a rough guide to cape town jazz on limited vinyl lp.

the shapeshifters’ studio mastery and dedication to his craft has resulted in singles that stand up alongside golden era disco records as much as they sound fresh on dancefloors today. his rich relationship with glitterbox has yielded instant classics that epitomise the label’s ethos for preserving disco’s mission to uplift and empower, especially with his latest release and debut collaboration with the grammy, tony and emmy award-winning billy porter, ‘finally ready’. now, another of the label’s nearest and dearest, dimitri from paris, steps up to remix the shapeshifters’ latest on a special 7” vinyl package. co-written with billy as a declaration of pride, dimitri adds his signature stylish flare onto the suitably theatrical original. split into two parts, pt. i on the a-side keeps billy’s unmistakable vocal at centre stage, with funk-fuelled organ chords and rich keys bringing dimitri’s sound of paris. on the flip, pt. ii is a more stripped back version, allowing the classic disco instrumentals to really shine, as a previously unheard and powerful spoken-word vocal from billy narrates along with improvised vocals taken from the studio recordings. expertly crafted and brimming with emotion, the joyful message of ‘finally ready’ rings true through billy’s lyrics on both mixes, as dimitri from paris brings a new dimension to this dancefloor essential.

2019 reissue - intricately layered, smooth, alluring, and infinitely welcoming – those are words used to describe david bowies 2002 album heathen.
co-produced by tony visconti, who also produced many of bowies best albums (space oddity, heroes, the man who sold the world, and many others), heathen sounds like coming home. it combines the best of bowie without re-hashing what made him big in the first place, and effortlessly weaves modern production & electronics into his sound.
the original vinyls of this release can go for up to € 200 online, so it was an easy decision for music on vinyl to make this highlight of bowies work available again to those with smaller budgets.

the 80s italo disco /proto-house classic ‘mbo theme’ by the mighty klein & mbo, repressed! comes with an heavy (and unheard) south african version on the flip. huge tip! the mbo theme (1983) has been a dance floor favorite since decades, created by mario boncaldo and tony carrasco - the legendary italian/us duo klein & mbo. the track got support in nyc and chicago by greats as larry levan, frankie knuckles and ron hardy.
the rare version on the flip is created by a south-african band called warrior. rush hour explain how they came across the track: “we bumped into this version on a south african record digging trip. it took us a few months to realize the scarcity of this version. ian osrin, a well respected engineer in south-africa who was involved in many 80ties and 90ties bubblegum, kwaito and south african disco records, explained us about music distribution in south africa during apartheid.

heat in two belgian flavors! check out the zaïrian electronic dance floor banger “nakombe nga” by les choc stars. comes with the dope, largely unheard belgium new beat version on the flip from the teknokrat s. both tracks were originally released in 1989 and this is the first time they appear together on 12-. reissue co-curated with renowned record fiend john gomez. the music on this winning double-sider was written by tony baron and gery françois, two belgian producers that were involved in several musical projects on the new beat scene in the 1980s. they worked under many aliases and recorded the teknokrat’s haunting “what did she say?” at the famous studio madeleine in brussels in 1989. prompted by jean martin from espera records, baron adapted the music into a further two songs to be released that year, virginity’s melancholic “the key”, and the surprising but ear catching collaboration with the label’s soukous stars, ben nyamabos les choc stars du zaire. it is still a mystery how the seeds were planted for the one-off pairing that culminated in the electronic soukous bomb “nakombe nga”. what is certain is that it is set to light up dancefloors worldwide.

