the legendary skatalites, alongside the later studio one in-house bands - the soul vendors, sound dimension, soul defenders and brentford road all stars – were as much a part of the classic studio one sound as were the singers that they accompanied such as alton ellis, horace andy, marcia griffiths and bob marley and the wailers.

with their first two daptone albums – get an understanding, and as featured singers on como now – the como mamas established themselves as three of the strongest voices in gospel music today.
in december of 2015, they cemented that reputation by taking their first trip from their home in como, ms up to harlem, ny to crush the apollo theater as part of the daptone super soul revue. taking full advantage of their presence in town, the daptone crew brought ester mae wilbourn, della daniels, and angelia taylor into the house of soul the week after the show to join forces for the first time with the musicians and studio that has defined their label’s sound. jimmy hill, thomas brenneck, homer steinweiss, and bosco mann, all stalwarts of the daptone stable, came together as “the glorifiers band,” to put down a churning musical foundation for these amazing singers. the results are some of the heaviest tracks that daptone has cut to date. if you don’t like raw, soulful gospel music, you’re really gonna hate this one. move upstairs is a real mother!

nice price deal !!! a key milestone in the labels discography. the ep begins with a cool drifting taste of modulated pads, rhythmic guitar and simple drum work. highlighting a bit more of a funky disco groove, atlantis is a liquid soul jam for the ages. the beat picks up with count down to zero, as an uber progressive hypnotic loop track gets lost in the smooth key stabs. the tribal vibe picks up with dont look down, adding some more percussion, slow attack synth chords and crazy rhodes melodies. gabriel slows things down to a lazy dubbed-out house cut full of succulent strings, charismatic claps and middle-eastern harmonies. great for the late-night club slot or an introspective headphone listen, this solid ep is a sure fire success!

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

going back to classics could fall so easily, luckily for skudge presents, the persistent and class-act of mark broom leaves the mediocre in its rubble. eric cloutier: broom is a legend. i can t even count how many of his records i own. both of these are pure fire loving it! the kicking a-side, moments1, with the high paced energy and flirtations with the dutch classic style of techno-house crossover brings a smile upon djs and dancers alike - without going too much into nostalgia, this track is sure to find its way through the peak times. moments2 on the flip submerges deeper into this records vibe, with a progression that throbs more than kicks, with a saw tooth lead that keeps the moody atmosphere intact. a sure-shot 2 tracker is what we need and what we get

this monster 1976 lp from nassau s munnings brothers aka beginning of the end is a stone cold classic. fact. well deserving of a place in any record collection! this, their second lp (with 1971s infamous funky nassau preceding it) features the brothers original, fresh sound a mixture of tough funk rhythms, bahamian soul and flourishes of jazz and rock is an extremely well executed and produced body of work. not surprising considering the band were one of the bahamas foremost musical outfits. the brothers musical backgrounds could not have been any more fitting, they cut their teeth playing regularly alongside the likes of nat king cole and count basie at their fathers well known nightclub the cat and the fiddle, what we get on this lp however is not jazz, but lean, melodic soul music! original copies of this seminal lp can change hands for 100 s on the used/second hand market and is a solid constant at the tops of the wants lists of record aficionados. the lp has been illegally reissued numerous times without any care or attention being taken to retain or respect the quality of the amazing music contained within. not so on this occasion, this is a fully legit, sanctioned reissue done in conjunction and with the assistance of miami s tk disco empire. now is the perfect time to revisit the deep, soulful sounds of the munnings brothers endeavours, a truly sublime collection of songs, drenched in sunshine, masterfully produced and performed with pure vitality. a truly classic album. sounding as fresh as it did almost 40 years ago. jump in the water!

endlich erscheint das lang erwartete neue album der erfolgreichen us-amerikanischen reggae/rock-band rebelution bei easy star records. in den usa füllt die band mittlerweile große hallen, hierzulande gelten sie noch als geheimtipp. nach 12-jähriger bandgeschichte mit über 350.000 unabhängig verkauften alben wirkt das neue album kraftvoller als je zuvor. seit dem release ihres vorgängeralbums -count me in-, welches platz eins der billboard reggae charts und sogar platz 21 der offiziellen us billboard charts belegte, tourte die band um eric rachmany (gesang/gitarre), rory carey (keyboard), wesley finley (schlagzeug) und marley d. williams (bass) unermüdlich über alle kontinente. das album entstand unter mithilfe eines all-star produzententeams, darunter dwayne -supa dups- chin-quee (bruno mars, eminem), sam hollander (train, fitz and the tantrums), yeti beats (los rakas und rebelution vorgängeralben) und donovan -don corleon- bennett (rihanna, sean paul, vybz kartel).

this multi-talented north carolina native makes his debut after having been a consistent source of inspiration with the freshness of his perspective, and sonic tapestry. it is unchained, fluid, and free, like everything on deepblak.

