Mista Shifta – Ca$h Money & Rayko mix
I heard this via a new mix from Rayko which came in randomly as I was listening to Late Nite Tuff Guy’s latest re-edit (all about the disco/funk edits recently, mostly because of a mix I’m working on – TBA!)…it’s an excellent rework of The O’Jays ‘For the Love of Money’ in what’s described as…

Wuvable Oaf

Back In The Old School
Say this over at NileRodgers.com – yeah another new/old/not sure (?) Chic song. Something slightly spooky about those babies, although love the moves….they ARE Old School B-Boy Babies (just hit me, literal video is literal). Pretty sure this track wasn’t played at the Roundhouse gig though…unless my memory fails me. And ‘I’ll Be There’, which…
