mr. k gets jazzy on this new 12-inch from most excellent unlimited. the breakdown of the smooth r&b staple -street life- stands out with a steady four-on-the-floor pulse that contrasts with the funk backbeat of the verses. working exclusively with this portion, krivit teases out six-and-a-half slinky minutes of sophisticated groove, weaving percussion and vocalist randy crawford s ad-libs in and out of the mix in tantalizing fashion. as a dj, danny krivit is renowned for his willingness to throw a funky curveball into the mix, and for the b-side of this single he gives us a peek at one of his secret weapons. a year after yusef lateef released his hit version of -nubian lady- in 1972, pianist roy meriwether was at a small club in dayton, ohio with his trio and laid down a sprawling live take that covered the entire side of a album, including a bridge that pushed the languid tempo of the original to a sassy upbeat workout. mr. k s edit focuses on this section, leaving us with nine minutes of gritty, get-down funky jazz complete with thunderous drum break. whether working as a surefire party starter or a clever changeup, -nubian lady- is a dancer.

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.

*gently down your stream* von the four mints markiert einen kreativen höhepunkt innerhalb der columbus, ohio, soul-szene, an der verbindungsstelle zwischen den 60er und 70er jahren. the four mints waren eine der einflussreichsten lokalen gruppen ihrer Ära - und mit unterstützung von columbus doyen und capsoul hoflieferanten bill moss - unter den wenigen, die ein full length album veröffentlichten. die liste der gastmusiker liest sich wie das line-up einer midwest supergroup, mit überraschenden auftritten des in indianapolis beheimateten vibraphonisten billy wooten und schlagzeuger bobby allen von den fabulous originals aus dayton, ohio.

sspt005 / inversions is the second outcome by plural on separate skills recordings. the new release by daytons mastermind james johnson is a clear statement to follow up with four powerful dance-floor oriented tracks. again made up of driven metallic chords, dub and detroit techno elements in the vein of the last release, this 300 copies limited 12inch vinyl record is refined to be a killer!
all tracks written and produced by james plural johnson, dayton ohio usa. masterings by christoph grote-beverborg at dubplates & masterings studios berlin.
