It’s been a long time coming – it surfaced very early 2010 – but the past few months there hasn’t been a single music interested person I’ve met who hasn’t been totally gaga for neo-soul sensation Aloe Blacc and his lovely lead theme to HBO hit How To Make It In America, ”I need a dollar”. And rightfully so. He evokes the likes of Bobby Womack and Bill Withers with his blend of soul, jazz, r’n'b and whatnot, and deserves all the attention and acclaim he can get. Most recently for his spanking new album, “Good things”.

Here’s “I need a dollar” in what most be the most unexpected blend this year. German fave and upcoming star Marco Niemerski, more known as Tensnake, has given it the onceover and turned it into a loungy progressive chill out trip. The jury’s still out, but I really like both Blacc and Tensnake, so I suppose I like this as well. Even if I’d chose the original any day.

Dutch Rhythm Combo – Cartagenera (Ray Mang Remix) [Audio Porn FM]

Ok, so you're tired of the autumn winds & rains, the impending winter, the christmas stress, the turkey leftovers you'll have for ages to come. I most certainly know I am. And I'm doing something about it. I'm off skiing for a while. But I'm leaving you with this gorgeous little memento of better days – and a reminder that the sun will shine soon enough and we'll be sipping caipirinhas together in the shade once more.

Felix Haksmans very exciting Dutch Rhythm Combo got all it takes for those warm, lazy, sunkissed days. And you'd be a fool not to listen to it and be swept away to another time, another place – and an entirely different vibe – with his/their lovely, suave "Cartagenera". Ay, que rico!

Ok, I'm off. Check out the tune after the jump. Have a lovely Christmas – and a Happy New Year! Cat you guys later.
