RECORD KICKS CHRISTMAS SALE !!! Up to 50% 0ff !!!

Visit RecordKicks now !

Italy’s finest purveyors of Jazz, Funk and Soul are having a Christmas Sale, with up to 50% off !!!

So whether you’ve done your Christmas shopping yet or not, get over to Record Kicks.

Here’s a flavour of some recent releases…

The Baker Brothers: ” Time to Testify  ” LP

Yet another cracking release from this long running and well respected funk band,  and this album is choc full of goodies…

…From the steppin’ instrumental funk of  “Genki Strut”, accompanied with sounds of the city, to the laidback Soul of “Heads South”, reminiscent of Steely Dan.

 ”Pieces of the puzzle” goes further left, with flickers of Chilly Peppers or even Another Ratio. Don’t get me wrong this is not commercial, this is moody, minor-key-funk, with a fusion feel.

And saving the best til last, “Once I had a friend” - an instant classic ! Also available as a single b/w the instrument.

The Strides: ” Reclamation ” LP

Credible genre-crossing album, inlcuding Dub, Reggae, Afrobeat and some MC action courtesy of LTL Gzeus.

Being a Soul and Funk boy at heart my fave ones off this ablum are…

“Well Hung Parliament” – uptempo Afrobeat. A nice builder too,  it gets progressively jazzy, then back to the funk.  Wicked track.

And “Umbi Gumbi” – a steady Afro-funk number.  This track is atmospheric but still tough. …and @ around the 103bpm mark it would go nicely in the mix with the above mentioned “Genki Strut”.

Sales end Dec 15th >>

NEW RELEASE :: “Lesson 1″ by L’Equipe du Son

“Lesson 1″ is a lovely and quirky disco track from L’Equipe du Son … you can’t help but smile when you here this.

My 2 fave tracks of the E.P…

“Legendary 1979 Orchestra remix” – What a mellow but infectious groove… there’s a sprinkling of Italo here but L1O had put a rare groovey sort of slant on it. I’ve had this just on repeat  :)

“Rayko remix” – the prolific Rayko does it again. He takes the same groove L1O took but waved his Boogie wand over it. This is a tougher remix… more dancefloor oriented. I dig it.

Out now…

Grab em @ Juno init :)

NEW RELEASE :: Bullet Proof Soul Edits

Not satisfied with producing quality Deep House BPS brings us an E.P. of quality soul reworks courtesy of the Blunted Funk Project. So here’s a little preview…

My 2 faves…

“Lets Go All The Way” – Definitely Southport Connoisseurs’ Corner territory. Respectfully treated.

“Get Next 2 Me” – Same story again… proper Soul tune given just the right amount of retouching, percussion, effects and re-arrangement.  It’s nice to see they’ve not gone down the route of just adding a massive BD.  I can hear these tunes equally on a boat party in the Adriatic, the Big Chill bar, or at a weekender like SP/Minehead.

There are also a couple of nice jazz funk numbers on there, with “Changin forever” and “I Like it” … well worth getting hold of.

Out now on Bullet Proof Sonic Records…

Grab em @ Juno init :)

NEW RELEASE :: Groove Democracy 2

As a significant pre-cursor to House, Disco lends itself nicely to being remixed.  Successfully “Housing” a Funk tune however is a tricky business. All too often sounding cheesy, inappropriate, or worse still, like a big beat tune.

This is how it should be done.

How to remix a funk tune 101 : Your teacher – Avanti

Brass Construction “Changin” (Avanti Rework)

Also check out the rest of the album, “Groove Democracy 2″, from Madrid’s Nelue’s. Choc full of grooves, edits and remixes this is definitely a Jazzier helping than most of the disco currently on the market. Features Nelue, Avanti, Moon Runner, Space Duke, Dynamicron, the mighty Rayko and ofcourse Avanti. Get yourself over to Juno to grab a copy init :)

NEW RELEASE :: “Odyssey – Return Flight Remixes”

Some cracking Odyssey remixes forthcoming on ISM records this Christmas, and here’s a little taster…

Faze Action have done a lovely job on Soul weekender anthem “Going Back to My Roots” .  With a late 80′s early 90′s house feel to this remix… and as the keys build and layer it really works into ya bones.

The money shot comes at 5 of 7 minutes when the keys change giving you that recognisable piano line from the original.
A really deep and tasteful track with just right amount of the original in it ..init :)

But my definite fave is the Disco Dirtbox remix of  “Don’t Tell Me Tell Her”  …One of those tunes, if I didn’t know  better, I’d struggle to put a year on it. The 80′s flavour in the new instrumentation sounds authentic but it’s tough enough to sound brand new.  Defo gonna get lots of play !

Released on :

ISM Records on 12th Dec.

Repost from APC Radio website:

“PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL RECORDS is forty years old! HARMLESS RECORDS are kick starting the celebrations with the release of a two CD, 21 track re-mix project – ‘Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits’. The label has brought in top international remixers and producers to tweak some venerated Philly war horses and thankfully people like DJ APT ONE, JIMMY THE TWIN, J*SKI, and the MORNING STAR team have approached the matter with total respect for the originals.

The first CD in the pack is labelled ‘Uptempo Good Time Philly ‘ and features classics like ‘SATISFACTION GUARANTEED’, ‘MESSAGE IN OUR MUSIC’ and ‘LIFE ON MARS’ while the second CD is tagged ‘Mellow Slinky Philly’. Here you’ll find the new takes on stuff like ‘WAS THAT ALL IT WAS’, ‘NIGHTS OVER EGYPT’ and ‘DARLIN’ DARLIN’ BABY’.

The compilation will be followed by a comprehensive ‘Philadelphia International 40th Anniversary Box Set’ …. and there’s lots more in the 2012 pipeline. You can see an outline of the 40th anniversary activities and releases by going to www.gamble-huffmusic.com.”
