Spanky!

Hello boys 'n girls!

It's been once again an eternity since i have written here for the last time, and i trully feel ashamed about it.
For this one i'd like to go a short month back in time, when Mr Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodyman came to Milan for a stupendous dj set at the club Plastic. Although the big crowd of Detroit fans one could have expected didn't show up, the happy fews present that night have still enjoyed a precious mix by the Man, who combined tasty early house tracks and disco tunes in a very refined and oldschool way. We also could hear one of his most famous tracks, "Shades of Jae", hypnotical soulful release from '99 on his KDJ label.
And here, i get to the point: today's post is about the original tune "Shades of Jae" was built from and although Moodyman is famous for including samples of Prince in all his musical pieces, the original sample this time had nothing to do with the purple midget from Mineapolis. Instead he ripped an old
Bob James track off, called "Spunky", that I have the pleasure to have dug out and propose to you here in a comfy and PC friendly mp3 format.
The keys loop is purely killer, and still drives me crazy after all these years. And i hope you'll enjoy the original as well!
A bon entendeur, salut....!
