a journey into melodies and harmonies. we have landed back in south africa again to join forces with the rising star bevan godden once again for a project that has soulful written all over it. bevan released his debut record with seasons limited earlier this year titled it feels like which set him running on the right foot in the industry. followed up by a release on tribe records titled muziki wa africa ep with arnaud d from france. bevan is back with project mate bobezy and livingstone on vocals with a project titled rise. also included in the package are mixes from aphreme, g family & dj hypnosis. enjoy the music and always play this record loud

transatlantyk return with a double header informed by the dark continent label regular universo (architect of their best ep no less) cooks up a splendid slice of culturally appropriated, campfire heat. its graceland era paul simon fed through some expertly assembled 21st century software. on the flip ryan r (reynolds maybe?) offers up umqondo. as western polands answer to awesome tapes from africa, we d say he knows from whence he takes. its a groove so thick even dr livingstone would have trouble hacking through it, an immersive ride though to be sure, and one which will make infinitely more sense at 4am sunday morning than it does at midday on a tuesday.

dutch dj/producer de sluwe vos comes with his first ep for 4lux. three mental and hard hitting club tools in broken snare, poltergeist and the bullet. de sluwe slows down the pace on the feeling featuring the voice of beaumont livingstone.

as belfast house maestros extended play stride into their thirties, they decided it was time to commit some of their solid workouts to wax.

new slightly off season various artist release! the label say: >after last years summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at wphs hq is up to par again! luckily so is the music, as this edition of the summer special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. but like a true dr livingstone red d set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!<

nachdem die gruppe 1973 von ihrem sommerurlaub zurückgekehrt war, widmeten sich benny andersson und björn ulvaeus der komposition neuer lieder. der erste song, der in diesen sessions aufgenommen wurde, war dance (while the music still goes on), welcher sehr von den aufnahmen von phil spector inspiriert war. es folgten im oktober die aufnahmen für my mama said, honey honey, what about livingstone und suzy-hang-around. im november wurde lediglich der king kong song aufgenommen, der später von vielen fans als „der albernste song, den die band jemals produziert hat“ bezeichnet wurde.

if you will permit me to get a little honors english on yall, classical scholar sir richard livingstone once stated that >our danger is not too few, but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.< say what? well, take flo ridas predicament on new david guetta single where dem girls at: upon stepping into the club, so many fly females catch his eye simultaneously that he finds himself incapable of deciding where to begin. as hes struggling to resolve this deadlock over the veteran djs stark synths and four-on-the-floor percussion, an especially alluring specimen swoops in to make the decision for him - not only is she gonna kick it with him, but shell bring her equally fly friends along for the ride. playing the woman in question, young money heavy-hitter nicki minaj attacks the beat as only she can, dropping what may well be her most off-the-wall guest 16 since monster. so, readers, this dancefloor-scorcher + remixes on this vinyl will whet your appetite for more body-moving bangers, no doubt about that
