Woman', 'Let's go get Stoned', 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'..... Their canon of work is incredible, both as artists, producers & of course, song writers.

I was talking to a friend about how the mark of a truly great song is when you can pinpoint certain moments in your life when you heard it. I've got lots of moments like that with the music of Ashford & Simpson: Hearing Phil Asher & Patrick Forge play 'Stay Free' at their long running Inspiration, Information night at the Notting Hill Arts Club, and seeing the whole crowd singalong. Hearing Manuel Bundy play 'Bourgie, Bourgie' as the last track at the end of my wedding after party. Hearing Norman Jay drop 'California Soul' at Notting Hill Carnival to unbelievable scenes. The list goes on & on...

The mix is put together in a no frills, no tricks style.... It's simply a brief collection of some of my favourite tunes either written, produced or performed by Ashford & Simpson. We hope you enjoy it.

RIP Nick Ashford.

HIT IT and QUIT IT- Aug. 22, 2011 [THE COVER VERSION SPECIAL pt. 1]

2011-08-26T10:46:00.004+12:00

Over the years as a producer, I have attempted to re-create (or just stumble through) some of my favorite songs, both live and in the studio. Through this process I have had to ask myself- what makes for a good cover version? Should a cover be a faithful rendition? A complete re-interpretation? A genre, vibe or tempo flip? And should some songs, for whatever reason, not be touched with a ten foot pole?

The first step seems to be picking the right song to cover. How many cover versions of average or downright horrible songs have you heard (not to be confused with 'How many horrible versions of songs have you heard?'... think karaoke)? Probably few to none- what is the point of re-living a lackluster, unmemorable musical moment? Thus it should be no surprise that a well-written, catchy, thoughtful, layered, message-laden classic makes for perfect cover version fodder. Hence the frequency of Beatles, Stevie, Sly Stone, Burt Bacharach, Doors etc. covers I found while rifling through my records for this week's 'Cover Version Special'. A great song will usually inspire a slew of cover versions, often times released within a mere few years or less of the original release (or so it went back when vinyl was still being produced and jazz musicians had to find new ways to pay their bills).

Be warned- this week's show is a haphazard live-to-air assembly of a diverse array classics as you've never (or seldomly) heard before. With Frank Booker on leave this week and 3 new interns in the house it was hectic and fun all at the same time... (Biggups Jana, Koko B Ware and Shake n Blake, our newest additions to the HIQI fandamily)

{Another note, this will be Part 1 of a series as there are still a good many versions that need to be played, not to mention most of the playlist is pre-1990...}

Dennis Coffey’s music has represented the heartbeat of Detroit since the ‘60s, running a thread through the city’s soul, funk and disco classics and, later, through hip hop thanks to a clutch of seminal Coffey breaks. The Detroit connection loomed large on Coffey's latest self-titled album with a handful of classic Motor City songs and guest appearances from local heroes Mayer Hawthorne, Mick Collins (The Dirtbombs) and more. Coffey and Strut now take the link a step further, enlisting a vibrant array of talent from the city’s rich electronic and hip hop community for a remix collection of tracks from the album. We assembled some of the most talented artists from the Detroit area, all influenced by Coffey's work, for a collection of reinterpretations and remixes of his new tracks. Just some more top quality Motor City funk for your listening enjoyment.

"Dennis Coffey is a legend, not merely for the timeless music he made in the past but also for the fact that he continues to be musically relevant to this day. Check out his new album for the pudding proof."

-Recloose

"It's an honor to be a part of a project associated with Dennis Coffey.”

-14KT

“Dennis is someone who not only was a part of some of the greatest songs ever recorded but also helped create the sound that influenced much of the hip hop music that we love so much. And he's still creating timeless music."

-Jamall Bufford of Athletic Mic League

Dennis Coffey will be touring internationally throughout 2011.

HIT IT & QUIT IT - June 6, 2011... JAZZY JAY SPECIAL

2011-06-10T16:38:00.002+12:00

This past Monday we had a very special guest drop by the studio, the one & only Jazzy Jay! Special thanks to our good friend Eric Orr (pictured above) who hooked the whole thing up. What an honour!

Jazzy had been in Auckland for a couple of shows and was happy just to hang out and chat, but we weren't gonna have that, after all, it's not every day we have one of the founding fathers of Hip Hop in the studio. So after a bit of gentle encouragement, we managed to talk Jazzy into dropping an impromptu guest mix on us! It's a wild ride through many styles, as you'd expect from an originator like Jazzy.

We hope you enjoy it! Also note: the mix starts half way through part 1, and runs most of the way through part 2.
(Our producer Reggie B wasn't able to track down all the labels on Jazzy's mix, but did a great job to even keep up with his breakneck speed! Almost 50 tracks in 50 minutes!)

HIT IT!

2011-06-02T13:09:00.004+12:00

Welcome. It's been a while since we've had a tailor made guest mix for the show, so it's a great honour to host a very special mix this week from the one & only Christopher Tubbs of Heads Down & Untracked Records.
Tubbs is a man of many talents, and has been carving out a niche for himself as the voice of proper leftfield/disco/house/call-it-what-you want (!) on the excellent Heads Down blog site, which has hosted great in depth interviews with the likes of Ashley Beedle, The Idjut Boys, Robert Owens and many more.
He also signed my very first solo Frank Booker record for Untracked, so one of us owes the other a drink, I'm not sure who though!
His mix is uninterrupted on part two of the show, no chat, just pure heat! Part one features a 20 minute tribute to the late, great Gil Scott Heron (RIP) and an interview with Recloose, live from Detroit at 2.30AM local time. Ooof!
Enjoy. Hit It!

