Chapeau to all the lads who make us say ‘Vive Le Tour!’

During a normal year, all of the big clubs in Ibiza would be holding their closing parties this month. Although I have been to Ibiza three times, I never went to any of the nightclubs. I did, however, spend lots of time on Sunset Strip in San Antoni. My favourite spot on the strip is Café Del Mar, which has now been open for 40 years! If I was ever given the chance to DJ on Sunset Strip, my set might sound a little something like this…

This week’s playlist features two guys making modern music that sounds like two guys making Disco music in the 70’s. TFIF!

After a long, tough week, TFIF…

Hip Hop began as a musical culture in New York in the early 1970’s, when DJs played Disco, Funk and Soul records at block parties. They quickly realized the best part of the songs being played were the breaks, so they started using multiple turntables and techniques like mixing and scratching to extend the breaks. Next, MCs were introduced to excite the crowds by rhyming and boasting over the music, which evolved into rapping.

Fast forward to the late 70’s and early 80’s. Artists began to blend Hip Hop culture with Disco music and created a flurry of amazing records that brought Hip Hop into the mainstream and popular music charts. The week’s list includes some of my favorite tunes from that period of time.

After a short break, TFIF is back. This Sunday will be two years since The ‘Queen Of Soul’ passed away. This one is for you Aretha…

Since Tuesday was Bastille Day, this week’s playlist includes a few tunes from the French Touch thing back in the early 2000s. Vive Le Funk!

This week’s TFIF playlist gives a few shout outs to the States, since it’s the Fourth Of July tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

This one’s for the Dads. Have a great weekend.
