Benji B's last ever 1Xtra show from last night is on the iPlayer for six more days only. It's basically his favourite tunes from the last eight years and is fucking boss. Check it while you can.

 

Happily, he's moving to Radio 1 from Wednesday morning, possibly following right on from Gilles.

Yes, I caught it myself. Not especially my cup of tea, but then again anything with that voice on it would be worth listening to.

I never buy those Ministry of Sound compilation CDs because they're usually shit or predictable. However, when the Disco Anthems one came out a couple of months ago I snapped it up, despite already being familiar with loads of tunes on there, simply because the quality was consistently high. That said, when it arrived I was completely blown away by one tune in particular that I hadn't heard before. This is a proper tune and when you listen to it, house music's roots in disco just scream out of the speakers at you.

Any feedback on the mix would be appreciated fellas. Any particular tunes that stand out?

[Juniper]

I'll put some thoughts up soon, Paul.

 

Have it on my iTunes still, I'm not the greatest reviewer out there (as my recent SS review proves!!) but I'll make a note to put some thoughts on my favourite tunes, asap.

[razor]

Gloria Scott - That's What You Say

Clausel - Let Me Love You

 

Brilliant! (Though pitch-shifter clearly needed for the modern listener...)

 

Haven't You Heard? - Patrice Rushen

 

Fantastic tune, Paul.

 

I know you probably have already, but for anyone interested in top music:

Benji B's been playing a touch too much "Bleep, bleep, Landan, innit?" stuff for me since the switch to Radio 1. However, things are much smoother this week with J Rocc guesting in the studio. Check it:

 

BBC - BBC Radio 1 Programmes - Benji B, J Rocc co-host

Ooh, fuck - he's brought new Madvillain cuts with him (although he reckons the album is two year away). Sweet.

By that do you mean UK funky/garage or grime/rap?

Just being facetious, Mo - I like quite a lot of what he plays and I know it's not all from the smoke; I'm just a soul boy at heart though and when he deviates from the predominantly soulful for too long, I get twitchy.

[King Gheedorah]

Yeah I'm with you. My music taste has drifted off from the old soul. Will have to explore this thread further I think. Whatever keeps me away from the FF forum...

 

The tunes I posted this morning - I think you'll like Ramadanman/Storm Queen/Wolf+Lamb.

I don't mean soul as a genre; I mean soulful in terms of melody and vocal, I suppose.

 

Of those you posted above, I'm already onto Ramadanman and Onra (got the LP). I love that fourth track and the one with the video that looks like Soul Train or something similar. What are they?

[King Gheedorah]

Carte Blanche consists of DJ Mehdi and Riton. DJ Mehdi is a household name in french house and I reckon you've heard of him. Riton is pretty new to me.
