soul jazz records are releasing count ossie and the mystic revelation’s seminal 1975 album tales of mozambique in an expanded double album format (including download code), fully remastered and with the inclusion of two bonus rare single-only tracks, full sleevenotes, exclusive photographs and interview.

uk producer ossie has been popping in and out of sight for a few years now, from a solid pair of singles on the always-reliable hyperdub label to his and vocalists paul black and tilzs black orange juice project. on march 31, he steps out again with a new ep for wolf, she knows (that love hurts) heartbeating finds him stepping away from the strains of funky and r&b explored in previous outings to embrace something more approaching straight-up house music.

after last years hyperdub debut with the popular >set the tone< ep, ossie has been busy building a name for himself, as a dj and a producer with both ossie and black orange juice releases. he comes back to hyperdub here with the >ignore ep<, sporting two catchy, housey, broken beat bombs.

2020 midnight visions follow up the excellent photomachine debut. as an overall statement of intent, its a bold and successful one.(resident advisor) with a killer ep from ossie.

introducing black orange juice for 2012 … a cosmic crew of dance floor saviours. nomads of the musical galaxy who are crazy in love and love craze. brought together by ossie of hyperdub records fame. his >tarantula< track was selected in the fact top 50 for 2011, not forgetting the awesome joe goddard >gabriel< remix for greco roman which took his sound to another level and which won him fans the world over… the all singing black orange juice, found it’s sweet spot when ossie recruited two of his closest compadres, paul black and orial, partners in crime with a history of gospel choirs, r&b quartets and lending their vocals to some of londons finest underground heros. they blend the best elements from the uk undergound with a nod to the talents of roska, jamie jones, scratcha dva and mosca, and a wave to those infectious vocal-house sounds reminiscent of hercules and love affair and azari & iii. the sound is both unique and dangerously infectious…

no stranger to the cherry-picked pool of talent at somethinksounds, lucky paul now delivers his second weird and wonderful single >elephant island< on the boutique label, backed by a couple of muscular remixes from hyperdub wonderboy ossie and the unstoppable midland.

lightworks is a new record label based in london and for its first release is proud to present ossies >tarantula<. the track was an underground hit in londons house scene in 2010. initially championed by ossies good friend dj petchy on live fm the track quickly picked up attention from the major players in uk underground music. support soon came from kode 9, joy orbison, ben ufo, untold, brackles, bok bok and more - with kode 9 so impressed that he swiftly signed up ossie for a release on his hyperdub imprint set to drop later this year.

when people think of tuff gong they usually think of bob marley and rightly so, as he was nicknamed and often called tuff gong and from this his early releases which came out on the tough gong label. but tuff gong was also the name of a recording complex named after bob marley hat included a top level recording studio, pressing plant and distribution centre that would allow reggae music to carry on many years after his sad and too early demise. we focus for this release on the work carried out by the great scientist on the songs of the black solidarity label run by ossie thomas (aka joe the boss) recorded at tough gong studios. one of the foremost recording, pressing and distribution facilities on the jamaican island set up from the work of bob marley to carry forward reggae music. hope you enjoy this set.

the opener is a rocking kumina rhythm, with ring-the-alarm metal percussion and exhortatory brass, free the people swirls some apocalyptic reasoning into the foggy, thumping mix. universe in crisis is another emergency call, chuffing headlong down the grooves ... before the beautiful, anthemic chant takes a step back from the fire, closing with a sense of thankful, spiritual reconciliation, the expert drumming and lyrical bone-work in full effect.

after four impressive releases from the likes of ossie and behling & simpson, 2020 midnight visions kicks of its attack on 2013 with a new ep from the uks doc daneeka. last year saw doc team up with benjamin damage for a well received full length on 50 weapons, they live!, which stood apart for its pioneering hybridisation of house, bass and techno. here, on his own terms, doc explores a more extroverted, melodically rich variant of bass heavy house across all four tracks.
