Still having problems updating the site... I think some spyware may have infected my LSP Stack.
Ouch!
(No, I have no idea what that means either. Or how to fix it.)
Fortunately I have a few tracks already loaded onto the server, which will hopefully keep me going 'til I can sort the problem out.
Among them is another BOMB from Kenny Dixon Jr.
This track is apparently called J.A.N. (Just Another Niggah), released in 2002 on his own KDJ label. The record itself is a one-sided affair with no writing on the label and not even anything written in the millimetre thick run-out grooves. All the info I know (like the title for instance!) is from discogs.
As it says there, the interviewer sampled on the track is Detroit's infamous Electrifyin' Mojo, and is apparently taken from an interview with Prince. Electrifyin' Mojo has been credited with being a huge influence on Detroit Techno & House by championing European synth music on his radio show.
"Techno's roots in Detroit date back to a black FM DJ named Charles Johnson-better known by his on-air name, the Electrifying Mojo. From 1977 into the mid-'80s, Mojo practiced a philosophy he calls "counter-clockwiseology": ignoring the strict racial formatting that afflicted the local airwaves. "When I first got to Detroit, it was like apartheid on the dial," Mojo recalls, "separatist radio." A typical evening's session of Mojo's genre-defying Midnight Funk Association ranged from Parliament's "Flash Light" to Visage's "Frequency 7," plus anything and everything by Prince. Most important, when the German electronic group Kraftwerk's Computer World came out in 1981, Mojo played virtually the entire album every night, making a lasting impact on impressionable young listeners like Juan Atkins. "
Sweet.
