the formula was simple: marry bubblegum and soul to the absolute sincerity of an enthusiastic child, cross your fingers and pray for airplay. but while the youthful sums of that formula may have grown up and walked away from their illusions of stardom, their permanent records remain. by 1973, michael, tito, jermaine, marlon and jackie were as hip as kids could get—household names, with lunchboxes, coloring books, a saturday morning cartoon, and an alpha-bits cereal commercial pushing the j5 brand onto any kid with television reception. their impressive run of four consecutive #1 singles playing on both pop and r&b stations cemented their appeal to both whites and blacks, prompting mgm to launch the osmonds as the safer (read: white) alternative. and parents? well michael had that wrapped up with his impossible-not-to-love mini-james brown thing. even their song selection straddled both sides, with “zip a dee do dah” and “abc” for kids, and contemporary standards “standing in the shadows of love” and “my cherie amour” for the older crowd. this extreme marketing and merchandising juggernaut created the kid soul explosion. a decade removed from our acclaimed home schooled compilation comes a fresh batch of talent show titans. with enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like magical connection, little man and the inquires, and five ounces of soul emulated the jacksons, who’d made grade-school stardom appear easy as abc. afterschool special: the 123s of kid soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual d.a.r.e. anthem, to james brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

bob marley is still immensely popular, even 20 years after his passing. reason enough for music on vinyl to reissue bob marley & the wailers 1974 album >natty dread<.
the oft-covered >no woman, no cry<, the infectious and captivatingly cool >lively up yourself<, the ska-inclined >rebel music<: this is just a hint at what >natty dread< has to offer.
we cant expect any new bob marley songs, but we can gladly rediscover his classics over and over again. time to put these tunes on heavy rotation!

emilie nanas wunderbares albumdebüt -the meeting legacy- wird flankiert von einem fesselnden remix-package mit remixen von manoo, beanfield & thomas herb und floyd lavine. manoo schiebt emilie nanas 80ies - janet jackson & prince - inspirierte music in richtung dancefloor und legt mit seinem bouncenden soulful groove das fundament für ein lebhaftes intermezzo aus melodien, das von emilies charismatischen vocals noch getoppt wird. der nanadub kommt etwas mächtiger und repetitiver, behält aber eine subtile verspieltheit bei. beanfield & thomas herb verwandeln das nana-eske bass-monster -tolstoy changes- in ein fettes und zugleich hypnotisierend-treibendes house-epos. floyd lavines technoide version des -black panther party--inspirierten titeltracks -the meeting legacy- ist reduziert-funktional und projiziert den kontext von sowohl revolution als auch party-hedonismus gekonnt und ehrlich auf den basement floor.

motor city. the home of hi-tek soul. or simply, the origin. just a few of the names with which to descibe a city in the heart of america that has the power to captivate ones imagination. in the early 20th century it revolutionized transport, ushered in an age of previously unknown mobility and became the automotive capital of the world. during the 60s it gave us motown, one of the most influential r&b and soul record labels to ever exist. and, before the turn of the millennium, it would bring forth another musical revolution: the one called techno music. to abstract division, the city of detroit and its artists are a major source of inspiration. as such, they decided their newest metropolis ep was to be an hommage, a means of giving back. this special package includes an original track that keeps close to the spirit of melodic, rhythmic, minimalism detroit is known for. it also features three very special remixes by close friends oscar mulero - under his trolley route alias (which he hasnt released music under since 2010) - function, who ups the darker ante and marcel fengler who infuses it with his trademark berlin funk.
