  Unsplash We’re going back to the future, enjoy this exclusive time machine trip! 😊 I really like Save Your Tears , the new single from The Weeknd. The video is exploding on YouTube, because of its controversial content. Did he have plastic sugery or is his blown up face fake? After being recovered from Hodgkin's disease, singer Martin Fry reformed his band ABC as a duo in the second half of the 1980s. They were back on track in the summer of 1987,  when they released When Smokey Sings . The song was a major success on the charts, reaching number 5 in the U.S. and number 11 in the U.K and the Netherlands. Their tribute to Motown legend Smokey Robinson would become their biggest hit ever.

Picture by FreeFoto.com It’s time to ease things down a little bit. This is my follow-up for ' Slow & Easy Grooves part 1 ' that came online a few weeks ago (24th of November). One of the highlights in the mix is Roger (Troutman). He became well-known for singing through his talking-box (which gave him a robot or vocoder sound). He was co-founder of the legendary eighties funk band Zapp, together with his brothers Larry and Terry. They were an inspiration for many hiphop acts. Roger can be heard on ‘California love’ from 2Pac, for instance. During an argument about money Larry killed his brother Roger on the 25th of April 1999, before he aimed the gun at himself. Hall & Oates were a rock-soul duo and highly successful from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s. ‘Kiss on my list’ is one of their best pop singles. Tracklisting: Carmen McRae – How Long Has This Been Going On? [MJ Cole Remix] (2002) Chromeo – I Can’t Tell You Why [Eddy’s Edit] (2009) Kristinia DeBar...

Picture by FreeFoto.com Strangely enough the inspiration for this mix came when I saw Wilson Pickett singing ‘In the midnight hour’ in a very good documentary, called ‘ History of rock ‘n’ roll ’. It remembered me of the slicker Roxy Music version. Although I like the raw voice of Wilson Pickett, the song is more about seducing when Bryan Ferry sings the lyrics. I’m a big fan of his introvert, sophisticated funk. Soul singer Maxwell once said that Bryan Ferry was his biggest influence. It took me almost a year to complete this mix. Only after listening to a set of Japanese dj Daizi I found the right mood to finish it off. So enjoy these midnight grooves! Track listing: Roxy Music – In The Midnight Hour (1980) Zapp & Roger – Slow And Easy (1993) Linn Segolson – Troubled Times (2005) Barbara Lynn – Nice And Easy (1971) Valerie Simpson – Keep It Coming (1972) New Birth – Never Can Say Goodbye (1971) J.
