Here I am again in the city
With a fist full of dollars and baby you gotta believe:
I’m back!
Back in the New York groove
I’m back
Back in the New York groove… – Hello (1975, New York Groove)
I just spent an overdue weekend out in South Hampton and who knew what a little fresh air and tennis could [...]
I know I usually put the cover of the sampled record when posting on the great EMPT, but this time I did something different because there is a story behind it (See kevincaseymusic.com). The Geto Boys We Can’t Be Stopped album cover is one of the rawest ever. After a long night of drug abuse, [...]
I’ve been hearing some people talking crazy about how excited they are for winter. Let me put it on the record, I do not share those feelings and though I look forward to spring and maybe early fall I have zero to negative 2 interest in the New York City winter, maybe for a few [...]
First and foremost, this song is f&*k#ng awesome. Ok now to the post…
From Mayer Hawethoner to Sharon Jones to Space Invadas to Amy Winehouse to Joss Stone to Duffy to Raphael Saadiq to Melanie Fiona to VV Brown to the Noisettes, the love for retro soul get’s stronger by the day and with the genres [...]
This rain thing is starting to get old so I’m posting something that still fits the mood but keeps things moving. I actually wanted to play this Viking remix at our Foundation party last weekend but the crowd was pretty much only responding to Top 40 radio so I was limited in the EMPT stuff [...]
First of all, this song is sick. All I know about Blue Hawaii is that they’re from Canada, they’re signed to Arbutus records and they’ve released an album called Blooming Summer which you can download for free here. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the title, a lush, very relaxing and collage of hazy dreap [...]
It’s raining in the city and this Short Club remix of Cosmic Love couldn’t fit the mood better. It’s a 7 minute song and it’s literally the only thing I’ve been listening to since I woke up early this morning. The song and production are dark, sultry, emotional, hopeful and surreal. Trying to stay sane in [...]
After being the only other MC on Nas’s classic Illmatic, it seemed that AZ was destined to become one of the faces of hip-hop music. Even after releasing classic album after classic album, he never reached the commercial success that once seemed inevitable. Despite the lack of mainstream notoriety, AZ never leaves his fans disappointed and [...]
We’ve been bumping some serious electro-house at our events and my mind has been consumed with party music so I wanted it to tone it down with something relaxed that still moves. That’s when I went through some of my drafts and found a post I started writing a month ago about the new French [...]
We like a little Chaos, we like a little thrill.”
I’m in a little bit of a pickle with EMPT these days. The problem is that with Hear No Evil launched I can’t exactly post all the rare records I have in my collection because I would basically be giving the competition free product. On top [...]
