The Pope of Pop’s last week with this mortal coil began, more or less, on Valentine’s Day. It was a Saturday in 1987 during an otherwise routine collagen treatment when Andy Warhol complained about his gallbladder, an irascible organ he’d begrudgingly dealt with for years—at least since ’73 or ’74—and had since placated with doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and dietary adjustments. But a week or so prior to this appointment, the abdominal pain had returned with such a vengeance that he had been forced to cancel post-dinner plans to see the Bette Midler movie Outrageous Fortune.

“Me Against The World”, the world will definitely get behind these grooves. The original mix is a slice of minimalist bass heavy house with a funk undercurrent that not only harks back to dance floor classics of yesterday but hints of recent understated hits by the likes of Sade and more.

MKL’s remix puts the chunky in funky. Keeps the vibe of the original but flips the drums and keyboards to create a hypnotic dance floor brew.

The hypnosis continues with the ethnically inspired “Sitar Track” that maintains a driving funk undercurrent while sprinkling the exotic spice over the top. Perfect for that trip to Goa you’ve been meaning to plan.

The family of Bob Marley has announced the first ever authorized documentary on the singer will be in theaters this April.

“Marley” is being executive produced by Island Records’ founder Chris Blackwell, as well as Bob Marley’s son Ziggy Marley.

The documentary will make its world premiere at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February, and will premiere in North America, at SXSW this March. [Read More]
