Hump Night is back in the building. I could kind of feel myself getting in a rut with Hump Night, relying heavily on dance/electro/disco/etc. so this edition is made solely of tracks from outside that spectrum. Also, it shows that I do still listen to rap (something I had become less sure these days). Anyway, it should make a nice soundtrack for the end of your summer. Enjoy!

Dollar bin treasures
Like any good record nerd, one of my greater pleasures is the alchemical conversion of dollar bin records into digital gold. Here's the cream of my latest excursion:
Sheila Hylton - The Bed's Too Big Without You
Sly & Robbie (aka the greatest rhythm duo of all time) provide the foundation for this incredible cover. If all Police songs had this kind of groove, I would be a much, much bigger fan.
Eurhythmics - Paint A Rumour (Jellybean Mix)
From an import comp of mixes by dance pioneers Francois K & Jellybean, this song fits in perfectly with the space-italo-disco that's all the rage in certain circles. Like mine.
Bran Van 3000 feat. Curtis Mayfield - Astounded (Demon Remix)
In perhaps my most favorite bizarre dollar bin find, BV3K of "Drinking in LA" fame apparently put out a second album that never made it to the US, but which included a previously unreleased Curtis Mayfield vocal track; this filter-house mix from the 12" single edits the lyrics to create the perfectly devastating couplet: I just want to love you/I just want to cry.

Every day is a new chance
Delayed by technical issues (damn you overheating laptop!) & maybe just a touch of apathy, here is a new Hump Night for all y'all. Not as much about the dance-y dance-y, this mix is made more for late night trekking or those hazy moments after the dance-y dance-y. In other words, lots of crazy synth sounds and wordless vocals, ya dig?
