Stevie Wonder ‘Do I Do’
If I had to pack a record box containing a single record this would be it. Everything about this tune is tremendous whenever you play it you have to dance.
Pete Rock C L Smooth ‘They Reminisce Over You’
This is the perfect hip-hop tune, Produced by one of the greatest producers. I would class this as my favourite hip-hop tune. Always a pleasure to play.
A Tribe Called Quest ‘Scenario’
This was the first proper 90s hip-hop Karaoke joint. And you know what. It’s always in my box.
Omar ‘It’s So’
This has been a big big favourite of mine for some time. The man Omar has produced a song that takes you on a fantastic musical journey. When you see him perform this it’s like the music is inside him.
Lupe Fiasco ‘Kick Push’
I had to pick a future classic. This tune will have a big influence on modern hip-hop by taking hip hop lovers back to the world of “proper hip hip” and help put pop hip-hop in the bin.
Redman ‘Da Goodness’
As a big Redman fan had to weave him in somewhere. Love the energy from this one and it’s a great little cut up to.
Mary J Blige ‘Real Love [Hip Hop Remix]’
This in my opinion is Mary’s greatest work. Audio 2, Biggie, what more can I say.
Bob Marley ‘Natural Mystic’
This takes me back to days of being in single digits. The man Bob at his greatest and it was recorded in London.
Roy Ayers ‘Love Will Bring Us Back Together’
This is such a sexy tune. Over the last 15 years I couldn’t say how many times I’ve played or been asked to play this one.
Universal Robot Band ‘Barely Breaking Even’
Over the years I have bugged many a DJ to play this. What a tune, the legend Leroy Burgess leads you into dancing frenzy.
The next Kindred Spirit night is on the 19th Oct and is celebrating the music of Bob Marley. The one after that 16th Nov.
