roy ayers (born september 10, 1940) is an american funk, soul, and jazz composer and vibraphone player. ayers began his career as a jazz player, releasing several albums with atlantic records before his tenure at polydor records, during which he progressed a new r&b style, slowly molding the new disco genre.

you ve heard everyone, from timmy regisford to danny krivit, playing this remix of jazz funk legend roy ayers all summer and now its finally available. the ingredients are the usual ones: organ ride, convincing synths and solid bassline.

first solo release on roy ayers own, now legendary uno melodic label in 1983 and surely his best album of the 80s. recorded with a stellar cast of sideman including bobbie humphrey and fela kuti! almost impossible to find in recent years, its now re-pressed. highlights on this strong outing are the title track, everybody and the dance classic chicago!

sasso returns to the reedit with killer versions of the jacksons and roy ayers for the newly established edit series kat. heartbreak hotel is an almost forgotten gem that was originally released in 1980 as this place hotel, with sasso putting his brazilian influences to one side he lets the groove loose and turns this into a modern day boogie masterpiece with a sweeping string swept intro that had us hooked from the off. flip the record and you ll find another soul legend, roy ayers. we all know that we live in brooklyn baby is one of roy ayers most atmospheric and attitude packed tracks, here sasso has dubbed it out and toughened things up, ripping the original harry whitaker arrangement to pieces and leaving us with a synth led, bass heavy edit that is sure to win any dancefloor over

although ultimately a comedy act, the cuban brothers are simultaneously serious musicians who have played with prince, been on the road with james brown and supported fatboy slim, chuck berry and de la soul to name but a few. 2018 will see them perform with a 12-piece band and a rotating roll-call of special guests on board to help them turn 20, including the average white band’s hamish stuart and the jungle brothers’ baby bam. ‘la familia’, released 24th august via sunday best, features a brand new cubans track, ‘i hate hate’, alongside such classics by roy ayers, bill withers, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, children of zeus, d’angelo and more. the cuban brothers clearly have an impeccable taste in music.

exzellente best-of-compilation von roy ayers uno melodic-label, das in den frühen 1980er jahren seine hochphase erlebte. sämtliche tracks sind von roy ayers produziert und komplett neu remastered. während sylvia striplin, eighties ladies und ethel beatty die soul/disco/2step/boogie-seite des labels repräsentieren, stehen bobbi humphrey, justo almario und roy selbst für den jazz/funk/fusion-sound. der sampler endet mit einem der besten momente des labels und den spoken words von rick holmes.

‘lillygood party!’ is the brand new bbe compilation from highly respected swiss dj alex attias. taking its name from a party he runs in his native lausanne, lillygood has gradually evolved into a radio show and even a label, now on its 4th release. refecting the music he plays at the clubnight, ‘lillygood party!’ is packed with funk, disco, deep house and boogie bullets from across the globe. “the idea is to present not only rare or difcult tracks to fnd, simply good grooves for people to play out, or listen to at home.”
from rare japanese disco gems, through spiritual jazz, to genre defying sounds from broken-beat cohorts kaidi tatham and dego, ‘lillygood party!’ takes a unique trip inside the musical mind of one of dance music’s true nonconformists.
alex attias got his start in back in ’88 playing funk, house, jazz, and disco, as well as producing under various monikers such as mustang, freedom soundz or beatless. moving to london in ’97 he started his ‘visions’ label and found himself at the epicentre of the emerging west london ‘broken beat’ scene which grew around his studio at goya. releases on people, planet e, ubiquity, neroli, archive and compost followed, as well as remixes for incognito, 4hero, ennio morricone, sun ra, art blakey, roni size and laurent garnier among others.
