Fun in the studio

Thanks to my friends Giuseppe Surace, Vinni and Max I can still know what house music is all about. These videos show the story of a track, from recording the chords to being played in the club by Luis Radio during his wonderful set @ Lanificio, Rome last saturday.

George Benson playing Take Five

Just continuing my hunt for those wicked videos!

The Funk Hunt – History of a record

for all you funk lovers….enjoy! and here is the second part:

Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage (1987)

In this vintage video of the Paradise Garage Larry Levan is playing the fabulous “Over and Over”, by Sylvester…Soulfuric’s DJ John Julius Knight sampled this song many years after to make his hit “Find a Friend”. Larry Levan’s spirit is strong and alive!

Quincy Jones: Ai no corrida Live!

This song, sampled many years ago by my friends Spellband, is pure joy!

Herbie Hancock jams with his Fairlight CMI

Please watch this video from the beginning to the end, you won’t regret! Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones together in the studio, funky keys. Listen to Herbie speaking at the end….

Giorgio Moroder’s innovation

This is a tribute to Giorgio Moroder, one of the pioneers of electronic music. Listening to what he was doing more than tweny years ago makes me thing that current electro-house isn’t bringing up much innovation!
