In the first of a no doubt inconsistent and randomly appearing series of re-edits - here’s a cracker to start us off with. Parappa is a friend of NC and has kindly shared with us a re-edit of Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s cover of Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Life. In Parappa’s words:

I didn’t like playing the original ‘cos I really hated the corny vocal so I’ve ripped it all out and filled out the gaps with appropriate instrumental snippets. It’s a good partner to that new orleans brass band cover of sexual healing which was popular a while back.

So download, share, enjoy and leave a comment! Thanks Parappa!

Dirty Dozen Brass Band - Inner City Life (Parappa re-edit)

Right - I’m ashamed to say I’ve had this for ages and not put it up. This is a great little hiphop track from Mr Jones - a friend of ours from Manchester. I really really like it - hope you do too.

Mr Jones - He Lived

Cheeky track I did a while back - time to get it out to celebrate some fucking sun (finally).

Ron’s Flute.

Does everyone want to hear Ron Burgundy play some Yazz Flute?

Here’s a new tune for you from me - ‘My Side’. Have a listen and let me know what you think. Oh go on. It’s a Monday, what else are you going to do.

Here’s a tune I wrote a while ago, and I just got round to tidying a few bits up on it so I thought I’d post it up. It’s not going to change the world, but it’s a bit of fun. I’m sure there’s more that could be done, certainly production wise, but it’s got to the ‘banging head against a wall’ stage and I just want to draw a line under it really.

Called ‘Coal Hop’ cos it sounds a bit like a Coal Miner’s brass band doing hip hop. With Sesame street samples over the top. It’s a pretty serious tune, as you can tell. There’s been interest in using it as the new theme tune to Panorama.

Have a listen and feel free to comment.
