a big release from the om records team. this latest cut from miguel migs really is seriously dope. migs dub mix does exactly what you want and expect providing musical house music at its finest. throw into the equation the fact that all three of the remixes are done by artists that serve up serious heavyweight tracks and you get a four track piece of prime vinyl. soul clap (possibley the biggest success story of 2011 along side seth troxler) produce a finely tweaked and expertly executed remix which lives up to every bit of the soul clap hype. aki bergen from neurotraxx fame also smashes it on the remix front gracing us with a deep grooving interpretation to nod our heads in the clubs. finally, hardsoul (if you don’t know who they are where have you been hiding) do what they do best, vocal house gold. a quality release not to be missed

digitally remastered edition of this 1975 album. gil scott heron is justifiably recognized as one of the most unique black music artists of all time. his music transgresses all musical barriers in the same way that stevie wonder, bob marley and marvin gaye did. first minute of a new day was the first album that gil and collaborator brian jackson recorded with the fantastic midnight band, and is a revelation throughout. the album reflects all the aspects of gil and brians music, a mixture of soul, jazz and other influences sometimes powerful, mellow at others, but always compelling. but it is the lyrics and messages of the songs that really made gil scott heron stand out from his contemporaries, always telling a story and informing us of situations that needed attention.

eleventh and conclusive ten inch of the la series comes from two thirds of the sa-ra creative partners shafiq husayn and om mas keith. working solo on each side shafiq is first with seven minutes of funk split into three parts. >dna splice mix< is an intense mix of hip hop and funk beats, chopped vocals, jazz and soul combining to form an infectious for-the-heads downtown la sound. flipping over om mas goes uptown and gives us a more polished sound with a leftfield r n b - hip hop vocal track >girls a player<. instrumental plus accapella included for potential remixers.

perfect for fans of ricardo villalobos / perlon !!! just when we thought that thomas melchior and peter frank adshead had hung up their soul capsule boots and settled on sporadic solo work, they come belting back with two releases in a matter of months on peter fords trelik label. >deep dawn<, up first, is typically soul capsule. dark, twisted techno thats made for dark spaces and dark minds. sporting low, reverbed basslines that throb along to breathy and indecipherable vocals, >deep dawn< and <new day dawn< project the same eyes closed, foot stomping attack on their listeners as each other
