Multi Culti's astrological archive expands into vinyl-phase #2 with deep lunar trips and solar worship from Nicola Cruz, Moscoman, Zongamin, Manfredas, Umoja and Crowdpleaser feat Mah'Mood.

Fly with us, friends - we have places to go, faces to see, sounds to collect and feelings to make.

One of the key emerging artists out of South America in recent years, NICOLA CRUZ is fresh off his debut album on ZZK and primed to take off with his folklorically dope live set. 'Pagano'might be his most dance-floor friendly track to date, sounding like it came straight out of Compass Point studios carrying the smell of good ganja.

Next up is Disco Halal's MOSCOMAN, kicking it in a latino style for a change, flexing his skills into different lingual terrain, masterfully mixing things up in his inimitably unconventional style.

ZONGAMIN is back - The madly talented Japanese cowboy-funk maestro throws down a six string shoot-em-up serenade for talented lovers in cults of the future, everywhere.
MANFREDAS - Our favourite wildman-Lithuanian lights a lethal stick of incense on Glasswalk, a musical memoir of riding a crack pipe out of an opium den in the slums of Mumbai. True story.
UMOJA's Umboweti is a cheerful jungle jaunt, sounding like Francis Bebey stripped and mixed for the club. Guaranteed smiles and vibe elevation.
The trip concludes with Swiss journeyman CROWDPLEASER teaming up with Egyptian homie Mah'mood for a majikal rendition of pre-Islamic poem Yasmin, featuring hauntingly beautiful vocals from Tunisian wedding singer Habib.

It was mid march and Italy was about to face what turned out to be a 4 months long pandemic lockdown. I remember I was in Uk that weekend when our government started to shut down the country progeressively and my area was among the first ones regulated by a strict nobody-in nobody-out rule. Short after China, Italy has been the first country to get involved in this massive international pandemic control effort, followed by Spain, Uk and Usa. At that time the information filtering out was uncertain, uncomplete to say the least. I really didn’t know whether I would have been allowed to come back home. Eventually I made it to return to Carpi, but I will never ever forget the atmosphere of doomsday I could breath and see everywhere I turned my head to. How is it possible that something you can’t see and you can’t touch could create such a panic spread is still beyond me. Things are better today, and we know a lot more about this virus, yet there are many things which are unclear to my eyes and ears. What was immediately crystal clear back then though is that we needed to take it seriously, and at the same time find a way to survive the immobility, the despair and the sadness the prolongued isolation was starting to create in us. Almost overnight we just stopped to see our families, our loves and our friends so the only thing we could do was to focus on how to get on with the job. Keep Flying is the result of all the above and involves artists and friends who kept in touch with eachothers doing things and streaming love through the finalization of projects in remote. Written and produced in between Chicago and Modena by myself and hip hop singer Biggz Lemons, remixed in Hull by Fila Brazilia’s hitmaker Maestro Steve Cobby, concept design by
Andrea Vazquez Carneiro in Santiago De Compostela through her Escai new outfit and graphically engineered by Fabio Conti and his Discographica in Milan, this project gave us some means of survival and represents the true international spirit and culture of our labels. If you like it, please preorder it on our website to support those of us who are still struggling, especially Lay in Chi Town, who is not yet allowed to work as things in US ain’t looking good on so many levels. A few more projects finalised during these tough times will follow.

ILLEGAL JAZZ is the edit series by Berlin’s DELFONIC & KAPOTE. Focused on reworks of rare soul jazz and jazz funk-disco tunes from the 1970ies. Reworked for todays ecclectic dancefloors. The first volumes of this series have been sold out very fast and repressed up to 3 times. A sign that the demand for jazzy music on international dancefloors is growing. So now its time for the next issue.
In case you dont know DELFONIC & KAPOTE: KAPOTE is the creative mind behind TOY TONICS & KRYPTOX Records. The 2 Berlin labels dediciated to future disco & house and the new German Jazz scene (Kryptox). Delfonic is now working as A&R / Labelmanager for wordandsound / WPP and is in charge for many jazzy & soulful Labels. He is probably one of the best informend persons in the Berlin club scene and definitely an expert in all things related to soulful music.

Kid Simius ist zurück mit frischen neuen Tunes, voller tanzbarer Jams, die Wärme und herrliche Sommervibes versprühen. Opener ist der erfrischende Titeltrack Chicken Mango mit seiner rollenden Disco-Bassline und einem hypnotischen Rhythmus. Der Tune zieht einen von Anfang an in seinen Bann und hält einen bis zum Ende fest. Er ist hell und fröhlich mit einer fesselnden Disco-Energie. // Sommer-Vibes. Disco House.

