Why do we like this?

Darondo represents San Francisco's funk and soul scene of the 70s. Terrel Wallace pays homage to his song "Sure Know How To Love Me" in this edit, aptly named "I Don't Want To Leave."

Chicago's Wallace, aka Tall Black Guy, is a regular re-worker and producer of jazz, soul and hip-hop. The artist has tackled Jackson 5, Malice & Mario Sweet and Coultrain among many others. In this mix, off Luv N' Haight Edit Series Vol.5,  he leaves Darondo's vocals in the backdrop, while flipping the soul to the forefront for a modern sensuality.

TBG is a winner of the Robert Glasper Remix competition and has been featured on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Bubblers Vol. 7, so don't be surprised when you like what you hear. To hear more, visit Wallace's SoundCloud.

By David Peter Simon on Dec 19, 2012 | My first reaction? Wow.I really love this Ta-ku collaboration with Miles Bonny. It's smooth hip-hop that sounds like it should exist in the jazzy 40s. It's a gorgeous track that's perfect for winter -- the drums are fantastic, and the song has a magi... read more →
