Wow. It's hot out there. How about some Latin heat to finish off the summer? Aaron Jerome's remix of Pete Rodriguez' "I Like It" gets all the female tails wagging, and not just the tanned kind. pump this up. Then turn your computer off and treat yourself to a margarita in place that plays the music too loud for conversation. Got a hot tip for a Throwback Classic?

Big Boi, "You Ain't No DJ'

by BK Staff

We've been loving everything on Big Boi's new album Sir Luscious Leftfoot. We're curious as to why it's getting no love from radio around these parts, being that it cracks harder and has catchier hooks, rhymes, and flows more futuristic than anything Drake or Nicki Minaj have put out. Their shit is lightweight. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, doesn't he! Here's another great track, "You Ain't No DJ." Do the shutterbug to it. [XXL]

Proving history is written by the winners: Here's a documentary on DJs from Brooklyn and Queens during the founding years of hip-hop in the Bronx. Try to think if you've ever heard about Brooklyn or Queens during a story about the beginning of hip-hop. [Founding Fathers NYC]

Digging Deeper

From the Philly Vaults

by Cosmo Baker

Back in March when I spun at The Do Over in Miami I think the second or third record I played was one that a whole grip of people kind of flipped their wig about. It was an instrumental version of The Ambassador's "Ain't Got The Love (Of One Girl On My Mind)" which is probably best know to our generation as the basis of Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "I Got A Love." Yeah, Ambassadors is a hot record, and definitely a heavy piece, but c'mon son...the INSTRUMENTAL?

Check out an interview with indie rock hero singer/songwriter Kristin Hersh, of Throwing Muses, on her new memoir, Rat Girl. [The Awl]


On this episode of Subatomic Sound Radio, Emch interviews (and plays a stack of jams from) Liondub: Brooklyn based DJ, producer, and label head.  Liondub has been in the game for a minute but since launching his own labels, Liondub International & Liondub 45, just over a year ago, he has made some major waves, dropping top ranking releases from Jahdan, Marcus Visionary, Ticklah and others that span dubstep, ragga jungle, drum and bass, and of course roots reggae.

Saturday, September 11 @ LOVE in NYC, Brooklyn Radio is sponsoring a event called SUB:SESSIONS "an education in low frequency vibrations".  The sound system is one of the best in the city which is just what you need for the heavyweight lineup of bass obsessed producers including Brooklyn Radio's own Emch as well as Liondub, Matt Shadetek, & DJ Kiva.  Plus controlling the mic will be Jahdan, Dub Poet Infinity, & special guest Spoek Mathambo.  Don't miss it!

Sean "Diddy" Combs is being sued by a former Bad Boy employee for age discrimination. Francesa Spero, 51, claims her 12 year relationship at the label ended after she had hip surgery and confessed to a drug relapse. (Yeah, it doesn't sound like it was an age issue. Diddy's publicist had this to say: “There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them." ) Francesa should have kept her nose out of the drooogs. It could have been Bad Boy for life! Can't stop. Won't stop. Eheh. Yeah. C'mon. [AP]

I Love My Wife

AM/FM

by Wife Material and Tough Love

Wife Material always considered herself an 80s baby, but when brainstorming ideas for the latest episode of "I Love My Wife" with Tough Love, the 70s seemed to interesting a choice to ignore. Although many aspects of contemporary music are in adoration over the last two decades of the 20th century, some of the most provocative, groundbreaking, and foundational music that the women of "I Love My Wife" love today, was influenced by the 70s. With classic rock, jazz fusion, funk, and a whole bunch of other unclassifiable gems, there's a little bit of everything on "AM/FM."

For those of you who followed Lost for 6 seasons, you may know they released the full season DVD last week, including the emotional, FINALE. Well, we at the The Shake Up also have reached a finale, the finale of AWESOME MUSIC WEEK. Of course we turned one week into 21 days [ed. note: In true DJ Chucky Brown fashion: A week in 21 days, folks. 21 days!], but we made it: classic house, funk-soul-disco, '80s part a, an intermission with dj dukes, '80s part b, and last but not least an all new ROCK awesome music show (with a couple of old tracks sneaking in). Enjoy, and let Dan Martino know how much you can't wait till the next "Awesome Music Week." [ed. note: We'll name it properly: "Awesome Music Month."

Indie rock magazine Paste, which was based in Atlanta, is no more. An overabundance of articles on Wilco and arcade Fire could not hold it together. [Gawker]


Earlier, we told you about a late '80s documentary on the Washington, DC funky go-go scene. Our Throwback Classic today is probably the most popular jam from that era and genre, Chuck Brown's "Bustin' Loose." Many people mistake it for the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. But if you're a keen listener--and we know you are, dear reader--there's a real difference in the drums JB used and the go-go style of multiple percussion. And speaking of bustin' loose...We can't wait to bust loose from this office! Have an idea for a Throwback Classic? E-mail your shackled editor: dan@brooklynradio.net.

New iPods, new iTunes logo, new Apple TV. Steve Jobs introduced a feature on iTunes called Ping, that works like Facebook, but with music. We're not sure if we should laugh or cry anymore. Instead, we'll just gurgle and stare at a screen until someone decides to get funny with the nuke bombs. [Apple]