HIT IT AND QUIT IT- April 25, 2011... THE DENNIS COFFEY SPECIAL

2011-04-28T07:47:00.003+12:00

This past Monday HIQI had the pleasure of broadcasting an exclusive and extended interview with Detroit's funk guitar legend Dennis Coffey. If you don't recognize Dennis Coffey by name (you should but...) you almost certainly will recognize his songs. On its own Dennis' music stands strong as Detroit's greatest guitar-driven funk masterpieces, melding the evolving production aesthetics of Motown and producers like Norman Whitfield with Dennis' own penchant for fuzz guitar played fast and thick (often overdubbed in multiple layers). Before recording his solo work Dennis was a member of Motown's surest house band 'The Funk Brothers', featuring on soul classics such as the Temptations' 'Ball of Confusion' and 'Cloud 9', Edwin Starr's 'War' and Freda Payne's 'Band of Gold'.

Little did Dennis realize that as he jammed, experimented and recorded his music that he was inadvertently laying down the bedrock for dozens of hip-hop and jungle classics to ensue over the following forty years. Some of Dennis' biggest hits were heavily driven by their infectious breakdowns, quickly becoming rhythmic fodder for the earliest hip-hop DJs and later producers of the 1980s and beyond.

We checked in with Dennis in Detroit just before the release of his brand new record, self-titled 'Dennis Coffey' on the mighty Strut records. The album hit shelves April 25 and features collaborations with Mayer Hawethorne, the Dirtbomb's Mick Collins, Fanny Franklin, Paolo Nutini and Kings Go Forth. Also be on the lookout for a Dennis Coffey remix project in the very near future featuring 14KT, Apollo Brown, Dabrye and yours truly (Recloose).

We also featured our good friend DJ House Shoes' Dennis Coffey tribute mix titled 'Constellations- The A to Z of Dennis Coffey' which you can stream through our show or alternatively off of Soundcloud here. (If you're persistent you may find a way to download it too, but the OG soundcloud link has been tapped at 1000...).

Finally, we pieced together the rest of the show with potna in crime Nyntee running production duties and an impromptu P-Funk gig review from excitable show regular Mark Williams. Enjoy that shit.

2011-04-26T14:30:00.002+12:00

Hello. Apologies for the slight delay in the posting of last week's show. In true Hit It & Quit It style, we have a double header this week, with the Dennis Coffey special due to be posted in the next 24 hours.
We had some technical gremlins in the system for the April 18th show, that have resulted in us only being able to offer a one hour edited version of the original broadcast. It was a "heavy hitters" edition featuring some big jams from the last few months, hosted by yours truly & Mr Reggie Blount (Recloose was absent, finishing off his new EP for RushHour).
Enjoy it! And stay tuned for the Dennis Coffey special coming very soon.
Hit It!

Ah yes, with the quickness once again, it's another essential installment of Hit It & Quit It radio with your hosts, Recloose & Frank Booker.
This week on the show we decided to debate the merits of the New Zealand music industry, a touchy subject at the best of times, and certainly one that drew wide and varied responses from our listeners. Some of them even told us it wasn't a talk show. Clearly they don't tune in much!
On to the music side of things: Fresh music from Fudge Fingas (check out his great debut album, 'Now About How', just released on Prime Numbers. Tip!), Norm Talley, KRL, Tom Trago, Alton Miller and yours truly, debuting a new tune in our semi-regular "Ruff Cutz" feature.

It was inevitable that at some stage the topic of sandwiches would arise for lengthy discussion on the show. After all, my partner in crime on the airwaves is he of the infamous "demo on rye" many years ago in Detroit. Needless to say, I was somewhat out of my depth, for as Recloose pointed out: NZ has many strong qualities, but quality sandwich making is not one of them! So we ran through a range of classics and not-so-classics from our listeners and managed to make this drag on for an hour or so. If you're about to tune in: Do yourself a favour and fix yourself a Rueben!

In terms of the music, it was very much focused on the Dance side of things this week: Some excellent new stuff from Christian Prommer, Francis Orchestra Inferno, Falty DL, J Rocc, Moodymann (Egyptian Lover on the mix!) and much, much more.

Bon Appetit!

In light of recent events in Canterbury this week's installment was a markedly more subdued affair. Recloose and Reggie Blount we're in-house playing some new stuff and an array of inspirational joints for the people of Christchurch and Canterbury in what we coined the 'Harbangers of Hope'. While the appeal may have a been a lil clumsy, all the music and sentiment came straight from the heart. We just hope a few Cantabrians* got a momentary dance in...
(*Note: Don't ask Americans to say 'Cantabrians'. You'll hear what we're talking about.)

Our sincere apologies for missing a crucial element of our impromptu Red Cross NZ Earthquake Relief pledge drive (we were told simply to instruct people to text '333' or '555'). If you choose to donate this way please include the word 'quake' in your text, it will result in a $3 or $5 donation to the NZ Red Cross.

