Time for some talk of an all time Chicago house legend, he's soulful, he's jackin, he's out of control and producing purely to get your body poppin. We are talking about the man himself CAJMERE!!!!, aka Green Velvet. now I've recently come across this track - "funkdified" Released on Cajual Records
I have been struggling to find the above anywhere for so long until now, stupidly i did not look on Traxsource where it was available to buy here the whole time. But in my mission to get my hands on a clean 320kbs copy of this hands down, bound to make you dance tune with a re-beated, re rubbed, remix (what ever you want to call it) of a James Brown sample combined with funky saxophone licks, i have discovered that this man is one of the most forward-thinking producers in dance music. Through Cajual and Relief Records he almost single-handedly ushered in the Second Wave of Chicago House Music in the 1990s.
By the way the change at 2:18 in the above track is sooooooooooo good makes me wanna scream out FUNKY like james brown. Then at 3.22 ...... that sax makes you melt
So what i wanna do here is share some of my old time favourites from cajmere that we have all heard and possibly even spun in the club before, drop an interview which i think you may all find an interesting listen and a video of Cajmere doing his thing with a bunch of kids on a basketball court that can all bloody dance to his re-worked version of Perculator.
I dont think i have seen a track with as many reworks or remixes as perculator. When this was released in 2010 it went big and still kicking with Jamie Jones putting in his 2 cents most recently!!
Interview with Curtis Jones (Cajmere)
