Who is DjDezAndres? What is Livestream? Where is Detroit? Why is he the G.O.A.T When can you catch this VIBE?
I first came across http://www.livestream.com/djdezandres Via a link Jazzy Sport put on their facebook page it was a sunday morning here in the uk and i was in the mood for some tunes this looked ideal he captured my mood effortlessly the frequency and quality he delivers is astounding literally mind blowing selections everytime.
Sometimes Djs blend and mix records of the same genre Dez does nothing generic its all soul hip hop carribean latin 2 step disco breaks even transforming salsa and bossa to great effect his double of the ohio players funky worm is off the chain.
So he kills it on the turntables and its right in front of your eyes no gimmicks straight skills every selection conscious but off the top of the dome no playlist on WDEZ just relax in the safest pair of soul clapping hands in the biz, he is a natural musician providing an array of accompaniment on the congas and as a host his voice was made for radio providing his own station ids backing vocals and echo chamber he also holds down the chat room keeping his global audience entertained with free inspiration and motivation it is truly an education , he got stories to rival quentin tarantino such an intersting guy he drops knowledge and science and history a true teacher. His Brothers story about a pork chop sandwich had me laughing and made me hungry at the same time lol
WELCOME TO DETROIT Part 2
But this is only the beginning Andres is also a producer who reps 313 so well aswell as being a peer to Dilla and a host of other Detroit producers like 14kt Houseshoes Wajeed and Moodyman check him on http://bling47.com talkin about Jay Dee. He also released records as Andres on the KDJ imprint as far back as 1997 where i first discovered his sound when i visited Hard to Find records where i would later work and discover mo about the D for real.
Dez often loops up his mpc on the fly especially in his bailout series where he just goes and goes regularly for four hours but some times for 8-10 hours yes thats right some people struggle doing an hour but he just vibes relentlessly. inviting amazing guests into his basement for added flavour , i saw Dj Sicari go in just before he flew out to japan that was some show wow.
So he busts his own tracks out live just vibin but he has also just started his own imprint the beautiful La Vida label encopasses the vibe you get from Dez just great music.
The man exudes Hip Hop thats why i listen but when he takes it to the slow jams and smooth selections catering more for the ladies you cant help but love it he drops Eric Roberson Dwele Monica Blaire and Amp Fiddler and Erykah Badu over Dila time signtures . I have given up trying to id his breaks and slow jams he has the sweetest sample collection so deep. He just motivates and inspires you to get more knowledge go dig records or get on the turntables or mpc and just do it you face your own records with renewed vigour after tuning into dez. when can you catch him? he streams very often and spontaneously DETROIT is where its at but you can catch him in europe this march he is playing Fabric with floating points on the 8th. photo below of Dez Andres and Sicari rockin the wheels for Dilla Day. As it is follow friday follow him on twitter yo and follow me too yo boombaseeds.WDEZ it's Worldwide Dawg. Splendid one. https://twitter.com/#!/DJDEZANDRES http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/dezandres https://twitter.com/#!/Alladats

Lovage - Strangers On A Train
My contribution to the Valentine's Day vibe.
It's positively dripping with sex.
VALENTINES SPECIAL - We don't have to take our clothes off....
To celebrate one of my oldskool bredbins, Duncan Valentine (off the Dragons Den thing on BBC) giving us an annual celebration of love, we've put together a few ballards and bangers to take away the taste of that vile pork dinner you've just cooked for the lady. Sit back, loosen the belt (yours, not hers) and enjoy....
For those that are one glass of wine from 'getting it on'
For those that only need a beat to rock with
For those with noone to love
For those that really don't want to love because they're scared of VD
For those that want to love but are genuinely scared of catching AIDS and are kind enough to spread the word of warning by way of song to the world
For those that are so in love they need to sing about it
For those that don't give it that much thought ;)
Enjoy you filthy animals, and remember if you can't be safe, be quick to escape! Happy Valentines Day!

I saved this lhis last dance for you, you have a pleasant bottom...
To honour St Valentine, this is for those with a glass of wine, a slightly too hot living room and some Oust in the bathroom, play this and tonight is your lucky night...
For the lovers, we're not sellouts, it's just one of the best adverts I've ever seen...
Two of my favourite hobbies, combined with one of my favourite songs, I'm sorry to post an advert but this was too good to pass up. Good work gentlemen!

You got to hold or give, but do it at the right time
A brief homage to Mr Capello, who I feel had priorities and aspirations higher than that of the archaic Football Assocation Boys Club. And to clarify, if Harry Redknapp does get the job, I'm supporting the German or the Dutch (whichever I can trace back to the family name).

