luv431 Ninjacise Don't Forget To Breathe

Ninjacise… Don’t Forget To Breathe

25 years ago i started working for a record label called Ninja Tune. i realized this because of all the 25th anniversary posts for Coldcut’s Let Us Play album, which was the first release i worked. my 12 years there were an amazing experience. the music, artists and Ninja Tune family i toiled with hold a special place in my heart. so i pay tribute with this older mixtape made in 2003, half way through my tenure at the label, for the radio show Plaisirs Synthétiques on CISM in Montreal. knowing the hosts were big fans of the label i played them an all Ninja Tune set with some choice deep cuts and newer goodies. originally in two parts the more upbeat front end (Ninjacise…) is expertly spliced together with a more relaxed second set (Don’t Forget To Breathe). beats ‘n’ pieces for the little Ninja inside all of us.

an aural glimpse into that formative moment in jazz, spanning the end of the 50s through to the beginning of the 60s, known as hard bop. sounds were changing. bop was changing. jazz was changing. times were changing. nothing wrong with that when it yields such fine results.

in the late sixties and early seventies the drinking water in Europe started to show traces of the funk. initially showing up in major urban centers it slowly spread all over the continent. by the late seventies funk was rampant and the long term affects are still being felt today. here are a few examples of what happened to the music coming out of Europe after the contagion of funk first started creeping in. fortunately, there was no turning back.
