It’s that time again when we deliver some classic musical magic. Today is the day to remember a UK garage CLASSIC track. UKG used to rule the club scene and this songs was heavily in the mix, even to this days when it is played along with some other signature UKG tracks I go off in the club. Sorry I dance like there’s no one around, when i’ve got a lil juice in my system and a good tune playing then thats me for the night. Now I have deliberately not stated what track awaits you on the flipside to build the suspense lol but build no more. The track that I have selected for your enjoyment is Love Bug by Ramsey & Fen featuring Lynsey Moore.

Brandy is one artist that I feel is so underrated. Her vocals are always on point and when she sings live you sometimes have to question whether she is miming or not because she sings that good. I was reading an article on another blog the other day and it had a quote from singer/songwriter/producer Sean Garrett stating that her new single will be very commercial and should be released to radio before Christmas. So it seems exciting times are on their way if you’re a Brandy fan but for those who loved and still love her older material I have selected a track from her back catalogue that i’m sure will please all. Peep the song after the cut. P.S I previously dedicated a Throwback Thursday post to Brandy where I showcased a number of her tracks, see here.

Whilst doing my crazy 13 hour shift yesterday this song from Nivea popped into my head and just wouldn’t leave. All day I was singing and humming it, at one stage I even started dancing as if it was playing through speakers suffice to say it wasn’t. ‘Don’t Mess With My Man’ put Nivea on the map but unfortunately her subsequent releases didn’t grab audiences attention like this song did and so she soon fell of this theoretic map. For those who don’t know she has an album called Complicated which I believe was only released in Japan, if you don’t have this album then I suggest you go get it because it’s kinda dope. Anywho peep the old joint if wish!

This week’s throwback is dedicated to the late Aaliyah, this isn’t a tribute as such but this week I’ve listened to her more than usual. There are plenty of great Aaliyah tracks but I have picked I Care 4 U- a true break up song as described by one of my friends. Whilst I think it’s a really depressing track, I like it best for her smooth vocals and Timbaland‘s once amazing production; the tune is R&B at it’s best- so chilled and relaxed making it a great one for easy listening. Listen to the track after the break.

It was brought to the publics attention yesterday that legendary rapper Heavy D had passed away at the very young age of 44. Following this unfortunate news I feel that it would be fitting to dedicate this weeks Throwback Thursday to him. Heavy D was a rapper from the good old days where rap and urban music in general seemed to be filled with more passion and authenticity compared to some of the junk that is released these days. Let’s all take a step back into the 90′s and rock our heads to the sounds of Mr Heave D.

For this week’s throwback song I’ve gone for something a little more close to home, it’s funny because so many people didn’t even know it was a real song until they hear it at a club or wherever! MTV Base used it with their ident just before their commercial breaks and all you would hear was Smujji singing “ooooouu”, not ringing any bells!? The song is called ‘Must Be Love’ and it’s by FYA and Smujji, a dancehall track which was released in 2004- the official music video is nowhere to be found on youtube but I managed to find it on another site. It’s a little slow so I’ve also embedded the unofficial one I found on youtube. Enjoy

This week’s throwback track is slightly different, quite a popular pop/rock song from the 80s with an iconic video that has inspired many artists. If you’re thinking one man with a microphone leading a band consisting of all female high fashion models then you’re right, it’s Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer. An 80′s classic, it’s been performed by many artists since debut and even Tina Turner recorded her own version which is also good but they say nothing beats the original. It’s one of my favourite songs, I wish they made music like this today because I’m really about 60. Enjoy the track after the break.
