Domino notes: One of my Favorite Del songs. What part, if any, did I play in the production of this del classic?

Saw Domino last night, he said he’d try to come up with a song every day (maybe something that inspired him, maybe something random from his ipod). We’ll see how long we can keep this up (you’ll also see these on his Facebook). He’s going to be over at Pyramind Studios for the Elite Sessions Master Class on Thurs, Oct 7th at 7pm (new date). Tickets available here.
He says, “With the Giants in the playoffs, I was thinking about Celebration but that song is waay too corny to post, haha… I’d much rather give you some Soul Vibrations.”

Message from B+:
This past summer, Coleman and myself, along with Jay Electronica and his DJ, TJ the King, Ommar Offendum, and Will Quantic had the chance to go to the Middle East and play. We even made it to Egypt and linked with Kutmah there, but that’s a whole other story… This mix represents some of what we learnt. It’s a group effort, but Coleman made the whole thing seem magically coherent…

Mochilla has had the opportunity to visit Lebanon and Jordan twice within the past year, as well as Egypt most recently. We were invited by our friends Nasser Kalaji and Laith Majali of Immortal Entertainment to play our music in Beirut and Amman, and to experience for ourselves how life is at this incredible cultural crossroads. To say that we have been astonished, amazed, shocked, gratified and humbled is to put things mildly. We have only begun to scratch the deep surface of this world, and yet so many things have been revealed already.
In honor of these visits and our growing cultural exchange, we are presenting a mix of some of the music that we collected, picked up, swapped and bought along the way. Coleman always delivers when it comes to these mixes and this is no different: from Jay-Z samples to the fidjeri vocal music of Bahraini pearl divers, this is a journey worth taking. Enjoy, open your ears and let the beauty and depth of the cradle of civilization wash away your preconceptions…

While fully realizing the advertising aspect of this, it is still a cool video and gives you a little insight into Mike Giant’s creative process. Medicine Agency facilitated the videos for Blue Angel with people like Werehaus, Brandon Biebel & Finktoons. You can see the others here.