Further donations can be made here---> www.redcross.org.nz

I guess the final thought here, also for people not in New Zealand, is to please maintain the level of support for the relief effort we've seen to this point. It will be a very long time until Canterbury can be rebuilt and return to a semblance of normalcy. In the meantime there have been many many people rendered homeless, jobless, having lost love ones with extreme trauma heaped onto their lives. Your thoughts, prayers, financial and spiritual support are a few ways you can help heal the damage inflicted on the hearts and souls of Canterbury.

Move on up Christchurch...

HIT IT AND QUIT IT- Feb. 21, 2011 (PLUS 'The World's Worst Sitcom')

2011-02-24T18:06:00.003+13:00

Well, this show seems exceptionally frivolous in the wake of the recent tragic events in Christchurch. We at Hit It and Quit It send all our love and thoughts to the people of Canterbury who suffered and continue to struggle through what is destined to be the worst natural disaster in New Zealand history. I will be playing a benefit show to raise money for the NZ Red Cross Earthquake Appeal 2011 this Sunday, more on this tomorrow or here.

If you are in the mood for a bit of a distraction though, we offer up to you one of the most ridiculous shows to date, completely by accident really. It all started out from a desire to have some 'fun'... Impeccably selected and mixed dancefloor bangers courtesy Frank Booker punctuated by an ongoing discussion/debate on the world's worst sitcom in history.

The Booker Prize??

Note: While 'Supergran' eventually took out the 'grand prix' for most obscure and horrible sitcom, I was later corrected by HIQI friend and frequent guest Mark Williams that this was, in fact, more of a children's show. We sincerely apologize to anybody (or any children) offended by our gross oversight and unforgivable cultural neglegence.

HIT IT & QUIT IT- 14TH FEBRUARY: DISCO VALENTINES SPECIAL

2011-02-16T15:42:00.013+13:00

The joy of doing a weekly radio show is that every so often, presuming you're on air for a few years, an auspicious date will appear on the day you're going to do your show.... A Valentine's day on a Monday? Oh, ok then! Disco. Valentines. Special!

I decided to start things in a "Love Boat" Disco fashion with the Paul Cacia band. What says Valentines Disco more than the Love Boat?! Ahem.

Anywaaaaay, we kicked on through the classics: Al Hudson 'Spread Love', Renee & Angela's undeniable jam 'I Love You More', Stevie Wonder, J Dilla, Cerrone....
Ah, just read the damn playlist. Below in all it's LOVE glory!

Big thanks to Reggie Blount holding down producer duties, and our special drop in guest, Jellphonic!

Enjoy. Hit It!

2011-02-09T11:17:00.004+13:00

Alright! Another week, another edition of Hit It & Quit It. This week, both Recloose and myself were back on board for the first co-hosted show in 3 weeks! This meant much debate about all sorts of topics (Recloose even mentioned sports: Usually a big no-no on Hit It & Quit It!!), arguments over the pronunciation of certain words (Diaspora anyone?), and the usual selection of dope music, old & new.

This week we got treated to goodness from the likes of (deep breath....): Bakey Ustl (how dope is this record?! Phew!), Nebraska, The Dirtbombs, Inkswel, Martyn & Mike Slott, Hizatron (Mr Scruff on the remix), Matthew Dear.... Ahhh, and much more. Enjoy!

RBMA: Tokyo 2011

2011-02-04T14:48:00.003+13:00

Here at Hit It & Quit It we are large supporters of the Red Bull Music Academy. Many moons ago (Sao Paolo, Brazil, 2002!) I attended the academy, and in 2006 Recloose was a lecturer in the Melbourne edition. We even threw our end of year event with Moodymann and DJ Day in conjunction with the RBMA, so it's safe to say we're good pals!

If you're an aspiring (or even reasonably established!) Producer, DJ, Singer, Instrumentalist (or all of the above), you should absolutely be applying for this.

Check the website for more info, and good luck!

HIT IT & QUIT IT- Jan. 17, 2011: 'The B-Boy Special' with Eric Orr

2011-01-20T09:42:00.003+13:00

Its no secret, New Yorker's have the gift of gab. This week's show further reinforces this fact.

In the studio for 'The B-Boy Special' was South Bronx artist and hop-hop luminary Eric Orr hyping his one-man show launching tonight at Rebel Yell Gallery on K. Road in Auckland PLUS rattling off some amazing stories about growing up in the South Bronx during the infancy and early school years of the hip-hop movement. Your hosts were rendered semi-dumbfounded as Eric casually recounted tales of coming up with Jazzy Jay, bombing with Keith Haring and helping Bambaataa construct his studio. W.T.F. Count me in at Rebel Yell this evening and Black Milk's 4-piece performance at FuZen later tonight.

HIT IT AND QUIT IT- Dec. 20, 2010: Year End Favorites plus Tribute to 2010's Fallen Heroes...

