released in 1979 queen samantha’s “take a chance” has gone down in disco history as an all time classic. produced by former aphrodite’s child bassist harris halkitis and featuring elongated naked “dj friendly” drum breaks and uplifting vocals and synths the record was sure to be a hit in discotheques on it’s initial release. the record was a huge success and has been sampled, edited and re-appropriated countless times, it even captured the ears and minds of the nascent hip hop movement that was brewing in new yorks bronx neighbourhoods a few years after it’s release with afrika bambaataa including it on his game changing “death mix” session with jazzy jay in 1983. both sides of the 12&#8243,,,,,, are bona-fide disco gold, pairing queen samantha’s soaring vocals with the stripped back, percussion heavy back drop of halkitis and his band. “take a chance” still sounds as fresh, epic and driving today as it did in ‘79 and still finds favour with forward thinking disco dj’s who include it in sets now. this is only one of many underground disco classics that the mighty miami based tk disco label brought to the world, officially re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued in conjunction with joe stone / tk disco

known as pantaleon perez prado, was the younger brother of the famous king of mambo. pantaleon, who came to europe in the 1950s, recorded several albums with unifunk. a powerful big funk band sound featuring: tullio de piscopo, mario rusca, giancarlo barigozzi, pino prestipino and others. escandalo!, as perez prado states in the brief sleeve note, is named after a new rhythm created by himself. *a rhythm you can dance to in freedom, without specific steps*. in spite of this naive launching, the opening track chicago banana is a declaration of intent, with its sly stone-esque groove. 9 out of 12 tracks are originals credited to composers of the unifunk circle, but the track list is careful to preserve prados well-established latin appeal, by including three standards such as brazil, el manisero and tequila.

low-down and dirty jazz goes right back to the early 1900s in storyville, after the bands had played their hot tunes in the evening for dancing couples, the musicians would head off to the after-hours joints and play a less energetic but more bluesy kind of music, enabling them and their late-night audiences to get through to the early hours of the morning without suffering total exhaustion. and nobody in new orleans laid into the blues so low down and dirty as buddy bolden, whose funky butt became a staple in the repertoire of the citys early jazz bands.

in the late 60s early 70s many american soldiers where stationed all over germany. among those where musicians who played in several army bands like the east of underground who recorded a now sought after album after they had won the special services entertainment showband contest held in frankfurt in 1971. nobody knows which other bands participated in this contest, maybe also the soul explosion which were stationed in augsburg, upper bavaria. around the same time, a man named charles held opened a club in augsburg town called tarantel. furthermore he was running a record label of the same name on which he released a handful of 7inch singles from different, local bands, mainly not funky at all though. the soul explosions release remains the only one in the field of american soul & funk music. the band recorded a fantabulous double sider, one deep funk side with a soulful ballad on the flip which makes both hardcore funk and soul collectors happy. unfortunately there is no more information available about the band, only that they even performed live at the tarantel club.

marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, wolf + lamb proudly share the debut release of the waves & us. formed out of a creative meeting of minds between maayan nidam, markus nikolaus and louis mcguire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs. maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of mara trax, scoring releases on such celebrated labels as perlon. markus performs his own solo project cunt cunt chanel, while louis is part of ballet school, a band releasing on noted indie label bella union. the whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers the waves & us. maayan s electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. markus guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. louis bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility, bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range. making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. with their eyes fixed on live performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.
