Musique Non Stop

Loudersoft Loves DJ Day | What Planet What Channel What Station? Afrika From The Zulu Nation

07.19.07 | No Comments | Posted by E.J. Friedman

DJ DayI get all settled down and figure I’ve gotten all the world of music sorted and figured out. I look around and I see that not only do I not have this shit sorted and figured, the expansive reach of influence has touched people I know nothing about and moved them to create, recreate and infiltrate in ways I never knew they could. Take the light of DJ Day for an example. Here’s a cat from Palm Springs, California who has been digging, crating, upgrading and restating funk and soul grooves for a hot while now and I guess I slept on him. Well, I remember seeing his name on a flyer for some bomb-assed after party at Coachella this year that I couldn’t get to (I believe that involved one Mark Ronson and one Lilly Allen as well, but you know I have been wrong). OOPS, you’d better pick that up, I think I dropped a few names there.

Well, ok, that hardly matters when you’re dealing with music this smoothed out. DJ Day’s tracks are mash-ups for sure, but they’re not just average mashes. These are (wait for it)….mashterpieces. On the best day of my life with all the knowledge I have, I could not recreate a fraction of this genius with my equipment. In his own words, DJ Day says on his MySpace page that “Music to me is the most immediate form of expression and one that transcends culture, class, race, language and all that. Whether Im making my own music, or playing records in front of a crowd, I’m out to make people feel something.” Well, you got me, brotha. If you’re emoting, I’m feeling you to the maximum allowed by law.

So anyways, DJ Day got himself a little bit of music floating out there. I don’t wanna give away the man’s catalog, but I will treat you to something you probably ain’t gonna find on your own here in the states. Here’s “What Planet What Station” ripped from a vinyl 12″ re-released earlier this year on Milk Crate. Forget finding this shit on vinyl, it’s long gone. But you can bang it out for a minute. Take one part Jungle Brothers and one part soul classic, mix gently, add some spice and serve warm. Damn, that tastes good. And hey, he’s giving away this track called “Four Hills” on hi MySpace page from his newest full-length The Day Before so, yo. Check it, too.
