It starts of with a nice instrumental jazzy vibe and moves in electronic dub, some deep & minimal techno, ambient & psychedlic. Just tried to keep the dub influence there so bring up the bass a notch or two! mp3 108mb - 224 Kbps VBR - ~85mins  Tracks: Otautahi Allstars - Shot Unification - Guru Dreadlock Tales - Herbivore Dub 1 Dreadzone - Once Upon A Time Salmonella Dub - Slide Easy Star All-Stars - Any Colour You Like Studio - Life's A Beach Salmonella Dub - Problems OTT - Load Up At Nunnie Catch Dreadlock Tales - Medubtative Roots Manuva - Witness Dub Swayzak - Illegal Black Devil Disco Club - I Regret The Flower Power (Fragments Of Fear Version With Quiet Village) Groove Armada - The Incredible Bongo Man Trentemøller - Take Me Into Your Skin Aes Dana - Opalin zshare <a href="http://www.zshare.net/download/612826395c27120e/#" target="_blank" title="Mantekka">DOWNLOAD HERE</a> rapidshare <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/245920950/Mantekka_-_Dub.Techno.Mix.mp3" target="_blank" title="Mantekka">DOWNLOAD HERE</a>    Media - Music 2009-06-12T04:44:11Z mantekka Younger Brother - The Last Days Of Gravity [2007] http://mantekka-music.blogireland.ie/post/153/1563  <img src="http://www.plong.com/MusicCatalog%5CY%5CYounger%20Brother%20-%20The%20Last%20Days%20Of%20Gravity%5CYounger%20Brother%20-%20The%20Last%20Days%20Of%20Gravity.jpg" alt="Younger Brother Last Days of Gravity" width="300" height="300" />   1.

Psychic Gibbon  Created by the psychedelic trance pioneer Simon Posford and Benji Vaughn... ... the mastermind behind Prometheus and The Egg. The pair team up once again to create their second album, a breathtaking album with stunning sound production, that takes listeners on an incredibly varied musical journey. 'The Last Days Of Gravity' is a unique melee of electronic, acoustic, and vocal music, running the gamut of beautiful, strange, catchy, psychedelic, melancholic, uplifting. Despite its consistently psychedelic tone, the album has a very human element to it, and you can sense the spirit and emotion that have gone into its creation. The harmonic variety of 'Last Days' is particularly mesmerising. The bindingly riveting melodic lines provide echoes of Posford's earlier work in Shpongle and Celtic Cross, as well as of his more recent collaboration with the legendary Alan Parsons. This album is no retro piece of work, however, with Posford and Vaughn's legendary innovation resulting in a complex mix of styles that eludes genre-casting. Despite having no obvious dance numbers, 'The Last Days Of Gravity' provides enough levity to be the perfect soundtrack to the richness of daily experience.   See Comments Media - Music 2009-02-01T23:14:27Z mantekka Song IDs http://mantekka-music.blogireland.ie/post/153/827 I've got some old tapes & minidiscs from years ago with lots of songs & samples of the radio.

Music 2007-10-31T15:53:45Z mantekka My Band http://mantekka-music.blogireland.ie/post/153/1001 I Started jamming with Maria back in Feb 07, her on drums & me on bass. We decided to get a band together. Aiming to play Soul, Jazz-Funk, Blues style music, based on a good groove. So we went through a few months of auditions, looking for keys, guitar & vocals. After a pretty large amount of people we picked up new members gradually, giving us Tomasso on Keys, Michael on Geetar and Tam on vocals.Once we had all the right people on board, we started picking a setlist and through trial & error came up with over 20 tunes we're happy with. Stuff from Sly & The Family Stone, The Meters, The Breakestra, Jamiroquai & more. Adding lots of our own uniqueness & improvisations. We're starting out with cover, not your run of the mill ones mind you. And once we have them down we'll start writing our own material as we gel more & more. We're available for all sorts of gigs from now, music bars, clubs, pubs, corporate, parties, weddings, 21st, bar mitzvahs...We've been doing some serious practice over the last few months and we're ready to hit the road! So we've 5 gigs ready for the months of Oct & Nov so far & ready for more. The Name: Everyday People (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/everydaypeoplesounds" target="_blank" title="Click here for our myspace">Click here for our myspace</a>) <table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" height="94" width="440"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b1d0f0" width="120"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" height="16" width="120"><tbody><tr><td width="85">9 Oct 2007</td> <td align="right" width="35">21:00</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="191">Anseo</td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="115">Camden St, Dublin</td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#b1d0f0" width="120"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="120"> <tbody><tr> <td width="85">20 Oct 2007</td> <td align="right" width="35">21:00</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="191">Slattery's, Rathmines ( €5 )<a href="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=21035829&friendid=195161033"> </a></td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="115">Dublin 6 </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#b1d0f0" width="120"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="120"> <tbody><tr> <td width="85">9 Nov 2007</td> <td align="right" width="35">21:00</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="191">The Mezz, Temple Bar</td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="115">Dublin 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#b1d0f0" width="120"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="120"> <tbody><tr> <td width="85">24 Nov 2007</td> <td align="right" width="35">12:30</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="191">Gaiety Theatre late night club</td> <td bgcolor="#d5e8fb" width="115">Dublin 2 </td></tr></tbody></table>... and some outdoor charity gig off O'Connell St. somewhere  on 10th Nov! Here's a vid from the gig in Slatterys<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/RH9RQ21mr4M&rel=1" id="ltVideoYouTube"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RH9RQ21mr4M&rel=1" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowScriptAcess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /></object>  Hope to see you at them!  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/everydaypeoplesounds" title="http://www.myspace.com/everydaypeoplesounds">http://www.myspace.com/everydaypeoplesounds</a> Media - Music 2007-10-01T14:43:33Z mantekka Mix 04 - Summer Latin Mix http://mantekka-music.blogireland.ie/post/153/825 <div class="main"> This weather better pick up so we can fully enjoy my summer mix! </div> <div class="main"> Latin influenced mix of some latin jazz, soul and funk. </div> <div class="main">   </div> <div class="main"> mp3 92mb - 160 Kbps - ~78mins  Tracks: 01 - Antonio Carlos e Jocadi - Kabaluere 02 - Ray Baretto - Soul Drummers 03 - Hugh Masekela - Grazing In The Grass 04 - Willie Bobo - Roots 05 - Lee Evans - Cinnamon & Clove 06 - Gilberto Gil - Maracatu Atomico 07 - Charles Kynard - Zebra Walk 08 - Gonzalez - Funky Frith Street 09 - The Budos Band - Up From The South 10 - Donny Hathaway - The Ghetto 11 - The Rhythm Section Feat.
