Ben Pearce - Patticakes

Featuring samples from Quincy Jones' classic 'Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me', here is a new piece of Disco from Manchester-based producer Ben Pearce, which is available as a free download courtesy of Annie Mac's MM. Very difficult to do a track like this justice, but 'Patticakes' oozes class from start to finish.

In The City

After releasing one of my favourite House tracks of 2010 (Gonna Be Alright); Martin Dawson & Crom have teamed up once again to create something which is nothing short of spectacular. Most of you Hip-Hop heads will recognize the sample, but those of you that don’t - they have sampled ‘Summer In The City’ by Quincy Jones’ which was used by The Pharcyde on one of their most successful singles; Passin’ Me By. This track is available on their latest EP, which is called About You. These guys really know how to make music.

Quincy Jones’ new album, Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, is definitely one of the more interesting LP’s of 2010. A couple of the tracks and features are absolutely awful, but there are a few gems on there and this one with Snoop Dogg is a little bit special. Got me really excited for Doggystyle 2.

Not sure about the hook/chorus, but the verses and beat are sick (B.O.B’s in particular).
