Late Pass #88: Armand Van Helden – Flowerz Feat. Roland Clark
Released in 1999, this track appeared on a mix by J Finesse recorded onto cassette and served as my introduction to house music. I could honestly say that I had never heard anything like this before and was immediately intrigued. With it’s looped Donald Byrd sample, sensitive lyrics and Roland’s falsetto this one has been a favorite for over a decade. Enjoy!
Late Pass#87: Amp Fiddler – I Believe in You (Sly & Robbie Mix)
I remember when Birmingham producer/singer/emcee Supreme went to his hometown Detroit and returned with an unmastered disc of tunes, some of which he helped produce
Late Pass #86: Maxwell – Seguranca
Maxwell dropped this on the AIDS benefit compilation, Red Hot + Rio in 1996, the same year UrbanHangSuite was released after being shelved for 2 years. I was reminded of this when I was preparing tracks for my Bossa mix (download) but didn’t use it because it was slower than everything else. This track may have slipped by many of you so here’s your late pass. Enjoy!
Late Pass #85: Down to the Bone – Electric Vibes feat. Roy Ayers (DJ Spinna Remix)
2007 Down to the Bone with Roy Ayers remixed by DJ Spinna for you to get your soulful house on. SuperCharged is the name of the album it appears on, and appropriately fits the feel of this super dope Spinna remix. Enjoy!

While preparing out latest Love Letter I ran across this remix of one of my favorite Incognito tunes remixed by Spacek. This remix appears on Incognito’s Future

Aw naw! As I was compiling gems for my A Tribe Called Quest tribute set tonight, I uncovered this 1999 Phife Dawg release. This jazzy Jay
Late Pass #81: Dudley Perkins – Flowers (prod by Madlib)
I remember when this dropped on 45 back in ’02! I thought this was the most beautiful song ever and couldn’t believe Madlib produced it
Late Pass #80: MJ Cole – Perfect Pitch feat Jill Scott
I’ve always loved to hear Jill Scott rock over the more uptempo joints, something she doesnt do frequently. Here’s a 2003 collaboration that finds her
Late Pass #79: Phonte – Apologies
We all knew Phonte was dope after we first heard the Litte Brother’s The Listening. The brother didn’t stop there and has continued on to show us that no matter who his posse is, or what technique he uses to rock the mic, he is one of this generation’s finest. How long has he been nice though? Peep this pre-The Listening gem, of which there are countless others and judge for yourself!
