10 inch special on the a to z label the lodger unpicks and reassembles two staples in his own inimitable style & dancefloor devastation ensues... limited repress run on these - don t snooze ! another sureshot !

kicking things off on the a side is herbie s jam , an effortlessly cool house edit of the legendary jazz pioneer that features an infectious piano loop, live drums and a funky bassline which we re sure is going to become a staple at day time parties and sunset sets this summer. there s also an incredibly smooth and soulful trumpet sample to complete the jam and tie everything together. on the flip you ll find a more up beat and peak time affair called oliver that keeps the same jam session vibe as on the a side, but this time employs sultry organ keys, breezy guitar licks, and a truly groovy saxophone contribution that makes you just want to get up and move. just as with their previous releases, this is a hand stamped, limited, 12- that won t be around for long.

a-z is a new label started by al zanders ! this stand-out new production talent has already, across only a handful of releases (as lodger on the stamp label & under his own name on karakul & blind jacks journey) made quite a name for himself ! a-z is a new platform for his distinctive and eclectic output after sharing a stage at shambala festival, al was impressed by the 7 piece sheffield group hot diamond aces, who sent the crowd into a dancing frenzy with their bombastic brass licks and afro-beat inspired rhythms. so impressed in fact, that he approached them afterwards with the idea of doing a remix and starting a label. the reworked version of dsomc is a certified corker that has already been tearing up dancefloors. for the flip, things get deeper with an unashamedly happy house jam raiz , which features some twinkling keys from sleepsang. perfect for the summer!

repress 2016 - the king of afrobeat is reinterpreted by the uks lodger. true sunshine music just in time for summer! for the third in the stamp series, we turn our attention to west-africa and the black president himself. englands lodger has crafted two superb reinterpretations that are part edit, part remix and all parts dancefloor dynamite. odoo and afro cuts may be instantly recognisable yet they are cunningly extended, subtly tweaked in all the right places and most importantly retaining the source materials core, that inimitable nigerian funk. limited vinyl pressing - hand stamped.
