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.

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they dont mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks they d still be walking around eating grass.

fantastic voyage’s autumn 2015 release of soul for dancers proved so successful, that we didn’t have to think twice when lois wilson (mojo, record collector) asked if she could do it all over again. it turns out that there were plenty more classic sides in her dj crates, drawing on that rich seam of early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues, of the sort that would have packed the dancefloors on the sixties club scene, or has been embraced by subsequent generations of club soul diehards.

melting pot music veröffentlicht. die juice vergibt 5 von 6 kronen, macht die platte zum album des monats und stellt fest: *Österreich hat einen neuen rapmessias.* noisy erklärt den jungen mc aus salzburger zum *könig des progressiven alpenswags* und sieht in *kirsch* *nicht weniger als die blaupause für deutschsprachigen based-rap vor. ein magnum opus des swag-rap.* und was macht crack ignaz? er verzieht sich mit superproducer wandl ins lab und veröffentlicht keine sechs monate nach *kirsch* ein zweites album. die platte heißt *geld leben* und wird einige leute hart vor den kopf stoßen. statt mehr autotune, mehr cloudige synthflächen und mehr trapbeats schneidert wandl ihm einen samplelastigen soundteppich der mehr *pinata* als *hotline bling* ist. warum macht crack ignaz das? weil er es kann und zwar so gut, wie gerade kaum ein anderer deutschsprachiger mc. und weil er einen dings drauf gibt, was dein bruder und dein vater dazu sagen. swag!

erfolg ist wie david bowie: dünn und gut (erfolg) erfolg ist aber auch: johannes von weizsäcker, den manche als mitglied der london-berliner popgruppe the chap kennen dürften. hier wagt er sich an deutsche texte. auf dem gleichnamigen albumdebüt erfolg singen erfolg und der beste damenchor aller zeiten nun couragiert gegen das leben an. das album enthält betrachtungen zu pop-festivals, flüchtlingslagern, dem internet, zu ideenreichtum, sekt, negativität und natürlich zu erfolg. es enthält tragik, verwirrung und trockenheit, melodisch eingängige, rhythmisch erbauliche popmusik und sogar ein rockgitarren-solo. aber auch die große sehnsucht kommt nicht zu kurz, wie etwa in der techno-elegie klaviermann oder der selbsthilfe-hymne erfolg. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive cd-version des albums.

the second of the three vinyl eps featuring tracks from perc trax’s ‘slowly exploding’ compilation groups together three of the label’s main artists and closes with a producer making his perc trax debut. the a1 slot goes to label boss perc, whose ‘hyperlink’ builds on the sound of the dancefloor tracks of his last album with a huge kick giving way to swooping 8-bit chords whilst sawf’s ‘goves’, already tried and tested by perc over the last few months is an unrelenting breakbeat monster. on the b-side truss delivers one of the stand-out tracks of this series, with the surgeon supported analogue juggernaut that is ‘brockweir. closing things off is drvg cvltvre, who lowers the tempo but not the intensity with one of his trademark 303 workouts.

luna records return with the dubbed out ep, a three- track package featuring material from alexkid, rogelio and james hutchison.

for some ageing producers, the nineties represent a lost land of hazy parties, forgotten nights and emotion-tugging tunes. but for the fresher-faced end of the dance music spectrum - such as the la-based dj and producer urulu - those post acid house, pre-mp3 days are a neverland of the imagination, something to be relished vicariously through the mags, memories and music of 20-odd years ago. two years back, urulu - aka taylor freels - even released a single called *1991*. it might have made some grizzled club kids feel a bit old, but the love and euphoria in his music are there for all to hear. but jump right up to the minute, and urulu is back in action for sheffields shabby doll label.
