nagano native yoshiki tsuchiya aka mirugas roots are deeply embedded in jazz music. his studies included jazz and funk drumming as well as the catalog of the legendary strata-east label. miruga presents four emotionally deep cuts which fit perfectly on moods & grooves. each track in the spirit garden ep tells a unique story as seen through the eyes of yoshiki. into the zone is a plea for people of all countries to come together based on recent world events, in heaven above is a prayer for those lost in japanese natural disasters such as the one at the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant. the pain, sorrow, and absence of love is felt in without words, while scenery in my mind is an insight of mirugas dream or philosophy: dont stop or look back, keep moving, and make things happen. if you appreciate the original spirit of what was once known as deep house, then you are sure to find pleasure in this offering from miruga.

during the 1970s, innovative musicians redefined the sound of jazz, funk, and soul music, digging deeper than ever before to unearth powerful new sonic textures. one such pioneer was keyboardist weldon irvine, a jazz-funk luminary who released some of the most revered recordings of the era. irvine’s 1975 album “spirit man” is a true masterpiece, full of infectious grooves and otherworldly electronic elements. entirely composed, arranged, conducted, and produced by irvine himself, the album remains a potent artistic statement, both deeply spiritual and intensely funky. crate diggers may recognize the opening track “we gettin’ down”, which was sampled by a tribe called quest for their classic single “award tour”. now, “spirit man” is back in print on limited-edition vinyl, complete with updated artwork. order this official deluxe reissue now!

eric boss â&#128,&#147, closer to the spirit just when you thought that the funk 45 game was becoming a little bit too predictable, mocambo once again hits with a sureshot single to smash dancefloors across the pond. eric boss (dj e da boss, myron & e, the pendletons...) needs little introduction. his 2ndouting with the german funk heavyweights anticipates their forthcoming collaborative album - a modern love- with a raw uptempo funk track, oozing old school vibes, flipped live and uncut on tape with a fresh style that is all their own. limited edition vinyl 45 includes instrumental for dedicated djs.

a made up sound aka 2562 and dexter deliver two remixes for arttu featuring jerry the cat. nuclear funk and get up off it get transformed from raw chicago influenced cuts into darker electro/techno hybrids by these two dutch techno wizzards. both known for their sharp productions that cross over between techno, electro and bass music they have a fresh take on the original versions. by the choice of remixers we didnt expect the standard house remixes, something more challenging would fit the spirit of the originals. this remix 12 inch might be is somewhat of a dark horse in the house orientated clone royal oak catalogue, but expectations are to there be messed up.

next up on frustrated funks limited vinyl series is italian producer and visual artist federico leocata. this young producers sound aesthetics can easily be compared with dataphysix style of production with its snappy, minimal and dark characteristics (who knows what their real connection might be). but when looking a bit further federico manages to create a world of its own where unpleasant, obscure and sinister sounding tracks bring you in a dark imaginary world of ropes, burning leather and foggy torture chambers. this is the second ff release in this series of limited hand numbered and hand stamped colored vinyl 12s.first come first serve.

>he mentioned he was a house head, something about being old school<henry maldonado knows a thing or two about dance music. having made his mark in the 90s on strictly rhythm and maw, the new york native more recently delved into disco endeavors, both as one-half of native underground on wurst and under the shade, and also solo as son of sound on tirk, and now mystery meat.spirit catcher is peak-time filtered disco house action of the highest order. punchy drums, a huge bassline and massive floor-filling vocals do the damage every time. she rides takes the tempo down a notch, bringing that electro funk vibe you know all the kids were poppin and lockin to way back when.thanks in advance keeps things firmly in the 80s with affected female vox and killer arpeggios aplenty. mmmm, the meat sure is tasty this week!

a funky peak hour pair of goodies. doo kicks off the ep with its rubbery bassline, keys, jerky rhythm and sustained strings that provide the male chant, doo doo doo a comfortable bed to bounce on. the meat of the track contains a lengthy piano solo by antonio di mauro driving the point home. full of drops and fills that build the energy then releases it ferociously. anthem is exactly what the title suggests. it is another 2am jump off (musically that is!) jam. the deep bass & dense kick supports the 80s styled chicago jackin snares, the persistent hi hat and intermittent piano strikes meshing well with the watery bleep sounding keys and string stabs. the melody of the bass gets redirected as the twinkling keys create a sense of tension for the samba ish breakdown. nimble fingered, antonio di mauro is at work again, producing a sound reminiscent of patrick adams styled keyboards from his legendary phreek lp. ends cold. supported by: dj spen, deli g, roger sanchez, joey negro, dj pope, kenny carpenter, franck roger, dj yass, master kev, mark stone (udm show), groove assassin, sven love, davidson ospina, dj dealer, timmy vegas, dan (liquid people), deep josh, danny marquez.
