Part two is all about the soul. Three tracks sampled by the UT favourite J DIlla (and Common) .

Dionne Warwick - You're Gonna Need Me

Syreeta - Black Maybe

Jerry Butler - Just Because I Really Love You

Apologies Part 1

Neglecting my responsibilities over the past month, I'm now trying to make amends with a double post. As they say, they don't make them like they use to...

A Certain Ratio - Water Line

Geraldine Hunt - Can't Fake The Feeling

Parallels - Ultralight

Herbie Hancock Demonstrates his Fairlight CMI

Seriously, we've posted a few Sesame Street videos on Ugly Talented but this one just takes the piss.

Not only have we got futureshocker Herbie Hancock schooling the kids on a $20,000 sampler but he also plays out with an electro version of the show's theme tune.

Also look out for a young Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Aah, but that's not all folks, check out this video of Herbie showing off his toys to Quincy Jones.


Billy Paul - Let The Dollar Circulate

Conquistador - Fruit Loopy

Marvin Gaye - A Funky Space Reincarnation [Alternative Extended Mix]

Soul Train Willie

Willie Hutch on Soul Train doing 'Slick' from 1973. Awesome footage of the main man responsible for the soundtracks for 'The Mack' and 'Foxy Brown' - early seventies blaxploitation in all it's pomp. 'Brother's Gonna Work It Out' available below...

Willie Hutch - Brother's Gonna Work It Out

Weldon Irvine - We Gettin' Down

Bumblebee Unlimited - Funk For Days (Underdog Edit)

Youtube?

Given the huge post courtesy of 'Another Night on Earth' this is a rather understated return to the blog. I really struggled to find a decent YouTube video for the tracks below. That's a first...

Ahzz - New York Moving

James White and the Blacks - Contort Yourself

Pieces of Peace - I Still Care

Ugly Talented Mix Series: No.3 - Another Night On Earth

Once again we are honoured to present an amazing mix from our friends electric. This time we present a mix from the foremost mp3 blog in the Southern Hemisphere, Another Night On Earth.

Chris Keyz, who runs this fine blog, will need no introduction to many of you as his blog reaches far and wide - but this isn't just down to Chris being one of the nicest blokes out there, no Sir. It is basically due to his high musical standards and impeccable eye (as can be seen in his choice of picture for his Hot R.S - Slow Blow post from a few weeks back).

There's plenty in the pipeline from Chris to look out for but in the meantime make sure to check out his Press Play series of mixes as well as more of his own mixes which you can find strewn across cyberspace if you know where to look. For this mix Chris gives us an insight into his love of midtempo groovers mixing new releases with some firm favourites thrown in for good measure.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Chris Keyz...
