the donna smith experience’s “desire ep” is the 2nd edit release from this is our time. also, it is the first time that the glittering part of imre kiss wonderful soul is materialising on vinyl. these lustful tracks are just like going for a walk on a sweaty summer night which eventually turns out to be the best time of your life filled with dancing, flirting effortlessly & after a kiss falling in love for the last time. it is our soundtrack for the warm months, let it be yours too.

produced and recorded in 1965 during a time when chicago soul was one of the most influential sounds in r&b.the dontells entered the studio and cut two tracks that put that sound on full display. the session was led by producer calvin carter, world famous arranger johnny pate-along with the cities top musicians. these tracks were never released and have only been heard by a few people until now. the a side “move on down the line” grabs you from the first second the needle drops. a mid tempo love song with a trademark arrangement from pate and a vocal melody and approach in the style of chicago’s king of soul, curtis mayfield. “there goes a fool” is the b side and is a reminder why the dontells were one of the best groups out of the windy city. another brilliant production with a top notch arrangement. horns, strings, a swinging backbeat and that signature chicago vocal sound lead by the sweet harmonies of nate, leroy, manuel & ralph. this is no doubt a 60’s soul classic in 2017!

recording of the bbc jazz for moderns radio series session, broadcast in 1962 from the bbc maida vale studios.
limited pressing of 500 copies only, never released commercially before.

chantals tracks are tinged with a hazy, nocturnal sadness, a touch of sexy, decadent disco glamour and a retro palette of sounds that reminds the listener of the synthesised soundtracks to john carpenters horror films. diegors & the dons (aka m. aguayo) tracks are testimonies to this fact. built simply but well, in the comeme style for maximum dancefloor power. the overall strangeness plus the syncopated melodies are distinctly latin and couldnt have come from any other label. cÓmeme is hot right now and this is definitely the best record they have done so far

1998 classic by chicago house legend dj pierre!!

marbled vinyl

woke rhythms and high-spirited grooves from the vaults of two seminal italian jazz labels, between the 70s and 80s. featuring the brightest names in creative jazz or the avant-garde of the era like archie shepp or sun ra arkestra. intensely curated by khalab.

two queensbridge classics. the a side is reconstructed from the original samples. the don takes it back to brooklyn with top bliilin drums.

tramps feeling nice series has positioned itself as a universally accepted essential cultural and historical document of some of the greatest unknown local vernacular american black music of the sixties and seventies. the feeling nice series has been dedicated to filling in the blanks between the more well known cuts of so-called deep funk canon and drawing out the relationships and stories behind and between the tunes and the artists, and ultimately creating a dialogue that serves to enlighten and enliven a true anti-racist discussion of american popular music specifically and of global human music in general. with feeling nice vol. 4, tramp continues this important conversation, and having spent over 700 days unearthing a rousing selection across the board, offers it to you, now, as a double lp with full-color label scans, never before seen promo shots, and detailed biographical information - in some cases in the words of the artists themselves! also includes a single-sided bonus 7 inch plus download code for the full release, all housed in a gatefold sleeve.

since 2002, soundway records has been synonymous with high-quality and groundbreaking compilations of music from africa, the caribbean and south america. nigeria special is the most ambitious project yet for the label, a truly in depth, double album look at nigerian music in the early to mid-70s, encompassing a broad range of styles.

having opened 2011 with the splendid debut by young and talented ana helder from rosario (argentina), comeme is back with its third release this year and is as usual a display of unpindownable style that demonstrates once again these musicians have a firm understanding of rhythms and dancing and, most of all, want to communicate to very different people and not just to a certain musical context. chilean pop is a true special ep that digs up comemes connections in santiago de chile and sees some of the most beloved artists of the label remixing a couple of bands from the current and awfully exciting underground chilean pop music scene, a real breeding ground of young music talents at the moment.

> rollerskate< could be the most infectious song your going to hear this year. its far too easy to immediately get drawn in with the organic earthiness of aguayos musicianship. things get mixed up when diegors & the don move towards a more traditional cumbia tuned version and sanfuentes & alex thunders come up with a demented disco bass wobble. last but not least mexicos dark dancer rebolledo brings his signature beat(down) together with matiass mantra to new levels