2010-12-23T11:20:00.001+13:00

Well, this is the last show of the year, and what a year its been. The show, the listenership, the Revue and the plans for 2011 have all grown significantly. There has been a collection of great moments (on-air and in the club) as well as contributions from all sorts of people who have been welcomed open arms into the extended Hit It and Quit It family. And to top it off we wrapped up the year with the biggest HIQI Revue to date, rocking the rafters with the likes of Moodymann, DJ Day, The Turnaround crew, The Dose DJs, DJ Mu and of course yours truliest, Recloose and Frank Booker. To be honest, we're all still reeling (and recovering) from this one- it was a veritable musical and artistic coup d'etat for this country (if we do say so ourselves...).

KDJ... photo credit: DJ Day

Before we get into the show, I'd like to take this opportunity to send out some heartfelt shout outs to people and institutions that have had an indelible influence on the growth of our artistic vision. In no particular order- Grace and Red Bull Music Academy for their incredible support for our just gone 'End of Year Throwdown', Serato Audio Research (and the whole damn team!) for revolutionizing our shit, Ben 'Lawsonater' Lawson for getting the shows up every week like clockwork, Sam 'Harmanizer' Harman for the good vibes and energy every week, Lakshmann Anandanayagam for making the Revue look so good, KDJ, DJ Day, DJ Kon, Dam Funk, The Oliverwho Factory, DJ Kano, Mike Cina, Eugen Danzinger, Wolf Music, Jellphonic, Young Marco, Nickodemus, Reggie Blount, Julien Dyne, Nathan Haines, Trus'me, Andy 'Submariner' Morton, Manuel Bundy, Cian O'Donnell, DJ Truent, Chef D, Dave Carroll, Rowan Herbert, Bill Gray, Tony Cooper at All City Promotions, Christiaan de Witt, Rush Hour for the consistently best promos we could ever hope for, George FM, Ponsonby Social Club, Cesar Ramirez, Ghostly International, Conch Records, The Jewel School, Bharat Jamnadas, Ron Olson, Seth Wilson, Mere Naigulevu, Eric Orr, Chico Mann, James Pants, Charlie Dark, Tyler Askew, Tiger Brewery, Galatos, Khuja Lounge, The Basement, Cassette 9, Barrio, Coopers Brewery, Adrian Duff, Jason Fishwick, Metro Magazine, The City of Detroit, Scott Zacharias, Brad Hales and People's Records, Josh Dunn, Wax Poetics Magazine, Andrew Morgan at PPU, Border Music... Extra big thank you to the handful of people I surely just forgot to thank (I'm sure I'll remember over the holidays, kicking myself). And finally, a mighty and hearty thanks to YOU, the listener... who have made us one of the most popular shows on George FM and continually encourage us to keep on with this crazy thing called Hit It and Quit It.

Whooooooeeee..... *Catching breath.* So I won't front, coming up with a radio special after the 'Revue' weekend just gone was a fairly epic challenge (all I wanted to do was sleep). But being the last show of the year and us riffing off of the 'Circle of Life' idea enticed us to get it together. So Mr. Frank Booker led the way with some of his favorite joints of the year (we are by no means claiming this to be a comprehensive 'Best Of' list, just the things that emerged out of our collective memories from the past year) and then I followed with a somewhat hap-hazard but nonetheless heartfelt tribute to 2010's fallen musical heroes. As this is our last show until 2010 we hope this will keep the HIQI fires burning in your hearts over this festive season. Happiest of holidays to you and yours from the Hit It and Quit It crew.

Auckland Showing a Little Bit of Love

2010-12-07T12:12:00.000+13:00

There has been a convergence of (minor) nods emanating from Auckland the last few weeks...

First up is an odd clip ripped from the legendary New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street where two characters kick back with a glass of wine, polish their paltry dance moves and enjoy the sounds of Recloose...

Next up is a very nice review for the recent Recloose 'Early Works' release coming from the newly re-rubbed Groove Guide:

Also, a smallish 'honourable mention' in shooshy magazine Metro's Best of Auckland edition ('best friend in radio'... not sure what that means exactly but thanks!):

Also, there was a fairly epic interview I did recently with Nick Atkinson of Radio New Zealand talking about the Early Works release and the days of Detroit habitation...

Recloose interview with Nick Atkinson on Radio New Zealand (click it!)

And last but not least, here's a link to Jacob Sua's seminal Nerdy Frames blog, also with a meaty interview...

Nerdy Frames' Recloose Interview

Auckland, I appreciate you. See you on a dancefloor soon (I hope).

Barrio Brothers

2010-12-01T23:42:00.002+13:00

This Saturday 4th December, myself and Recloose hit the Barrio once again (our second visit!) to play some tunes... We played a couple of months back in the midst of a crazy storm, and still managed to have a dope time (weather was truly crazy, 40 year storm styles!)... Anyways, for those of you in Auckland City, pop down 8pm onwards this Saturday, free entry, and the usual goodness: Soul, Hip Hop, Disco, House, Funk, maybe even Post Dub-Step (Recloose's new fave genre!) and whatever else takes our fancy!

Its the all food special, all songs you can eat!

Many thanks to our friend, foodie and music afficiando Bharat Jamnadas for coming up and cooking an immense bounty of BBQ for us. Also special thanks due to young-blood producer Sam Harman for the extra (chicken) legwork that went into putting this together behind the scenes.

