.An underground legend with releases on MJ Cole's personal label, Profile, Reading lad Duncan Powell offers a classic slice of, as Jackmaster (Wireblock/ Numbers) described it, 'James Bond Step'. A big string laden anthem. A goldmine of musical elements, Pushing was ripe for the remix treatment and as Falty DL was a big fan of the original, and as we were a big fan of him, set him to work stripping back the cacophony of melody transforming Pushing into a dark, broken 2-step swinger with flashes of vocals and strings, to awesome effect. Played and supported by the likes of Modeselektor, Peveralist, Diplo, Simbad, Desto, Sinden, Mary Anne Hobbs among others. The guest illustrator on this release is Audrey Rogers, a fine artist/ illustrator with a visual style which quickly resonated with the 2nd Drop guys and fitted nicely with the 12~ format.

Straight out of Bogot Colombia, Frente Cumbiero makes their debut vinyl release with two thumping original Cumbias that are sure to set dance floors on fire.

Pitchito is an uptempo scorcher with a healthy dose of sparkling synth work and rattling percussion, finding its groove somewhere between Lonnie Liston Smith and golden era-Fuentes.

Ananas Tornillo proves again why Frente Cumbiero is on the forefront of the Nueva Cumbia movement in Colombia, pairing an intoxicating keyboard hook with a biting bass line, freshly squeezed and served along the Andean Countryside.

Frente Cumbiero explores the sound and identity that Cumbia represents in Latin America. Having participated in Cumbia related projects since 1999 in Colombia, Mexico, England, France and Holland (from roots to experimental), the collective has collaborated with key players in the burgeoning international movement, building bridges all the way from New York to Buenos Aires. With an ever-expanding interest in its sound, Frente Cumbiero remains a powerful link between Colombian roots music and the Nueva Cumbia generation.

Greenwood Rhythm Coalition is back with a couple of low-slung tropical bubblers aimed straight at your summer barbecues and block parties.

Cumbia Kikuchi crackles with a hypnotic horn line and pawn shop synths, chugging along relentlessly like a Peruvian space cowboy on mellow coca leaves.

Regresar A Cali nods to lowriding funksters in both the Colombian city and its American namesake a bit further up the Pacific coast, playing kinda ruff with a Zapp-esque synbass that tangles with tropical guitar and percussion.

About the ARTISTS:

The flagship operation of the Names You Can Trust label, Greenwood Rhythm Coalition is produced and directed by Brooklyn stalwarts Monk-One and E's E. Having already put out a string of best-selling and critically acclaimed vinyl releases since 2007 (garnering play by the likes of Mr. Scruff, Quantic, Dom Servini and the Jelly Jazz crew to name a few), GRC continues to impress with it's unique hybrid of styles and influences aimed at discerning DJs and dancers alike.

Sky Records reissue : Dieter Moebius is one of the most important figures in avant-garde electronic music in Germany. Alongside his bands Kluster/Cluster and Harmonia, he participated in numerous collaborations (with the likes of Brian Eno). He recorded two albums with the bass player Gerd Beerbohm in 1982 and 1983; "Double Cut" was the second. The music: electronic avant-garde pop in its most rigorous form. Both LPs are important examples of so-called proto-techno

Sky Records reissue : In 1984, two years after their first album collaboration, "Strange Music", Dieter Moebius and Gerd Beerbohm issued their second LP, "Double Cut". It bore the same distinctive hallmarks as its predecessor, but this time around, the two musicians had simplified matters significantly with a masterful concentration on what really counts in pop music - rhythm.

Massive DJ support from Friction, Fabio, Spectrasoul, Andy C, Noisia, Phace, Misanthrop, Alix Perez, D Bridge, Icicle, Commix and more.

DJ support from Loefah, Oneman, Ben UFO, James Blake amongst others'.

ANOTHER KILLER ONE SIDED REGGAE BOOT FROM THE Z CREW ~ DENNIS BROWN GETS THE TREATMENT ON THIS ONE THAT'S NATTIER THAN ONE OF BOB MARLEYS DREADS!!!!!!!!

Okay ladies and gents, here is new signing to the Dark Circles camp, Preston boy, Widelows!

Villa Nah recently had the pleasure to remix the wonderful Brooklyn based trio Au Revoir Simone. The track in question is called 'Tell Me', taken from their third album 'Still Night, Still Light'.

Madlib follows 'Brain Wreck Show' with the seventh installment of the Medicine Show series; a jazz album with Yesterdays New Quintet. While Madlib's prolific recorded output always runs the gamut of styles, he often returns to recurrent themes, spread across the genres that serve as home base (or bases).

SebastiAn started the campaign with his version of 'Sexual Sportswear', yet a classic as many of his works. The highly acclaimed Aeroplane have delivered a dancefloor killer version of 'Kilometer'. Kavinsky has produced the one only remix of his career, Boys Noize a killer eurodance mix. A-Trak did it D-I-S-C-O, Hypnolove took the opportunity to realize a fantasy tribute to Rondo Veneziano (Tellier's favourite remix), Moulinex gave birth to a massive bassline. Other gems from Midnight Juggernauts, Breakbot, Arpanet, Donovan and Danger complete the map. To make it special, Record Makers have commissioned some exclusive remixes by uk dubstep hero Floating Points, Kasper Winding and Lazyflow.

