Mayer Hawthorne vs PillowTalk (ft. The Festivals) – The Makings of A Lover (edit)

A very tasty and soulful edit by Mayer Hawthorne of the PillowTalk track “The Makings Of A Lover”.

DāM-FunK’s Spiritual Flight

In 2009, I quietly recorded an ‘all Gospel based, Boogie-Funk’ mix for Stones Throw. That mix was released as one of their many podcast, but was ‘cut down’ due to bandwidth rules on the record labels site. Well, here as I had promised (as a gift for all & after being repeatedly asked by many friends whom connected with my creativity, while on the road, about this full version) is the entire ‘un-edited’ recording to coincide with your holiday seasons festivities & listening pleasures in 2011 & beyond… All ‘original wax pressings’ were used for this mix. No mp3′s whatsoever were handled. With supreme respect for ALL beliefs & with love, I humbly present 2 U: “Spiritual Flight” [the complete version, as it was intended for glidin' 2]. – Dam Funk

DāM-FunK has assembled an unbelievably classy compilation of tunes here, DON’T MISS OUT on downloading it.

A Long Time

It seems like every weekend we get something new from Mayer Hawthorne, this one being no exception. Mayer Hawthorne is currently supporting Canadian eletrofunksters in Chromeo on their North American and here they splice up the track “A Long Time” with a galloping disco bass and 80′s synths.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions

Mayer Hawthorne with yet another fantastic effort, this time in the form of the “Impressions” cover EP.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions EP (Mediafire)

1. Work To Do
This one features my live band, The County: Quentin Joseph on drums, Topher Mohr on guitar, Quincy McCrary on piano, and Joe Abrams on bass. It was recorded live in a radio station studio somewhere during our Winter 2010 US tour. The tapes recently surfaced, but nobody can remember exactly where we were. The song is originally by The Isley Brothers, and that’s the only version I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”.

2. Don’t Turn The Lights On
My favorite track from Chromeo’s latest LP. On the surface it’s an electro-funk, dance floor filler, but underneath is a brilliant love ballad with lyrics that reminded me of something from Tyrone Davis. Dave1 (of Chromeo) told me the song is about a guy who falls in love with a ghost, so I wanted my version to have an eerie, ghostly feel to it. Quincy McCrary played the creepy piano solo at the end.

3. You’ve Got The Makings Of A Lover
Textbook Northern Soul from a little known Dallas, Texas group called The Festivals. I was digging for records in NY with my homey DJ Kurse, and the shopkeeper played the 45 in the store. Both of us immediately ran up to the counter and said “yo! what is THAT?!”. The original version was recorded in the late 60s, and the mix isn’t very good. I wanted a version that I could bump. Quentin Joseph played the drums and we recorded them at Sam Beaubien’s studio in Detroit. That’s Sam playing the trumpet as well.

4. Fantasy Girl
This song was written and composed by an amazing man from Pasadena named Steve Salazar. He was born with a heart condition and passed away at the young age of 27. Before he died he recorded one incredible album of demos in the mid-70s with a band called Shorty’s Portion. Peanut Butter Wolf found a copy of the album and I loved it so much that he gave it to me (thanks Wolf!). The vinyl had a handwritten note tucked in the sleeve that was addressed to anyone who could help the band with management, a record deal, radio airplay, etc. I’d estimate there were less than 300 copies pressed. That’s my Dad playing pedal steel guitar and Topher Mohr shredding the guitar solo on my version.

5. Little Person
Jon Brion is not from this planet. He penned this song for the soundtrack to Charlie Kaufman’s film “Synecdoche, NY”. I didn’t get the film at all, but I really got the soundtrack. The original has only female vocal and piano, but I always heard a larger arrangement. Hubert Alexander played some of the piano and I did everything else.

6. Mr. Blue Sky
This one also features my band, The County, and was recorded live, in one take, in a tiny makeshift tent, at a festival in Dour, Belgium.

Mayer Hawthorne – Christmas Time Is Here

We’re about to go in on this Christmas spirit here at Discobelle HQ and it seems that so is Mayer Hawthorne.

“Happy Holidays everyone,

All the best Christmas songs were written by Jews, and Chanukah songs suck. This is my favorite Christmas tune, sung over the Vince Guaraldi instrumental.

Cheers,
Mayer Hawthorne”

Party Motion

Plant Music continues with their steady stream of solid releases and now it’s time for the Calgary outfit known to the world as Smalltown Romeo and their second release on Plant Music “Party Motion” which will be out exclusively on Beatport December 3rd.

“As expected, the boys have created a tune that reflects their all-over-the-place musical tastes, from disco to hip-hop to house to electro, and this one is suitable for many different dance floors. The package comes with the much sought-after Malente remix which has already seen massive support from Diplo as well as tastemakers like Brodinski, Drop The Lime and Sinden. This mix should come with a face-melt warning. Don’t say we didn’t give you a heads up! In Flagranti, always sure to take things in a unexpected direction, comes through with a mix that veers the song towards disco but really stomps – a disco stomper? Yes. Stones Throw’s James Pants delivers a crazy tropical bass workout that is quite a departure from anything he’s done thus far – slightly left field, clever but dance floor friendly at the same time. Finally, Plant newcomer Grandtheft turns “Party Motion” into big room electro house but as always, keeps it classy. What’s that, did you just ask about the “Party Motion” video? After the sensational animated video for “Boom-Ha” it only makes sense. Rest assured, it’s almost in the can, again directed by Matt Luckhurst!
