It was a great era and an innocent era for music. Many of the originators played an important role in the growth of house and even hip-hop, both the likes of Tyree, Fast Eddie, Kool Rock Steady and Mike Dunn are rarely talked about these days. I've always been a fan so have decided to pay homage once more. This is feel good party music that will make ya wanna dance!

The legend that is Willie Mitchell passed away last Tuesday. He was an amazing musician and producer for over 50 years and even recently he was making great records. Al Green, Ann Peebles, O.V. Wright, Syl Johnson and many more benefited from his unique southern soul sound, and I love his music so much that I've gathered some of my favourites together in a mix that I broadcast on my Black on Red show last Saturday, paying homage to a musical legend. If you like this please go and investigate further his amazing catalogue and delve deeper into the work of these great singers. Some of this music is well known, while much of it is under-rated and under-recognised, despite heavy sampling from the like sof the RZA. It deserves a wider audience. Willie Mitchell R.I.P.

I've finally got around to uploading this to my podcast!

“This mix is part of RedFM’s Collections series which goes out every Friday night at 11PM and finds various Cork DJ’s playing tunes from their favourite artists. It was an impossible task cutting it down but I put together a hip-hop styled mix that used elements from the jazz, reggae, soul, funk, hip-hop and rock stuff that I was mainly influenced by over the years; obviously, it’s only a snapshot as time was of the essence but it flows relatively well and should work for chilled out listening. There are a million disco, house, latin and indeed hip-hop and soul things that I could have put in but the mix is the best way I could sum up my musical taste in one sitting and I hope you enjoy it. I dedicate this selection to my first baby Lola who was born the day after it was first broadcast, she was on my mind as I put this together and I know she is gonna dig the tunes!” - Stevie G

A mix i recorded paying tribute to some of the great mans music, including loads of best songs, plus many more he wrote for the Stax team. It also includes many of the hip-hop and r&b tracks that sampled his work.

Here's a piece I wrote for last weeks Cork Evening Echo, it can also be found on my blog, alongside a tribute to another legend, Jerry Wexler, at
http://steviegblog.blogspot.com

A few years ago, after the death of Barry White, I remember doing a
radio tribute to the soul star in which I was at pains to stress he
was a lot more than
the stereotypical love walrus that much of his later work
portrayed. It’s a similar story really to Isaac Hayes, who passed
away last weekend after an
eventful and rewarding life. Yes, he was another ladies man and he
helped mould that image himself; but there was so much more to
Isaac Hayes, and
as always it takes a mans passing for his impact to be assessed properly.
The notoriety in later years and subsequent
controversy with his role as Chef in Southpark garnered a lot of
the attention this week, and it is
fair to say that Isaac’s roles as actor and of course soundtrack
artist were important in his career, but a closer look reveals he
was much more. His role
in the Civil rights movement was very important and at a crucial
time in black America Isaac Hayes used his fame and fortune for
very good uses, as his
people made important strides that we sometimes take for granted
these days. A lot of this activism dovetailed with his movies but
years later, long
before his Southpark fame rehabilitation, he became very involved
in other humanitarian causes too, particularly in Africa.
But it all goes back to his music really. Even in
later years he hosted an evening 5-hour radio show and Isaac Hayes
had the music in him from
the start. Replacing the legendary Booker T as Stax session player
in one of the most important rhythm sections in popular music, he
was thrown in at
the deep end but swam better than nearly anyone. Alongside David
Porter he established one of the truly dynamic song writing and
arranging duos, and
the hits and recognition came without much delay. Sam and Dave were
particular beneficiaries, as Stax became the grittier and more
street orientated
brother of the similarly massive Motown.
Isaac Hayes soon achieved immense solo success
aswell, “Hot Buttered Soul” was an extravagant album that was huge
at the time, but “Shaft”
and the Grammy’s and the big time soon followed as his career
rarely missed a step before it all went bad and Stax went bust.
Like many other Afro-
American music legends, he was at relatively low ebb by the mid
80’s, with the high points of the previous decade a distant memory.
He was always
held in high esteem by music fans though, and like James Brown and
other soul men he became a staple and important symbol of the new
hip-hop
generation.
His dress sense and attitude predicted hip-hop years
before it happened, but his rich sweeping music arrangements did
even more. The Wu
Tang Clan, Biz Markie, Portishead, Massive Attack and Public Enemy
were just a few who took his template and made something new, catch
some of
these sample. Rest in Peace brother.

Horrible term, but a good way of describing this one, culled mainly from the 90's

Massive Attack, Attica Blues, DJ Shadow, Air, FishgoDeep with Tracey K, Bjork, Jhelisa, Morcheeba, King Britt, Tranquility Bass, Portishead, Mr Scruff, Rae and Christian feat Veba, Chubby Grooves, Nightmares on Wax and lots more

It also includes a tune I produced with FishgoDeeps Greg and Shane, "Sin's I've Lost, under the Deep South Recodings guise (DSP)

It's not a bad mix!

A Tribute to the late great hip-hop producer that I recorded off the bat, hours after he died. I rushed it a bit and could only find half of his records, but it's still got it's moments-This guy influenced me more than any in the 90's, and i've been down since day one, long before he became fashionable his records were big on my mixes, at my club nights and on my radio shows-RIP
