mink & shoes is a gooey drip of murky low slung slinky disco, falling somewhere in between smokey retro futurism and hazy desolation. it s a seductively squiggling romp through the outer reaches of the cosmos sky-crawlingly atmospheric, slow-motion dance floor abstraction for acid heads and space cadets. with navid izadis intoxicating vocals its quite something, and comes in three flavours: dub, radio and original.

it is back! the very first 12 inch from chicagos shoes crew repressed and re- released.

for the past few years, young denmark vessey has been releasing a series of albums, both as a leader of carious groups and as a sideman in various others, which definitely mark him as one of the most exciting young players in music. vessey’s last album prior to this (2013’s cult classic) employed scud one for the rhythm section. vessey, in his own playing suggest that he may be forging a link between the new mainstream and prior innovations. it is to vessey’s credit that this album achieves a surprising degree of unity. there is little of the haphazard feeling that too often arrends blowing sessions by pick-up bands. it would be easier to mistake this for a group which works regularly. part of that is simply because vessey is a part of the new mainstream, the part that is seeking beyond the accepted common language to find ways of extending it. the rest is because of vessey’s unusual talent.

the gift is a series dj house shoes started to spotlight under the radar producers. pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies on 180 gram vinyl. raj mahal was a colleague of house shoes in the detroit hip-hop scene in the 1990s, a scene he joined just about the time fantastic volume one was recorded (1996). when he moved to chicago and refined his style, there was widespread talk that raj would follow in the footseps of other detroit alumni by releasing a proper album. that album has finally come.

more edited downbeat soul tracks from the slow soul flow mix by shoes. edits of tracks by leela james, erykah badu, donnie hathaway, taj mahal and george jackson. lots of funky drums and laidback vibes for all. limited pressing as usual so dont sleep (or you will miss out).

the shoes edit crew are back with a 5 track ep of slow motion, dubbed out edits of classic soul tunes by aretha franklin, eddie kendricks, al green, frankie beverly, and marvin gaye. another winner so dont sleep on this! edit soul headz

house of disco records debut ep, shoes off brings together a cosmopolitan array of talent and showcases a supremely eclectic record that lives up to the apt label name and so much more. for the labels first release, its been a daring and adventurous move that looks to have paid off handsomely already, judging by a glowing adulation the snippets have received on the official soundcloud. with a delicious blend of some of the finer points of both house and disco, delivered with a multinational execution, this is a release thats brilliance will serve to be heightened as soon as it gets intimate with needle and deck.

4 tiga tracks from the ciao lp

for berkane sol 18 we present the vinyl debut of the hugely talented aleks zen. he calls his outfit >neon bounty< and its easy to hear why. his brightly coloured music is like the soundtrack to a thrill seekers ride through the downtown areas of a tropical metropolis – sensuous but edgy, and properly booming on the right kind of car stereo. his riddims are propulsive and a joy to dance to, bringing together the best aspects of both house and dubstep.

this second ep collects 4 more hard to find on vinyl, early shoes re-edits. the killer afro perculator from shoes005 starts things off followed by afta lafta, the dub mix of timmy thomas why cant we live together from shoes004 and nautilus from the out print re-soled.

4 track ep that collects some of the shoes classic, early, out of print releases. this includes the vocal and dub mixes of al greens love & happiness from shoes003, kyen kyen from shoes005 and why cant we live together by timmy thomas from shoes004. essential. dont sleep on this!

the shoes crew is back! after working on the >eccentric breaks< album they get back to what they do best. 4 super smooth dancefloor re-edit tracks based around classic roy ayers songs: >2000 black<, >running away<, >sunshine<, and >superstar<. seriously well done, dont miss this!

the shoes crew with four remixes of miles davis tunes from different eras. >so what< gets a downbeat dub re-rub, the big band horns and drums of >gone< are chopped over heavy breaks, and the classic fusion tracks >in a silent way< and >bitches brew< both get slow burning remixes.

including extended vocal mix by fabrizio maurizi.

japanese based, dry-witted, multi-instrumentalist, max essa, docks his yacht to the good ship bearfunk once more. this time its the title track from his soon-come lp >white shoes blue dreams<. the original morphs things on from his pundit-pleasing beach and summer grooves onto an 80s tilt. the original mix is full of slick grooves and melodic musicality. maxs own >marbella< mix discos things up with a catchy keyboard riff that makes one think of a certain van mccoy, floor-filling stuff. fellow bearfunk sailor, roberto auser, is up for remix duties. his angular dutch grooves strip things back and make things refreshing and cool like he does with just about everything he touches. stay tuned for the second max essa album on bearfunk in the autumn.
