SpaceTimeMusic

Lyd the SBW breaks out the 60s soul samples and sings along (not for the listening audience) to the anthem of the heart broken and nearly tone deaf the world over: Biz Markie’s Just a Friend.

The SpaceTimeMusic theme music is a sample of the Ana-Tole x Jonah Christian Remix of Ready or Not by the Fugees.

DC native and soul connoisseur DJ Ronrica takes Lyd the SBW from Disney tunes to Super Fly and music cruises. It’s First Choice vs MJB, Anita vs Lalah and 90s hip-hop vs everybody.

DJ Ronrica’s Music Profile

What was your first and/or favorite 45/LP?

The Aristocats Soundtrack
Everybody Wants to be a Cat
Scatman Crothers
1970

Cassette? 

Cassettes ring different for me. I bought them. I had them (needed tunes to drive to when I got a car) but we used them to listen to go-go music (DC girl) or to record music from the radio. The latter was memorable because there were a couple of trips I took to visit relatives in NYC.  Boom Boxes and hip-hop were the thing, so I had to record this music I was hearing from the radio as it was different from what we were listening to in DC.

*You can also get a taste of go-go in episode 27 A Good Beat (Pump Me Up, E Flat Boogie, Trouble Funk, 1982)*

CD? MP3? 

Can’t think of the first one, but I do remember listening to Anita Baker’s Compositions the first time and thinking it was one of the best sounding, best engineered CDs ever.

What is your go to getting ready to go out musical genre/song? 

Could be anything, depending on mood…examples:

Henny & Gingerale 
How Do You Do
Mayer Hawthorne
2011

Let No Man Put Asunder (as mentioned in episode 11 Fanfare for the House)
First Choice 
1983

Mary
Mary J. Blige
1999

What is your go to rainy day genre/song? 

Rainy Night in Tokyo 
Passion Fruit
Michael Franks
1983

What do you have on heavy rotation right now? 

Heaux Tales
Jazmine Sullivan feat. Ari Lennox, Anderson.Paak, H. E. R.
2021

What is your favorite sample and/or cover?

Sample:

Give Me Your Love (Love Song)
Super Fly
Curtis Mayfield
1972

My favorite use of this sample/song is when it was used in the movie ‘Love Jones’ by the house band at the lounge that the characters frequented for poetry/music.  It was a great way to set the tone/mood.
