for more than ten years soul jazz records have been exploring and documenting the sound of new orleans funk. now we turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - new orleans soul. these two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the citys enormous rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. new orleans soul incorporated the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of the second-line parade bands and the latinized rhythms of the city. this album tells the story of new orleans soul and comes complete with extensive sleevenotes, exclusive photography, supreme sound quality and comes as super-heavy, super-loud limited-edition double vinyl album + download code.

wiederauflage als vinyl-edition! von künstler willie mitchell 1971 für hi-records unter vertrag genommen, entwickelte sich syl johnson neben al green und ann peebles zu einem der erfolgreichsten soul-künstler des labels. -total explosion- ist sein populärstes solo-album und enthält den größten hit -take me to the river-. dieses stück gibt es auch in einer interpretation von al green, jedoch ist syl johnsons version deutlich langsamer eingespielt, so dass diese eine gänzlich andere wirkung entfaltet. syl johnsons tochter ist die r&b-sängerin syleena johnson, die er bis heute künstlerisch berät und begleitet.

der sechste teil der fantastic voyage-serie soul city, die sich mit der musik in verschiedenen schlüsselstädten beschäftigt, als r&b zu soul wurde, befasst sich mit new orleans. die sammlung von 60 songs auf 2 cds und 28 songs auf 2lps wurde von der soul-autorität clive richardson zusammengestellt und annotiert.

it is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of santería and vaudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. we here present cut hands and festival of the dead.

klinke auf cinch gelingt der spagat zwischen klassischer konzertsituation und fordender clubmusik. klinke auf cinch steht einmal mehr für beeindruckend tiefen sound in aufnahme und konzert. jedes kleinste geräusch, jede große geste wird kunstvoll gesetzt, findet platz zum atmen, liebe im detail. klinke auf cinch ist bei sich. highs & hills macht vor, wie brilliant musik klingen kann.

alec troniq is upgrading electronic music in his very own dimension. especially in summer, when the night has gone and all the world seems like daydreaming.

inside these airless sarcophagi, the passing of time renders objects once forged from molten metals as fragile as paper, so delicate a gust of wind could destroy them for ever. once deadly weapons now oxidised to dust are proof of the futility of man in the face of time. all regimes will crumble over years, all empires turn to dust…the more potent an object in its former life, the more poignancy in its nebulous disintegration. the shattered radio controls, the gun turned to a rusted block like a child s toy, the bullets corroded to nothing are all exiled from their brutal pasts. what messages are locked in time that passed through the obliterated decoding machine, who alive if anyone can tell its secrets.

raucous, volatile, crackling brilliance from north japan, testing the monster-infested electric fencing between techno and noise. plus some witching, spasming, dancefloor eomac to polish you off.

*friendly bacteria* ist das erste reguläre studioalbum von mr. scruff seit dem 2008 erschienenen *ninja tuna*. mitte mai wird das album via ninja tune erscheinen und am 31.05. im londoner roundhouse mit freunden und gästen inmitten eines besonderen abends präsentiert. gestärkt und erfrischt durch seine lange studiopause, zeigt *friendly bacteria* den weltweit hochgeschätzten platten-afficinado, dj und produzenten in einer eher reflektierenden stimmung. sein album beschreibt er kurz und bündig als *tough, sparser, less samples, more bass. more vocals and collaborations and shorter tunes*. *render me*, der erste vorbote aus dem album, ist exemplarisch für die atmosphäre auf *friendly bacteria*. ein schleichender und gefühlvoller groove unterlegt die stimme von denis jones. scruff traf jones vor etwa fünf jahren, während dieser amp fiddler in liverpool supportete. nach diversen treffen und einigen jam-sessions wurde beschlossen, dass der singer/songwriter und multi-instrumentalist denis jones einen erheblichen beitrag am album leisten wird. desweiteren kann das album mit hochkarätigen gästen aufwarten, darunter house-legende robert owens und vanessa freeman!
