Nuclear Beef

Jazzy Uptempo Breakbeat Audio Beef Today. DJ Romanowski knows what he's gonna do.. he's gonna move!

'Days and Daze' by DJ Romanowski from his 2005 album Party In My Pants on Future Primitive Sound

It's Wednesday, so here's a little slice of jazzy niceness to get you through your Hump Day at work or wherever you are. San Francisco's DJ Romanowski chops and pastes a jazz track and flips it into an uptempo dance floor rocker. He flips a beautiful vocal sample and verily squeezes every last drop of soul from it. I'm pretty sure that he got an actual trumpeteer to play on this track, otherwise this is one of the most impressive samplings of a horn lead that I've ever heard.

(Those who know my musical taste will find even more impressive is that this track is seven minutes long and I still like it. I have Music Attention Deficit Disorder (MADD) so that's pretty damn extraordinary!)

Romanowski instantly establishes the mood, but doesn't pull out all of the stops until the almost-ska bounce breaks free at the three minute mark! After things get rolling, the trumpet lead frolics and bounces your troubles away. Simply Lovely.

This album is due out in early January, though it was originally scheduled for a 2004 release. Romanowski's page seems broken, as does Future Primitive Sound's page. If they can't even get their websites working, it's no wonder they can't get this dope album out the door. Get it together, guys!

(And yes, I know that Scissorkick and Fluxblog posted tracks from this album a few months back... but they didn't post this one!

Extra special haterade shoutouts to the dipshit calling himself Ataturk in the comments to my recent Dr. Kinsey Post. Just so you know, I'm going to keep on doing my thing... and you can keep on being an ignorant hateful fuck. See how easy it is to tolerate people who you dislike, dumbass? MWAH.)
