The Ed Bang Clan takes MGMT’s 10 min psychedelic prog-opus and transforms it into a journey of sound and dance. It all begins with a 70s Pop ballad-esque re-working in the vain of the Alessi Brothers/The Bee Gees with a lush string part, piano, acoustic guitar and harmonica – a section of the “remix” that I assume is SO ME’s doing. Next is a classic Breakbot smooth funk section, no complaints from me on this yacht rock section of the re-visioning. The last part is Busy P’s psychedelic breakbeat section that closes out the dance-opus. Overall a very impressive and tasteful Remix by the Ed Banger Team.

I had the privilege to see the mighty Flying Lotus live a few weeks ago at Hard Turkey Soup NYC with A-Trak and Tiga – this time with Thundercat on bass and a live drummer. It was great to hear Flying Lotus’ DJ/Live set accompanied by such stellar musicians. Flying Lotus brings his futuristic fusion jazz space funk to the BBC via an amazing live session at the legendary Maida Vale studios. This is an amazing live session that gives a nod to some of the great Jazz Fusion acts such as Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report but of course with Flying Lotus’ genius touch. Also they play one of my fav tracks of his “Tea Leaf Dancer”.

A dark disco re-visioning of Penguin Prison’s Pop opus “Golden Train” by Pink Stallone. I love the chunky growling synths on this production.

Jackson of Jackson & His Computer Band turns Treasure Fingers’ disco house pop track into an epic space house track ready for the dancefloor. Now the question is when will we hear some new music from Jackson…
