the formula was simple: marry bubblegum and soul to the absolute sincerity of an enthusiastic child, cross your fingers and pray for airplay. but while the youthful sums of that formula may have grown up and walked away from their illusions of stardom, their permanent records remain. by 1973, michael, tito, jermaine, marlon and jackie were as hip as kids could get—household names, with lunchboxes, coloring books, a saturday morning cartoon, and an alpha-bits cereal commercial pushing the j5 brand onto any kid with television reception. their impressive run of four consecutive #1 singles playing on both pop and r&b stations cemented their appeal to both whites and blacks, prompting mgm to launch the osmonds as the safer (read: white) alternative. and parents? well michael had that wrapped up with his impossible-not-to-love mini-james brown thing. even their song selection straddled both sides, with “zip a dee do dah” and “abc” for kids, and contemporary standards “standing in the shadows of love” and “my cherie amour” for the older crowd. this extreme marketing and merchandising juggernaut created the kid soul explosion. a decade removed from our acclaimed home schooled compilation comes a fresh batch of talent show titans. with enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like magical connection, little man and the inquires, and five ounces of soul emulated the jacksons, who’d made grade-school stardom appear easy as abc. afterschool special: the 123s of kid soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual d.a.r.e. anthem, to james brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

despite his artist name and his trademark sound, steve murphy does not come from chicago, but from mira, a little town on the suburban area of venice. steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. he is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal. steve has produced together with die roh an album (-the chasm-) and one e.p (-windy city-) on chiwax, and a solo 10- (-planet earth-) on rawax, these records have quickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic warehouse sounds. in 2012 he has started the riviera project and has founded the muscle records label, together with lucretio, dj octopus, caio, madì grein and chevel. the label is a facility to spread what has been called -the sound of brenta-: a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno. in 2012 he also released -the dove ultimatum- on vae victis records, under the moniker of durant: an unfriendly 12- of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with die roh and lucretio.

deep site vinylized return with a special 4 track v/a release for those late summer parties, marc cotterell opens thing up with the organ-powered garage infected sunset vibes. synthesizer solos dominate the view while subtle rhodes and b-3 phrases meander in the funky framework. next up welcoming an old deep house favourite from glasgow calum walker of fresh and low delivering the beautifully understated string theory which builds like a cinematic theme tailor made for dance floors. synths pulses and dramatic themes intermingle with subtle string lines laying boldly within driving rhythms. the flip side brings a return to deep site for addex who comes on smooth and strong with blazing, utilizing solid drums and bubbling percussive edges. the synth pads build slowly in juxtaposition with the cloud stabs and analogue melodic flourishes. closing with erotic soul from even furtuna featuring the writers poet is a chicago deep styled gem with its gorgeously stated poetry flowing through a bed of bass, organ, and builds. the main infectious riff plays well off of the verse breaks. enjoy!

peter kremeier, aka losoul, has always been an artist weve greatly admired here at hypercolour, so its a real thrill to have him on the label at long last. a huge catalogue of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like playhouse, moodmusic and freak n chic, losoul turns in two exceptional tracks on the slowly turning release here.

johnny d is back !!! one of mannheim’s legends returns with an extraordinary ep. he delivers two masterpieces of his typical johnny d sound – floating, groovy, funky and melodic. a real synesthia that stays in mind.

the activ-analog collective return under this name for the first time in 10 years with a blistering new ep on lisbon s assemble music. taken from group live jams which are mixed down and tweaked on the fly, these four tracks recall the explosive simplicity of daniel bell s output on accelerate, both a-side tracks all whacked-out acid and basslines cut through by razor sharp hats and claps. the b-side sees the addition of the same woozy pads that defined their venerated night shift eps from the late 90s, taking the mood far into the afterhours. hard but with a light touch, funky and clean - in one word, irresistible.

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they dont mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks they d still be walking around eating grass.

the third cachai ltd comes from the russian heavy weight tripmastaz who almost single-handedly has been making russia decidedly more funky over the last 10 years.

after a one year hiatus, berlin s michael melchner is finally back in a memorable way with a new release on colt music. three original cuts that do not need any futher explanation with ? came first as the main track, followed by a more personal version on the b side. closing things off, prague adds the spice with a funky minimal tool track.

up first on the ep comes splendid -copper-. a pure 909 detroit funky work out and a dancefloor-filler at its best. with his name kind of a bow to the originators and the vinyl history. waiting for the drop business. the second tune -memories- is harder and darker. it comes with a huge atmosphere. you can see a dark room with just a strobe and fog in front of you. last one is the title track -akira-. its more experimental with a broken beat and a vibe which feels like a walk through chernobyl. one for the heads.

