Byrd Love

Sublime edit of Donald Byrd's I Feel Like Loving You Today from the hall of fame themes for young lovers album Love Byrd. It's pretty darn obvious Issac Hayes is all over this production. Smoooth.

Feel Like Loving You Today - Cosmic Boogie Edit by Cosmic Boogie

Geek bonus points - DJ Premier sampled it to great effect on Group Home's 2 Thousand Joint. Check the instrumental

Heavy Lovin'

The Revenge have a case of the so hot right nows in the production/remix/edit game and this rework of Marvin Gaye will give you a pretty good idea as to why that's the deal.

Love - 70's Style

Killer 70's slow jam set from Bozack Morris of http://www.black-rap.com/blog/ fame, here's what he had to say -

If you know how I get down, you know I love my slow jams. Two years ago, I began working on this Black Zodiac project which consisted of some of my favourite 70's soul slow jams. Unfortunately I never got around to finishing it, even though it gained some positive feedback in its unfinished form. After two years on the backburner, I never touched it until now. In fact what you hear now is basically the unfinished version. Regardless I didn't want to keep it in the vaults for much longer, so here it is, Black Zodiac, the sounds of 70's love. Nothing fancy, just that good old soul music.

This is your opportunity to take it back to that 70's love groove. So invite an intimate friend over, light up the incense, grow a full set of pubes, play this on the highest volume and enjoy!

If You Don't Watch Out...

Sexual Chocolate

Not only is J-Live is one of my fave emcees due to his great knack for storytelling and effortless flow it turns out he's also pretty handy on the turntables as shown on this killer mix of love songs that have been sampled by hip hop artists over the years.

You Look So Good In The Summertime

With Summer upon us it doesn't get much better musically than this ode to all the beautiful & lovely ladies out there by Lee Fields & The Expressions.

Maybe it's got something to do with more skin being flashed around but everyone really does look a lot better in the summertime don't they?*

'I know your man is pleased all the way down to his knees' - killer.

*if you're not convinced please refer to the pic above. Daaaaammmmnnn!

Playing The Fool

Possibly the most perfect song to listen to after someone has broken your heart ever. From the moment the spoken word introduction kicks in you just know everthing is going to be alright.

Okay, so you're heart broken
You sit around mopin'
Cryin' and cryin'
You say you`re even thinkin' about dyin'
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this...

Here Come The Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls!

Nice little re-edit by DJ Andy Smith of Portishead fame taking the funk/soul classic Here Come The Girls by Ernie K Doe and sprinkling it with a little bit of Jay-Z's Girls, Girls, Girls. Winner.

Love Straight Out Of Chairman Mao's Crates

Stumbled upon NYC DJ/Author/TV Producer/Legend Chairman Mao's blog the other day whilst blog hopping and damn there are some treats to be had!

Here are two love joints on the 45 tip that I grabbed, but make sure you head on over to see/hear what else is on offer.

Love - Beverly & Duane Listen/Download

One More Chance - Margie Joseph Listen/Download

You Can't Have Your Donut and Eat It Too

Things are going great, you've found that special someone and you're madly in love but then snap! you're forced to move away for one reason or another. You agree to hold out for each other but as time passes by things don't go to plan and the person waiting for you moves on with their life by hooking up with someone else even though you've kept your part of the bargain, ouch! and to make matters worse they say they're still in love with you!

This Sylvers tune from 1972 tells a similar tale with the outcome being that only one can win your love and as a result the heartbreaker must choose between the two.

Only One Can Win - The Sylvers Listen/Download

Late hip hop super producer J Dilla begs to differ with the Sylvers by sampling their tune and going with the Two Can Win title as featured on his Donuts album.

You, You Got What I Neeeeed!

Is there a better tale of heartbreak than Biz Markie's 'Just a Friend'? Few rappers do the story telling thing better than Biz and this is definitely one of his finest moments as he recounts the ordeal of his cheating girlfriend that he met on tour.

If you've ever had your heartbroken by some cheating bitch/scumbag you'll be able to relate and if you're lucky enough to have avoided any of that action or you yourself are the cheating bitch/scumbag i guess you can always just sing-a-long! 'Ohhh Baby...'

Watch the video - Here

And as a bonus here is the original love themed joint that Biz sampled for the track.

Oh Snap!

Time For Love

Dang! sure fire dance floor burner alert! DJ Apt One has hooked up this killer edit of Archie Bell's 1981 love themed disco joint 'Any Time Is Right'.

Not too much going on lyrically "Any time is right, for makin' sweet love, almost anywhere is good enough" but just try sitting still while it's playing, I dare you!

Dance floor lovers unite!

Short Ones, Tall Ones, Fine Ones, Kind Ones...

Now this really isn't a love song as such BUT it's still a great theme for that young lover who has had their heartbroken. We all know that love doesn't always run smoothly so this is a great track to listen to after the break-up and realise that there are infact plenty more fish in the sea!

San Francisco native DJ B.Cause takes the vocals of 1960's Motown girl group The Marvelettes' 'Too Many Fish In The Sea' and puts them over a nice chopped up edit of De La Soul's 'Oooh' instrumental resulting in a funky 'who needs that arsehole anyway' anthem for the ladies.

Bait up your hooks and go get it! Download
