Some Music History

Resident Advisor has a great feature up on DEMF up right now just in time for their 10th anniversary next weekend. You'll finally get an inside look at the festival from those who know it best. "Artists, promoters, city officials, journalists, more than 50 in all, presenting an oral history of Detroit's electronic music festival." A must read for all you music heads.

BBE Music's 5th compilation, "Get Down With The Philly Sound" compiled and mixed by Dimitri From Paris features the birth of disco in Philadelphia all nicely fit into a 2CD box set with a 6 panel digipack.

NOW for all your music history needs, I would suggest heading over to DJ History. Be sure to browse their Archives Section. My last read was a nice conversation with Guru & Run-DMC way back in 1993.

If your down for some more music traveling, Kon & Amir's 50 Greatest Hip Hop Samples is a nice look back at all the classics while finally the BBC IPlayer can supply you with an audio doc currently streaming a piece on James Brown.
