!!! 2018 repress !!! of nu guinea�s outstanding �world� ep � the neapolitan duo is set to release new material on tartelet later in the year as part of the labels 10 th anniversary. the beautifully dislocated bougainvilles live lays out some warm analogue textures across a live percussion base, while the vocal edit of title track nu world ploughs a similar furrow to obscure 80�s afro-disco, with rich musical synth work over a pacey afro groove and undeniable jazz-funk flair. the flute mix passes over the vocal refrain from mix one and just gets down and wigs-out on those solos - an absolute killer! exotica dance club sounds like herbie visited the salsoul studios with his banks of analogue gear and jammed out into the small hours, as we head home on the beatless outro, all synth washes and lavish ear candy.

too $hort�s legendary 1992 effort �shorty the pimp� is back in effect on vinyl thanks to the hip hop preservationist at get on down. though many don�t consider this to be one of too $hort�s strongest releases, the project did move well over 80.000 in its first week of release landing at number 6 on the billboard top 200. taking the title from the incredibly rare 1973 blaxploitation film, too $hort does what he does best on shorty the pimp: funk beats, oastful braggadocio, a few conscious rhymes and layers of straight up pimp talk. the lyrical content can certainly be considered comical and entertaining. �shorty the pimp� is also a stand out project for producer ant banks who did many of the beats for the project, his first works with too $hort with many more to follow over the next decade. oddly enough, one of the best comments on �shorty the pimp� comes from a random guy on the internet who commented on his experience listening to the release, �i ran my car into a tree after listening to �it don�t stop� definitely made for cars with the booming systems!�

daniel terndrup ist ein in los angeles ansässiger dj, produzent und langjähriger plattensammler, der zu einer lokalen autorität vergangener musik geworden ist. er ist regelmäßiger gastgeber in radiosendungen auf dublab (crosseyed & painless) und nts (heat-wave) und veranstaltet gleichzeitig eine wöchentliche party für heat-wave in zusammenarbeit mit wyatt potts im ehemaligen hollywood stripclub gold digger. daniel begann vor einem jahrzehnt als eine hälfte von cosmic kids musik zu machen. neben ron poznansky machte er sich einen namen mit berauschenden house und astral dance tunes auf kultlabels wie throne of blood, let s play house und dfa. das duo remixte auch namhafte künstler wie the rapture, holy ghost!, poolside und superhumanoids. nach einer handvoll veröffentlichungen mit cosmic kids wendete er sich eigenen projekten als daniel t. zu. sein solo-output ist inspiriert von allem, was sich beim durchblättern seiner plattensammlung findet: funk, post punk, new age und pop (z.b. compass point all stars oder yellow magic orchestra). die musik, die er als daniel t. veröffentlicht, spiegelt seinen globalen geschmack wieder, ist aber unauslöschlich gefiltert durch seine südkalifornische umgebung. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

n8noface was the vocalist for underground synth-punk legends crimekillz. he is the younger brother of tucson-bred modern boogie rocket man zackey force funk, both now residing in long beach, ca.in 2017, hit+run released n8�s visceral debut album stories of those, as well as demos and demons vol. 1, a ten-track collection of home demos recorded between 2015-2016. on dia de los muertos 2017, noface also unleashed the first single from his forthcoming new album true story, the haunting double a-side lathe cut �idgaf / say goodbye.�
true story, the 14-track lp due this august, reads like a collection of compelling mini-narratives, brief yet honest tales of personal struggles, anti-establishment rants, dead end loves, and real-life tragedies. n8�s minimal wave sound is not about nostalgic lo-fi nor home-recorder formulas, but his own instinctive style that defies categorization and comparisons. the result is a distinct sound of rapid-fire hardcore punk moshing with awkward pop music. standout tracks on the dense 18-minute album include �not like you�, �bad day�, �men who dress well� and �glasgow smile�.

kein geringerer als lenny kravitz meldet sich 2018 zurück auf der bildfläche des rock. im gepäck hat der sänger, songwriter und produzent sein neues album »raise vibration«. vier jahre haben fans auf den nachfolger von »strut« (2014) warten müssen. dass sich das warten gelohnt hat, bewies kravitz bereits vorab mit der ersten singleauskopplung, dem fast achtminütigen gesellschafts- und politikkritischen protestsong »it�s enough« mitsamt brisant-bewegenden ausschnitten im musikvideo. das lied zeigt kravitz von einer neuen seite. ansonsten bewegt sich »raise vibration« zwischen psychedelischem funk, rock, blues, country und soul, zwischen kraftvoller hymne und gefühlvoller pianoballade mit streichereinsatz.
