while a series of projects are slated for release under the dirt tech reck banner, the first is the electric street orchestra. its inspiration is from those who are called street people. forgotten people from a forgotten city. it has also steeped in the detroit tradition of ignoring the notion of genre and taking a broad range of elements and inspiration to create something that is both new and familiar. bringing together a constellation of detroits sonic masters. dtr-01 takes urs mad mike and agent chaos, house music king theo parrish, hip hop/house percussionist dez andres, and rock/funk master guitarist duminie deporres, and joins them through the lens of jeedo’s vision of the future

the excellent beats in space label continues to impress with each release. following up lauers monster mascat ring down release, eddie rushchas celebrated secret circuit project steps up once again, bringing us *afterlife*. a typically freeform analogue synth workout with fx drenched vocals and that unmistakeable secret circuit vibe who better to handle the remix than the ukraines very own analogue ambassador, vakula. his treatment is a textbook vakula production, warm, expertly evolving, raw machine funk. wrapping things up we have a dub version, in the truest sense of the word, an utterly spaced out and remade rub down. typically superb artwork and shrinkwrapped sleeve packaging as you have come to expect.

here is the second extract of the zombie zombie new lp >rituels d un nouveau monde<. in addition of the original mix, we asked few friends to take care of the remixes. dj sotofett, the man behind the great sex tags mania label, delivers 14 mn of pleasure, in a moodymann fashion. funk break, deep chords, amazing break using the synths of the original... on the other side, the french blocks from discodeine are giving other vision of a club orientated mix. strange delays heavy beats and tropical stabs

vs take on house music comes at the listener from an outsiders perspective, as his native ukraine traditionally hasnt been a hotbed of this genre. consequently, his new album on nuearth kitchen, 13th district, hits your ears at an odd angle, as v (aka vakula, aka mikhaylo vityk) bends somewhat familiar tropes into fascinating, fresh shapes. clearly enamored of american funk, soul, and jazz, v recalibrates these familiar elements—the amino acids of house—into dream-logic, hypnotic scenarios that accentuate their visceral and cerebral qualities.

fear of flying unleash their first ever lp with dutchman ivano tetelepta undertaking the honours. the 8 tracks on the vinyl are a step away from the traditional straight up 4/4 route that fof usually tread, feeling that for an lp to make a splash in the modern era it has to be more about the flow of tracks as a whole, rather than just a double pack of straight up house beats. there has to be a splash more emotion and feeling with the emphasis on mood. yet that isnt to say there arent club worthy tracks, far from it. the glorious twisted 120 and deep tech funk 119 are custom made for the dancefloor and are exclusive to the vinyl release

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

zierliche dame mit gewaltiger soul-stimme geht auf reisen, macht bei befreundeten musikern station und kommt schließlich mit 4 stücken feinster tanzmusik auf dem acker an - so die zusammenfassung der aktuellen geschehnisse. tatsächlich handelt es sich hier um 3 unabhängige produktionen und einen remix, die zum song sunbelt regret von miss natnat entstanden sind. dementsprechend abwechslungsreich geht zur sache. wolfgang lohr entfaltet ein gewitztes wechselspiel zwischen klassischem song und elektronischem abgang, mal steht sein butterweicher house groove im vordergrund, dann wieder gehört das stereopanorama voll und ganz der stimme von miss natnat. zusammen mit tinush schlendert sunbelt regret noch etwas entspannter heran, hier kommen die loungigen pianosounds besonders gut zur geltung. wenig überraschend und doch immer wieder faszinierend. der zündende funk von mollono.bass, der in seinem remix einen schwerpunkt auf die ausdruckstarke stimme legt. die lübecker artenvielfalt macht ihrem namen schließlich alle ehre, indem sie miss natnat im kontext eines verträumten, hochgradig melodiösen grooves präsentiert.

the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.

basement freaks return to jalapeno with a 4 track ep of killer funk, heavy, heavy beats and deep blues vocals. always one of the serious players in the ghetto funk scene – his music has always been able to transcend genres and gets dropped in clubs and parties round the world.