Leave it up to NYC label on the prowl to score some authentic yet modern day latin freestlyle. Hot latina Corinne croons about love and nightlife while her partner Brooklyn producer Josh Anzano does the dirty work. The result is a heart felt dancefloor banger that will sure to be thumping out of car trunks this summer.
For this single we get the original, a dub mix which nods to 80s style tape edits, and of course the mighty Runaway bomb of a remix. Runaway takes the vocals and lays them across a hands in the air chicago-esque drum machine groove spiced with live bass and speaker blaring pads. Very big indeed

The follow up to Greymatter's acclaimed Mind Over Matter LP and accompanying remixes that were released in February this year. This package features mixes from Altered Natives, Mr Lager, Milyoo and Klic

The second of three vinyl (and MP3) releases taken from Ikonika's recent and highly praised 'Contact, Want. Love, Have' album. It's a simple concept; four tracks, edited down by Ikonika for functional DJ purposes, housed in a full colour sleeve. Includes 'Video Delays', 'They Are Still Losing The War', 'Psoriasis', and 'Look (Final Boss Stage)'.

With the success of our last releases getting props and plays from DJs as diverse as Erol Alkan, DJ T, Martyn, Deetron, & Rob Da Bank we are really excited to present our next slice of futuristic funk for your ears and booty from the extremely talented Joe. With his debut, the awesome 'Grimelight', being released on Hessle Audio, Joe is part of a loose group of likeminded and future thinking producers & DJs that includes Hessle Audio's Ramadanman, Ben UFO, & Pangaea, and Untold & James Blake. Whilst they all have very individual sounds, they share a vision of dubstep, uk funky, techno & house influenced beats that seem to defy genre. The A-side 'Untitled' is a huge stepping wad of funk, bringing to mind 2-step, early Skream & Benga, even stripped down grime classics like Pulse X, but with a truly contemporary twist. This tune drops hard, and has been a secret weapon of Appleblim's for some time now - he was pleasantly surprised to see ravers of all ages go mad to it! The flip sees Joe's more experimental leanings come out on 'Digest', but he never forgets the groove and funk. With rolling percussion, steppy sub bass and shiny analogue synth stabs cutting through, it seems to us like a mixture of Mala from Digital Mystikz and Theo Parrish! High praise indeed...
DJ/Radio support coming from Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1), Modeselektor, Peverelist, Rob Da Bank (Radio 1/Bestival), Paul Woolford, Ramadanman, Brackles, Appleblim & many more.

For a long time Skitty has produced beats for other imprints but it's finally time for him to bring his own label to the fold. For the first release he unleashes two jungle vibed tracks. A SIDE: SKITTY - BODY GUARD 'bodyguard' has a haunting ragga style vocal from the off this paired with tearout amens, and killer bass lines that pound relentlessly make this a dancefloor smasher. AA SIDE: SKITTY - BRIX 81 'brix81' has a more old skool jungle feel from the intro, from there a chanting vocal hook comes in to take you to the break down then steel toe capped amens pave the way for heavy low freq bass that will shake the FOUNDATIONS. Support from DJ Vapour, Randell, digital and Outrage to name a few.

a Skitty - Body Guard
b Skitty - Brix 81

Big Bud is back with his first release since his recent LP 'Connections', his last single featured the hugely successful 'White Widow', this single follows on from that vibe, slick guitar licks, rolling bass lines and a distinctly psychedelic and dreamlike atmosphere are present throughout, Big Bud is carving his own sound as always, long may it continue.

Another trippy mastodon of epic prog disco.

These tracks are brilliant!! 'Stand By' is a rollout tune that has a big booming double bass that destroys the dancefloor, while Dr. Dub brings a deeper vibed vocal hooked track that alos has a destroying b-line.

Anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of Illeist Collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. Some say it's big beat, some say it's rock, electro or dance music. And as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as Soulwax, Digitalism or Friendly Fire. And the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

One of the most suitable places to experience the Illeists is surely the sweating stroboscope-atmosphere of an electro party. There the collective fires away with fat bass lines and driving live beats, thus creating the irresistible urge to dance along. The basic setup (bass, drums, synthesizers and vocals) is thereby often featured by special guests; just like on this first Roca Record release. Hence, a perfect match for a remix...

And so CMC&Silenta asked the great MC NineLive The Cat from Brooklyn NY for a vocal track to make a remix of the Illeist Collective song 'every time'. Without hesitation, NineLive The Cat fired some insane lines for what turned out be become an awesome remix. Armed with a perfect hook this track is definitely gonna make the party people go wild.

Funkanomics delivered an awsome remix again, like we probably expected. Straight beats, great keys sections and a bumbing bass line. They did it in their unique Funkanomics style that gets honored around the world. These guy delivered a huge party classic.

In addition, D*Funk smashed another perfectly produced remix of the original with everything a real remix needs - killer beats and tension one can't resist. And as always, the only thing that can actually make you see what we are talking about is the track itself. So check it out now!

It's old school versus new school, past meets present, where ying breaks yang...its big beats, big soul, big funk, and some badass hip-hop... and we all know that can only make a big bloody tune!

'Count Wakula' is a big ragga funk beast. Relentless in its channelling of slap-bass, happening raps, obscure French bits, funky organs and really fat freakin' beats. This tune will rock your world ...and if it doesn't - you are dead already buddy!

After an excursion into the jazzier side of things on recent releases, Tramp Records is proud to announce another funky soul jewel from the mid 1970s.

Clay Brown, originally from a small town near Barnwell, SC (the birthplace of James Brown) recorded a couple of 45 rpm singles which were released on the Florentine label in the mid to late 1970s. "Walk With A Groove" has some of that funk thing going while "Everybody's Talking" is a bit more on the soulful side. Whatever, both songs are highly prized in European Northern circles fetching over $1000 each for original mint 45's.

From now on, all 45 rpm single releases on Tramp Records are limited to 250 hand-numbered copies.