Speaking of behind the scenes, you might not pick this up from our on-air cool collectedness but we had a major medical emergency half way through the show (HIQI regular Lil Nug almost lost his complete toe nail in a freak accident...) so thanks due as well to our BBQ peeps for the extra medical help (Chef D, Killamanraro and C De Witt!) plus Mr. Booker for stepping up for the second half of the show. And propers for not losing y'alls appetite after that one!

RIP OF THE WEEK: Natural Four - Try Love Again

2010-11-26T16:17:00.004+13:00

As promised another rip of the week with the quickness. Again the ROTW has been a feature which has matriculated as of recently, but no longer! From here on out it's shows on Tuesday and Rip on Friday so mark your calenders accordingly.

This one right here is a beautiful northern soul number on Curtis Mayfield's own Curtom label, but without anything to do with Curtis himself. The song is written by a member of The Impressions, however, in Leroy Hutson.

It's about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off. Beautiful arrangement, harmonies and lyrics are the order here, rounded off nicely with a delicate Rhodes refrain. Sure to kick your weekend off on the right foot. Ripped off the B of my very own 7" and delivered here in full 320 style.

Keep steppin'!
Natural Four - Try Love Again (320kpbs)

HIT IT & QUIT IT - November 22nd, 2010

2010-11-23T20:37:00.009+13:00

It's starting to get nice in Auckland on Monday evenings, as a result we were feeling a bit more inclined towards starting the show on a warm weather front (excuse the pun). Maybe it's a trend that will continue as New Zealand slides its way toward a long hot summer. My song pick from the show is the rough Kon edit that Recloose perhaps shouldn't have played. Tip!

This week we also featured a hot mix from a big fan of the show from Zurich, Switzerland. Largesse to the man Eugen Danzinger aka Spit. This was a freaky mix but we were feeling it a lot, plenty of homemade blips and bloops throughout.

HIT IT & QUIT IT- November 15th, 2010

2010-11-16T15:54:00.006+13:00

Well, it seems as though posting Hit It & Quit It shows is like waiting for a bus: You wait, wait and wait some more, then a convoy of them roll up all at once. So, with the quickness we give you, hot off the press.... The latest installment of HIT IT & QUIT IT!

"But how can you guys post it so quickly?"

I hear you asking in the land of the interweb: We simply wheel in our own recording unit (VERY similar to the one pictured above), and hence cut out the middle man (who shall remain nameless!), and VOILA! Instant radio heat direct to your computing machine.

Anyway, enough of all this hi-tech talk. What did we do on the show this week? Well, it was a wide and varied show as always, featuring new music from the likes of Marco Bernardi, a hot remix of Scuba by Falty DL (he seems to be featuring every week at the moment! Props!), Opolopo, and some re-spins for current favorites like Space Dimension Controller (seriously loving this!), Franc Spengler, and of course, future Hit It & Quit It guest of honour, Kenny Dixon Jnr aka Moodymann!

On with the show, we hope you enjoy it. HIT IT!

RIP OF THE WEEK : One Way (ft Al Hudson) - Tonight

2010-10-18T21:25:00.009+13:00

Sorry for the lack of activity on the blog as of late, in order to make up for it here is a very special tune ripped cleanly (as possible) off my very own 7".

This tune is a rarity of sorts, the B-side to the way-more-famous "Music" single by One Way, a fine example of the talents of wunderkind producer: Kevin McCord. Never released on LP this great song was only available on 12" and the 7".

Kevin McCord is one of the reasons why I started collecting records. After I heard his jam "Never Say" on a Dam Funk mix I needed more. I turned this record up on my 3rd ever visit to a record store, $2.

It's not a wall to wall dance floor destroyer, just a lovely groove with some trademark piano, and frequent collaborator Alicia Myers on the vocal. An early example (1979) of the brilliance of Mr Kevin McCord. Hopefully you all enjoy this song as much as I do.

Hit It & Quit It: Double Edition!

2010-10-13T13:30:00.004+13:00

Our apologies for the delay in posting last week's show. We have this thing called Daylight Savings where everybody's clocks change. Evidently the super computer at George couldn't handle the pressure and recorded some other show, or something like that. Anywaaaaaaay.....

We have two weeks worth of GRIPPING radio shows for you in one hit today: Monday 4th October & Monday 11th October. And oh my, what fine shows they were too.
Monday the 4th was very much on a HOUSE music tip, with a special tip of the hat to Mr. Aaron Carl (RIP), a special preview of an exclusive podcast Recloose has done for our good friends at Ghostly International and lots of great music from the likes of Vakula (Firecracker), The Beat Addicts, KDJ and much, much more.

This week's show was back to the usual chaotic, all over the shop (in a good way!) Hit It & Quit It. We had a packed studio full of guests, and managed to talk a bit of junk about our forthcoming Halloween edition of Hit It & Quit It (Saturday 30th October at Cassette 9, Auckland City. Hollar!). We got some great ideas for costumes.... Myself and Recloose are thinking about going as The Proclaimers. Or not.

Anyway, on with the show. Enjoy. Spread the love! HIT IT & QUIT IT! RAH!

RIP of the week: Tye Tribbett 'Mighty Long Way'

2010-10-04T10:59:00.003+13:00

OK. Something really very special for you all this week. This came out as a re-edited version (the original was a CD only thing, and rather hard to come by) on a white label 12" bootleg with Roots Manuva vs Sa-Ra on the flip.