Lets Go Yo
Every thursday Flo hosts his night at P.S.T He brings a special vibe and a unique flavour(crazy coconut) to birminghams nightlife the man they refer to as le pimpernel always delivers a special kind of atmosphere the music is always exciting and friendly, the link to robin don is tangible as Flo pays homage to his countryman by incorparating friendly fire productions and musicians from the band performing alongside him in his dj sets.
so i go for the music i stay for the people and if your belly get hungry the best chip butty inna the country is available pon request chips cooked in coconut oil are jus tastier me no know why.and cake for afters amazing, something Flo and i have in common is our passion for baking and music mixin and blendin both its fun to share so thats the scene wha happen den, well i turn up and just go with the flo, set up myself comfortably behind the decks upon the roof of our favourite nightclub, at 10:40 on the 2nd of february 2012 i press record, we had already played Linval Thompson Freddie Mcgregor King Tubby Luciano and of course some Bob Marley i drop Turbulence and the night begins.
Flo is a master selector and wastes no time taking you on a journey through reggae country african riddims dub and dubstep productions it is eclectic but seemless liquid in and out of the different genres whilst still repping local artist this is one of his deepest qualities.
so he leaves me with the perfect record to follow ive never heard it but its perfect it has everything that iam about he knows and waltzes off to take care of everything else my turn to select i do believe i have to begin with a unit classic from the man like robin don. this is my second time at Go with the flo and the first time i played i played the jah army riddim so i knew it was right to play it twice (Flo also plays a track twice) i played tanya stephens on newyears eve 2010/11 in the main room of pst so imix it outta mad professor and some people start to arrive and vibe with me, my intention is clear, warm and eazy e vibes is set to follow i try to make a soundsystem sing and the people dance juggling records and mp3s is a must in this century if i truly am gonna represent this country proper some exclusives are only on mp3 watch the mixin its basic but effective. iam the gatekeeper to a special kind of uk sound i been here since 19 long time
its Dilla month so i test the system with Jungle Love beat is so heavy rhyme so on point (its going well) i come with classic material you have never heard before we twist and push the envelope take you in and out your comfort zone the crowd is buildin still and as midnight approaches in walk the man like bongo damo long time friend and mentor i know what he wants to hear and iam the only dj with balls big enough to front this shit Brand fucking new music mixes with classics and its all fun lets move this thing to the nxt level the vibes were high the women wre there it was a most beautiful happening i have been making tastes since 1995 and its evident as the party heats up so does the tempo we now bubbling nicely ready for the big tune to drop the barrington levy remix is so hype i cant help but throw my hand in the air i love what i do, on to the wheel ups i pull a couple of tunes back to the top for the people dem job done i ease into the night with some of my favourite records and finish with my fave dilla joint . flo comes back on and the vibes flo to higher vibration the selections get deeper and nicer two o'clock comes too soon and you have to wait till next week when it will be even better than you remember one

Ron Trent. Not from Stoke on Trent.
The proletariat have seized the means of production. Music production, that is.
Any halfwit with a copy of Ableton, Cubase and Reason can bang together a semi respectable track these days. A myriad of sounds, instruments and, snyths, all at your fingertips. The options have never been more varied, the price never more accessible.
So why do tracks like this and other offerings from the late 80's/ early 90's wipe the floor with today's output? Nostalgia? A meandering walk down Memory Lane? Perhaps. But I wasn't attending raves under the M42. I was 10 when this badboy came out. I might have looked older than my age (something I exploited to the full a few years later) but I didn't look that old. I only discovered these gems a few years into my conversion to House music, circa 1995 onwards.
So what is it?
A Guy Called Gerald ( Mr Gerald Simpson to his postman) described his Roland TB-303 bass synthesiser and the TR-808 as a sort of time machine, the idea that the beat of the drum has performed a vital role in group and tribal gatherings since the year dot. He is merely the conduit, duplicating, repeating and harnessing this ancient power.
It's an interesting concept, but where do the bleeps come into it? After much deliberation, I am of the opinion that Ron Trent, Kevin Saunderson, Marshall Jefferson and all the other early pioneers were sent here from another planet. What else could reasonably explain the gulf in class? Those bleep sounds were merely a form of communication, the opening salvo in our integration into a wider cosmos. I accept that this moment of clarity might be heavily influenced by lack of sleep and spending way too much time on David Icke's website recently, but a world run by lizard people and aliens is -quite frankly- not as scary as a world with Sarah Palin, David Cameron and Nicolas Sar Co Zeee manning the controls.
Slightly to the left of usual posts, but a piece of art that deserves 3.52 minutes of your life
I'd like to be able to give you a story to this song, and how it sat so comfortably in many aspects of my life... but I can't. I can't remember the first time I heard it, I can't remember any conversation about it, I can't even really remembering anyone else talking about it or Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash. It somehow became an essential piece of my life, during good times, or bad, and stayed with me through. It will never lose any of the difficult pleasure that it portrays so well, even after 30million YouTube hits.
