Blue Boy – Remember Me (Original 12″)

 

From Scottish DJ Lex Blackmore (aka BlueBoy), we have his 1997 dance hit, “Remember Me”.  The track is built around two samples from “Woman of the Ghetto“, a 1969 soul song by Marlena Shaw. From wiki:

“The original song [“Woman of the Ghetto] is polemic to legislators delivered by a woman from a black American ghetto. Near the end is the line: “Remember me? I’m the one who had your babies”, in reference to black maids raising white children for little pay in America. This sample is repeated throughout “Remember Me”, as is a sample of a scat portion of the refrain.”

Black Light Dinner Party – Older Together

 

Live drums, a fuzzy bassline, a killer lead makes up this track from Black Light Dinner Party.  This track is more in the electronic vein of Miike Snow, so in other words, this is a winner.  Looking forward to hearing more from BLDP!  For the time being you can follow them on Facebook.

Black Light Dinner Party – Older Together

Bio:

4 Producers, 3 cities and 2 years of sonic collaboration give life to a new hybrid. Sonically ranging from thick, off-kilter beats, saturated basslines and vintage electronics – to glowing harmonics, breathing vocals and elegant, heartfelt arrangements. Older Together, the first song the band ever wrote (with a video to follow), illuminates the foundation of Black Light Dinner Party — LA beats rolling along with bohemian ease, New York synths on a frosted Sunday morning and Lush Parisian melodies, always with a taste for the bittersweet.
