funk and breaks

from house to jazz fusion

fresh off his latest release on ndatl, june jazzin presents his shine on ep2 on his own label are you house2? the south african artist shows what deep house is all about with 3 new lushy and joyful tracks.

continuing an impassioned survey of nigerian boogie music kicked off earlier this year, the swedish record collector/illustrator leolyxxx extends his exploration of the african nation’s sonic riches on plastic inners ii. still making sense of the vast trove of vinyl amassed over 2017, leo boiled things down into another 80-plus-minute joyride of his favorite selections. staying both on theme (a showcase of nigerian music’s stylistic diversity and quality) and energy (uptempo euphoria-bringers, slow-motion highlife and mood-elevating r&b), this second installment maintains the unique, vibrant narrative established in his previously acclaimed plastic inners - volume 1.

remixes jid020 is the twentieth installment in the jazz is dead catalog. limited green vinyl edition.

twelve minutes of blissful melody, hypnotic drums and quaking bass, in florian meyerãs fresh mix-up of west african polyrhythms with the sensibilities of classic us minimalism. jordan gcz from juju & jordash edges his remix into the outlands of free jazz, with pulsating bass drum and spiritual synths, like terrence dixon beaming down from saturn.

reissue - miraculously rare and seriously obscure killer dubs. one of the very few hard core seventies dub albums mixed by errol brown. a selection of solid dubs originally recorded in 1978 by bb seaton at duke reid s legendary treasure isle studio and mixed in-house by the duke s nephew errol brown. a radical departure for all concerned this bold dub album was never officially released although a few clandestine copies reputedly did the new york rounds at the time. mojo by david katz - extremely rare 1978 dub album stands up against any from that era - -errol brown began engineering through family connections, producer duke reid was his uncle. trained by the highly-skilled byron smith, chief engineer at reid s treasure isle facility, brown cut his teeth mixing alton ellis, the paragons, peter tosh and marcia griffiths. -orthodox dub- dates from 1978 when bb seaton of the gaylads was working closely with brown at treasure isle, cutting tracks with ken boothe and mikey dread along with self-produced work, and although only ever issued in tiny numbers as pre-release lp in the bronx, these dubs pack a mighty punch, easily on par with any of the dub sets issued in the era by channel one or joe gibbs. outstanding tracks include -roots rockas-, a stripped down cut of boothe s -who really cares-, and -black forest rock-, a bass-heavy reading of seaton s -is life-.-

the star-studded sai galaxy project returns, bringing together west african legends steve monite and rob with multi-instrumentalist simon durrington, guitar maestro alfred bannerman and egypt 80 trumpet player bade for a second ep of vital afro-disco and soul.

following her acclaimed debut album crave, french singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist leonie pernet returns with le cirque de consolation: a world where borders dissolve and everyone makes their own unique and singular utopia. the record questions the links between pop music, african cultures and electronic music, neo- classical music, or the place of the voice, whether human or synthetic

there are some records that manage to sound both of a time and utterly timeless and bon voyage organisation s jungle? quelle jungle? (a nod to supertramp s crisis? what crisis?) is one of those albums. its silken-smooth production, irresistible grooves, funk-tinged guitars, lush soundscapes and general glowing presence could easily lead one to believe that have dug up a lost disco gem from the 1970s. however, behind the disco-pop gleam lies eerie dystopian sci-fi ruminations of a futuristic bent and tones that can often feel as french as they do asian or african. this sort of cross-continental exploration is an expansion on bvo s previous two eps, the man behind the organisation, adrien durand, says. -i tried to continue the musical expedition between dystopian science-fiction haunted africa - plus haitian vaudou on -soleil dieu- - and futuristic asia. addressing, in a double entendre manner, some of the political issues that i am sensitive to.- in fact the jungle in question in the album s title is a metaphorical one and one that creates a vast series of environments for durand to explore such subjects as world trade, utopian ideals and themes of idols, as well as of time and communication. however, one will need to speak french to decipher such explorations, as well as shake off the natural impulse to move with every glorious beat on its 13 tracks, of which are moved along by maud nadal and agathe bonitzer s golden vocals.
