freshly repress - classic

dj paulão (sao paulo) compiles this great document on samba rock from the golden years of brasilian music (1966-1978).

4 track e.p. from the dutch producer jameszoo. a perfect blend between spiritual sounds and modern experimental beatmaking!

from the 1970s, people in the caribbean coast of colombia, became captivated by a host of african rhythms. records brought in by merchant sailors from africa, became the new craze, with local sound systems, becoming the main driving force behind the popularity of african music in the region. record labels, seeing an opportunity to capitalize on this new phenomenon, began hiring local bands and creating new lineups to cover and re-adapt these african styles into spanish

hits with the africa 70s

le mystere jazz de tombouctou were formed in 1956 by a group friends playing goumbe music,the indigenous dance music played across french west africa

loving executed third album by build an ark. sounding like classic 70s folk jazz! well reccomended! build an ark, the los angeles based community of singers, and musicians, release their third album love - and their hearts just keep getting bigger.

huge new 12inch by carlos ninos build an ark - a preview of the forthcoming album that will be released in the autumn of 2009. the horns are back and baa come with possibly their most instant track to date, composed by yaakov levy! glorious! the ep also features a version of phil ranelins how do we end all this madness!

build an arks favorite producers have reworked the album dawn which resulted in this crazy 12inch. remixes by daedelus, the long lost, carlos nino, ras g and gb. from dancefloor material to ambient sounds and live recordings, everything is included in this remix package.

never one to get pinned down to a single style, charles has lent his bluesy burnished tone to spiritual jazz heavyweights like john coltrane, rashied ali, and elvin jones, while also complimenting the funk soul brothers and sisters such as donny hathaway, marvin gaye, the ohio players, and rick james - just to hit the tip of the iceberg. while cha cha earnt his rep playing on classics such as curtis mayfield s superfly and freddie s dead and the tempations papa was a rolling stone , it was as a band leader that he was able to combine his free spiritual modes with a funky dip for your hip. kingdom come was his second album for smithsonian folkways back in 1979, and the opener melted soul sets the tone for the lp - a tripped out mixture of funky heavy drums, echoey guitars and modal piano that sounds like some late 70 s sun ra jam, and is far too short for it s own good. elsewhere though, charles loosens out into extended tracks, namely kid zaro , right on , and mr zip , at times sounding like phil cohran or joe mcphee, but keeping a distinct aec or black renaissance style funk to proceedings. kingdom come is cha cha shaw s search to find the common melodies in different disparate styles, and combines abstract free jazz tones with spiritual gospel modes, while jamming over late 70 s funk back beats. way ahead of his time, and still taking cha-cha-chances!

produced by carlos nino, the man behind ammoncontact, whats the science, build an ark and many other projects... featuring gaby hernandez, miguel atwood ferguson and dwight trible.

many marked dorian concept as one of the most promising beat producers of 2008, and now beginning of 2009 when planets explode finally drops.
