Kim Sun

He is often referred to as the Korean Elvis. A fierce guitarist and popular producer by the name of Shin Jung Hyun wrote this beautiful, melancholic song in the end of the 60s. From Stones Throw's lessons in global psych funk (and not funky psychedelia). Lower the lights now please for the man who must leave...

The Modern Lovers


" Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called..."

Elvis Presley


Written by Bill Trader in 1952 and first performed by Hank Snow who peaked at number four on the country charts early 1953.

A recording by Elvis Presley was even a bigger hit, reaching number one in the UK and number two in the USA (1959)....

"Now and then there's a fool such I "....Wohhhh Elvis!!!!

Soul Shaker Vol. 6

Oh, I get a kick out of RecordKicks!
I’m a big fan of dj Nick Recordkicks and have been checking on his label in Milan since day one.

In the words of Craig Charles: "RK is like a great wine, it gets better and better with every passing year. If you are wondering why there has been a renewed interest in soul & funk over the past few years then RK has to take some of the credit!"

I think the man has great taste when it comes to contemporary soul/funk/grooves/dancefloor jazz with a distinctive old-style feel and his “Let’s boogaloo” and “Soul Shaker” series have accounted for many hours of shameless, uncontrolled dancing frenzy (not just for me, obviously…).

So, there it is! The sixth installment in the “Soul Shaker” series has just been released! And it’s good, good thing. Get a taste from these three really big tracks until you get your hands on the real thing.

Dj Vadim Vs Paul McCartney & Wings

…your revolution will not happen between these thighs

your revolution will not be killing me softly, with Fugees

your revolution will not make you feel bombastic and really fantastic
your revolution makes me wonder, where could we go
if we could drop the empty pursuit of props and ego
we'd revolt back to our Roots, use a little Common Sense
on a quest to make love De La Soul, no pretense
because the real revolution, that's right I said the real revolution

you know I'm talking about the revolution
when it comes, it's gonna be real..

Brainy lyrics, uplifting rhythm and a powerful voice…
