here is the next instalment in kat records, sub-label kat45. this time sees rossoulano from the blackbeard camp, who were infamous in the early noughties with their soulful re-workings of stateside nu soul & hip hop originals into a more organic sound and championed by the like of giles peterson.
first up here we have rossoulano’s extended version of the supremes – stormy. originally produced by henry cosby in 1968, the man behind motown classics stevie wonders ‘my cherie amour’& smokey robinson & the miracles tears of a clown, stormy is one of the hidden gems from diana ross’s supremes. released on vinyl for the first time here and sounding all the mightier for it…
on the flip we have an the mysterious friends in lo places… an rnb/neo soul melter that harks back to blackbeards edit hey day and acts as a nice reminder as to why the name still rings true to many a soul aficionado.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

seit Ÿber zehn jahren steht der britische dj matt tolfrey, nebenbei betreiber des leftroom-labels, an den decks des londoner fabric-clubs und stellt nun erstmals seine definition eines sexy und schwei§treibenden dancefloorsets auch in der gleichnamigen cd-reihe vor. dabei mixt er sich eigenwillig durch styles und jahrgŠnge, nur auf die ultimative funkiness achtend, was ihm hervorragend gelingt.

nic tvg, aka producer nic taylor, has been lurking in the shadows since 2010, occasionally stepping forward to deliver decidedly dark, murky and unusual blends of drum and bass, abstract electronica and leftfield beats.

dubstep !!!