‘convenanza’ is the sound of andrew weatherall looking back at the clutter of a life thoroughly lived and realising it’s too late to tidy it up in any meaningful way. many years of listening to music with a unique ear has resulted in the disordered cabinet of highlights, touchstones, revelations and half recalled good times that make up being lord sabre.

last year, edu imbernon & los suruba delivered cederron, an amazing original track with two awesome remixes from richy ahmed and lee van dowski. for this year, we have something even better. shadows of rigadon is a genuine proggy trip with a huge amount of musical layers, acid basslines and strong beats designed for special moments in your sets. for the remix we count on clarian and his delicate, deep and sophisticated way of understanding the electronic music. this release is a timeless work of art, trust us.

death waltz recording company is proud to exhume another classic from the hammer horror stable in the shape of “dracula a.d. 1972”. bringing the legend of bram stoker s immortal creation into then-present day, the film pits the charismatic count up against the disco decade after being resurrected by a group of hippies performing black magic, with cristopher lee and peter cushing reprising their signature roles. composing this madness was mike vickers, former member of 60’s pop quiet manfred mann, who provided a suitably contemporary score that followed in the footsteps of jazz scores from that era.

es gibt nur wenige sänger in der soul-musik mit einem einzigartigen sound, der in den 60erjahren begann und immer noch stark gefragt ist. mit seiner atemberaubenden stimme, die tief aus dem herzen kommt und reich an emotionen ist, ist george mccrae einer von diesen künstlern. nach einer beeindruckenden karriere mit einer nr.1 in mehr als 40 ländern, mehreren gold- und platin-auszeichungen, einer grammy-nominierung als bester männlicher r&b-sänger im jahr 1975 und der zusammenarbeit mit legenden wie michael jackson & the jackson 5, james brown, kc & the sunshine band, nile rodgers und bernard edwards und bill wyman, ist george mccrae jetzt wieder mit einem neuen grossartig klassisch und frisch klingendem album ”love” zurück.

for two decades now, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. last year we finally set up our label branch and with this we now count 9 releases. ksmisk is norwegian pioneers trulz & robin’s otherworldly alias. between them they have released music for over 15years on labels such as bpitch, eskimo, jackoff, electronic be, dialect, suicide, cymasonic, full pupp and rett & fletta. we are proud to present their first release for ploink. we asked them to describe the two tracks - this is what they sent us: strikkemor - grandmother is out of bed with here knitting kit. sneering and swinging here stick around. she is angry!!!!!!! ginnungagap - before time, there was nothing. an endless void of darkness. until.

180gr after the success of his livet efter detta ep on dvs1s mistress recordings, that reached ras best tracks of 2014, daniel jacques makes a storming return with the launch of his own record label jadac recordings and a four-part series called discovery change.

candido cameron was a cuban percussion maestro who had played with luminaries such as dizzy gillespie, buddy rich and count basie throughout his illustrious musical career which started in 1952. fast forward to 1979 and candido finds himself caught up in the disco boom that had engulfed his adopted new york city. feeling he could add his trademark quick-fire conga and bongo playing to disco s straight 4x4 syncopated rhythm he cut some records with legendary nyc label salsoul. the fruits of this partnership were 2 full length lp s and a handful of 12inch singles that changed the face of underground disco.

this month sees the launch of newly formed label rm records. rmr has been put together by dj and production trio longplay who say that the label will serve not only as a platform for their own productions, but alex agore / james dexter / longplay / m.a.x & lloyd rmr001 also to showcase up and coming talent along with established acts from around the world. the excellent first release features tracks from longplay, m.a.x. & lloyd, james dexter and the mysterious figure that is alex agore.

die zweite vinyl-lp in der serie *the r&b singles collection* bringt 16 der 30 tracks der gleichnamigen cd vol.2 - neu remastered - auf schwarzem lp-vinyl. die ursprünge des northern soul, als ende der 1940er jahre in den südstaaten der rhythm & blues als hybrid aus gospel, blues und jazz entstand. weiterhin erhältlich sind selbstverständlich die einzelnen 7 inch singles mit jeweils zwei tracks.

