Feel my Bicep

Quality tribally looper here from the Talking Heads, as ever perfectly executed, on the wonderful Fear of Music album The lyrics are an adaptation of Dadaist Hugo Ball’s poem “Gadji beri bimba.” either way this is weirdly funky!

Here are a couple of awesome edits from our man Baresi, mixing up old party groves with some slick disco beats. If these tunes cant get the crowd dancing get out the shotgun!

First up is a edit of ‘It’s all yours’ By Starpoint from 1984, keeping all the groove that in the original and emphasising it through repetition. This one teases and teases with that synth line, then boom it all makes sense!

Second up need no more introduction than “An edit mix of Slippery People by Talking Heads and The Staple Singers…If they met in a dark alley this might be the result”

Nice little edit of the new-wave classic ‘Psycho Killer’…….from a good while ago by Greg Wilson, fairly sympathetically done, with just a little bit of cow bell and some of the live recording crowds sweeping in and out, nice, rustic and much more dj friendly.

Greg Wilson was one of the first DJs in the UK to mix two records together. He was a resident at the legendary Wigan Pier in the 1970-s and 1980-s. In 1983 he became the first DJ to host a weekly dance music night at Manchester Hacienda. Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV. He stopped DJing in 1984, but picked up his headphones again in 2003, playing at the likes of The Electric Chair, Fabric and Basics to widespread acclaim.