bring u up originally appeared on romans blackmale label in 1995 as a rumbling slice of new jersey garage complete with gospel samples and romanthony collaborator the trojan horse. it was a bit of a cult favourite with underground heads like dj deep. it wasnt until roman completely re-produced and re-sang the song in 2000 that it fully took on anthem status. out went the heavy kicks and hypnotic moods and in came james brown horn stabs and a live beat that sounded like bernard purdie had joined him for the session (the drums were actually provided by roman himself). the result was an instant club hit with everyone from pete tong to francois kevorkian that reached (a very respectable 74) in the uk national charts. on this 12 inch deetrons takes the funk vibe of romans 2000 version and toughens it up for todays dancefloors, lee webster adds a monster baseline and some serious beats. on the flip-side the original blackmale version is re-issued on vinyl for the first time as is an unreleased dj friendly edit of the 2000 version done by kevin mckay.

continuing their forays into the world of yesteryear grooves unabated, those pesky hell-dwelling lumberjacks are at it again, this time drafting in o boogie and red greg for some disco funk finesse for the smoothest get-downs. o boogie lords it over the first side, leaning heavy on a rich piano hook that hammers lower register chords over an incessant disco tick, while evergreen track >papa was a rolling stone< gets re-versioned in such a floor-burning fashion you will need asbestos boots just to get out alive. red gregs >inner rhythm< plies familiar tropes into a sweet instrumental groove that makes all the right moves.

continuing their quest to unearth deep house gems new and old, vibes & pepper introduce the world to manuel keyz with a killer four-track workout that makes all the classic moves. the strings and keys come in seductive, nocturnal arrangements, while the snippets of vocal come from true soul divas, all atop of bumping garage house funk. the tune that stands out to our ears is >orange love<, replete with sexy saxophone fit for lil louis and dreamy key flourishes that give a considered and wistful tone to the track, but really there is plenty to work with on all four corners of this ep.

ozs inkswel sends an irresistible four track package zig zagging across the globe to the door of fort unthank on the banks of loch firecracker, somewhere in the mists of scotland, via his very own powerful boogie powered super collider. opener do it is how its done, atomic funk which has been split, stretched and closely inspected, then reassembled to create a dancefloor chain reaction. the funk particles then pass through the americas and pick up the one and only chico mann. a man known for his like minded awareness of, and abilities with, the worldwide ways of the electric boogaloo, he adds his abstract afro cuban theories to tu machito. next, its a sharp turn eastwards to the old countries, whilst riding the waves of lfo bounce. uks funkineven, another kindred spirit in the search for man made machine soul, provides further refinement to the initial wave hypothesis, resulting in a glimpse of the elusive dark matter that is often talked about, but rarely seen or heard

fantastic reissue of two highly sought-after disco gems from canadian indie label attic. first up is sparkles awesome and very rare piece of jazzy disco-funk >disco madness< from 1979. a soaring high-voltage killer of a tune, it sports a pacy bassline supported by high-quality breaks and über-funky guitar riffs. flip over for the great que tal america!< from two man sound who despite hailing from belgium managed to create this monster latino classic. seamlessly fusing samba, jazz, bossanova and disco, this record was a huge underground anthem in new york back in the 70s. with its immensely funky salsa grooves and fabulous rhythm combo, you can understand why this track has been sampled to death. unmissable disco at its finest - sheer class!

this time last year, life and death the dream team comprised of modern house heroes tale of us and thugfucker released a dual weapon of stealth killer club tracks ‘step aside. now given the royal remix treatment by super producers carl craig and jamie jones plus rework flexing their minimal funk, the ep gets a whole new lease of life.

the son of a prominent nicaraguan politician, alfonso noel lovo was a choice target for the sandinista rebels who hijacked his homeward flight from miami in december of 1971, ultimately putting several rounds through the talented musicians torso and hand. after several years, and as many surgeries, he would break new ground on this psychedelic swirl of latin jazz and pan-american funk with his musical partner, percussionist jose chepito areas of santana fame. long unavailable, la gigantona has lived its forty years lost in the grooves of a single acetate. imagine a nicaraguan take on herbie hancocks afro-jazz masterpiece mwandishi with some of the most penetrating, left-field guitar youve never heard.

french fries delivers two originals on the cutting edge of modern bass. “space alarm” is right up in your face but artfully holds back right when you think it will go over the top. the inside “smoke wine” is more in the vein of last years smash “yo vogue,” yet more understated and deep which is rare for the genre. when i play these at the right time they always solicit an audible “ooooh” from the crowd at thedrops. remix #1 is by justin martin who really blows it up dirtybird style with almost a breakbeat old school electro beat. remix #2 is by dirtybird newcomers goldffinch via belgium who also deliver a really funk laden club version. both remixes are ace and the full release brings a very fresh sound to the label.
