Running Back by How To Dress Well, remixed by CFCF featuring Cadence Weapon

CFCF on his How To Dress Well remix: "Tom asked me to remix a track from his record TOTAL LOSS. I chose Running Back because I wanted to give it a bit of swing. When I realized the song needed a verse to round things out and give it the properly Janet vibe I was going for, I asked the man Cadence Weapon to rap on it. So here is a suitably Montreal-vibed new jack swing smoothed out rendition."

Coco De Elevador by Chico Correa and Electronic Band

"Chico Correa is producer, DJ, and musician Esmeraldo Marques of Paraiba, Brazil. His productions blend traditional Brazilian and new electronic rhythms. This 2006 album is a result of years experimenting fusion of the organic and the electronic. The result is a blend of public domain lyrics using well-known folk melodies from Brazillian states of Paraíba and Pernambuco, electronic music, and jamming with singers, saxophone players, an Afro-Brazilian percussion set, and a rock power trio." So much of this blend comes alive with Coco De Elevador.
