8 years ago Carnivalism threw its first Notting Hill Carnival after party.
2002, amongst many, the year of Tim Deluxe’s Just won’t do, X-Press 2 and David Byrne’s Lazy. This month’s podcast features both Matt & Dom in a back to back special. 3 songs on, 3 songs off – guess who played what?
Glory Glory
There is nothing quite like a gospel house belter and in 1994 CeCe Rogers did just that, singing for Jestofunk on Club Tools. Kenneth Rogers III was nicknamed CC by James Brown after seeing him impersonating Chubby Checker at the tender age of 11.
No Ears
Rocket’s People featured on Carnivalism’s very first compilation back in 2002 which you can still get hold of here. Back in the day when when cds were more common than downloads. This No Ears version by Rob Mello was on the single’s B-side.
Just an Ordinary Day for Dennis
New Jersey based Dennis Ferrer is playing here in possibly one of my most favourite situations, outside, in the sun, behind a bar at Kalua Porto Rafti. Old mukkas with Kerri Chandler who (it could be said) introduced Dennis to the world of music production, Ferrer’s first release dated 1998 Collaborating with Greg Smith on I Need your Love.
So, enjoy the mix, happy birthday to us and see you at Carnival!
