What’s Up, What’s Up?! KnewJack here, your friendly neighborhood blog wizard. As this is my first cherry poppin’ post on the Squeak E. Clean blog, I thought I’d kick things off with a well deserved nod to N.A.S.A. and all of their creative funk juices. Here are a few super galactic space nuggets for you to zone out to this summer…

First and foremost I gotta kick things off with the mammal, the myth, the legend Galt MacDermot. He’s the man behind the man behind the man on the musical “Hair” who’s inspired countless jazz n’ funk nerds galaxy wide. He’s got that head nod shit that’ll break yo’ neck…
Next up is a killer chronic fueled collaboration b/w King Britt & Quasimoto & Madlib from the waayyyyy underrated/overlooked album “Adventures In Lo-Fi” King Britt put out back in ’03. King Britt started off as Digable Planets DJ back in the day and has since gone solo as a much sought after DJ/remixer. This track with Quasimoto/Madlib is as tripped out and zany as one would hope…
You can’t go wrong with “Space Fortress” You got the word “Space” and you got the word “Fortress”, what more could you ask for??? Any song with either of those words is guaranteed to be at least half decent but when you got both it’s a grown man’s wet dream…
This post would not be complete without some silky syrup disco type Space Funk, now would it? The bass bumps and the groove just don’t quit! This is something you just gotta ride to…

What can I say about this next track? Well, for one, I think we all know that Spank Rock catches wreck with whatever they do and this lil’ gem is no exception. But the star of this here show is DJ Kentaro and his mad hatted geniusness. He won the DMC turntablist champeenship at the ripe old age of 20 back in 2002. Kentaro’s a living legend in Japan and I was fortunate to catch him live last spring at a club in Tokyo. He blew my mo’fo’in’ mind and he might do the same to you if you’re not careful…
To close up shop and ease on out of this post we get some help from the lads of Lemon Jelly. Oh those brits! The track has a great extended astronaut featured intro then builds and grooves over the entire 7 minutes quite nicely. Beautiful Indeed…