Was machen viele, insbesondere junge Menschen, um in ihrer Freizeit dem Alltag zu entfliehen Tanzen! Ganz besonders gut funktioniert das Vergnügen mit Disco-Musik - kein Wunder, dass das Genre seit vier Jahrzehnten ein Revival nach dem anderen erlebt. Mit der Zusammenstellung "Disco Stars" wirft das französische Label Wagram noch einmal einen Blick zurück auf die wilden Anfangstage in den Siebzigern, als das Ganze noch ein neuer Trend war, der von New York, Philadelphia und Miami zum glitzernden Siegeszug um die Welt ansetzte und Nachtclubs wie das Studio 54 oder The Loft stilbildenden Charakter hatten. Die Kompilation "Disco Stars" enthält unter anderem die Stücke "I Will Survive" (Gloria Gaynor), "Born To Be Alive" (Patrick Hernandez), "Car Wash" (Rose Royce), "Ring My Bell"(Anita Ward) und "Change" (Barry White) - und damit die größten Disco-Hymnen aller Zeiten. Hinzu kommen Songs von beispielsweise The Jackson 5, Imagination, Jennifer und Ottawan

Jon Savage's eclectic voyage through Post-Punk era electronic music, Disco & proto-techno 1978-1982
Very special limited edition double 12" vinyl package with colour inner-sleeves + digital down-load code (WAV/FLAC/MP3)
Inners and extensive liner-notes by Jon Savage/Original artwork by celebrated UK artist & illustrator Matt Sewell. Features previously unpublished photos, artwork and memorabilia from the era.
Includes Tracks By : Suicide/Sea Of Wires/Sylvia Love/Cabaret Voltaire/Transvolta/A Num-ber Of Names/Slick & More..
Following on from 2012’s acclaimed “Fame” Post-Punk & 2015's "Perfect Motion" Psychedel-ic-Baggy 1988-93 compilations on CTR, Jon Savage decided to focus upon Electronic music from the Post-Punk era 1978-82. He suggests in his liner-notes for the album:
“Disco was a grid you could pour anything into. Its robotic imperatives thread their way through this collection” & Jon describing the album as:
“Spanning Euro Disco to very early Electro and the classic period of High Energy, taking in mainstream Disco, the strange, minimal and avant garde on the way, these fifteen tracks celebrate the fertility and the futurism of synthesiser electronics in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s”
This compilation is selected and curated by renowned cultural commentator, writer and film-maker Jon Savage. Amongst many highly revered projects Jon has produced the definitive work on Punk Rock in “England's Dreaming” and the documentary & book “Teenage” The Creation of Youth, 1875 - 1945. He is also the biographer of Joy Division & author of the top 10 Sunday Times best seller "This Searing Light, The Sun & Everything Else" The Oral History Of Joy Division in 2019.

Multi Culti is honoured to reissue this 1996 classic by Ghanian highlife legend Gyedu Blay Ambolley, adding amazing remixes by Red Axes and Johnny Aux, as well as an in-house edit by Dreems & Thomas Von Party.

A major force in Afro-funk since the early 1970s, Gyedu Blay Ambolley is considered the godfather of hiplife, transforming the highlife genre by adding elements of hip-hop, funk and jazz. The opportunity to reissue the amazing and influential "Simi Rapp" is one of the clear high points of the label's trajectory thus far.

The reissue package is bolstered by an ecstatic rework by Israeli gurus Red Axes, an early-morning anthem from master remixer Johnny Aux, and a laid-back house edit from Multi Culti Executive Shamans Dreems and Thomas Von Party.

Multi Culti: voyaging through time, space and licensing agreements to bring you the best music the world has to offer.

Hell Yeah call upon their merry crew of grown up groove makers to revisit key tracks from Quiroga's widely acclaimed Passages album, with Whodamanny, Jazz N Palms, A Vision of Panorama and My Friend Dario all stepping up.

The original album was noted as Piccadilly Records' Best Balearic Album of 2019 and a year on is still providing solace for us in these strange times. First to add his own spin to it is Periodica associate Whodamanny from Naples, whose magical take on 'Martinica Feelings' made it onto the excellent recent Buena Onda compilation, which is out now. It is a big hearted vocal reinterpretation filled with stomping kicks and twisted synths that bring the funk next to withering sci-fi effects and happy piano chords.

Then, up steps man of the moment Jazz N Palms, a resident at the cult Ibiza venue Pikes and regular at London's Ronnie Scotts. He has recently started his own self titled label and here offers a mad Latin jazz take on 'Africa Addio' that brims with energy and sunshines. The busy percussion will make you move your ass and the whole thing has a sexy 70s vibe.

Saint Petersbourg's very own balearic legend A Vision of Panorama is hailed as the king of the modern balearic sound thanks to EPs on labels like Omena. He takes care of 'The Zoist' with sentimental melodies and sunset grooves to die for. His arching pads speak to the soul and melt the heart.

Last of all, Hell Yeah's very own discovery My Friend Dario (who soon has an EP coming on NuNorthern Soul, recently remixed Calm and Gallo) tackles 'Chiaia Sunset'. The result is a laidback and cathartic track that slowly unfolds on tumbling drums and wooden hits as synths leave vapour trails high up in the clear blue sky above.

