I’ve just browsed through some nice music on a Sunday evening in April… It resulted in a mix between cool jazzy, Latin, Balkan and Bollywood tunes, I hope.

One of my all-time favourites is the track I Love My Baby by the United Future Organization, here in a Norman Cook & Ashley Slater remix. The track got a new reverence by the The Jivers on the Jazz & Milk-Compilation Jazz & Milk Breaks Vol. 3.

Recently, I listened to the remix compilation I Like It Like That of Fania Latin classics in more detail. I already had put the remix of La Lupe’s interpretation of Fever into my 2009 review. Now I discovered another track on that compilation: Ray Barretto’s O Elefante in the SSH remix is really cool!

Miss Platnum’s If You Were Mine was also already in my 2009 review. She used a sample of a cool Bollywood tune which is on the Bombay Connection compilation Bombshell – Baby of Bombay: Kahan Hai Woh Diwana.

Apropos cover versions: Listening to the Balkan track of Fanfare Ciocarlia, I remembered Cake’s interpretation of Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps. Then another one, perhaps? – Okay, the version of Sunray… Finally I digged out an older track from Fatboy Slim and one from Moby.

Here the links for a listening @ Mixcloud:
