favorite recordings proudly presents this new official reissue of arian: a rare and underrated disco album originally released in 1981 by pgp rtb label and fully recorded in new-york. arian kerliu was born in the small town of macedonia, dibra or debar. arian’s first recordings for a local radio stations were at the age of 14, appearing in almost every music festival in ex-yugoslavia. when he was 19, arian came to new york city, working different jobs and studying music. his first music engagements were in various clubs throughout the city, playing guitar and singing. he then met with james benjamin-fish, well known bass-guitar player, with whom he formed the band arian & funky family, mainly performing in the best clubs of nyc at that time. together, they came to an idea to record an album of their own. after travelling throughout the us, they got to know each other very well, and had connected with probably some of the best musicians you could find at that time. thus they had sinclair acey arranging three songs and hubert eaves, as a writer of -still together-, a beautiful ballad written in honor of his wife. by that time hubert had gained two grammy awards for stephanie mills’ albums. kornelius cambell also wrote and composed two songs of the album, which sinclair acey arranged. the album also contains a great cover of “can’t say goodbye” by bobby caldwell, a song that arian and james had interpreted almost every night when touring. and all of this completed with the background vocals of tawatha agee (mtume), shevill alexander and sybil thomas (raw silk). arian & funky family band was then invited in yugoslavia for a european tour, including james, kornelius and stacey, but also others great musicians such as william -spaceman- patterson, zane mark, steve kroon, trevor gale, alex foster, or reggie marks, not forgetting flame braithwaite and meli sa morgan on background vocals. having the material of the 4 songs ready and finalized, the pgp rtb label from belgrade offered them to release an album, with the idea to also adapt the songs with lyrics from the famous croatian musician and writer mario mihaljevic. today, favorite recordings is deeply honored to bring this brilliant lp back to life. in order to insure the best sound quality, the original tracklist has been dispatched on a double vinyl version, which should please all djs and music collectors

the strike team ep is the second in the trilogy of releases introducing the world to the sound of the stripper. the title track is a rare hybrid of modern day production and timeless influences transformed through the prism of 1990’s hardcore, jungle, and broken beat. you and your favorite dj like to close your sets with classic jungle tracks? well, the stripper is here with a monster for the middle of your set, pacing at a cool 128 bpm. following it is the hidden gem of the record, culture vulture: an impossible to pinpoint breakbeat laced melodic odyssey. similar to “consciousness proliferation” (back 2 93 mix) from sleeve-01, culture vulture takes you on a journey inspired by the irresistible grit and beauty of the early 1990’s sound from the city of coventry and producers like skanna and essence of aura. flipping the record to side 2, the stripper gives you an absolute burner of a techno track intended for the heaviest and sweatiest of social settings. the atmospheric pads are pointing to the producer’s undeniable rave influences and love for illegal parties around the world. the final track of the record is the stripper tying back the european influences with his unquestionable debt to the american midwest: melodic, deep, and irresistible. this is a physical release of a four track ep. it contains music tracks intended for social settings. suitable for dj sets of varying styles in the range of 125 - 135 bpm. the material presented here is also available digitally. all tracks produced, mixed, and stripped by stripper™ using digital synthesizers and sequencers.

born in rio in 1940, helio won a guitar from his father at age 12.after working in sugar mills or as a sales clerk in record stores, he started performing at rio nightclubs (like plaza) and são paulo. in 1975 he signed to rca victor on which he released his first lp, -matheus segundo matheus- with arrangements by oberdan -black river- magalhães, zé rodrix and chiquinho de moraes with participation of azymuth as a support band withg a total of 128 musicians involved int he recording. unfortuanly this much deserved reissue didn t make it to press before helio passed last year, but we are most humble and proud to do it justice. one of my favourite brazilian lp s just to listen to.

schermate is back! here two visionary tracks by stefano greppi.

after mukatsuku records summer hammond organ screamer from billy hawks (mukat 052) the label goes deep on an international funk tip. few years ago label manager nik played in france and the promoter pulled out a biosis now 45 that he never knew existed up till then and was generally thought to be a long album track only. an extensive search revealed nothing online including popsike/discogs/ebay except a tropical seller who d just bought a huge caribbean collection with the record included saying he d never seen it before either and he was keeping itâ&#128,¦failing to secure a copy themselves the label licensed it instead and created their own 45 edit which retains all the funk & soul of the elongated album version into a 7 inch friendly format. on the flipside and 1973 tumba safari from afro train get s a funky afrobeat re touch for peak time club play that would save you several hundred pounds on an original if you could actually find a copy !

mortazavi und friedman verbindet die erfahrung auf dem terrain ungerader, zyklischer rhythmen, die die grundlage ihrer, einerseits zarten, andererseits ekstatischen trance-kunstmusik bilden. im studio entstehen in der wiederholung und improvisation -nummern-. das sind groove-basierte stücke, gespielt auf verschiedensten trommeln (mortazavi spielt überwiegend tombak) und elektronischen mitteln. die musikalische basis bilden natürliche, d.h. gegebene bewegungsformeln. sie sorgen für die harmonische spannung zwischen elektro-sound und live erzeugtem groove mit präzisem timing. durch extreme klangbandbreite der tombak und mortazavis extravaganter technik, gelingt die verschmelzung mit friedmans ort- und zeitlosem repertoire.

summers here! ransom note records continue their search for the finest dance music from planet earth with a carnival-ready curveball of a new release the sleazy, playful ghanaian afro-ghetto-techno-pop that is brytes word-of-mouth classic i like your girlfriend. originally surfacing on a couple of youtube dance videos, the shitty quality video rip of brytes bizarro lyrics leaping over gafaccis impeccable grime-meets-afrohouse beat has been a much-loved secret weapon in the sets of djs that know for a minute now - bok bok, mixpak and gang fatale have all supported heavily. coming from accras booming azonto dance scene, where tracks are knocked out in makeshift home-built studios then swapped through social media apps on smartphones, a proper release of i like your girlfriend has long remained a holy grail. now, after months of searching, several western union transfers, hundreds of whatsapp messages and no lack of determination, ransom note have finally managed to legitimately sign the track, and are all set to give a modern classic the 12inch release it deserves making history with what is quite possibly the first azonto track to be released on vinyl. alongside brytes crazy vocal version, the release features the original beat from producer gafacci its bouncing techy minimalism carving a unique path between techno, house and uk funky that defies genre with glee. vinyl buyers get a special bonus brytes acapella, coming in at 128 bpm, is the perfect mixing tool

same speed sambas are back to celebrate the sound of the summer in 2017 in their very own unique way. following on from last year s now hugely sought after debut, they have dug even deeper, searching out for more obscure uses of brasilian rhythms and coming up with two dance floor delights â&#128,&#147, one from denmark and another from right here in the uk â&#128,&#147, giving them once again, that unique same speed re-touch. samba operator takes a rare live recording of one of the uk s finest soul acts of the 80s biggest hits and re-works it into a mostrous tropical club anthem, while numero dois goes down the samba-not-samba route taking a danish 70s girl band and giving them some very warm disco treatment. the result is something very contemporary sounding that ll fire up the dance every time. all same speed releases are limited, hand-stamped vinyl-only affairs, but also be on the look out for the occasional re-work of more contemporary artists, available for free download as a little treat, to pimp up your dj sets this summer.

the man, the myth, the legend that is danny soopasoul bennett has returned to spread the good word of funk once again. pushin weight is the storming new instrumental track from our man soopasoul and as usual it doesn t disappoint. rambunctious sax lines and soaking wet wah wah chords ride over the tight drums and grooving congas. there s more breaks than a fat man running a marathon with this floor filler and more exciting still, it s coming out on 7- vinyl for your listening pleasure. the aptly titled b-side and perfect foil to this funky monster is his classic track â&#128,&#147, the fan favourite: brand nu which has had a cheeky little 7- rework to make it, wellâ&#128,¦brand new.

ocean parkway, the new sublabel from brooklyn s names you can trust, launches with a deep dive! drawing inspiration from sounds as varied as tortoise and trentmøller, lavender lagoon eschews traditional genre cliches, blending sampled drums and synth patches to paint an electronic collage inspired by the lush, organic flow of nature. the a-side presents an optimistic tryptic: a boy hunting for butterflies, dogs swimming in suburban pools, and the smell of spring rain. but flip it over to side b and a darker realm is revealed â&#128,&#148, one in which the cold physics of outerspace reign supreme, and the heavy computerized rhythms take control.

