Edit: Jimmy McGriff, "Where It's At"


This has been one of my favorite songs for a while. It's so simple; they do the same thing for three minutes, and then solo over some blues changes. Doesn't sound like the recipe for success, but the atmosphere of the piece - people hollering, laughing - gives it its weight. I merely added some heavier drums, so that it might bump a little harder in a DJ set. Happy weekend.

Edit: Xylos vs. Erykah Badu


Xylos is a harmony-happy five piece from New York. Erykah Badu is rambling about how everything she eats is fried (not buying it). Together, they are one lazy afternoon car ride.
