was kommt heraus, wenn experten musikliebhabern eine freude machen wollen? eine kompilationsserie wie die -wanted collection-! die vom französischen label wagram entworfene vinyl-reihe widmet sich dem thema black music und damit den vier genres soul, funk, afrobeat und reggae. pro genre also eine platte, und das jeweils mit remasterten perlen, die connaisseure ihres fachgebiets aus den persönlichen plattensammlungen ausgegraben haben. um dem ganzen ein optisches krönchen aufzusetzen, wurden die veröffentlichungen durch exklusive aufnahmen des britischen fotografen chris steel-perkins designt. die -wanted soul--edition enthält zwölf fantastische songs von unter anderem nancy holloway, millie jackson, tobi lark, dorothy moore, darondo, joe simon und dee edwards.

das 7-köpfige brit-soul/jazz-kollektiv bewegt sich schon seit jeher in der tradition der pasadenas, style council, dexy s midnight runners und der sixties-modszene. mitglieder von dexy s, blow monkeys und young disciples sowie soul-/dub-legenden wie nolan porter und dennis bovell gaben gastfeatures, die band tourte u.a. mit the specials. doch mit dem neuen studioalbum setzen stone foundation allem die krone auf. street rituals- wurde komplett von paul weller (the jam, style council) produziert, teils mitgeschrieben, er war als pianist, gitarrist und/oder vokalist an allen songs beteiligt, bei your balloon is rising sogar als leadsänger. zudem konnte sich das septett den vokalen beistand zweier absoluter us-soul-größen sichern, nämlich von stax-legende william bell und der unvergesslichen grande dame des soul, betty lavette. street rituals erscheint als cd, lp und als cd+dvd. die dvd enthält ein 14-minütiges making-of sowie drei songs, die live mit paul weller im studio eingespielt wurden.

zweiter lp-sampler als tribut an den legendären soul-club twisted wheel, der mit seinem resident-dj roger eagle acht jahre lang an zwei verschiedenen locations der definitive soul- und rhythm & blues-hotspot im manchester der 1960’er jahre war und dem britischen publikum bislang ungehörte, afroamerikanische tanzmusik beibrachte. mit 16 definitiven klassikern, darunter bob & earls -harlem shuffle-, -the duck- von jackie lee oder screamin jay hawkins -i put a spell on you-.

we are seemingly headed towards dark and confusing times. the tension inside of the people is rising so instead of putting more gasoline to the fire and fueling the rage i submit to you these sounds of peace. not black music or white music. not borders or class. just music. it’s time to stop labeling music, just as it is time to stop labeling humans as 1st class and 2nd class citizens. if you can ignore my broken voice and if you could only look past my music’s imperfections, you would feel me instead of hearing me and maybe then you could get a small glimpse of the hope that the people feel when they are at my concerts and understand the idea that many great men and women before me like bob marley and john lennon had, that we are all one. the idea that had brought hope and countless others. the hope that makes them scream: peace forever. (charles x)

mannheim duo ho do ri s lost in betty s ford is an exercise in restraint with the ep delving into the deeper realms of house music. elotrans kick things off with its shuffling percussion lending the track more of a jacking vibe. high level boost ups the energy whilst still retaining a distinctly left field vibe whilst k for the models delves into murkier realms in a superbly wonky way. back problems rounds things off with a sub-aquatic ride reminiscent of baby ford at his most coherent.

during the 1950’s american exotica exponents les baxter, martin denny and arthur lyman fused african and latin rhythms with caribbean and polynesian sounds to evoke the sonic equivalent of a tropical island paradise. this 3rd volume of britxotica examines how their english equivalents fuelled by the popularity of hit musical south pacific, attempted to create the same sun-drenched haitian ambience in rain-soaked, post-war london.

light in the attic reissues their impossible to find 1969 album, originally out on third world recordings ! 5 on kurt cobains top 50 favorite albums. philosophy of the world is a collection of garage rock tunes that balanced charm and discordance in equal measure. in 1968, three sisters from fremont, new hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves the shaggs. at that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the groups five-year run. dot, betty and helen (and occasionally rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, austin wiggin jr., who was convinced they were going to be big. years earlier, austins mother gave him a palm reading, predicting that her son would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two sons after his mother died, and that his daughters would form a popular music outfit. the first two became reality, so austin was certain the third would follow suit.

grandioser lp-sampler in kooperation mit real sides records mit den besten tracks aus der gleichnamigen cd-serie. zehn erstklassige modern soul-perlen von angie stone über betty lavette bis zum floorfiller von del davis. erstmals auf vinyl erscheinen die tunes von roy g hemmings und r. kelly.

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.

this compilation should enrich everybody’s soul with a mix of something for everyone who likes or wants to explore the variety of early soul tracks which are finding new favour on today’s uk soul scene. from the lesser known tracks from big name artists like aretha franklin, otis redding, gladys knight and the drifters, to established hits from the valentinos, sam cooke, steve alaimo, chuck jackson and timi yuro.

