Micahel Jackson: Thriller

The day wouldn't be complete without the official full length "Thriller" video from Michael Jackson and cast. Happy Halloween! [insert Vincent Price maniacal laugh]

Quadron: Avalanche

Danish duo Quadron, consisting of singer Coco O and musician/producer Robin Hannibal, have released their breathtaking sophomore album titled Avalanche. Mistakenly, I thought the album was due in August, but now seeing that it dropped stateside on June 4th. As a DJ, I constantly go against the grain and don't always go for the single releases on an album. Instead, I went with the track that stood out to me the most. "Sea Salt" is like a cool glass of lemonade on a hot sunny day. Within the first eight bars of the song, I imagined myself back on the beach taking a stroll on the seawall. What perfect timing for a song like this as the sun sets and we head into the night. Enjoy!

Michael Jackson: Remember The Time (Louis La Roche Remix)

Today is the day we pay our respects in remembering Michael Jackson, who passed away on this day four years ago. With this fantastic remix of "Remember The Time" by Louis La Roche, this is an excellent way to celebrate the life and legacy of the King of Pop. Oh yeah. It's a free download folks!

R.I.P. Teena Marie

Singer Teena Marie, the "Ivory Queen of Soul", also known as Lady T, passed away today in her California home from an unspecified cause. She was found unresponsive by daughter Alia Rose. Marie was a protégée of funk artist Rick James, and she was also a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer.

Personally, i'm pretty saddened by the news of the loss of another great in music. I saw her performing live years ago and to see her play the bass guitar like a true master. I will miss her voice, presence and skill as an artist.
