69 Cancer Sign

One of those interesting artifacts from the dawn of hip-hop - futurist sci-fi electro disco with a healthy dose of vocoder. Quality vibes through and through.

Don't Give Your Love Away

Another good vibe boogie groove on New York's iconic Sam Records. Fun fact: Sam's founder, Sam Weiss, went on to form Nervous Records with his son, Mike Weiss, in 1991.

Take A Chance

Here's a fresh rip of the Italo mega classic, Take A Chance to get your weekend started right! I know vocal version has made the blog rounds over the years, but the rips are always questionable & often from bootleg pressings. Rest assured, these are from an OG (which sounds way better than the Cosmic Explorer bootleg). Plus I don't think the instrumental is so easy to find online, so say thanks and play LOUD!

Nothin' But The Transformation (Bad Boy Sources)

I want to do a little series on Bad Boy sample sources, now I'm not going to post "Can't Hold Me Down", "It's All About The Benjamins" or anything obvious like that. I'm going to focus on lesser known songs that have great original sources like Mic Geronimo's track "Nothin' Move But The Money". Puff's producers were definitely on point when they looped up Nona Hendryx's "Transformation" for this record. It's a sick track to spin out as well as a great listen. Check out both the original and Bad Boy's Hip-hop version, Hope ya Dig. Enjoy!
