„I'm going away tonight.“

Mr. James Brown is not just someone, he was James Brown in person the godfather of soul, the hardworking man in buissnes.


He was a man who stand´s up for, if he can do it the way it should be done, he don´t go at all.


We are talking here about a person, who came from purest conditions, never had a real home, as a child they moved with work any season somewhere else.


We are talking about person who gathered the best soul musicians as his band, Pee Wee Elis, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, as a bass player even Bootsy Collins, this are all musicians that can look back on the time with Mr. James Brown and a solo careers as artists as well, not to mention the soulladies like Lyn Collins and Marva Withney...


The reason for this small in memoriam to Mr. James Brown are the following coming promissed mixes, starting on the 10-th of March with James Brown´s B-Side, following with a Livehour with Mr. James Brown and few more mixes of James Brown and his companions.


So stay tuned and I hope u will like it a bit.

Soulady´s by expressyourselve....

I know that u can say it is almost a same mix as synergetic, what I do not denied and the singer in Larry Young´s Fuel is a female..

When I made my decision to make this blog, primary argument was wide retrospective of music choices and mixes, somebody like more constellation of synergetic other one see in soulady's something else.

So u can decide if u like both or one of them.

So enjoy anyway and stay polite to each other....

Next projects

The point is to have more possibilities to learn some music, some artists or just songs, it is not necessary to have every mix for collection, what would be something that I never think and imagine, it is just the choice.

I will do in some time some projects in the direction of influence of Mr. James Brown, their will be some musician that u already know from some past mixes and some new, with songs that are, so possible will be, not in the published mixes.
The thought is to make a journey as a tribute to Mr. James Brown, who is for me the person that is, not as popular called Godfather of Soul, patron for several artists.

To Mr. James Brown is I have a special relationship, I was always admire his dancing style, I loved to see this guy dancing nobody on this planet was dancing like James Brown, Michael Jackson was having his own stile, real good one, but not even close to James Brown, nobody was doing such a show such work is better expression on his concerts as James Brown.

O.K. I know some people will say Prince is having a great show too, yes but it is a show, James Brown was worker, labour.

I think the best describing sentence is the beginning of the duet song Sunny with Marva Whitney & second version with Dee Felice Trio, when he said : "This is way a feel." that describes James Brown, as like the sentences in the song: "For me happiness is when Maceo is playing' his horn..."

I will pay attention to his brass band, Maceo Parker, Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley, and off course the Lady's that J.B. was helping in building their carrier, most of them are already on the mixes, but their will be they other songs.

And I plan Mr. James Brown mix on his own only one J.B..

So I think their will be around 3-4 mixes but it will take some time until their are finished.

In between I will like to do some other kind of mixes in Jazz and Rock&Roll direction, just for me, here I am egoistic, hehehe, no I just wont some other music in my ears, I love music, good music from any direction, that will be puplishe too, if their will be something to hear..

Until this projects are finished their will be some Lounges as mixes published, as continuing from beginning with Brazilectro I&II and Easylectro, I think here around 4-6 mixes maybe less, I don’t know now, approximate 5 new mixes in that direction.
　
So I hope u will enjoy it too, stay tuned and be polite to each other....
