Willie Mitchel Passed Away Soul music lost a great legend on January 5th. Willie Mitchell was responsible for the music of Al Green and the entire sound of Memphis based record label Hi-Records. Poppa Willie passed away at age 81 and leaves a tremendous catalog of classics behind. Dutch music collector Djef, who manages the Originals section at online jukebox 22tracks, selected 22 gems as an ode to him and his legacy.

Mitchell produced sparkling jewels like Al Green's Let's Stay Together and diamonds in the rough such as Could I Be Falling In Love by the more obscure Syl Johnson. Rather than having a hard time keeping up with the pace of music, the distinguished sound he once wrote the blueprint for remains timeless. Do You Feel Me by Anthony Hamilton, produced by The Bomb Squad's Hank Shocklee and arranged by Willie Mitchell is a perfect example of how the sound of Hi-Records is still very much sought-after in today's music.

steve arrington.jpg Former Slave frontman Steve Arrington is working on a new Album. He teamed up with Stones Throw Records and Dam-Funk, and for this new FUNK album coming out in 2011.

Below is an advance mp3 of "I Be Trippin," a track that will be on his (yet unnamed) album. This track was just released in September, on a sampler by Stones Throw entitled "Clouds Over The Pacific,".  "I Be Trippin" will soon be released as a 12" on a vinyl. This sound is promising. Here's the first taste.

This afternoon I added around 1200 tracks in the database. Tracks from albums like Brass Construction, Brick, Chic, Mutiny, Chas, Delegation, Dayton, Cheryl Lynn, Starpoint and many more. I also upped about 30 samples.