played by ricardo villalobos -- bass culture welcomes another industry heavyweight to its roster of talent with this new release, which follows hot on the heels of the killer 50th release by mr. g. this latest release comes from long time friend of bass culture owner d julz and dutch techno hero steve rachmad. steve is renowned for his funky take on techno, honing his skills as a dj and producer over 25 years and establishing himself as a respected and hugely talented artist in the process. the first of two tracks on this new ep is entitled * sabre song* - a stomping, illuminating cut straight out of the rachmad school of detroit-influenced techno. d julz heard steve play the track at womb in tokyo and had to sign it on the spot. *sabre song* is a perfect fit for bass culture with its groovy bassline, cutting hats and * big band* instrumentation. on the flip d julz himself contributes an edit of one of steves nineties classic, a favourite of his and one which both men agreed should be given a release. pumping out at a speedy tempo, the force is strong with * activa*, transporting us back to the rave era with its catchy melody, and retro physique. summer vibes all the way with this one.

true romance label boss tensnake channeled the disco gods once again and brings us his brand new 3-track freundchen ep. a frenzied, sun drenched package filled with dance floor magic. the title track freundchen features a raw and infectious bassline, filtered funky loops, thumping rhythms and blissful vocal stabs all blended into an irresistible disco bomb. a future tensnake classic, it has been spawning serious contortions wherever it lands. heavily road tested by the man himself. on the flipside, tazaar brings the heat up with a killer african groove brilliantly combined with classic house vibes. while no fool plunges into the depth of the nights going into a darker hallucinatory trajectory with its minimal pumping kicks, dreamy synths and echo-drenched vocals.

philippe quenum returns to cadenza music with ‘solitaire’, some thirteen years after helping kick start the swiss label with the 2003 release ‘orange mistake’/ funky dandy’. this groundbreaking single, co-produced with luciano, has since become a landmark release, not just for the label, but also as the benchmark for the micro-house and minimal tech-house genre that developed over the decade. with a music career than spans back to the mid-80s (dancing in nyc as part of the breakdance troupe, the magnificent force), quenum found his forte with house music, both as a dj, and as a producer and label owner. setting up the access 58 label in 1998 as a platform for his music and collaborations, quenum has consistently released over the years for labels like crosstown rebels, soma, alphahouse, thema and trapez ltd. ‘solitaire’ finds quenum on fine form, on the lead track, dubby fx and bass shaking shots roll out over an urgent disco beat, muted brass and technoid stabs fire from all directions as the tension building pads flourish. shadowy forces are at play on ‘mystic’, discordant sounds echo and bellow over reverberating percussion and a dense back beat that fire into life with shuffling hi-hats. wrapping up this welcome return to the label is ‘mystery’, whipping snares and industrial clangs rumble over the urgent drums for more hypnotizing dancefloor work from philippe!

coloured repress!!!! the original move your butty (1992) gained cult status and the time seems right for a re-release of this gem. it was originally out on the legendary london based irdial records. thee j johanz decided to replace samples with synths, which gave him the freedom to create a totally fresh and moody remix, good enough to keep our buttys moving for the next 20 years. the strings of the elka synthex give you wings, while the typical move your butty bassline is pumpin you up. expect the unexpected from prins thomas remix: very refreshing funky eighties electro vibes, or is it the sound of the future? an original approach with an oasis of move your butty references in the middle. an excellent remix of the remix

nice price deal !!! the development of the docile sound has evolved at its own pace over time. the assembly of sound is an intuitive process, and the acceptance of errors is a vital part of the docile working method. docile is a labor of love that takes a stand against mass produced music that an artist is well removed from. docile has a hands-on dedication to every part of the vinyl process to ensure what you get is a legitimate effort. team docile are craftsmen that use their collective skills to produce vinyl with a unique quality and sense of style. the over all sound of docile #20 can be described as soulfully dark, immature, and lovesick amid a funky party atmosphere. the personalities of each track nudge you to its direction with simple grooves that tell stories that are felt without words. these are tracks of moving detroit minimal that stutter, break and turn with a basic efficiency. tracks that share a dark irony in root, but somehow glitch towards a positive. docile looks inward for inspiration and describes its self in this revolving time and place.

this is the first release for brooklyn ny based 369 records. for the first time also the music of bne and diet rx is being shared with the world. bne is a two man group also based out of brooklyn, their deep house vibes are an easy pleaser. diet rx is as you guessed a nyc resident, and supplies the b-side with a funky gear heavy throwback to a ravey, trancey, crunchy time where image was not as important as the experience.
