Here’s two cover songs for you today, both found on an excellent compilation called Jazz and Flowers. One is a sorta dnb remix of Karen Aoki’s cover of Smooth Operator and the other is a remake of Gangsta’s Paradise by UK’s Sunlightsquare, called Pastime Square, with a dancehall beat and great lyrics.

Ok, first up, I’m in the process of redesigning & adding functions to undomondo, i’ve been planning to do it for a few months (well, more than a few), but as I’m not really skilled in designing & busy most of the time, I couldn’t. This results in less frequent updates as well, because the [...]

I’ve started listening to downtempo & nujazz music around 98/99 after slowing down from listening to d’n’b all the time, that was an interesting era with acts like K&D, Tosca, Beanfield, Minus 8, Rainer Trüby, and German labels like Mole and Compost getting increasingly visible and G-Stoned establishing the Vienna nujazz Scene.

As promised a few posts ago here’s the spanking new new LP from Benedic Lamdin aka Nostalgia 77. It’s a shame I haven’t listened to his previous efforts, nor have I heard that he has won the Jazz Album Of The Year at the BBC Radio One Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards. I first heard of [...]

I hate modern life! Time flies by so fast and you can never tend to enough things. See, it’s been 5 days since I’ve written a post for undomondo and I haven’t done anything notable in the meantime, just tended to some things I’ve probably left untended for a few weeks. It’s always a race [...]