ihre wurzeln liegen klar im soul und gospel, aber die große aufmerksamkeit bekam candi staton erst, als sie sich mitte der 70er dem disco öffnete. mit *nightlites* gibt es nun eines ihrer besten alben als wiederveröffentlichung. ihr insgesamt zehntes album erschien erstmals 1981 auf sugarhill records und wurde von dave crawford, mit dem staton schon ihren 70er-hit *young hearts run free* aufnahm, produziert. auf dem zuvor lange vergriffenen *nightlites* finden sich neben einer ballade (*hurry sundown*) und einer wunderschönen uptempo-nummer (*count on me*) vor allem songs für den dancefloor. mit *suspicious minds* gibt es zudem ein dance-cover eines altbekannten elvis-klassikers. der vinyl-lp liegt die cd-version des albums bei.

lost soul enterprises offers the debut solo release by blacklauren. a shadowy figure in new yorks techno landscape and one half of the warehouse dj duo the long count, here he offers up a suite of four floor-ready cuts. rhythmically austere and hauntingly atmospheric, each track follows its own complex logic of interlocking parts, giving the illusion of being both static and in constant churning motion.

die 28 songs auf dem limitierten doppelvinyl *feel so fine* sind maßgebliche aufnahmen in der entwicklung des reggae vorläufers, ska (oder blue beat). nachdem der shuffle blues aus new orleans die jamaikanischen soundsystems bis in die 60er dominierte, fingen parallel zur entwicklung des soul in den usa soundsystemgrössen wie arthur duke reid und clement seymour coxson dodd an, eigenene lokale aufnahmen zu produzieren, die sich schliesslich immer weiter vom new orleans r&b entfernten und zu ska wurden.

garofano rosso is the latest project by italian producer giorgio luceri, perhaps better known for his work on jamal moss mathematics label. this new work eschews the house stylings of previous releases in favour of a more classic cosmic approach. echoes of tangerine dreams thief ost mixed with what could perhaps be the imaginary soundtrack to miami vice if it had infact been set in rimini and starred maurizio merli as sonny crockett. these are not however just mere mood pieces, but take the sun, the sea and the body-count straight to the dancefloor. not to be missed. mastered by alek stark. artwork by eric lee. always limited. download code included.

limited as well.. be fast

despite refusing to stick to a single genre, deft is one of those immediately recognisable producers, which is nice because it means we dont have to waste any time comparing him to anyone else. 2013 saw the croydon man skilfully hopping from headphone to dance styles, often within a track, his signature blend of cinematic soundscapes and crisp, intricate percussion covering hip-hop, house, and ambient. whats more, his noteworthy contributions to the burgeoning uk footwork scene means the young producer can now count mark pritchard, dj shadow and rockwell among his biggest fans, and boy does this boy have fans, check this bandcamp review of his project mooncircle ep voight kampff: anything this magician puts out has a pretty good chance of getting you pregnant right in the good old music hole. says it all really

nice price deal !!! a journey where techno enters a land of shadows and rarefactions, escaping images, dark suggestions. where gravity becomes a relative concept, uncertain, and where cinematic refractions count as much as the dance floor rules, in a continuous encounter. it is time to get involved. after plenty non trivial satisfactions, at the end of 2013 comes the time for federico to higher the stakes. he leaves the clockwork project for a solitary one. the richness of past experiences, the years in new york (and in musical and retinal education). a musical background that goes from the sharp and geometrical hip-hop of gang starr to the spirituality of basic channels techno dub, passing through the visionaries of radiohead and to the complex lightness of matthew herbert. now, all this brings the will to give life to a new sinuous, fascinating and profound creature. millennium ep 2014. five tracks that create space, that map an itinerary, that breathe deeply.

the third album from public enemy - originally released in 1990 - back on heavyweight 180 gram

reminiscent of a time where we were releasing 4-tracks sampler every month (remember the secret gems from the vault) it is naturally that we thought about a various artists sampler in order to introduce the new wild bunch. julian m, is french and is taking over right now, releasing here his first track on briquerouge, but the man is no beginner, having released on catwash, homecoming, denote, to name but a few and of course recently on our own rz muzik, his music is deep, acid, techy and ready to please any crowd, ange siddhar is working for laboratory records and works with legendary artists such as ron carroll, paul johnson or chris count and now teams up with illan nicciani on several house project, they have a strong vinyl lovers community following their releases and just joined the label with the show

this weeks drop comes from dj ford foster 5 yes count em five badazz houz jams that absorb everything from soft pink truth to dance mania.

aufgenommen auf einer 24-kanal studer bandmaschine und gepresst in schwarzes vinyl, erscheint im oktober das debüt album von chogori. die gleichnamige veröffentlichung bietet über 15 songs einen unverfälschten eindruck des trios. dabei prägt der analoge synthesizer in verbindung mit dem gestrichenen kontrabass den charakteristischen klang der formation um ralf stritt und gregor kerkmann. im fokus liegt der hypnotisierende rhythmus und die klangliche tiefe ihrer kompositionen.
