Scott Wozniak. Producer, Musician, DJ extraordinaire. Soul, soul, soul.... Scott featured a free download of 30 of his remixes, and I couldn't help but throw down a mix session!

These days, a great deal of tracks are over produced, and filled with bleeps and blings, detracting from the essence of the song. However, I've always admired Scott's dedication to digging right into a track and signifying it's pulse and beauty. As a producer, it's easy to keep adding nonsense to a song and losing sight of the masterpiece.

All truth, no trash!

Featured Artists In The Mix: Pizzicato Five! Over 80 Minutes of Pizzicato Five (or P5 or Pizzicato V)!!!

Debuting in 1985, Pizzicato Five has embedded their place in music history and culture. Hailing from Japan, their sound and style covers so many genres, that it's almost impossible to define them, as they continually pressed the musical envelope, creating such illustrious songs and soundscapes.

I've often called them the "Deee-Lite of the East".

With such a broad range of rhythms, masterful musicianship and clever production, it gave remixers so many blips, clips and hooks to play with. Pizzicato Five's songs have been remixed by the likes of The Thievery Corporation, Towa Tei, Satoshi Tomiie, Arling and Cameron, 808 State, Dan the Automater, DJ Dara, Gusgus, Saint Entienne, Dimitri From Paris, Momus, Daniel Miller, Gareth Jones, Oval and much, much more!!!

Disbanding in 2001, Pizzicato Five's sound lives eternally, as I've created this fine blend, featuring their compositions only. Enjoy the fun, enjoy the grooves, enjoy the patterns, enjoy the textures, enjoy the hooks, enjoy the musicianship, enjoy the creativy.....and of course, enjoy the music!!!!

In the spirit of Brazilian Carnivale, I have the honor of bringing you the uncomparable sounds of Axe' pronounced (ah-shay'). Axe' is a Brazilian musical style that fuses different Afro-Caribbean genres, such as Marcha, Reggae, and Calypso. Plus it also includes influences of Afro-Brazilian music as well. The word "axé" comes from a religious greeting that means "soul", "light", "spirit" or "good vibration".

With such an ideal definition, the Brazilian style exudes an extreme, exciting energy that's incredibly infectious and uplifting! The rhythms in Axe' are so distinct and captivating, you can literally feel the Brazilian force of their weeklong, intensively fun celebration! In fact, its so much fun, the Government distributes endless supplies of condoms to the revelers.

Thus, I present Axe' Brasilia Carnivale. Enjoy!!!

BLOG ENTRY 12/21/10: PRINCE, STILL HAS IT!!
December 21, 2010 04:12 PM PST
itunes pic


IZOD CENTER, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, DEC 15, 2010

As my wife and I exited the Izod Center in the blistering cold, we were hardly affected by the numbing chill as overwhelm warmed our bones, due to an awe inspiring show by Prince. Though I've seen Prince on numerous occasions, I didn't think I'd be this mesmerized from such an outstanding display.

After viewing enjoyable opening performances by Esperanza Spalding and Lalah Hathaway, the darkened theater was inevitably lit by the musical legend, as he surprisingly rose from the floor, under a stage, which was impressively shaped by his infamous symbol.

Opening up with a vibrant version of "Laydown", he and his band proceeded into an energized megamix of classics including "Cream" and "U Got The Look". Though performing on such a magnanimous stage, the platform was an extremely entertaining playground, which was filled with flawless, non-stop choreography by his band and three female vocalists. At one point, Prince was assisted by a ballet dancer as he effortlessly played "The Beautiful Ones" on his grand piano.

The concert didn't go without elements of surprise. Interestingly, at one quick moment, confetti was shot towards the crowd, leaving the audience, gasping with smiles. Though it may sound like a halftime show antic, it was a welcoming stunner. He even had the concert lights turned off, and encouraged the filled arena to flick on their cell phones. Though reminiscent of an Erricson commercial, the phonelit room was fun and engaging, allowing untypical audience participation.

Though Prince has a plethora of musical hits and fan favorites, it's unlikely that he can play them all. However, I've been told that no concert on this final tour will have the same setlist. I guess which is why my obsessive wife is going to two more concerts in January.

Regardless of high hopes to hear Prince's greatest hits, his overall performance was impeccable and dynamically impressive. Every moment on stage entailed a magical energy, filled with entertaining excitement. Each step, each movement, each note, was displayed with diligence, significance and meaning.

Winding down the evening, Prince and his gifted group of artists performed a fist pumping medley of "Controversy" and "Le Freak" by Chic. The encore consisted of such vibrance and energy, their final note left the audience in awe and desiring more, much more.

