the young senators are an exemplary progenitor of dc’s hyper-local, hyper-celebrated go-go scene. peers of chuck brown’s black heat and soul searchers, the septet was led by energetic singer and conga player jimi dougans, and featured saxophonist leroyflemming, guitarist calvin charisty, keyboardist frank hooker, drummer james johnson, bassist wornell jones, and trumpeter phillip guilbeau. the band issued two singles on the the tiny innovation label, before joining up with motown’s eddie kendricks in 1972 for his sophomore effort people…hold on. the young senators’ fuzzed-out brand of psychedelic soul is often bootlegged, but finds it first legitimate release in 45 years via these remastered sides.

fifty first recordings was created in 1994 out of a small but very productive studio in london called state 51 using the down time and the very talented engineers who had been brought together for state 51 s existing clients. state 51 was the go to studio for the likes of x-press 2, sharp, amalgamation of soundz. the engineers we worked with included mark woolford, james brown, james reynolds & mark yardley. fifty first recordings soon found a name for itself and was very quickly at the forefront of the new generation of uk garage music. we produced and released music in the 90s, for over 7 years, with the likes of tuff jam etc. and later went to develop other imprints such as konnect / test press / unda vybe / spread love / tick etc., some in partnership with producers and managed artists.

middleburough lads aaron turner and tom brown make their return to 1080p as perfume advert, following up what i must say was one of the breakthrough early cassette releases of the label (tulpa, from back in 2013) with a vivid and kinetic wash of tech-house and and deeply-layered house—extremely heavy night-drive vibes and more abstracted mesmeric feelings lit with pulsating textures and their distinctly murky cosmics.

after their first (very) successful album, cassius decided not to rely on their natural ability to make us dance to their groovy basslines, and came back with a daring project: integrate some mostly african-american influenced singings in their compositions to give electronic music a new dimension.don’t worry,the catchy-rythmic sound of cassius is still here. you might recognise the voice of ghostfacekillah, one of wu tang clan’s members that delivers a punchy performance on the upbeat tempo track “thrilla-, as well as steve edwards, the house music singer who sang with swedish producer axwell, and who’s also known for having lent his voice to bob sinclar on the famous “world, hold on-. we’re releasing the album once more, so that you can get back into the fabulous swing of cassius.

london based punk duo black volume are not easy to classify. their delirious industrial post punk sounds at times like proto house and at times becomes some sort of mutant electro. their b series sound is made of a conglomerate of filthy percussions, unexpected samples and something with the appearance of melody, with a weirdly addictive result. black rubber is james brown wearing black leather at 40ºc (in the shade) while suffering a mental breakdown. excentric melodies sliding down rhythmic dislexia. negative return blooms from an improvised beat with no traceable sequence, on top of which we find rubbery synth lines, creamy interferences and mysterious sampling, everything sounds like melting from old vhs footage with the future we enter a romantic dystopia. sensual and passionate but equally crunchy, it rises up through cheap calculator arpeggios, pitched vocals and obsessive bass lines. streetfight evoques a desolate landscape, devastated and radioactive. distant echoes from an extinguished human race that left behind only majestic rusty ruins.

trotz einer aversion gegen das rampenlicht entwickelt sich marquis hawkes zum shooting-star der house szene. nach ersten maxis für dixon avenue basement jams, clone und aus sowie einer trilogie für houndstooth, legt er nun sein debütalbum vor. social housing deckt das gesamte spektrum der house music ab, von deepen grooves über disco cut-ups bis soulful keyboard-jams und jacking drumcomputer und featured dabei die stimme der legendären jocelyn brown. der definitive sommer-soundtrack.

voodoocuts kicks off the a-side with kelja , a raw 70s afro-funk bomb from the ivory coast. the american-funk inspired tune features a funky bassline & killer organ vibe, mingled with a dirty, raw saxophone line and james brown influenced vocals. voodoocuts rework turns the track into a serious dancefloor banger! in the tortoise loop voodoocuts blends an infectious groove with pounding drum breaks and hypnotic vocals. a hot afro-latin joint not to be missed! on the flip soulbrigada takes things to a disco tip. hustleman is a stunning afrofunk & disco gem from west africa. the second track madera is an afro-disco gem with a compelling cape verdean groove. soulbrigada rearranged the tracks, added drums, samples and effects building a brigde between past and present - without ever losing its original organic vibe. two essential tunes for your record bag!

faraway reach casts classixx’s young-but-nostalgic melodies and sublime chords in a more mature, restrained light, albeit no less lively and bright. establishing themselves as producers of note on their debut lp (pitchfork called them “great songwriters, too”), faraway reach delivers powerfully smooth and soulful jewels that are still decidedly their own - the classixx signature is one that can’t be traced. their love of plaintive voices and disco-inspired grooves is as evident as ever, but this time around everything is a bit bolder, the cast is bigger, the melodies distilled into a higher potency - it’s all just as good, but better. “on the first record, we wanted to include only people that were our friends, and have it be really personal…” david begins, a thought blake finishes: “this time we wanted to make a record with a lot of different kinds of vocals, to see if we could be the common thread.” the album traverses locales, vocalists and inspirations. it s a fitting movement for the duo, from venice beach to the mountains of south africa and everywhere in between - a faraway reach.

remastered re-issue of the 1974 album by janko nilovic, one of the greatest studio talents of europe in the 70s.

awake represented a high-water mark for scott hansen, the san francisco musician better known as tycho. described by hansen as, “in many ways, the first true tycho record,” awake announced the arrival of tycho as a full band, and it found hansen streamlining the group’s sound, focusing on the drums and aiming to capture the energy and power of the group’s live set. the story of awake arrives at its natural conclusion with this 12” of remixes, on which hansen’s songs are re-interpreted by producers who make the songs their own while retaining all of their core elements.

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.

miami born turntablelist & producer, jesse perez, throws down a booty shaking killer house jam for edibles fourth release. what you say about my momma has been ripping up dancefloors for months since landing in eats everythings hands, so its a welcome release on the label, backed with a deadly remix from truncate. on the original mix, perez grinds out a funky and low-slung groove, its memorable vocal hook looping and chopping from side to side as the raw mpc beats and sub bass weave their magic. truncate brings his no nonsense and direct approach on the remix, carving out a dance mania style drum workout over the cut up vox (think robert armani meets armand van helden). truncate has been a hugely dependable producer for yonks via his trax on his own truncate label as well as mixes for jimmy edgar, shlomi aber and kink, and he does not disappoint here. perez wraps up the ep with boogie down brown, another slab of funk laden house goodness, blending high tension strings and rolling drums to great effect. perez has been firing out infectious house jams for labels like bpitch, dj sneaks im a house gangster and hot creations, for some time now, as well as working his own label mr. nice guy, so its a welcome addition to the edible roster for jesse perez

while being a rare patrick adams and billy nichols production, mary clark’s “take me i’m yours” has in recent years become one of the most celebrated disco tracks by contemporary deejays. this borderline gospel-disco gem has all the elements of a timeless disco cut, a driving bass line, powefully arranged strings and horns, but most importantly, a very soulful performance by mary clark. like many of peter brown’s “affliate” labels, little is known about them or the artists recorded. originaly released in 1980 on ‘la shawn’, it is rumored to have been no more than 200 records originally pressed, making this one of the most sought 12 inches among collectors.