chicano soul floaters have to be one of the smaller sub genres of my disco collecting but nubia is probably the best example out there. we managed to get the master tapes from writer george rivera so it sounds as good as the day it was recording, bring some floaty sunny soul to your dancefloors â&#128,&#147, 500 only.

eric boss â&#128,&#147, closer to the spirit just when you thought that the funk 45 game was becoming a little bit too predictable, mocambo once again hits with a sureshot single to smash dancefloors across the pond. eric boss (dj e da boss, myron & e, the pendletons...) needs little introduction. his 2ndouting with the german funk heavyweights anticipates their forthcoming collaborative album - a modern love- with a raw uptempo funk track, oozing old school vibes, flipped live and uncut on tape with a fresh style that is all their own. limited edition vinyl 45 includes instrumental for dedicated djs.

leon ware s self-titled 1982 album has long been a holy grail for rare groove record collectors. indeed, mint copies are rarely found for less than £100. so be with records, a new vinyl-only reissue label, is pleased to mark its first release with ware s classic â&#128,&#147, a set that features the timeless why i came to california, a beautiful example of early 80s soul funk. a truly unsung legend, leon ware has written a stunning variety of classic soul music over the course of six decades. he joinedmotownin the late 60s and became one of the label s key writers. his most indelible contribution at motown was marvin gaye s masterpiece i want you. ware s production and songwriting memorably took gaye to another creative level. despite recording a handful of critically acclaimed solo albums for motown and elektra, including this one here, he has remained a secret to many outside the music industry. be with records hope this timely reissue goes some way to rectifying that.

this ep s lead track comes in form of a deep dub techno aesthetic at an adequate 128 bpm while not neglecting warm and melodic elements. “box drop” stands in the tradition of höppner s interest in musical detail rather than blatant functionality: aside from his recognizable kick drums and basslines nick lays out plenty of harmonic layers and effects such as string arrangements, leading synth pads, now trickling then rotating sound patterns, making this cut as elegiac and frisky as it’s muscular and straightforward.

nach seinem bpitch-debüt, der killer-maxi -velvet rag ep- (bpc316), kehrt der berliner produzent phon.o mit drei weiteren effektiven hybrid-tracks zurück. die -fractions ep- setzt sich mit dem hypnotischen drive von -run- in bewegung. bei 128 bpm geht es mit dem swingenden flow von -brooklyn shuffle- weiter. zum abschluss wartet mit -fractions- der emotionalere titeltrack, bei dem subsonische basslines und reduzierte percussion zunächst ein düsteres klangbild erzeugen, das spätestens durch die manipulierten vocals mit nachdenklicher melancholie konterkariert wird. zusammengefasst: phon.o is on fire right now!

first full ep on fear of flying from label co-founder blm since 2010’s ‘step to this. during this time the london based producers sound has found a home on jus eds underground quality label as well as tusba and the secret sundaze imprint to name a few. * queen of nowhere* is an eclectic mix with * 128 grooves* harking back to the golden era of tech house with its crunchy beats and shards of melody imbuing the track with a sense of warmth . * hmrc* delves into electro territory with a melancholy air whilst the flip sides title track * queen of nowhere* is a straight up slice of no nonsense slammin techno. the ep is rounded off nicely by the more off kilter * i got my beno*, a lovingly deep and blissful breakbeat infused ride, perfect for those after hours sessions.

matias aguayo gets down to the dancefloor. 12inch comes with an inlay and in coloured vinyl. limited to 300

recent output has seen dorisburg pushing into deeper realms. computer drumming are some further steps in these explorations of 4/4 rhythms and acoustic depth. with a wide range in tempo, the track titles offers aid for the venturous. a1 is a reduced jam of echoing percussion that never sees the entry of a kick drum. a2 compensates with bouncing bass and a playful array of drumming elements entering and dropping off in a bold tempo. exiting on a more well established pulse, the b side consists of the deepest and most mysterious offering from dorisburg to date. distant bells and chimes and a grand formation of percussion meets thundering bass in an encounter set on vast grounds.

future state is roger 23s second release on baud and it features five stirring tracks that delve deep.