These are four more high class remixes that will keep the summer vibes alive long into Autumn.

The Sunburst Band & Sunlightsquare have got together for a one off special titled ‘Perdoname’. A full live band sound featuring vocals from Rene Alvarez and Susana Ysabel along with a whole host of top players.

Dave Lee provides a tight slice of jazz-funk on his ‘Latin Escapade’ version whilst Sunlightsquare offers a warm and hazy club mix perfect for the beach side. Completing the package those soaring vocals are laid out as an acapella providing the perfect tool for any set.

Part 2 of Editors Kutz 005 pressed on Purple Vinyl feat cuts from JKriv / Noodleman / Riccio & EmVee who round things off nicely.
With edits and reworks on little known or impossible to find originals, and some beloved classics, this release covers various disco styles, keeping the right balance between the up-tempo and low tempo vibes. Limited Repress act fast.

Precious gems mined from a wall of vinyl. Cut, polished and mounted for maximum love.

The only question we should be asking about Ron Basejam and Red Rack’em getting in a studio together is ‘why did it take them so long?’ The Crazy P multi-instrumentalist brings a melodic sheen and strict work ethic to Berman's idiosyncratic, off kilter sample chops. We’re very excited to be bringing the first in a series of killer twelves from two artists who bring a huge amount of passion, soul and singularity to their music.

The infamous Crazy P studio in Nottingham, the scene of many a lost braincell for the pair became a different kind of playground with an arsenal of synths and the Basejam sample library proving fruitful. Several mammoth studio sessions were fitted in pre-lockown with both taking turns to lead when the other flagged. You can hear the grit in these tracks. Studio chiz, red wine and Alfreton Road kebabs fuelled these sessions. Buckle up for the Red Baron ride.

'Fascinate' is a foot stomping house banger hoedown which distils their collective years of sample voyaging into a taut yet jumpy floor wrecker. Uptight, urgent popped guitar licks and a face squinting bassline are mixed upfront with the track devolving at every chance with many a detour including the most warm uplifting middle eighth. A monster arpeggiated synth bass closes proceedings with a dark, knowing edge to the distant hardcore pads fading in.

'She Makes It Work' fuses stoner hippy tabla with a deviant tinged vocal benignly muttering missives while the second pill begins to kick in. Uplifting mangled chords meld with an ever building mood towards a deliriously melting peak moment. As with the A side, the track ends in a questioning manner taking the listener to another plane. This is a cosmic spiritual loft party 7am burner. A late '70s community group going off piste at a Wednesday night drumming circle by serving up the wrong punch.

More heat from the legendary EDIT & DUB! Featuring lost mixes of dancefloor classics "MOVIN ON" and "EXPRESS" performed by GINO DENTIE & THE FAMILY! The B side goes into another world with a rare euro disco cuts such as "VOODOO MAN" by BIDDU ORCHESTRA & "I'M GONNA DANCE" by SUNA YILDIZOGLU

The King & City label is the subject of three 12" reissues, starting with One Blood's classic Lovers Rock take of William DeVaughn's soul anthem, Be Thankful.

Taking the influence of reggae from the Caribbean diaspora within the cultural melting pot of 70s London, the birth of Lovers Rock, often-dubbed 'romantic reggae', is a uniquely black British sound, developed against a backdrop of riots, racial tension and sound systems.

A style suited to the London scene, it represents an apolitical counterpoint to the then dominant conscious Rastafarian sound and continued the soulful and commonly love-themed rocksteady style.

Active during the scene's peak, King & City was launched by Neville King and Lee Laing to champion the sound and alongside other producers like Dennis Bovell, created genre-defining hits.

Formed in 1979 One Blood was made up of the 5 Robinson brothers - Errol, Jerry, Lloyd, Trevor and Paul - and recording at the legendary TMC studios, went on to release two albums and countless singles.

Be Thankful pays homage to DeVaughn's original, with smooth vocals gliding atop tight drum and bass, vocal jumping up dub pom acapella to summer perfection. The tapes here passed to cohort Lexx, crafting a wonderful discodub that is all groove, expertly cutting back and forth...diamonds in the back, sunroof top.

One of the most important labels in the history of dance music, Easy Street reflected New York club-land through its most

exciting years. From the Garage to The Sound Factory the clubs of the Big Apple echoed to the anthems released on Easy Street and then onto the world.

This compilation gathers up 12 of the most vital and important tracks. From 1984s Go Deh Yaka by Monyaka, through Da Lacy's house anthem 'Hideaway' via Adeva's anthemic 'In & Out My Life' all the bases are covered, whilst seminal producers Blaze, Paul Simpson and Todd Terry are amongst those who were behind the desks on these recordings.

The release is a loud cut double LP, that comes housed in a stunning sleeve and printed inner sleeves that highlight the label's
distinctive label art.

D'Arabia's first outing on House of Disco is a sax heavy affair with 3 remixes from some of the best in the bizz.
