mit der gleichnamigen single -soy como soy-, die im sommer bereits auf dj hells label gigolo erschien, landeten makossa + megablast bereits einen weltweit gefeierten club hit. die beiden wiener veroeffentlichten bisher alben auf stereo deluxe und g-stone, diverse remixe und singles auf great stuff und man recordings. auf dem album sind gaeste wie tony allen, hubert tubbs, cleydys villalon, og spiritual godess und sugar b vertreten! makossa & megablast verbinden spannungsgeladene analoge sounds, markante drums und percussions mit dynamischen basslines und schlie§en den kreis zwischen den urspruenglichen, primitiven rhythmen der talking drums und der aktuellen musikgeschichte mit den neuesten standards elektronischer musikproduktion. schoen, dass die jungs wieder da sind! fuer ihr 2007 auf g-stone recordings veroeffentlichtes debut -kunuaka- erntete das duo fuer seine praezisen und ausgetueftelten produktionen wohlverdiente credits von musikalischen wegbereitern wie gilles peterson, carl craig und laurent garnier. nach ausgedehnten reisen rund um die welt, wo sie vor bis zu 30.000 begeisterten party people aufgetreten sind, tun sich die beiden mit den besten und kreativsten musikern und saengern fuer dieses album zusammen.

this collection documents the two-decades-plus recording career of r&b icon luther vandross. even before he started putting out records under his own name, he was a first-call session singer (hes the one who created and sang the chorus hook on david bowies -young americans,- for just one example). throughout the 80s and the 90s, he was (both commercially and aesthetically) one of the most consistently successful r&b singer/songwriter/producers. this healthy two-disc selection of highlights from the impressive vandross catalogue moves deftly from heartfelt ballads (-a house is not a home-) to percolating, poppy numbers (-never too much-), spotlighting the mans mellifluous voice and tasteful phrasing at each turn. this is quite clearly the definitive career summary for this deeply influential r&b titan.

in keb darges own words: i ve done many a compilation in my day, mostly based around the tunes i played at my long running deep funk nights in madame jo jos. that night is no longer on the go, possibly due to a growing lack of interest on my part, (sorry). in the last few years the lost & found: nights at the club have been my real passion, and indeed little ediths and andy smiths passion too. what a marvelous era this is for good music. we may still have pure stuff like dub step: pulling in large numbers of sheep, but an equal number of youngsters are being attracted to retro, or at least retro sounding music. people tell me it is because the youth are fed up with computerized music, or men with drug problems angrily shouting at them over a dull repetitive beat, but i know lots of teenagers who have bypassed this muck all together. must be the internet that is helping kill off the demand for empty music. you no longer need to go to a retro club night, or indeed search out rare records to be exposed to good music, the internet is full of the stuff. my fifteen year old daughter is a marc bolan fan who while researching the poor fellows influences discovered chuck berry, sun records, etc, etc. i dont really know or understand why so many are at last getting into the good stuff, but they are, and it is wonderful for the likes of me.

august darnells swaggering alter ego kid creole dons his famed fedora and gets back in stride with his first high profile studio album in over 10 years: i wake up screaming. darnell first came to prominence during the mid-70s in new york, forming dr. buzzards original savannah band with his brother stony browder before producing a slew of eccentric projects for ze records including cristina, don armandos seventh avenue rumba band and gichy dan, as well as sporting his trademark zoot suit and fedora for the first time for the debut recordings by kid creole & the coconuts. signing on to chris blackwells island records and seymour steins sire imprint, darnell would become one of the 80s most unique and recognisable figures, scoring a brace of unforgettable chart hits mixing heavyweight tropical grooves with plenty of lyrical bite: -stool pigeon-, -annie, im not your daddy-, -im a wonderful thing baby- and more. with cover artwork echoing his love of 1940s film noir, this album explores the vibrant mind of darnell with a variety of themes and styles. recorded at darnells own studio in sweden and mixed by brennan green (chinatown recordings), i wake up screaming is an essential return from one of the truly unique characters in the world of music.

