2 DJs & An Angel…

Couple a friendly reminder with an unfortunately meaningful day, and you end up getting gold.
Instead of making you dig back some months for Benzi’s summer theme-track, Get Right Radio Summer 09, here’s an oh-so-appropriate Skratch Bastid-assisted blend of Aaliyah’s “Rock The Boat” over the ideal “Summertime” anthem from a pre-Scientology Fresh Prince.
If you’re reading/listening to this while sun-soaking poolside, I hate you.

Aaliyah Revisited – A 2009 Tribute EP

Eight years to the day after the tragic passing of Aaliyah Dana Haughton, the original princess of R&B, ten of today’s progressively soulful artists have recorded interpretations of their favourite Aaliyah songs for Aaliyah Revisited – a 2009 tribute EP internationally curated by urban-music-and-culture online magazine SoulCulture.
Producer Colin Emmanuel of Black Einstein, who has worked with the esteemed likes of Eric Roberson, De La Soul, Beenie Man, KRS-One and Beverley Knight, enthuses, “I was – and am – a huge Aaliyah fan. She is one of my all time favourite female artists… whose output holds a very special place in my musical makeup… I rate her as a vocalist, not because she had an amazing voice, but because she knew exactly how to use her voice to the best results. Sometimes in the studio we’ll say ‘it needs an Aaliyah harmony.’ A very classy act; she was able to be sexy without having to put everything out there like most of today’s acts.”
