fijiama.net – more f*ing house music

It’s been quite slow lately music-wise, or maybe that’s just me (probably…). Some of the tunes that have caught my ear have been the DJ Bone “No Sleep” record (featured in Little White Earbuds) or the Nick Holder “Time” remixes (I’m thinking Manuel Tur rather than Wahoo).

But as long as it’s slow, I might share with you two classic tracks.

Pepe Bradock – Life
Atavisme – ATA 001

This one has been creeping back into my sets recently, showing off its timelessness. The use of the Prince‘s “Purple Rain” samples is downright magnificent. This is why I forgive the man tracks like “Rhapsody in Pain”.

Joe Claussell – Agora E Seu Tempo (The Acroostic Percussion Version)
Spiritual Life Music – SLM PRO 11

This is an ultra-rare version of the beaufiful Mental Remedy (Joe Claussell + Jephte Guillaume) song. A couple of weeks ago, I walked into the MVE shop on Berwick St, London, and there it was, as if to remind me of my Spiritual Life Music obsession years ago. Fate, I presume. And I didn’t even have to pay the usual 50 pounds that it goes for on eBay. Shouts go out to Mr Madis Nestor who first turned me on to this one. I hope you like your percussion intros long.
