Jason's Flashback Friday track In Every Way by Reverie just kicked things off for today. Gilles is impeccable with his music selection.. hands down. Best music selector on the planet.

So trying to continue in that same vein - I know Gilles is a big fan of Vikter.  I used to not be.  Now? Well... let's just say I've matured a little  with my music appreciation capabilities and I am now able to separate the "asshole" artist behavior from his/her art. The end product and its ability to stir up emotions in me and not what emotions stirred the artist to create it is far more valuable and important in my eyes.

With that...here's some 2-stepish, broken beat joint from the Vikter. It's got a beat that's a wee bit nasty/dirty - that punchy rhythm. But yknow... a nice girl needs that kind of punch every once in a while. But I wouldn't take it there. :)

Enjoy.

i think everything that gilles peterson does is pretty much incredible... so i found this track via his annual all winners chart. i pretty much follow everything he mentions - he's got impeccable taste. anyway, this remix of mos def's umi says is done by no other than zero 7. a very wise and fantastic pick, mr. peterson.

again, i'd like to believe this track was made just for me. 

i told jason the other day that i am going to start believing that certain tracks were produced with me in mind -  much like the nicolay remix of jill scott's golden, i am throwing this mos track via zero 7 in that pile.

yeah, i know that sounds a bit juvenile, but when it comes music - i am quite the egoist.

i am totally kidding.

well, hmm... not really.
