rare groove spectrum vol.2

aufgenommen im jahr 2012 nach ihrem durchbruch für freestyle records. seitdem im tresor von the apples gelagert und gereift! es schien, als wäre die band längst überfällig für eine rückkehr zum label, und was könnte es besseres geben, als dieses kraftvolle, erhebende und headbangende blur-cover zu veröffentlichen.

since the early 1990s, keyboard player jessica lauren has been a familiar part of london s alternative music scene. jessica s keyboard skills have augmented the live performances and studio recordings of world renowned artists such as jean carne, tom browne, dexter wansel and james mason, japan s united future organisation, and uk soul diva juliet roberts. her previous freestyle album jessica lauren four (2012) highlighted jessica s minimalist approach, something rare and refreshing in the jazz world: she instills her compositions and playing with a refined sense of space which makes her music as much about what she doesn t play as what she does.

wer über jahrzehnte hinweg tolle musik hören wollte, musste nur einen blick auf den bildschirm werfen. tv- und film-soundtracks waren oft die arbeit von us-legenden wie lalo schiffrin, oliver nelson & quincy jones und ihrer britischen kollegen ronnie hazelhurst und alan hawkshaw. sie alle schufen den soundtrack der 60er und 70er jahre zu einer zeit, als film und tv-musik unverschämt funky waren. hier knüpft auch andy tolman und sein musikalisches cartel an, von jazz zu soul und funk bietet cyphe- den soundtrack zu einem imaginären film.

chemical brothers iconic 2nd album from 1997 sees a well deserved 20th anniversary reissue on silver coloured double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

omar has a totally unique, individual style and sound still marks him out as a future thinking and utterly unrivaled artist, who has collaborated with so many legendary names that it would be foolish to deny his worldwide reputation - who would dare contradict the likes of stevie wonder, erykah badu, carleen anderson, angie stone, common and fellow fans and followers like maxwell and jarrod lawson?
following on from 2013’s album the man, 2016 sees his new long player further cement this undeniable reputation. love in beats is omars 8th studio album of his long, illustrious career and may just be the most eclectic & varied to date. somewhat more electronic in it’s conception and sound than it’s predecessor, love in beats incorporates soul, caribbean rhythms, an undercurrent of funk, with touches of zouk, a jazzy waltz, spoken word and also features collaborations with us soul legend leon ware, blue note pianist robert glasper, grime mc ty, guadeloupe born singer jean-michele rotin, and uk soultress natasha watts, the floacist and mayra andrade, the cape verdean born singer who lives and records in paris.
co produced by scratch professer, omars grammy winning brother, this collection should create excitement worldwide, the sounds are varied - but all have omars’ unique fingerprint on them, style and substance beautifully merged!

the chemical brothers invite us to a trip through their soundscapes. great 2002 album.

excellent electronic journey... re:issue album...

brian auger, the london born keyboard genius & musical pioneer, lauded and loved by everybody from herbie hancock to mose allison, from the brand new heavies to the beastie boys, whose tracks have been sampled by mos def, common, air and kid loco, and his original compositions covered by sarah vaughan, richard groove holmes and he is the proud recipient of a us congressional award for services to jazz!
back to the beginning..again is a fantastic collection that demonstrates why brian auger is considered legendary.

2016 re-issue, 1997 milestone! includes the hit singles block rockin beats and dont stop the rock!

australia’s deep street soul, since signing to freestyle records in 2008, have earned a reputation as being right at the grittiest end of the hard funk scene who made a big impact from the outset - with even the mc5’s wayne kramer saying that their version of kick out the jams “... is the greatest version of the song ever recorded!”. from their debut self titled instrumental long player, to the 2011 follow up look out, watch out (and the addition of vocalist mighty may johnston) this band have grown, matured and honed thier songwriting skills, as well as maintaining their rare ability to really capture the essence of the original raw funk & soul artists that inspire them. 2016 sees them return with this quite spectacular new collection. whilst the diamond hard, driving grooves remain undiminished, there is also no doubt that the bands song writing has developed to an equally assured level. case in point is souls come alive - from monique boggia’s wurlitzer electric piano intro, the blistering horns and may johnson’s simply exemplary singing - the songs instant appeal will be lost on no one with an ear for genuine organic soul music. come alive also features guest vocalists joshua tavares and kylie auldist - come alive is deep street souls finest work - no if’s, but’s or maybe’s. it s a done deal.

perfekt getimed, kehrt omar nun mit einem brandneuen album zurueck, von dem nicht wenige sagen, es sei ohne zweifel das stŠrkste seiner gesamten karriere. der wirbel, den bereits die veroeffentlichung des titeltracks the man als erste single ausloeste, bestaetigt, dass omar sich unbestreitbar auf der hoehe seine kunst befindet szene-groe§en wie gilles peterson (bbc 6), trevor nelson (radio 2) und jamie cullum haben sich zu recht fuer die nummer begeistert und sie als neuerlichen beweis seiner legendaeren faehigkeit gefeiert, umwerfend eingaengige melodien zu schreiben, der er auf diesem brandneuen, jetzt schon als klassiker zu bezeichnenden song, auch noch eine produktion verpasste, die funkier ist, als alles was man bisher von ihm kannte
