who is she

Staring for too long at the breathtaking bodycon of Grace Jones in A View To Kill creates the urge to listen to the gender-bending genre-crossing era-hopping music of the sublime Miss Jones. There is no woman I worship more in every aspect of life than the alluring enigma and muse that is GJ. Oh my…

Grace Jones - Williams’ Blood

Grace Jones - Williams’ Blood (Aeroplane Remix)

Grace Jones - Williams’ Blood (Cosmic Jam Remix)

On Grace Jones’ Myspace (fuck she’s so tech savvy) there’s more intriguing remixes including one from Ivor Guest, the man who convinced Miss Jones to make Hurricane last year after decades of silence… “It doesn’t sound like the past or the future. It sounds like now, whenever now is,” she says.

And listen to more from Aeroplane – the most underrated slash underdiscovered producer in the world right now.

easter beat my head in a fight

my head is still bumpin' from the weekend. pretty unusual and not a good thing in any way. in my days of confusion and sickness, the only music that has made me feel normal on my walks down to the beach (other than d-pulse) has been casio social club.

this style of genuine 80's electro funk was never a genre of music that i actually believed existed. sure, you might hear it in the background of some 80's club video or ad (and sure chromeo and lorenz rhode give it a very very good modern day shake) but i never thought i'd actually have a track to have for my very own. casio social club have proven me wrong.

Casio Social Club - Count Your Lucky Stars (taken down by request)

Casio Social Club - 121 In Luv (taken down by request)

this music conjures up fiery images of fluoro orange sunsets, fluoro pink bikinis, fluoro blue swimming pools and fluoro brown palm trees. i wish i'd first listened to it in my lamborghini.... parked on top of a skyscraper. and it was made in this day and age. impressive
i loved this music so much that i went over to their myspace and had a bit of a stalk. god bless any person or band (other than nate dogg) that uses songs like this as inspiration:

Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Love Come Down

made me trawl through some old 80's disco favourites.. larry levan RIP..

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper (Larry Levan Garage Remix)
