IMPORTANT NOTE: Last week I said that Cookin\’ On 3 Burners is a trio version of The Bamboos. This is INCORRECT! The only common member between the groups is guitarist Lance Ferguson. Drummer Ivan \”Choi\” Khatchoyan is busy with other projects as well and organist Jake Mason\’s info can be found here .

As always, the \”Something Else! Intro\” starts off the show before our first \”proper tune,\” Missy Elliot\’s bhangra-beat hit \”Get Ur Freak On (Amended Version.)\” This tune was part of a musical direction that mainstream urban music took for a while that I particularly enjoyed in the early 00s. Along with hip-hop, dancehall reggae also adopted this sound as evidenced by songs using the \”Coolie Riddim\” such as \”Pull Up\” by Mr. Vegas or official remixes like \”Dude (Punjabi Hit Squad Remix)\” by Beenie Man. By the way, Punjabi Hit Squad have a great show on BBC Radio called \”Desi Beats.\” While we\’re speaking about the UK, the next track \”So You Want Morre? feat. Roots Manuva (refix)\” by Ty is an English counterpart to the Missy Elliot track. \”Rumba Infierno\” by La Troba Kung F
