having produced one third of nas generation-defining illmatic, large professors place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. when you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of main source - or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like pete rock, a tribe called called quest, busta rhymes, mobb deep, masta ace, and big daddy kane - it is crystal clear that the mans influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
with fat beats records’ release of re:living, large professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. *i m moving forward,* large says, *but i went back to an earlier formula. with this project i feel like it is the closest that i take it back to that main source style.*
featuring roc marciano, inspectah deck, cormega, g-wiz, fortune, and lord jamar, re:living shines a spotlight on new yorks best voices from the golden era to today. but above all, large professor lets his production do the talking - and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.

with frankie rothstein, his first album on fat beats records which features production from the likes of j rocc, j dilla and dj rhettmatic, l.a. based, detroitbred mc frank nitt brings his distinguished, decadeslong careerfull-circle, packing his inimitable style and years of industry-hardened grit in with a newfound maturity and growth.

coming out of south london via sheffield, breaker breaker is a fledgling project headed up by haider masroor a.k.a ds1.

the fat white family need no introduction and ez-ra & lamik are one half of decius… decius is a collaboration between acid house superstars paranoid london, ez-ra & lamik and lias saoudi the vocalist from the fat white family. their first release 3 months ago *come to me villa / gay futures* was described by ivan smagghe as *the best record of 2014* and is currently still at number 4 in the clone top 10. keeping it in the family, ez-ra & lamik have reworked two of their favourite fat white family tracks, it just seemed rude not to.

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.

syl johnsons karriere nahm etliche wendungen. zunächst verstand sich sylvester thompson als blues-sänger und tourte mit legenden wie howlin wolf durch die staaten. erst später - durch die entdeckung von hi-records - nahm er sich der soul musik und des pseudonyms syl johnson an, mit dem er weltberühmt werden sollte

o.v. wrights album -into something- wurde von hi-records qualitativ so hoch eingeschätzt, dass man den künstler mit den besten voraussetzungen für die aufnahmen ausstattete: memphis horns and strings bilden die backing-band, ein gewisser james brown spielt piano, und die besten background-sänger aus den eigenen studios wurden verpflichtet. o.v. wright, der ja zuvor schon mit al green und ann peebles aufgenommen hatte, nutze die gunst der stunde und produzierte dieses kleine soul-juwel und überzeugt zudem mit seinem einzigartigen gesang.

house shoes is proud to present the first-ever physical release of the instrumental version of danny browns hot soup, his debut album released in 2008 prior to the release of the hybrid. featuring production by quelle chris, nick speed, and danny brown himself, hot soup immediately propelled danny brown into hip-hops national consciousness and solidifed him as one of detroit’s most electrifying live performers.

jerry williams jr. alias swamp dogg ist ein echter exzentriker unter den soul-legenden. in dem wissen, dass eine außergewöhnliche biographie die halbe miete ist, verlieh er sich nivht nur seinen spitznamen, sondern behauptete zeitlebens er habe nie die schule besucht (stimmt nicht!) und sei eines morgens aufgewacht und habe gewusst, er sei ein -musikalisches genie- (kommt schon eher hin). jedenfalls arbeitete er als produzent, songwriter und studio-musiker für andere soul-musiker, bevor er sich eigenen songs widmete. und obwohl musik-kritiker vergleiche zu curtis mayfield und quincy jones bemühten, war ihm der große erfolg doch nie beschieden. dazu war er dann doch eine nummer zu abgehoben.

the sexiest dj duo on wheels steers their way back into the hearts of house music fans everywhere with -what you believe,- a 2-track vinyl-only ep. this sixth installment shows a different side of the duo... here, in contrast to their past vocal collaborations with corbu, gry and bob moses, they opt for a pair of lush dancefloor instrumentals, delivering their most dj-friendly package to date.

berlin techno was the big thing over the last years, but you might know that in german cites like hamburg and munich there is a huge growing experimental house scene. hamburgs diynamic records crew or munich artists such as sascha sibler (innervisions) or cocolores (exploited) are equally well respected as the big names from berlin. one of the fresh new labels is toy tonics from munich and the raising stars of the labels are rhode & brown.
