Sura

I know I haven't posted anything is what seems like forever but I have been in some deep dark places recently. As I did my best to find the light I had music like this to be my soundtrack. This piece is entitled Sura by Ben Lukas Boysen aka Hecq. Now upon first listen you may think "ahhhh techno, I hate techno" and dismiss it but you'd be doing yourself a disservice. This is piece has nothing at all to do with techno.

Hecq's music is raw and uncompromising, it's unrelenting. It's heavy and comprised more of manipulated sounds than actual instrumentation. It's inventive, provocative, and all in your face not asking to be liked and daring you to categorize it. This tune in particular, off of his 2010 EP release of the same name is one that ONLY belongs on the big boy speakers but be warned, when the bass kicks in you might be getting a knock on your front door by either your neighbors or the police.

I might also suggest steeltongued off of his 2009 release of the same name and the Trifonic remix of With Angels off of his 2011 release Avenger.

All I

I'm going to say something that may shock some of you. I'm not a really big fan of Jill Scott. I know, I know! How on earth can that be since she's just so talented. It's not something I can firmly put a finger on but there it is. She has quite a library of songs and the majority of them don't move or touch me but she has crafted some songs that I love and enjoy. One of them happens to be the song All I off of her 2009 release The Real Thing - Words & Sounds, Vol.3. This is smooth baby making music, the Jill Scott version.

It starts off with some real smooth keys playing in the background over the bass kick and Jill telling someone not to be scared. She wants to know if the person likes her this way, a way she's never been seen in before. She starts off with the lyrics I've been a goodie daddy / But I don't have to be / If you don't want me too / I'll be your nasty baby. She's got no time for games, no rules, just play and that basically let's you know what she's talking about and how she's feeling. Just in case you weren't sure she adds It's just all the things I see when you're inside of me for good measure.

It's really difficult to not like this song even if Jill sounds like she's out of her element on this x-rated joint. The melodies and harmonies are so catchy and tasty and the line tease me, please me, spank me, feed me, you know what I need baby is definitely hard to resist no matter who sings it. Enjoy!
