Throwback Music: The SSO Orchestra - Faded Lady from Strange Games & Funky Things vol. 5 mixed by DJ Spinna
Another BBE records-related post. This time a track from Volume 5 of the label's excellent Strange Games & Funky Things compilation series due for release next month:
The SSO Orchestra - 'Faded Lady' [mp3 audio stream]
Real heads will recognize that as the basis for the track, "I Went For Mine" from Diamond D's classic debut album Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop. Younger heads maybe more so for its use more recently in the failed Rally New York anthem, "NY Sh-t" by Busta Rhymes.
"The Strange Games series which began in the summer of 1997, represents the blueprint for modern R&B and rap music. It joins the dots between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mass market hip hop. This compilation contains a wide variety of styles of tracks, from classic dance-floor fillers as well as lesser known delights. A more accessible diggers delight if you wish with an emphasis on quality track and not just songs worth having for a 2 second sample.
Featuring a much more worldly selection than its predecessors - tracks by the multi-platinum selling War to Sylvia (Robinson, founder of Sugarhill Records) sit side by side with world music underground icons like C.K. Mann and Francisco Aguabella. This volume is the 5th in a series of compilations that appears to have the widest appeal of all BBE's compilations and proves to be even better by the fact that there is a bonus mixed CD by the one and only Dj Spinna!"

Video: DJ Spinna feat. Krym (of Jigmastas) - "New York"
Sidebar: the visuals in this clip suggest the answer is obviously yes but to be sure I gotta ask, did Spinna sample the keyboard progression from the beginning of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" to make the beat on this track? [via The Smoking Section]