This was a HUGE record when it came out. It was heard all over the place in London (where I was living at the time), a big tune at Co-op and also played to death by Gilles Peterson & Benji B and any other DJ interested in Soul music. And why not: It's a joyous gospel tune with a Dilla-esque bounce to the beat (I believe Mr James Poyser is at least in part responsible for the production).

As it was only a limited bootleg release, it's virtually impossible to come by now. This version is ripped from the vinyl: Enjoy!

2010-09-30T10:05:00.004+13:00

Another week, another unmissable episode of Hit It & Quit It Radio (If I do say so myself).
We got to grips with all sorts in this week's show: the unreleased Starblazer's 'Sunshine' to praise the arrival of spring (yes, the weather has been SHIT in Auckland until this week. Give thanks to the Sun Goddess!), new House heat from the Nebraska & Erdbeerschnitzel, Boogie madness from Supersoulsonic (Re-edited by Mr Compost himself, Michael Reinboth alongside Christian Prommer).... Ahhh, and yes... I dropped a Recloose classic - Soul Clap 2000 - as he's too modest to plug his own stuff, but the sampler 12" to the Early Works compilation is out now, so get thee to the record emporium & cop that!

Large shouts to Mark de Clive Lowe & Nia Andrews, who did a great show at Ponsonby Social Club last week, and of course DJ Mitsu The Beats & Taro Wassupski (Jazzy Sport) @ The Turnaround for rolling through Auckland with some heat!
On with the show....

RIP OF THE WEEK: Amalgamated Funk Co. - "Take No More b/w I Wanna Take You Out"

2010-09-21T20:39:00.004+12:00

Okay, I've been saving this one for quite awhile. Seeing as I've been slack on HIQI's newest segment "Rip of the Week" I figure its time to let loose with one of my favorite finds of the last 15 years.

First a bit of background. Up the way from our Detroit neighborhood, Woodbrige, was Grand River Avenue, a 220 mile stretch of a road that runs from downtown all the way to Michigan's capital, Lansing (and told to originally have been an Indian walking trail). From our house heading into the city you'd find Detroit icons Cass Tech High School, UR's Submerge HQ and a Wonder Bread factory now transformed into a neon monolith known as the Motor City Casino.

Heading out of the city, though, was a different story- not a lot to see but a long stretch of neighborhoods in ruin and a slideshow of broken histories. The few exeptions nearby were Steve's Soul Food (always packed on a Sunday) and a seedy looking spot called 'White's Records'. This shop was one of a few remaining White's Records in Detroit, a once proud local record chain memorialized by worn price tags on the city's second hand record troves. Here's a shot of another store in the city:

This particular shop was mostly slinging mixtapes and CDs (and...?). Most notable was it was all done from behind bulletproof glass, the only time I'd ever seen this in a music store. Out front, though, were two giant moving boxes of 7"s sent over from the main store in complete disarray, mostly missing sleeves, all going for 50 cents a pop. I fished out a few really interesting things but the one that has me most excited to this day is Amalgamated Funk Co.'s 7" Take No More b/w I Wanna Take You Out.

I couldn't find much on the story behind this record or the players other than an interview with one Harry Bowens. Harry, like so much of the Motor City's musical legacy, moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1980s but appears on this record singing lead vocals and playing keys before that move. Here are some excerpts from a 1999 interview with 'Sir Harry', who evidently is also known for his dance moves (I found this on salsastories.com).

"I was born and raised in Detroit Michigan. That’s where I got my musical education, and that’s where I learned that the word Entertainment meant you not only had to sing good, but you had to entertain the people as well. The Detroit audience was hard on anyone who was not polished. So you had to work on your craft. Yes, I had to work very hard at developing my technique so I would look professional.

I had an Acapella group called The Sincere Sincerities. We fashioned ourselves after the Temptations. (Get it) Tempting Temptations! I also worked with a band called Amalgamated Funk Company; I played the piano and sang lead vocals. My next band was called The Ebony Set. This band played more jazz music. Then there is Midnight Sky. This band played all the popular music that was currently out at the time.

I also did some work with some vocal groups in the city. I did vocal arrangements for Citation a male vocal group, and the Ridgeway Sisters, these ladies sung in the movie Blues Brothers 2000, with Aretha Franklin and James Brown."

AND he played and toured with Was (Not Was) in the 1980 & 90s... Is this guy the man or WHAT?

Without any further ado, for a limited time only, here are both sides of some sublime modern soul courtesy the Amalgamated Funk Co.

Yes indeedy. Time for another special one off 'Hit It & Quit It' event. This time myself and Recloose are taking the radio show up to Barrio on 44 Ponsonby Road. It's our maiden voyage there, and promises to be a dope night. It's a great intimate venue, and we're gonna try and recreate the vibe of the show (trash talking, lazer noises, air horns, sirens) along with some classic Friday night dancing music.
What more do you need? Friday night, if you're in Auckland City come down and check it. And buy me a god damn Coopers while you're at it!

Give The Drummer Some!

