wiederauflage als vinyl-edition! von künstler willie mitchell 1971 für hi-records unter vertrag genommen, entwickelte sich syl johnson neben al green und ann peebles zu einem der erfolgreichsten soul-künstler des labels. -total explosion- ist sein populärstes solo-album und enthält den größten hit -take me to the river-. dieses stück gibt es auch in einer interpretation von al green, jedoch ist syl johnsons version deutlich langsamer eingespielt, so dass diese eine gänzlich andere wirkung entfaltet. syl johnsons tochter ist die r&b-sängerin syleena johnson, die er bis heute künstlerisch berät und begleitet.

syl johnsons karriere nahm etliche wendungen. zunächst verstand sich sylvester thompson als blues-sänger und tourte mit legenden wie howlin wolf durch die staaten. erst später - durch die entdeckung von hi-records - nahm er sich der soul musik und des pseudonyms syl johnson an, mit dem er weltberühmt werden sollte

brilliant funk-soul from 1973. written by leon sylvers iii, produced by a heavyweight line-up comprising jerry butler, keg johnson and michael viner.

this is a masterpiece. beautiful, golden-era soul written by leon sylvers iii, produced by jerry butler and keg johnson. . the sylvers were a family from los angeles who were very successful during the 70’s and into the early 80’s, with chart hits – deep into pop-disco territory by then! – including ‘boogie fever’, ‘hot line’ and ‘high school dance’. this is the groups second album, from 1973, and is one of their strongest. opening with the awesome mid-tempo ‘we can make it if we try’ the record moves through funk, boogie and deep soul moods, finishing on a hazy, acapella version of the beatles ‘yesterday’.

after the highly successful first volume in the stag-o-lee dj set series we present volume 2. again an 80 minute set - this time by stuttgart based dj joe whirlypop. joe is a jack of all trades, someone who can make a wedding crowd dance, is well versed in new wave and punk and everything in between. but his biggest love is the 50’s and early 60’s. he is playing all over stuttgart for years, but these two discs reflect his monthly shake your bones residency at stuttgarts famous goldmarks club. expect all kinds of blues - from jump to rhythm & to raw electric.

review with its latest reissue, majiks back into your heart - melodies international dug deep into the back catalogue of hi records, the legendary soul label from memphis founded in the 1950s. originally signed as a recording artist, willie mitchell took the reins of the label and guided it through its most successful period in the 1970s, notably producing a string of studio recordings for al green, syl johnson and o.v. right among other eminent soul musicians of the time.

whilst not the first uk dance scene the mods had that covered – northern soul is the longest running. those northern clubbers who eschewed late 60s psychedelic fripperies for obscure old soul records with the requisite beat, couldnt have known what they started. after using up all the uk released sides they began digging in the united states and after nearly 50 years the northern soul scene has probably unearthed more great music than any other. all night long is our tribute to those pioneers and includes current in-demanders such as the sensations demanding man, classics by the chandlers and ernest mosley and a host of other dancefloor friendly masterpieces. all night long, can you feel that beat and extra added soul will be available on cd & double vinyl and are compiled by dj and award winning compiler dean rudland, with stunning artwork from his long-time collaborators the unknown. across the three volumes there are 60 tracks of soul, funk and boogie.

it really feels like we (aka mad mats & tooli) have been around way longer than 5 1/2 years with local talk, but it s really true what they say, time flies when you re having fun! from what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. we really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the local talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality. from our very first release with bassfort s excellent moon shadow in the summer of 2011, we had a crystal clear vision of what local talk should represent...house music in any way, shape or form! over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, uk, berlin, new jersey, detroit and of course chicago inspired house music. if it made us bump...we put it out! this brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. we thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 1/2 years and immediately the image of blaze s classic album 25 years later popped up. besides the fact that it s an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. it s not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. this fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we ve tried to capture on our 5 1/2 years later compilation, split into two parts. on part 2 you ll find a high energy disco rub from parisian s3a, a truly deep and soulful vocal jam from boddhi satva & sly johnson, a deep uk garage production from smbd (aka simbad), a dark and electronic affair from toto chiavetta (yoruba) and finally a musical acid number with that magical bristol touch from newcomer marcel lune. all in all we think we got most angles covered and hopefully this album will make you spread that chalk on the dance floor and get down...local talk style

der produzent willie mitchell brachte die talentierte rhythm group hervor-hi rhythm, welche aus den hodges bruedern und howard grimes bestand. im jahre 1976 nahmen sie die lp on the loose auf und waren als band bis in die 90er hinein zusammen erfolgreich unterwegs. das quartett gilt auch heute noch als eine der besten und bedeutendsten bands im bereich soul-musik. und neben ihnen waren weitere großartige künstler wie ann peebles, otis clay oder auch syl johnson auf dem brillanten label hi-records vertreten. der gesamte umfangreiche backkatalog des legendären us-soul-labels hi records wird nun via fat possum re-released. sämtliche alben werden mit der original-tracklist veröffentlicht. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive download-code.

vintage voltage from the nfls first man in munich. infectious >sam spence sounds< from this kuckuck stalwart. the latest release on the germanic minor off-shoot. born in san francisco in 1927 samuel lloyd spence is a peculiar piece in the komplicated krautrock puzzle. as an american ex-pat working in a community of german rock musicians in the early 70s, spence shared his alien status with the likes of david johnson and malcolm mooney (can), carole muriel (brainticket) maria archer (embryo) bill barone (wallenstein) and the band sweet smoke.
