One of the funkiest non-p-funk related albums I know. I thought. Because, if you read in the liner notes who's playing on this 1982 album you'll find that Dennis Chambers plays drums. When I looked it up on Discogs, a user says: "Wicked tight shit. Dennis Chambers on drums = Quality control". That pretty much nails it. But it's not only Dennis Chambers. It's so creative and varied, jazz harmonies and funk discipline, from this great musician who died 3 years ago, only 59 years old. He only made 2 albums under his own name. One in 1982 and one in 2002. Then I looked up Don Blackman on Wikipedia and it actually says that he played with Parliament/Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire and Roy Ayers... and he played a lot of jazz/fusion and later hiphop. Lots of credits for his participation in the projects of other people Here's one of my favourite tracks of the album:

In addition to Mixcloud and Hearthis, all mixes are also available as podcasts on Deezer and iTunes.It was in 2015 when I had my first official dj gig and since 2016 I started to perform regularly. This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
