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 :)

THE BEDMO DISCO SELECTION BOX TRACK BY TRACK

Bedmo Disco – Money Crazy [Bedmo Disco Extension]

The first sugarcoated morsel from the ‘Selection Box’ is one of Bedmo Disco’s most requested edits. Originally available for a limited time on Soundcloud, ‘Money Crazy’ extends and reworks Intrigue’s ‘I Like It’ – a previously obscure British boogie tune that still changes hands for large sums of money. The version here has been re-mastered and is presented for the first time on a Bedmo Disco Records release. More Bedmo Disco boogie and electrofunk reworks are available on our new EP, ‘It’s A Synth’

FLX ONE – No Corner Love

Here at Bedmo Disco HQ, we’re particularly excited about our new signings Underwater Orchestra. Their debut EP, featuring a selection of white hot modern boogie, electrofunk and modern funk gems is going to drop on Bedmo Disco Records in 2011. As a special treat, the Underwater Orchestra’s FLX ONE – one of Bristol’s biggest boogie diggers and an acclaimed artist in his own right – has provided two high quality edits for ‘The Bedmo Selection Box’. The first, ‘No Corner Love’, is a simmering, horn-drenched boogie beauty.

Rocco Raimundo – Rocco’s Ramjet

Included here with the kind permission of Gazebo, ‘Rocco’s Ramjet’ was originally included on mysterious Australian Rocco Raimundo’s ‘Jack Shack’ EP. Here at Bedmo Disco HQ we’ve been huge fans of the suave Aussie scalpel-jockey’s work so far, and are delighted to be working with him on a brand new EP for Bedmo Disco Records. That should see the light of day in 2011, after his second EP for Gazebo. Until then, get yourself a copy of Jack Shack from Junodownload. For more on Rocco Raimundo, point your brower at Pollo Erotico or his Soundcloud profile.

Jimmy The Twin – Twilight [Jimmy The Twin’s 505 Rework]

Soundcloud sensation Jimmy The Twin has enjoyed an excellent 2010, seeing his disco, boogie and electrofunk edits become ‘must download’ items amongst the disco fraternity. We’re delighted to be working with Jimmy on his first commercial release, which is due for release on Bedmo Disco Records in 2011. As a taster of what to expect, Jimmy has given us a brand new edit – a raw, Roland 505-heavy heavy rework of Maze’s proto-house classic ‘Twilight’. Jimmy has plenty more edits available on Soundcloud – check his page out. Jimmy also runs the excellent Boogie Café blog

Cosmic Boogie – Let’s Jam

Liverpool disco don Cosmic Boogie provided us with our very first release earlier this year, the brilliant ‘Disco Grinch EP’. ‘Let’s Jam’ comes from that EP. Previously only available as an ‘album only’ bonus track, it’s a deliciously percussive chunk of P-funk goodness that never fails to work a dancefloor. There’s plenty more goodness on the ‘Disco Grinch EP’, which is still available from Juno Download. Cosmic Boogie is a busy boy right now, with a hectic remix and release schedule, as you can see from his website.

Bedmo Disco – Kongas

A taste of things to come from Bedmo Disco, ‘Kongas’ is a short, sharp chunk of glorious disco-funk. Exclusive to ‘The Bedmo Disco Selection Box’, this previously unreleased edit has been a staple of our sets for some time. A brand new Bedmo Disco edit EP, including some heavyweight disco funk and hands-in-the-air disco, will be released in Spring 2010.

FLX ONE – Inch Perfect

A second shit-hot edit from Underwater Orchestra man FLX ONE. This one takes a familiar underground boogie/electrofunk staple and gives it an 80s scalpel style rework. A seriously heavyweight jam! Incidentally, if you’re in Bristol, look out for FLX ONE’s regular boogie, electrofunk and space funk night, ‘High Hopes’. It takes place monthly at The Bank Of Stokes Croft. Well worth checking!

Bedmo Disco – Hammered

No festive release would be complete without a gloriously upbeat chunk of party fun. Hence ‘Hammered’, Bedmo Disco’s own party-smashing extension of Peter Gabriel’s majestic 80s powerpop stomper ‘Sledgehammer’. Exclusive to this EP, ‘Hammered’ has had music heads in a lather since a preview slipped out on Soundcloud last week. A 94BPM banger!

Bedmo Disco – Pardon My Bedmo [bonus minimix]

We round off ‘The Bedmo Disco Selection Box’ with an action-packed, iPod-friendly, 26-minute ‘mini-mix’. This was originally put together for the excellent Pardon My French blog and radio show. It features all sorts of unreleased nuggets, including a slew of unreleased Bedmo Disco edits and forthcoming gems. Full tracklist as follows:

Bedmo Disco – Pardon My Intro [exclusive]

DEEP DISCO EDIT :: First Choice “Doctor Love” (JimmyTheTwin 2003 Edit) – Quantized version

 

Here’s an edit I did back in 2003 and the original cut did the rounds on plunder for a while. My first cut was nice to mix in (due to the loops) but not so nice to mix out (as the untouched ending wavered somewhat).

So I thought I’d give it some fresh air and Quanitze the little badger.

Anyway, several hours and a repetitive strain injury later… here’s the quantized version for nicer mixing.

Hope you likey :)

If you like the tunes check out their new podcast,  http://hotbutteredsoul45.podomatic.com , or look out for them around the south west. You can catch them playing Northern, Modern, Cross over and Rare Soul @ venues like The Park bar (1st Sat of the month) and Start The Bus, and @ rare soul jaunts like ‘Get Together’.

=====================================

A couple of highlights for me are…

The Northern stepper “Love Bounce” by Johnny Cool & The Counts

…and the killer Soul track “For Real” by Flowers
