kampana s debut release was a global hit across the house, disco and tropical scene, with support from heavyweights such as francois k, soul clap and gilles peterson. the label is back just in time for summer with three more doses of peak time fire from aroop roy, who has gained a fine reputation for the quality and widespread appeal of his releases. you say is a funk-fuelled number with gritty retro vocals and guitar, driven by a warm disco groove and 80s arp-synth. the feel-good vibes gradually build into an anthemic floor-filling climax. taj mahal reworks a brazilian classic into a full on house workout, reminiscent of roys popular series on gamm. mapora is an original number that will blend well into both deep house and afro-centric sets. the track builds nicely with filtered samples and syncopated vocals, coming in with an infectious highlife guitar line and late night synth stabs, to get mind and body moving.

ltd repress !!! another main player of the current elite of deephouse producers makes an anonymous but definitely not impersonal appearance on the ever great story imprint. right from the beginning of >fascinated< we get slowely woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress and when the eeriy string, gentle harp sweeps and a swinging yet almost coy beat fall in it only adds to the feeling of hazy, latenight intimacy. >taj mahal< has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and deep twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors and feel like you are lifted above ground and even >you better find a job< - despite its title - doesnt even try to pull you back to earth and into dull reality. its warm pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and flanger sounds much rather urge you to flip that record over again and stay in the groove

nice price deal !!!
