(Digital Single/Free 128k MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) Paris DJs PARISDJS001-D, 2011-11-04

The iPhone Connection song is a tribute to the co-founder and CEO of Apple who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer this summer. It was recorded at Paris DJs studios just a few days before Steve Jobs passed away. Jamaican DJ The Lone Ranger is on vocal duties with French dubmeister Grant Phabao at the controls & playing all instruments. The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time. He had originally recorded The Walkman Connection way back in 1984 (on "DJ Daddy" / Techniques), now fully updated to 2011 as The Iphone Connection !

Press Release :
The Macintosh and its Finder application were revolutionnary for the way we create. Then one day Napster happened, soon followed by AudioGalaxy and many others. While the big music business was struggling with the limit of its ecosystem and the paradigm that had come with the use of mp3 files, Steve Jobs changed the way we consumed music with the iPod and the iTunes music store. Soon after that, he changed the way we consume information with the iPhone.

This is not a remix of Steve Jobs' speeches or commercials, we did it our way, creating an original and uplifting song.

Take a listen and share with your friends. Buy it on iTunes. Play it on your iPhone.

RIP Steve Jobs.

Feedback :
"Cool men. I like it!" - Duke Amayo (Fu Arkist-Ra/Antibalas)
"interesting track. Feels like a commercial :-) Cheery old school vibe though" - Zak (Souljazz Orchestra/Slim Moore & The Mar-Kays)

I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too few men and women are
speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.

Grant Phabao & The Lone Ranger - The Mobsta

For this new single, The Lone Ranger came to us saying 'I want to do something different, something more closer to a hip hop vibe, with more acting in my singing… and lots of sound effects'. After the massive gun battle with armed gangs fighting police and soldiers that took place in Kingston in may 2010, he tried to explain that he wanted to raise some awareness on today's Jamaica, where between 70-80% of fatal shootings have been linked to criminal gangs, whose firepower equals that of the police.
