it all began with a licensing inquiry for a sister funk cut which we wanted to include on our deep funk comp titled �feeling nice vol. 3�. after the deal was completed producer fred forsh mentioned that the backing band of nadine brown�s masterpiece �leave me alone� had released a 45 themselves under their name teakwood. after mr. forsh played us both sides we knew that this 45 would have to be re-issued. what was about to follow nobody of us ever expected. mr. forsh told us that teakwood recorded almost a dozen of songs which were supposed to be released on a full length album. for unspecified reasons the album was never released and it remained in the can for almost 40 years. finally, we are very proud to announce the release of teakwood�s debut album �a distant star� in early 2017. until then you have to be content with this 45 rpm single re-issue.

a pivotal moment in 20th century politics, history and culture the november 22nd 1963 assassination of president john f. kennedy (in dallas, texas) produced a mountainous range of forgotten, discarded and ghostly vinyl artifacts. country songs, private-press lamentations, mournful poetry and violent political diatribes were rushed onto rough-hewn 45s and marginal lps that vied to be heard above the noise and confusion.

the album was written, produced, and distributed in garys hometown baltimore, between 1986 and 1987. after a break from performing while getting belated college degrees, gary returned to performing in the early 21st century, back to the singer/songwriter style of his past. gary feels that the generic art ensemble/original soundtrack days gave him an ability to open up his writing. his recent albums feature guitar, but many songs do have keyboards added to give them a fuller, less folky sound.

mit ihrem debüt-album -the visitor- verwebt kadhja bonet elegant jazz, folk, funk, psychedelia, klassische streicherarrangements und soul. das ergibt eine eigenartige, gleichwohl verlockende mischung. die aus los angeles stammende musikerin hat eine samtweiche stimme, die dazu beiträgt, den songs eine seltsam entrückte stimmung zu verleihen. medien haben sich an einer beschreibung der bonet schen klangwelten versucht, beschreiben luzide tagträume, verorten die musik gleichzeitig in der vergangenheit wie der zukunft, öffnen genre-schublanden von folk bis soul, denken an bond-soundtracks, träumen von film-scores zu filmen, die erst noch zu drehen wären. -portrait of tracy- borgt sich eine melodie von jaco pastorius, ansonsten ist das werk komplett von kadhja bonet komponiert, getextet, arrangiert und aufgenommen.

four never before released or publicly available demo cuts from the writing sessions of craig peyton and jolyon skinner circa 1983-1985. the duo produced and wrote hits for artists in between working on their own projects. these songs survived the past 30 years on a cassette tape, which was lovingly transferred for this exclusive to peyton records release. after their short but fruitful collaborative period, peyton went on as a writer and band leader and skinner went on to have a career as a songwriter for pop acts such as joe, nsync, and freddie jackson. in the words of craig peyton: �jolyon skinner and i met in the early �80s through our mutual friend keith diamond (the trinidadian producer of hits such as �caribbean queen� by billy ocean). after we met, jolyon and i started regular writing sessions at my nyc p-factor studio. our first break came in 1983 with howard johnson�s �let this dream be real-. that was followed up with �love of a lifetime� by melba moore and �where ya gonna be tonight� for will collins. after this we were offered a recording deal by april blackwood music, but due to my contract with profile records at the time we couldn�t accept it. shortly after skinner got signed to zomba and we stopped writing together around 1985.

black atlass is quite literally the only artist on earth to soundtrack louis vuitton and yves saint laurent ads while featuring on action bronson songs. this diverse appeal is a testament to the captivating voice of alex fleming, the young singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and who created black atlass as a vehicle for his unique vocals, heart on-sleeve lyrics and experimental production techniques. following the well-received paris single and young bloods ep (the latter a personal favorite of visionary director woodkid, who created mind-bending visuals for single jewels featuring fleming and supermodel anja rubik) and the three singles released over the past year, haunted paradise, tonight, and island love, black atlass is finally ready to drop his full-length debut.

ursprünglich 2007 erschienen, konzentriert sich das von gareth jones produzierte werk auf hymnischen synthie-pop, der in der produktion zeitweise mit modernem techno flirtet. durch andy bells stimme, die gefühlvollen soul nicht scheut, bleiben die songs aber durch die bank pop im besten sinne des begriffes.

konzept des werkes ist es klassische erasure-songs neu als country- oder akustik-versionen einzuspielen, diese lieder damit komplett aus ihrem elektro-pop-korsett zu lösen. damit werden die songs auf ihre essenz reduziert, das songwriting rückt in das zentrum der wahrnehmung. erasure-juwelen wie boy und piano song in versionen mit akustik- oder steel-pedal-gitarre zu hören, ist jedenfalls ein großes vergnügen.

most excellent unlimiteds series of 45s celebrating the 45th year of danny krivits career continues with a blast of two heavyweight cuts that, to borrow the parlance of the era from which they came, are bonafide sure shots. wood, brass & steels *funkanova* a jazz-funk masterpiece and loft classic that was liberally sampled in the house world (black science orchestra, terrence parker, the bucketheads), is pared down to its most joyous elements. from the intro, a typical krivit maestros detail of an opening bass slide prefacing hands-in-the-air cascades of iconic horns and keys, to the echo of the last notes, its a perfect edit immaculately tailored for dj usage. the flip delves deeper into new york city dance history with a rough and rugged beat- down of a proto-disco, b-boy classic: boobie knight & the universal ladys * sex*. displaying his usual knack of going straight for the jugular, krivit takes the songs siren-call-to-the-dance floor horn riff as his starting point, peeling off another layer to the floor-shaking bass and drums before bringing it all back to the top with a perfectly placed drum roll that will have flash disciples fiending for doubles. solidifying this blazing double-sider is the fact that neither of these essential cuts has ever appeared in seven-inch form. another most excellent unlimited sure shot!

ethimms second ep when in dark delivers the groups signature tension music with moods oscillating between suicidal heartbreak and conciliatory optimism. in the opening track why (a cover of the rhythm and sound classic), producer elisabeth thimm sets the stage for guest singer veronique to mourn love s loss, while brian gimmel s improvised piano licks hold strong agains the songs relentless bassline. the follow-up track late features lexx s dreamy lyrics gracing a subtle dance foor tune for spaced-out souls. the b side opens with ethimms love for dub. next is a freaked-out meditation on what has been and will be, while the fnal track done slowly creeps towards its peak, refecting on dark days where light may have not been much in sight, but going forward sees optimism, increased resolution, and drive.

avesom (name inspired by the dog of justin bennett, the sound technician that mixed the album) are creations produced during long reharsals sessions that have taken place mostly during sunsets and late nights. there torakiki inmersed themselves in a trip where the music achievable with their own finger was tested, rejecting in advance any programming. the overall sound of the album follow the path of the previous ep, halfway between the new wave and ambient. the band aims references from aphex twin, liars, jamie xx and on the other side, classical sounds from the italian song. in the album participate the voice of ilaria ippolito (# #pap ) and of gulia olivari (o.a.u.). the video of luxard was shot by giovanni aloi in a park in hong kong.
