Roy Ayers/Sun Ra - Hummin'/Where There Is No Sun (Simon S Edits) 7" (Vibes)

Written By 3 - August 09 2010

Available Here

2 tasty re-edits of 2 quality artists. Re-edited by Simon S (Futuristica/Break Reform/Soulclap).

Taken from Roy Ayers' 1971 album 'Ubiquity' This track was a forerunner to the jazz-funk hit 'Everyone Loves The Sunshine' and was originally written by Nat (Cannonball) Adderley ('Hummin In The Sun') before getting an Ayers/Edwin Birdsong arrangement in 1971. Ayers was a pioneer, mixing advanced jazz elements with pop, funk, and rock and Hummin is a prime example of this...a particularly memorable and distinctive calling card.

Sun Ra was an innovative jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, who came to be known as much for his Cosmic Afro-futurist Philosophy as well as for his phenomenal musical compositions and performances. 'Where there is No Sun' was released on his album New Steps, released in 1978

GIG: DJ Kon (BBE/Kon & Amir) - Rising Sun - Fri 20th August

Written By 3 - August 09 2010

Renowned DJ Kon plays Auckland's Rising Sun for the first time Friday 20th August.

Kon embodies the soul of hip-hop. His compilations (with partner Amir) regularly unearth unknown, sometimes unreleased jams and anoint them classics. Kon's DJ aesthetic owes much to his East Coast upbringing in Boston, Massachusetts, mere hours from New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop. Over a lifetime of collecting, Kon's excavated records are rare classics, pulling from the best in deep funk, soul, jazz, R&B, Latin, reggae, and of course, hip-hop. Over the course of a twelve year career as a club, party and world class DJ, he's toured with likes of Sugarhill Gang, Gilles Peterson, A Tribe Called Quest, J Rocc, KRS 1, Kenny Dope, Pete Rock and ?uestlove. His discography goes eight albums deep and has gained legendary status oversees while achieving domestic recognition from some of the most beloved beat-diggers, DJs, and producers in the game. Lord Finesse has referred to Kon and Amir as "Two of the most extraordinary but underrated beat diggers in the game," and turntable virtuoso A-Trak regard their compilations and mixtapes as underground DJ classics.

Supporting DJ Kon in his Auckland debut is BBE labelmate and HIQI stalwart of style Julien Dyne (Opensouls), the mysterious disco king Frank Booker and the 'Don of Detroit' himself Recloose.