Me inclusive. -RR

WIGGLE CITY LIVE - 1990: TWENTY YEAR OLD HIP-HOP - DEC, 2010

Featured Artists In The Mix: The Jaz f. Jay-Z, BDP, Masta Ace, Ice Cube, King Tee, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, K-Solo, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Nice & Smooth, D-Nice, Lord Finesse, Jungle Brothers, Kid Frost Kings of Swing, Double XX Posse and Much, Much More!

Zero scores and Twenty years ago, the hip hop culture was still making a name for itself, yet growing quite rapidly. Hip hop music gave urban communities a chance to express the realities of poverty and pain, and give them a proverbial voice to be heard. Like it's predecessor, rock and roll in the 1950's, both genres were oppressed by the general public conservatives. In this case, hip hop in the 90's, widely romanticized violence, drugs, and war. Ironically, it's been said that hip hop saved a lot of lives, giving many an outlet as an alternative to joining gangs.

Regardless of the opinions, the year 1990 was exceptional turn of the decade for hip hop music and culture. If you listen closely, it's easy to decipher the important messages, trying to be conveyed. Even if you don't listen closely, the party beats will keep you rocking, nodding, moving and grooving! In retrospect, I think every song in this mix used a sample. Have a good time and enjoy the journey of hip hop, 20 years old!!!

BLOG ENTRY 8/25/10: WIGGLE CITY'S TOP 5 DISCO FAVORITES
August 24, 2010 09:36 PM PDT
itunes pic

We love soul. Whether the soul makes you nod your head, tap your feet or get up and dance, we love it. Soul is apparent in so many genres of music, that our musical tastes cover an extremely broad spectrum of aural pleasures...including DISCO! Welcome to Wiggle City's Top 5 Disco Faves!

5. "Hear Comes That Sound Again" - Love De-Luxe, 1979, Warner Bros.
Love De-Luxe was a studio group, spearheaded by infamous British producer, Alan Hawkshaw, well known for his Mowhawks production "The Champ". Plus, he's the father of Kirsty Hawshaw, whose beautiful voice graced us with pioneering songs with Orbital and Opus III. Featuring Vicki Brown and Jo-Ann Stone on vocals, this disco favorite reached #1 on the Hot Dance Music chart. This hot track was also remixed by dance music producer, Simon Harris, in 1988. Plus, we at Wiggle City have worked with both Alan and Kirsty. Craziness!

4. "Ten Percent" - Double Exposure, 1976, Salsoul
"Ten Percent" was recorded in Philadelphia's legendary Sigma Sound Studios. But it was NYC DJ, Walter Gibbons, who remixed the original 4 minute recording into a 9 minute club smash, making "Ten Percent" the first commercial 12" single by Salsoul Records. Not only did the song reach gold status, but it was historically part of the early stages of "remixing". When Gibbons first played his 12" remix live, one club patron exclaimed, "it sounded so new, going backwards and forwards. It built and built like it would never stop. The dance floor just exploded." We at Wiggle City absolutely agree.

3. "Come To Me" - France Joli, 1979, Prelude
This beautiful disco track was recorded when France Joli was only 15 years old. Raised in Montreal, Joli received her big break when she was a last minute replacement for Donna Summer for a concert held in Fire Island, NY, before an audience of 5000 fans. From here, her record shot up the charts, reaching up to #15 in the Billboard Hot 100. She and producer, Tony Green, share a smooth duet on the song, but it's Joli's sincere voice that makes this "feel good" track irresistable.

2. "Groovin You" - Harvey Mason, 1979, Arista
Harvey Mason is known as a jazz drummer, working with greats such as Bob James, Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd, George Benson and many others. But Mr. Mason's disco gem is filled with so many hooks and strong basslines, it was sampled in Gusto's 1995 house anthem, "Disco's Revenge". Harvey's son, Harvey Mason Jr., is also a formidable producer and songwriter, working with the likes of Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and more. Though it seems that everyone was creating disco tracks in the 70's, "Groovin'You"'s wonderful essence sets itself apart.

1. "Mainline" - Black Ivory, 1979, Buddah
Based out of Harlem, Black Ivory had numerous R&B hits throughout the 1970's. In fact, some of their songs were sampled by Q-Tip, Brand Nubian and Omarion. Lead vocalist, Leroy Burgess, is related to the founding members of Kool & The Gang and still performing and releasing albums today. The melodies on this club hit are extremely memorable and the song changes keep the sound moving, vibrant and energetic, making "Mainline" an ultimate bigroom favorite.

Honorable Mentions:
"Wear It Out" - Stargard
"Let No Man Put Asunder" - First Choice
"Mandolay" - LaFlavour
"I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" - Gonzalez
"Street Player" - Chicago

Props to the all-star filled DJ lineup who wooed the crowds all evening, featuring DJ Freedom, Mike Maserati, SuperDJ Terrell Clark & Jym Pratt.

Thanks to all for such a memorable event, as hints of Shelter loomed the summer night environment.
