das ist die dritte veröffentlichung vom label funk injacktion records aus berlin als kollaboration von d. instructed und froyd. eine skurrile mischung aus rudimentärem industrial samba und free jazz artefakten frei von der leber weg und säurefestem electrofunk . einigen freunden der elektronischen musik ist sicher noch der name autopilot vom label elektrolux aus frankfurt bekannt. das projekt d. instructed steht für eine freie herangehensweise an analoge instrumente bzw drums . aus den jams und der improvisation entstehen die tracks genauso wie bei froyd, über die ehemalige stadtgrenze berlins hinaus. aus der ehemaligen ost-west-wurzel entstand ein neues mutterschiff für den märkischen funk.
carthago wurde in den späten 1970er jahren als eine fusion von dalton und einer zweiten band namens marhaba band gegründet. beide bands spielten häufig in hotels und nachtclubs in tunis und sousse. musikalisch wandelte carthago auf dem musikalischen pfad von dalton und marhaba weiter, nahm jedoch disco-musik-einflüsse auf, die damals aus europa und nordamerika auch nach nordafrika durchdrangen. die ep enthält neben den raren originalen auch die unveröffentlichten instrumentals und erscheint mit einem 8-seitigen booklet sowie mp3-download-coupon.
das prignitzkombinat ist zurueck mit einem neuen release ihres labels zum eigenen club, dem aggregat. nach dem sehr guten ersten release auf aggregat concept series mit dem schwerpunkt techno, rückt mit dieser veroeffentlichung house in den vordergrund. funk fetisch liefert hier mit dieser ep zwei feine tracks seiner definition von house ab. der track >gotta get down< zeigt deutlich seine einfluesse aus den verschiedenen genres des klassischen housesounds, typische skippy beats, jazzy chords und discofilter loops bilden hier das house. bei >black is beautiful< behaelt funk fetisch diesen charakter, allerdings wirkt alles insgesamt moderner. groovige beats und eine tiefe bassline bilden das bett für atmosphaerische warme pads, akzentuierte chords und verspielte melodielaeufe. james johnstons (no matter what) remix zu >gotta get down< geht direkt in die beine, straight, fokussiert und sehr kraftvoller house, der zeigt, dass der mann aus glasgow sein handwerk aeußerst gut versteht. danke james! p.s.: this ep is dedicated to all the lovely people from the diamond s kitchen in northallerton, uk
future times is proud to present a fascinating, brutal 12 inch from brazilian producer japa habilidoso, aka guerrhina from 40% foda/maneirissimo crew!! a side * funk do sindicalismo* goes for relentless, almost abusive rhythm collage, this cut is the most punk shit that ft has so far had the pleasure of releasing. ruff rugged n raw!!! the flip, * agronomia setorial* , cuts more dance and djshapes, and rides bugged piano loops and a collage of voices and noises to perfection. this is one for the mutants!
low-down and dirty jazz goes right back to the early 1900s in storyville, after the bands had played their hot tunes in the evening for dancing couples, the musicians would head off to the after-hours joints and play a less energetic but more bluesy kind of music, enabling them and their late-night audiences to get through to the early hours of the morning without suffering total exhaustion. and nobody in new orleans laid into the blues so low down and dirty as buddy bolden, whose funky butt became a staple in the repertoire of the citys early jazz bands.
jacksonville, florida, 1960. charles hungry williams mentors young clayton fillyau after he had just joined the james brown band: *i dont care where you put it on those drums, remember where 1 is and you ll never lose the time. listen to hungry on huey smiths *talk to me baby* and then listen to how clayton turns it into a relentless breakbeat on james browns *i ve got money*. earl kings *trick bag*, prefiguring the meters, is as good an example of early new orleans funk as can be found.
this 7 inch record released by lo fi funk records contains two skweee tracks which are going deeper in the main lines that this artist has been developing in previous productions. poly july is low tempo track with vibrant synth lines built over a minimalist rnb drums base, resulting in an hipnotic beat with pure funky flashes. moon braggin is full of huge sub bass waves, typical of the new club music and crazy, doubled tempo percussion tracks which forms a mental song, with an epic atmosphere made with floatting oriental synthesizers tunes.
visit bristol and mention the name mensah, chances are that someones going to know the man we are talking about. having become involved in the bristol music scene at an early age, theres no surprise that his productions epitomize the things associated with the citys music ? positivity and progressiveness. having already lent the bouncy number, pulse 80s, to the hench mixtape vol. 1, and getting voted in the as one of the top 10 producers to watch in the dubstep forum awards, mensah provides us with yet more reason to mark him down as one to keep an eye on in the future. the untitled future funk ep is a 6 track release that provides a true insight into the depth of studio-skills this young artist has developed, touching on both the atmospheric and downright funky sides of dubstep. already having had a track placed on the csi tv series (stapleton rd) and with all tracks receiving regular play from the scenes big hitters, we?e excited to present this stunning effort from mensah
