(http://saturnneversleeps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/podcast10feature.jpg) (http://saturnneversleeps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/loft.jpg) Last week I had the pleasure of spinning with the Robotique (http://www.myspace.com/robotiquephilly) crew in Philadelphia. We did a special night dedicated to Dave Mancuso's Loft parties in NYC. This really meant a lot to me because I was a "Lofter" in the late 80s. We use to trek up to NYC to lose ourselves in the music and an atmosphere which eventually became historic nights. This was the blueprint of my dj career. While preparing for the special dedication, I pulled out some beautiful vinyl pieces from my library. I wanted to play things that were featured there, things I would have selected if I had played the Loft - and also sounds that may really work there today. In this podcast you will find rare gems like Eberhard Schoener w/ The Police (before they blew up), Get the Balance Right (dub mix) by Depeche Mode and new tidbits like Maurice Fulton's mix of Woofy. Enjoy these tunes as much as I have over the years! King Britt SNS Podcast No. 10 / King Britt's Loft Dedication P.S.

(http://saturnneversleeps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-7-600x353.png) Toto Bissainthe (http://www.totobissainthe.com/) was one of the most prolific singers to come from the Caribbean. Haiti's turbulent history and incredible culture are seemingly contained in any of Bissainthe's overwhelmingly moving folk songs.  Raw emotion and true to form vodun traditional melodies. She is the truth, and a testament to the purpose of music in its purest form: to express, heal, remember, and celebrate. Her full catalog is for sale on her official website (http://www.totobissainthe.com/). There is so much to say about the situation in Haiti, but for now I prefer to let Toto speak for me. 1.

Instantly recognizable from the dramatic string arrangements of Charles Stepney and the five-octave voice of Minnie Riperton, the group released six albums between 1967 and 1971 that combined rock, soul, and psychedelia to theatrical and occasionally transcendental heights.
