when we at rocafort records contacted legendary latin producer bobby marin our plan was to license *nitty boo boo* and *something new*, two previously unreleased tracks, for a 45 release. much to our surprise we were told by marin that those two tracks were part of an lp recorded in 1967 that had never seen the light of day. the bad news was that all the masters had been lost. by one of those amazing coincidences six months later the only existing acetate for the lp surfaced in a thrift store in pennsylvania. we couldnt believe it! finally, almost 50 years after its recording, rocafort records is proud to present this previously unreleased latin monster lp by the nitty gritty sextet. recorded by the finest musicians in the new-york latin scene, including tito puente, jimmy sabater, louie ramírez and many more, it is still a mystery to find out that this album was never released at the time despite being so good. whether you like to boogaloo, dance to the mambo or swing to the beat of the latin jazz, you are in for a treat!

in 2011, frootful released their debut album colours on freestyle to great acclaim, with everyone from osunlade, craig charles and diesler praising it s modern-yet-retro blend of 60s soul, rocksteady, dance floor friendly jazz and r&b, whilst jazz fm made it an album of the week. the debut single taken from it, *fish in the sea* became a club hit, and also featured in steven soderberghs hit movie magic mike.
fast forward to 2013, and guitarist nick radford and crew return with an equally eclectic collection of songs and grooves that make up the new album, heavyweight. the title originates from a soul night nick used to play 45s at, but also tips its hat to the art of producing a record, in aiming to get an authentically heavy sound down - from the writing, engineering and recording, through to the final mixing and mastering. co-producer krzysztof oktalski played a big role in getting such a sound down, himself a big northern soul collector, who worked with larry stabbins and members of portishead on his stonephace album (on tru thoughts).

numero 047 eccentric soul: the forte label charts kansas city yeomans work, the carpets and the derbys, dapper clothiers mysteriously murdered, and marriages made and broken. in 28 lp tracks or 21 on cd, plus a trove of promo headshots and every-hued label scans detailing all iterations of fortes logo in print, this 16th eccentric soul sojourn hands over vivid floor shakers and lost dance craze records alike—though what moves the hen required remains anyones guess.

fusing latin american sounds with european electronic beats can often produce a bland and rudderless dross destined for derivative lounge compilations and deliriously dull playlists at pretentious after work cocktail bars. not so with the aptly named 1st trip, the superb sophomore effort from the equally aptly named los transatlanticos.

in keb darges own words: i ve done many a compilation in my day, mostly based around the tunes i played at my long running deep funk nights in madame jo jos. that night is no longer on the go, possibly due to a growing lack of interest on my part, (sorry). in the last few years the lost & found: nights at the club have been my real passion, and indeed little ediths and andy smiths passion too. what a marvelous era this is for good music. we may still have pure stuff like dub step: pulling in large numbers of sheep, but an equal number of youngsters are being attracted to retro, or at least retro sounding music. people tell me it is because the youth are fed up with computerized music, or men with drug problems angrily shouting at them over a dull repetitive beat, but i know lots of teenagers who have bypassed this muck all together. must be the internet that is helping kill off the demand for empty music. you no longer need to go to a retro club night, or indeed search out rare records to be exposed to good music, the internet is full of the stuff. my fifteen year old daughter is a marc bolan fan who while researching the poor fellows influences discovered chuck berry, sun records, etc, etc. i dont really know or understand why so many are at last getting into the good stuff, but they are, and it is wonderful for the likes of me.