official repress on 12inch of these sought after charly kingson tunes. the label says: charly kingson, (ps. for charlie kingue soppo) is a legend of afro-funk who managed to shake the entire continent up with his infamous 1978 lp, born in africa. often forgotten when conversations turn to afro-dance, and the likes of tony allen or fela kuti, he has been an incredible source of inspiration to many musicians exploring the funkier side of jazz-dance, and this album itself goes way beyond any traditional notion of tropical discotheque. -born in african- itself is a funky groover for the dancefloor and here is the original 1982 remix, made by dutch legendary percussionist eddie conard available again, featuring nimele bolo on the flip-side. released in 1982 on ariola/fleet, but also pressed on the original fleet label. the latter (remarkably with identical catalog-number) never saw daylight. but, we got them all! all in all, this hard to find 12 inch (at discogs copies on the ariola/fleet label go for around 250 euro) was recently re-discovered, and now you can finally enjoy it again

das legendäre jamaikanische label trojan records feiert bereits seinen 50. geburtstag und veröffentlicht mit »ska & reggae classics« eine neue compilation mit den größten hits des labels, nun auch auf 2xlp!
im juli 1968 eröffnete das jamaikanische label mit sitz in london, trojan records, das geschäft und innerhalb von monaten nach seiner gründung wurde der aufregende neue reggae-sound einem weltweiten publikum vorgestellt. im laufe der nächsten jahre stand trojan für eine reihe von weltweiten mainstream-charthits durch legendäre künstler wie desmond dekker, ken boothe, john holt, the maytals, bob & marcia und dave & ansel collins. zudem legte trojan den karrieregrundstein für die zukünftigen superstars des reggae bob marley, dennis brown und gregory isaacs.

as well as all the jazz and funk, best italy are also dab hands at digging out italo disco gems that pretty much qualify as proto house jams for their heavy spinning by the seminal chicago djs like ron hardy. this essential transmission from amnesie is a fine case in point, a one hit wonder originally released in 1983 appropriately enough on proto records. now turas makes a welcome return, sounding resplendent in both vocal and instrumental versions, but the real treat for the dedicated diggers is the previously unreleased dub version mixed by legendary dj tony carrasco. thats the jam that will have eclectic spinners getting in a lather.

after putting out kito jempere s well received sea monsters album last year, hell yeah now serve up another selection of remixes of it. accomplished musician jimi tenor, plus miskotom and max essa all contribute before a 7inch, also taken from the album, lands later in summer. first up is jimi tenor, the legndary finnish musician who has released on warp, collaborated with tony allen and has his own band as well as occasionally playing sax with kito jempere band at live gigs. he flips puzzled into five minutes of stripped back and moody electronics with plenty of his own flute playing in the track. busted drum sounds, spooky sci-fi synths and scattered hits make it woozy and late night and utterly absorbing. miskotom—a newly emerging pair made up of mik and his wife andra, both based in vilnius, lithuania with credits on pleasure unit and balearic —then reimagine ampa as a beatdown but of deep house with trudging drums staying low and shimmering synths drift out in all directions. crunchy hits bring a subtle sense of funk and reverb drenched vocals bring a heavenly feel to the soul drenched grooves and summery keys. then comes max essa, the japan based brit who is a regular on this label as well as the likes of is it balearic?. his first remix is a huge one that is sure to soundtrack many a boat party this summer. it s a gorgeous rework of ampa that puts achingly blissful vocals front and centre as low slung bass and slowly turning drums sink you into a pan-pipe laced reverie. secondly, essa offers a dub reprise that removes the vocals and places all the focus on his churning drums and new age grooves. this is another perfect package of masterfully electronic horizontal sounds.

in einer limitierten neuauflage gibt es dieses gesuchte album von 1982 noch einmal zum erschwinglichen preis. aufgenommen im channel one studio mit der roots radics band, und im king tubby’s studio abgemischt, entstand hier vielleicht das beste dubalbum von prince jammy der frühen 80er. für das artwork war tony mcdermott verantwortlich, der u.a. die cover für die legendären scientist-alben kreierte.

acupressurist and electronic composer sam mcclellan s music of the five elements is a work of perfectly tuned healing music. originally released in 1982. tip! . a deeply felt distillation minimalism (in the tony conrad / la monte young school), american primitive guitar (fahey & basho) and even psychedelia. the album is a continuous sound voyage for voice, synthesizer, guitar, bowed bass, piano, effects and ciao (chinese flute) all played by mcclellan himself. although divided into sections, the journey is best undertaken as a whole, without distraction