2010-09-11T15:33:00.010+12:00

Clyde Stubblefield is THE Funky Drummer. You may not know that you know his work, but you sure DO know his work. Responsible for some of the foundation breaks, Clyde is still alive and (snare) kickin'. Last year Clyde suffered kidney failure and had to embark on weekly dialysis. You can and should read about the man's situation and import by following the link.

With the way legendary musical figures obituaries permeate so quickly in the age of social media, and they are subsequently eulogized by those who know how they'll be missed. So too is it possible to help out these extra special humans while they twist on this mortal coil with you. Clyde Stubblefield is just such an extra special human and we ain't lost him yet.

GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME!

It takes exactly 2 minutes, and if you've ever listened to hip hop, or danced to recorded music then you are in the man's debt.

HIT IT AND QUIT IT- September 6th, 2010

2010-09-09T15:45:00.006+12:00

Back once again with the full compliment after Recloose's break last week, we had a rather hectic and lively show full of bizarre text messages from listeners and the occasional technical hitch (hopefully edited out by our engineer extraordinaire the Lawsonator!).

As you will gather we put it out the the radio audience: What should we do for our next special? There were some great and odd messages (the request for a murdered rappers special being a particularly dark highlight), but we settled on the "Animals Special".

Lots of great music on the show: of particular note were storming new cuts from BE on Movement Music, and something fresh from our very own man with the plan, Recloose, with "Crosstown" from the forthcoming Rushhour comp. Tip!

Enjoy the show, tune in for the Animals Special next week...

I've been enjoying the Walter Gibbons 'Jungle Music' compilation since receiving a promo cd a few weeks ago.
'Jungle Music' compiles a wide range of his work from mid-late 70's stuff right through to more electronic flavours of the mid 80's. I had always had Walter Gibbons as a master of Soul & Disco, but until now wasn't aware that he made some serious electro in the 80's too. Strafe 'Set It Off'. Big tune!

The second thing is a compilation I haven't yet heard, but am very excited about: Danny Krivit's 'Edits by Mr K Volume 2'.... To me, Mr K is THE master of the subtle edit, his re-edits have ignited many a dancefloor for me down the years... So needless to say, this will be a "buy on sight" album if you have any interest in soulful music. Got that? Good. Hit It!

RIP OF THE WEEK: Big Foot - Watch Your Step (In This Society)

2010-09-03T23:23:00.000+12:00

Big Foot is the alias of Juggy Murray Jones of Inside America fame.
This slow disco burner from 197?/198? is 10 minutes of niceness, complete with "inspector gadget" keys and lyrics that abound with social awareness.
Released on Juggy's own Sue label subsidiary named after his mother, read more about Sue records and the life and times of Juggy here

I found this 12" while at the record store with Booker and he was a little green about it, seeings as it was only 6 bucks. So I thought I'd make it the rip this week so that he can scoop it along with all of yous.

Enjoy it, and Watch Your Step.

2010-09-01T22:11:00.005+12:00

Hello.
With the quickness: Two shows live on the blog in two days. Phew! I can barely keep pace.
Well, this week I took the reins for a solo show at Hit It & Quit It Towers (tip of the hat to the ever present Harmonizer of course!). Recloose was feeling slightly under the weather, so I took the opportunity to drop a few jams and also play a special guest mix from our man Stu Clark of Wolf Music Recordings in London Town.
What a great mix! No tracklisting at this stage, but will try and get him to send one along.... Be sure to check out the forthcoming stuff on Wolf Music, and of course the Hit It & Quit It favourite, "All The Thrills" by BE. Yes!

Got to drop a few new beats and pieces: Arto Mwambe track "Duster FC" had heads bobbin, as did Erdbeerschnitzel's new joint, "Patterns". Oh, and I seriously slept on the Padded Cell remix of LCD Soundsystem. For me, the best version I've heard to date of 45-33 (yes, yes.... I've heard the Theo Parrish too!)

Alright enjoy. Catch you next week!

RIP of the week: Erot 'Song For Annie'

2010-08-26T15:59:00.004+12:00

Up at the radio show on Monday we were talking about how we've done some good drops on Soul & Disco stuff for the weekly rips, but this week I decided it was time to dust off a true deep house classic.

Released on the Idjut Boys always excellent (and highly collectible) Discfunction label in 1999, this was a big tune when it came out. I remember thrashing the shit out of the first copy I had (& subsequently lost!), and then grabbed it again on 'Saturday Nite Live' a Nuphonic compilation by the Idjut Boys.

Then about 3 weeks ago I came across on copy for $5 in Real Groovy Auckland. It made me go back and start enjoying this tune all over again. It still sounds so fresh 11 years on.

Anyway, the sad part of this story is the man behind this tune, Tore Andreas "Erot" Kroknes, passed away in 2001 at the age of just 23. He packed some amazing music into his brief life, producing the dancefloor classic "Greatest Hit" for his girlfriend Annie - to whom this song is dedicated.
He also worked as a designer for the Telle label, and did some banging remixes too.
Erot paved the way for the whole Scandinavian Disco sound that has been pushed along by the likes of Lindstrom, Todd Terje and Prins Thomas. Respect due!

Enjoy the tune, bump it nice and loud. Ripped from the original vinyl copy, a nice loud 320 mp3 for you all!

A Tribe Called Quest- Melbourne Pictures...

