official mr bongo reissue of a vintage highlife classic from 3 true giants of the sound.

late 80s highlife from ghana on 12 inch vinyl.

‘pat thomas introduces marijata’ is a seminal ghanian album that fuses highlife, reggae, folk, funk and soul, from legendary vocalist pat thomas. originally released in 1976 on gapophone records. ‘marijata’ was a group made up of three members – kofi ‘electric’ addison on drums, bob fischlan on organ and nat osmanu on guitar, hailing from ghana. pat thomas career began in 1969 with the ‘broadway dance band’, leaving a year later to join the ‘uhuru dance band’. he then played with ebo taylor’s ‘blue monks’ and finally formed the ‘sweet beans’ in 1973 where he really made his name. the group released ‘false lover’ in 1974, split and then reformed as marijata, releasing ‘marijata’ (also available on mr bongo) and this album, ‘pat thomas introduces marijata’. thomas career spans more than 50 years and he still tours regularly across the world. replica original artwork, official mr bongo reissue. licensed from gapophone records courtesy of george prah.

pat thomas and ebo taylor are the jagger and richards of nigerian highlife. drawn together by a mutual love of the genre – and an equally intense desire to stop it becoming moribund and bereft of ideas – ghana’s two most progressive musicians added a western twist to this traditional form of african music and gave it relevance again.

pat thomas - coming home! original ghanaian highlife & afrobeat classics 1964-1981

the french born but valencia established silvain soulier has grown as his home label sincopat. darlyn vlys has reached top labels as suara, mos ferry, terminal m, form, noir or avotre. he joins now the prolific brighton boy thomas gandey, aka cagedbaby, with a succession of club hits in his career, a really close friend and collaborator with radio slave and fatboy slim and a regular on get physical amongst others. they present two amazing original tracks that show perfectly the vocal skills of thomas and the edge production of darlyn vlys. hero and dont do it are a mixture of breaks, organic bass and cinematic music. yousef, the man behind circus recordings, delivers a surprising rework to destroy the dancefloors. by his side, stefano ritteri choose the dynamism to get a solid piece of tech-house.

tresor records is proud to announce a new commission, bringing together two of its most time-honored contributors. berlin’s thomas fehlmann and detroit’s terrence dixon came together in detroit to produce this expressive album. an avant-premiere live performance of this album was presented at tresor’s annual detroit showcase in may 2017. composed of six titles and exploring a wide range of rhythms and emotions, “we take it from here” is a celebration of resilience, patience, creativity and devotion.

uneven paths: deviant pop from europe, 1980-1991 is the second multiple artist compilation on music from memory and is compiled by record connoisseur raphael top-secret and label man jamie tiller. the compilation brings together twenty one tracks from across the continent, exploring the more unusual and unexpected sides of pop music produced during that period.

instrumental tourist, by tim hecker and daniel lopatin (oneohtrix point never), is the first chapter of sstudios (software studio series), a new venture in the software recording co.s expanding catalog. sstudios invites artists in the field of electronic music to create collaborative works of quality and vision. with a deliberate focus on source material of a synthetic and mimetic nature, hecker and lopatin designed a sound palette from the acoustic resonance of digitally-sourced >instruments of the world<.
limited edition double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve, cd-copy of the full album included.

58 minutes of proto house, denizen loops, far flung folk, post punk, cosmic rock and other junk. after forging new ground with his previous sonic hotchpots >miscellaneous mutant mishaps< and >the exploding disco inevitable<, dom thomas returns with another brain melting audio escapade into the ether. the third album in his dynamic anti-mixtape series on brutal music is salubriously entitled >synthetic soul & other junk<, giving thomas free license to curate a mood that takes the unsuspecting listener on a cascading journey of edits and loops, blurring the lines of traditional dj mixes and original compostion. >synthetic soul< is composed of a variety of genres from >international disco frankenstien< thomas musical heritage, warping together vastly disparate records into a rich sonic tapestry. repeated listening recommended with or without substances...

after a 2 and a half year wait i finally managed to knock out a new single. its actually only my 3rd solo single ever. im very happy with it but ive got mixed feelings trying to describe it. you spend a year working on a track and a lazy shop worker or journalist will lump you into the >cosmicbalearicspacewhatever< straightjacket in 2 seconds, i can at least resist to do the same… anyway, two are quite psychedelic and one is some kind of cover version of one of my favourite villalobos trax. as you can hear ive had loads of fun fooling around in the studio playing the bass, percussion, drums(badly) and synths(even worse…)…