jetzt auch endlich auf vinyl! 77 rusty trombones- ist das letzte studioalbum des im januar diesen jahres verstorbenen musikers, rappers, songwriters und produzenten blowfly! der aus miami operierende clarence reid aka blowfly konnte auf eine über 50-jährige karriere zurückblicken und gilt für viele soul-/funk- und vor allem hip hop-künstler als wichtige inspiration. in den 60er und 70er jahren arbeitete reid als produzent und songwriter für u.a. betty wright, sam & dave, gwen mccrae, bobby byrd und kc and the sunshine band. 1971 erschien sein erstes album unter dem pseudonym blowfly. das album the weird world of blowfly zeigt reid als maskierten superhelden auf dem cover, und er nahm anschließend weitere alben unter dem alter ego blowfly auf. seine dirty lyrics waren bereits in den 70er jahren ihrer zeit weit voraus, und sein track rapp dirty (auch bekannt als blowfly s rap) verhalf dem album blowfly s party 1980 sogar zu einer chartplatzierung in den usa. seine songs wurden von hip hop- und r&b-künstlern, darunter größen wie wu tang clan, dj shadow, eazy-e, method man & redman, rjd2, jurassic 5, beyonce, brand nubian oder mary j blidge, gesampelt. künstler wie ice-t, red hot chili peppers, flying lotus, run the jewels, dj quik bis hin zu den Ärzten zollten blowfly respekt. r.i.p. blowfly!

ein paar jahre nach seiner letzten platte war es für suff daddy nun an der zeit sein neues gruppy dumb studio einzuweihen. tief verwurzelt in seinem klassischen suff daddy-sound, entstand ein album, das sich in die entwicklung von suff daddy als producer und mensch nahtlos einfügen lässt. er ersetzt das becks und den schnaps als inspirationsquelle und berieselt sich fortan durch die eindrücke, die er auf seinen reisen durch europa und australien sammeln konnte. weniger chopped samples, dafür mehr synthies. weniger hip hop, dafür mehr handgemachte musik. nachdem er 2015 seine dj-shows erfolgreich aus deutschland auf ganz europa verlagern konnte, u.a. mit einem boiler room in london, durfte er auch anderson.paak bei seinen deutschland shows als support begleiten. auf dem album sind unter anderem sein bandkollege dexter (betty ford boys) aus stuttgart und mayer hawthorne aus los angeles vertreten. der einzige up-tempo & vocal track auf dem album ist sicher einer der ungewöhnlichsten für suff daddy. dexter und suff daddy hingegen ergänzen sich mit ihren ganz speziellen basslines und drum sounds, so ergibt sich der bewährte sound gepaart mit dexters brachialem habitus. diesen winter wird suff daddy zum ersten mal mit einer liveband auf der bühne stehen. termine folgen.

fantastic voyage’s autumn 2015 release of soul for dancers proved so successful, that we didn’t have to think twice when lois wilson (mojo, record collector) asked if she could do it all over again. it turns out that there were plenty more classic sides in her dj crates, drawing on that rich seam of early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues, of the sort that would have packed the dancefloors on the sixties club scene, or has been embraced by subsequent generations of club soul diehards.

veedel kaztro hängt immer noch am büdchen ab. doch mit büdchentapes- und lps ist bei kölns bestem rapper grade pause. stattdessen veröffentlich er zusammen mit seinem partner mels das album *fenster zur strasse*, eine platte, die anders ist als die meisten seiner bisherigen veröffentlichungen. selten war sein slacker rap so unironisch, so persönlich und so so explizit politisch wie auf *fenster zur strasse*. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

more ultra rare disco-soul from the sunshine state! phillip wright only dropped 1 45 single under his own name on tk discos tiny dash label in 1976. long sought after & coveted by lovers of rare disco & modern soul *keep her happy* has never been reissued in its original 45 format, until now! often fetching around the $200 mark for a used copy this sublime slice of funk deserves to be heard by a wider audience, sadly phillip never achieved the commercial success of his sister betty but perhaps now this obscure single of his will make people hit the dancefloor in 2015! repressed, remastered & re-released in its original dinner 45 rpm format with all original dash records artwork intact in conjunction with joe stone / tk disco, miami fl.

impossibly rare sweet soul & funk from the vaults of miami s bold records (a subsidiary of the mighty t.k. disco label). there s scant information on reid inc as a group but the album boasts some gorgeous soulful melodies from the all female personnel and features stellar string & horn arrangements from miami studio stalwart mike lewis (blowfly, kc & the sunshine band, latimore, fern kinney) & is produced by the mighty clarence reid who has written, recorded & produced too many records to list here (betty wright, wilson pickett, dusty springfield, bobby byrd, gwen mccrae) throughout his 50+ year career. this is a real rarity, a record that fetches top, top dollar ($500 plus) on-line among soul, funk & disco aficionados. -what am i gonna do- has been comped numerous times but this is the first time the whole lp has been re-mastered & re-issued on vinyl (having previously only been re-released on cd in japan) brought to you in conjunction & with the permission of t.k. disco / henry stone music, miami usa.

bereits während der letzten drive-by truckers tour begann patterson hood am vorliegenden album zu arbeiten. ursprünglich hatte er geplant ein buch zu schreiben, dann stellte er aber schnell fest, dass die texte sehr an songformaten angelegt waren und sie sich nahtlos in seine musikalischen entwürfe einfügten. das album wurde in seiner heimatstadt athens/georgia aufgenommen, und er ließ sich dabei von fast der gesamten drive-by truckers crew musikalisch unterstützen. ein album für fans von wilco, neil young, alberta cross und natürlich drive-by truckers.

244 km!! thats the distance between berlin and hamburg. this is what hauke freer and matthias reiling do as often as possible to visit each others studios and start fighting over bass lines and kick drums. after some top notch releases on the real soon and morris audio record labels we are very pleased to welcome a four tracker from the duo at hairy claw hq. the boys open up the ep with swashbuckler, hypnotic, minimal grooves with snatches of percussion and spun in samples. very go round carries on the minimal grooves but juxtaposes jazzy snatches and wonky stabs. foot the bill introduces tribal rhythms and samples, whilst drum fest black betty rounds things off with a percussive and left field slant. a varied and impressive debut from hauke and matthias on hairy claw.