2010-08-24T15:54:00.003+12:00

So I made a pilgrimage to Melbourne, Australia on Aug. 12 to see one of the greatest and most globally loved hip-hop groups of all time-A Tribe Called Quest. It was a slightly surreal experience seeing one of my favorite groups re-united 10+ years after their hayday, in a country on the other side of the world from where I'd last seen them (Detroit).

Of course we all wondered if it was just a cash grab, if they'd bring the energy and if they still had 'it'. And while Kool Keith and De La's DJ Maseo might have been a little lackluster, ATCQ quickly banished any fears of mediocrity (often the norm at over-priced, over-hyped hip-hop shows...). The Tribe was on fire- every jam was rendered in full auditorium-rocking glory- amply covering all the classics and even bringing elusive 4th member Jarobi on the gig (somehow though he didn't make it into this collection of photos?!). Q-Tip was definitely running shit, Phife looked like he was catching his breath most of the show but held his own, and Ali Shaheed Muhammed had his set down tight, even astonishing those who were paying attention with a one-hand grab of his laptop right before it toppled to the stage from his DJ riser. SAVE!!! Add to this dance moves, beat-box solo intros, two encores, rewinds and 'Phife-junior' (a random audience member) running the Dynomutt's full lyrics on one of the jams.

Here are some shots my lovely lady Alice shot from our vantage point front and center. Enjoy...

RIP OF THE WEEK: Con Funk Shun- Get Down With It

2010-08-17T15:13:00.001+12:00

Yep, its RIP OF THE WEEK time. Here's some party funk I played on Monday that got the broze craning necks.

While this is by no means mega rare, it HAS been a funk staple of my box for going on eons now- impeccably executed disco funk, punctuated by staccato clavinets, finely glazed with crowd noise and moog solos, topped off with that tried and true hype-it-up tactic- the city by city roll call!

Grab this album if you see it, not hard to find and contains some rock solid joints (also check 'Time'). Appears on 'Organized ConFunkShun' (Pickwick 1973).

[Side note... Like most funk bands making the transition from 70s to 80s, Con Funk Shun decided to flip their 'look'. All you have to do is peep the cover of their 'To The Max' album- from the dirty funk to pink sweaters in just under ten years. But as we say in the music business, mugs gotta eat.

RIP OF THE WEEK: Terry-T.- My Way Home (Get This Party Jumpin')

2010-08-10T21:35:00.004+12:00

Hot pic, but you'll need 3D glasses to read it.

After the post that I did on Hip-House on here I thought this would be appropriate for my first HIQI "RIP OF THE WEEK".

This is a stand out tune which is way faster than anything else on the 12" sampler of his album "The Oaktown Sound". That said, I like to listen to it a little slower than this (around -4) but in the spirit of archiving it, I recorded it at its true speed.

Said recording is a touch on grimy side due to some rinsed needles and
because Terry put this out himself on his own "Tee's Records" imprint. Keep it real I say...

So slow it down, get your two step on and watch out for the hot piano solo at the end.

P.S. Warning for all the DJs : the drums start falling out of time towards the end, mix out of that shit!

RIP OF THE WEEK: The Futures- Ain't No Time Fa Nuthin'

2010-08-04T11:11:00.000+12:00

Where to start with this tune? HUGE! I first copped this on an old Philly compilation by the righteous Norman Jay, many moons ago, where it was THE standout tune (big call, especially when other names on the comp were the cream of Philadelphia International!)

It really came into it's own for me though when I moved to London a few years back, and would hear it played on many occasions at Jazz Re:Freshed, an excellent night on Portobello Road (still run to this day by the mighty Uprock crew. Big ups!)... Also shouts to the master, Manuel Bundy, who I've heard drop this more than once or twice!

Beautiful arrangement, beautiful vocals (check the baritone and falsetto styles!), wonderful soul music. Bump this, nice and loud, ripped from vinyl to a nice 320 mp3. Enjoy!

RIP OF THE WEEK: Ureaus- Let Our Music Make Love To You

2010-07-26T21:29:00.000+12:00

A new installment to the HIQI blog! Bleeeeve it!

The included photo is not mine, its from the OG 45 release. I WISH this was the 'disco version' though. This version is ripped from my 'Abet Review' compilation circa 1976, clocking in at around 3:00. It says this about Ureaus:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. Ureaus is a super group from the Washington area. This dynamite group is a real crowd pleaser as evidenced by their recording 'Let Our Music Make Love To You'. And this it does. You will fall in love with Ureaus and their music."

Also: "Excello 2345- Let Our Music Make Love To You"

Odd that so little is actually written about this 'super group'. The other profiles on this compilation are a bit more extensive but this is by far the stand out track.

A staple of my crates for the last 10 years, nuff said. Enjoy!

HIQI Radio DOUBLE DOSE PT. 2- July 5 & 12, 2010

2010-07-14T10:05:00.001+12:00

Another hiccup in the George production assembly line, another double dose. Here's the heat from the last two weeks. July 5 we were missing Booker (on a birthday mission, happy 32nd hombre), July 12 we were missing our producer and main man the Harmonizer, hence no playlist. Hit us if you're jonesing to know any of the tunes...

Welcoming Mr. Brainwash to the fold...
