Kay-Gees, The - Keep On Bumpin' & Masterplan - 15-Nov-07 04:41 AM
This debut album by the Kay-Gees contains several classic samples, including the "Who's the man with the masterplan?" that was used on YZ's "Thinking Of A Master Plan" and countless other hip hop records. The Kay-Gees were formed by Kevin Bell, the brother of one of the main Kool & The Gang members, Ronald Bell, who helped produce, arrange and sometimes write for the album [allmusic]. In addition, the band was signed to Kool & The Gang's Gang Records imprint.

One of the greatest tunes on this album is "Ain't No Time", of which part one I have been searching for for several years because it has been cut-up on an obscure Ken Swift mixtape called "Stronger Than Dirt". It has also been used to great effect as the hook in Theo Parrish's "Timeislafinacharunninout" track on the "Natural Aspirations (Vinyl Vers. Pt. 1)" 12". As Usual, I found it when I wasn't looking for it.

Electric Indian, The - Keem-O-Sabe - 14-Sep-07 06:17 AM
This is a rather hard to find LP by a one-album studio band that included many members of what later would become MFSB ('Mother Father Sister Brother'), another Philadelphia studio band which would be well known in the New York disco scene with tracks like 'Love Is The Message' and 'TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia)'. Keem-O-Sabe contains raw funk with a Native American touch (as some of the titles might indicate); "Grapevine" and especially "Rain Dance" are essential breakbeat tracks that were probably uses for cut-ups by the likes of Cool Herc and Afrika Bambaata (back when hip hop wasn't called that yet and DJ's extended the records by repeating the drum breakdown of funk songs), to be rediscovered by b-boy DJ's such as James Leacy later on.

First picked up the 'Tadley Management' EP about a year ago,
which includes the splendid tracks 'Red Shed' and 'Buxom Berceuse' (also featured on the Planet-Mu compilation 'Cosmic Forces of Mu'). Then, to my amazement found out that besides being 22 years old and already having produced a number of full-length records, the guy is Dutch! Since our crew organizes parties with electronic music in Holland, we immediately wanted to book him. We were more than happy to hear that his live-set is just as good as his recorded stuff: strong compositions consisting of original beats combined with nice, warm melodies. Pretty funny guy as well...