wretch 32, real name jermaine scott, is one of the uks most loved mcs - from the underground up. from his early years in londons flourishing grime scene back in the early 00s, the tottenham-raised lyricist has always stood out from the crowd. his conscious and reflective bars, along with an extremely relaxed flow, made him a firm favourite on the uk hip hop circuit. much like tinie tempah, wretch 32 has proved that british mcs can reach the mainstream without selling their soul to pop. the first fruits of this crossover success were tasted in january 2011, when his single traktor broke into the domestic top five following an appearance on the bbc sound ofÉ list. and his second official single, unorthodox, fared even better, peaking at number two in april. so its clear that much has changed since his debut lp of 2008, wretchrospective - but has public recognition come at the expense of what marked wretch 32 out as such a talent in the first place? not at all - on the opening title-track, the rapper lets the listener know that its the same old wretch at work. over a drum-heavy hip hop beat he sets up the rest of the album well, advising everyone to fasten their seatbelts as he prepares to take them on a ride that they wont forget in a hurry. never be me finds wretch delving into his past, opening up about making certain decisions in life that got him to where he is today. featuring rnb newcomer angel on the hook, the track has an inspirational feel to it - all over another impressive, but this time more grime-influenced, beat. a true standout is anniversary, with alex mills on singing duties - its a love song, minus any cheese. then the album lurches into the electro-infused sanes the new mad - a glimpse into wretchs party lifestyle, with ladies and alcohol at the forefront of his attentions. and closer dont go just might be one of the tracks of the year.

mit traumwandlerischer sicherheit schlŠgt lawrence einen bogen Ÿber 16 jahre gelebter clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische hier und jetzt aus dem auge zu verlieren oder auch nur eine spur in anachronistischer nostalgieseligkeit zu verfallen. stattdessen gehen unter seinen sensiblen hŠnden meilensteine des minimierten deep house wie >forever monna< von chez damier, ron trent und stacey pullen (1995) oder der 99er clubhit >overcome< von thomas melchior/baby ford mit kontemporŠren intensiven detroit-techno-hommagen wie smallpeople & raus >life aquatic<, delano smiths >my life< oder pigons traumhafter >koto<-dubtech-romanze von der 10 jahre dial-compilation auf wunderbare weise zusammen. au§erdem mit dabei sind so bekannte namen wie aril brikha, isolŽe, das ifach collective und robert hood, bevor roman flŸgels auf duran durans >save a prayer< basierendes meisterwerk >brian le bon< und das kristalline >oi< von plaids klassikeralbum >not for threes< (warp) den wehmŸtigen schlussakkord setzen. lawrences mix atmet hier jedenfalls die gelassenheit eines lichtdurchfluteten sonntagmorgens zwischen modernistischer gro§stadt und waldlichtung und gibt so seinem globalen kŸnstlerischen ansatz die passende dimension

derrick morgans recording career spans over five decades, starting with smiths in the late 1950s with mainly r&b style output. in the ska era of the early 1960s he moved on to work with producers: duke reid, prince buster, leslie kong, c.s. dodd (studio one) and later in the 1960s and into the 1970s, with the ubiquitous bunny lee. during this time, many of his own productions were also released, this compilation features ska productions from the 1960-1966 period. the lp has been re-compiled, re-mastered and has new art-work. it features the best tracks from now deleted 12 inch lp rrtlp 06 and concentrates on obscure and hard to find sides.

a stunning return to form for one of the pre-eminent modern soul singers - with background vocal guests including jody watley, faith evans, lalah hathaway, shanice and the andrea crouch singers. a remarkably strong fifth solo album from a soul singer who defines the word classy. highlights are his trademark gorgeous ballads ( miss you and goodbye ), hypnotic mid-tempo grooves ( 6 am and stay with me ), and irresistibly funky dancefloor tracks (the instant club hit ghost featuring jody watley). the insistent, gospel-flavoured mountain top is unlike anything you ve ever heard, and features the legendary andrea crouch singers. the album is rooted in the classic principles of melody and poetic lyrics while embracing eighties r&b/pop as purveyed by prince and michael jackson. since his outstanding 1997 debut album for mca, rahsaan has evolved as a vocalist and songwriter, along the way writing songs for tevin campbell, brandy, ledisi, lalah hathaway and van hunt. now in 2011, with the assistance of his regular production cohorts keith crouch and jamey jazz, he delivers some of his finest work.
