Podcasturbation: Chris contracts 6 NBA teams and has a dispersal draft with the remaining 24 franchises. Chris also discusses the 'Beats, Rhymes & Life' documentary. A Tribe Called Quest represent, represent.

Saturday Night in London and I was thinking about a inspirational DJ set I saw during the week. A very stylish looking Femi Fem, formerly of the Young Disciples, played a lovely eclectic set at the National Portrait Gallery. Nice vibes. Check out the Thursday night late shift in this wonderful venue for guest DJs and exceptional acoustics.

With that in mind I dug through some old crates and pulled out a few favourites. There's nothing new on this mix but I like to think the music has a certain quality to it.

For those of you who've been watching carefully you will know that I have been hosting 'The Rare Groove Show' on www.shoreditchradio.co.uk The first show is now available as a download. Show 2 was broadcast on March 3rd and will be available to download soon.

Please follow and support this new radio venture managed by the irrepressible man about Shoreditch, Delroy Philogene.

Q-Tip - Work It Out (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-02-27

For those left who don't know who the guy is, Q-Tip is a former member of the famous hip hop band A Tribe Called Quest. He's just released a new solo album, which is quite good even for some major company shit. He'll be playing in Paris on March, 9th at l'Elysee Montmartre, but the show is already sold out. If you haven't got your ticket already then you haven't been ripped of 44 Euros (yes you've read it: 44 fucking Euros). We're kind enough to appease any hyped feelings of yours with a free and exclusive remix of the single Q-Tip had released just before his "Renaissance" album. It's called "Work It Out" and was only available as a promo 12 inch released in 2007. Now here's the Grant Phabao reggae remix - another instant neo-retro classic, as if recorded decades ago at Studio One in Jamaica...

Q-Tip's return to the music scene this year was a special one. Not only was his album, "The Renaissance" well received by his critics, but rumor has it Tip will finally release at one of his two unreleased albums of a few years ago. Kamaal the Abstract. Can't wait.

Q-Tip is coming with a new album a week from now called The Renaissance. The former A Tribe Called Quest only has one official released solo album but has quite a resume to back him up. I've heard a few songs off the Renaissance already. Looks like this could be one of my favorites of '08 (though Fun DMC is still the undisputed #1).
