James Brown - Rest In Peace

James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.

Copsidas said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said.

We'll publish a tribute mix later today in memory of our Papa James.

"Loïk Dury est l'ancien programmateur musical de Radio Nova. Pendant des années, il a été l'un des plus importants défricheurs de nouveaux sons, mais aussi de raretés, d'orfèvreries musicales tous azimuts. Accompagné par Djouls, disc-jockey lui aussi, il tient désormais un blog, agrémenté d'un podcast, pour se tenir au courant des meilleures productions de musique soul, au sens le plus large. Toutes les semaines, on récupère gratuitement des morceaux introuvables ou presque, avec un seul mot d'ordre: télécharger fait du bien à la musique! | M.M. || www.parisdjs.com"

MP3 - Paris DJs

"Les fondus de musique ont un terme pour qualifier la manie qui consiste à fouiller pendant des heures un magasin de disques ou un site Internet à la recherche de perles rares: le "record digging". Les animateurs du site Paris DJs, qui en sont de grands adeptes, font généreusement profiter les internautes de leurs trouvailles avec un podcast mensuel et thématique d'une trentaine de minutes. Electro-funk, afro-beat, soul sixties... A chaque fois un nouveau micro-pan de l'histoire de la musique est ainsi balayé. Une bonne occasion d'enrichir sa culture musicale et son lecteur mp3. T.B."

Temperature is HOT in Paris this summer, but we keep it COOL with a brand new Paris DJs website, adding a second Paris DJs podcast for your mp3 player, with exclusive 'VIRTUAL RELEASES'!

Reggae meets Funk
Our first single is an unreleased remix of George Clinton's "U Ain't Runnin Shit" from his latest album "How Late Do U Have 2b B4 Ur Absent", carefully skanked by Grant Phabao into a sunshine piece of psycadelicreggaesoulthang.
The track has been fully approved by the Dr. Funkenstein himself who visited us while in Paris for a supa-show at Le Zenith, along with Steel Pulse & The Gladiators!

Special P-Funk
While working on new tracks at Kraked Records, Papa George graced us with some jingles, ranting about Paris DJs being the real thing. You might find bits and pieces of that in the new 30 mn party-style P-Funk action mix from Loik, "P Is The One"...
