MAYOR HAWTHORNE :: A LONG TIME :: BLUE EYED SOUL

I'm feeling this new joint "A Long Time" from Hair Cut (Mayor Hawthorne)... This track brings out that feel good vibe of late 70s Blue Eyed Soul (modern soul). We have a winner here!

Although I'm not a huge fan of the video direction (loved "The New Dance Show" - FYI), Hawthorne is probably paying tribute to his city, Detroit! Come on major label, backing up Mayor... Create a Official Video! I'm very curious to see the direction....

Happy he didn't use his falsetto voice - Non the less great track!

MAYOR HAWTHORNE :: SWEATER FUNK CREW

SF Station did a nice little write up for Mayor Hawthorne as he'll be in town next week to DJ. Not a Sweater Funk party, Sorry. After reading the press, We (Sweater Funk) were not prepared to hear what was about to come out his mouth.

Words can't describe how big this is. Were just a bunch or record nerds who do a FREE party every SUNDAY night. No, Money just love.

You can check the whole story via SF Station.

Also check the pictures from Sweater Funk 1 year when he absolutely destroyed the basement in China Town!


INTERVIEW:

SFS: When you have come to SF, I know you’ve played Sweater Funk a couple times. What do you like most about this party?

H: SweaterFunk is one of the best parties in America. The reason why it’s fun is because people come to dance. I feel like that’s something that’s missing at a lot of parties. When I go DJ in Europe, people come to the club to dance. For a DJ, that’s what makes it fun. SweaterFunk is one of the true spots where you know people are not standing around posting up on the walls.

OTIS LEAVILL COVERED BY MAYOR HAWTHORNE

A beautiful track by Otis Leavill covered by Mayor Hawyhorne. The new track produced by Nottz is on Fire!!!

Apparently, Hawthorne met producer Nottz at a Dilla Tribute event and the two kept in touch with the hopes to create some music together. "I Need You" is the first end result of their collaboration. And it's filled with dusty drums and shivering strings that boast similar chord progressions to the Leavill original. As such, Hawthorne decided to just go with it.

Although I'm not a huge fan of hawthorne (its his voice) this one stood out! Nice work on the collab. Pick up the 12"
