Betino's Records proudly presents its third release: an EP by the very sharp collective The Big Hustle. The band founded in 2014 by bass player and composer Sébastien Levanneur, brings
together 70's old school funk with the hippest actual sound with influences spanning from Steely Dan to Snarky Puppy, from Mandrill to Lettuce and from Herbie Hancock (Manchild era) to Soulive.
With mighty horn players, a rock and funky rhythm section, and percussions added to it, The Big Hustle's music has a very large variety of sound landscapes. Still, the music never loses the groove and always stays close to the funk.
The A side opens with "Afrorever", a tribute to African culture and music. The guest of honor on this song is legendary Malian musician Cheick Tidiane Seck, longtime partner of Salif Keita, and collaborator of Joe Zawinul, Carlos Santana and Damon Albarn to name a few. After Cheick's introduction, the songs jumps into a typical afrobeat vibe featuring a tight and powerful horn section, suddenly breaks into an electro funk groove and ends in a furious percussive party.
Second track on the A side is "Faure is the Magic Number". It is dedicated to Thomas Faure (co-composer of the track) and François Faure (both featured on this song on tenor sax and keyboards respectively). This piece displays the band's ability to blend jazz-funk groove with a heavy hip-hop beat. Kind of DJ Premier meets Steely Dan.
The B side starts with "Afrorever (Sun's Up Mix)". Through this mix, one can acknowledge instantly Olivier Portal's touch. From the very first chords, he conveys us into his realm blending warm and melancholy keyboards with an old school deep-house rhythm pattern.
The fourth track is called 1, 2, 1, 2'. It is a purely improvised moment in the studio while the band was sound checking before recording with special guest rapper Raashan Ahmad. Nicolas Gueguen had the good idea to press the R button and what you hear is basically what happened afterwards.
A 12inch single from the incredible French Afro Funk band including remixes by the one and only Osunlade under the collective name of Yoruba Soul!
Since their first acclaimed album Apiafo and its irresistible single Pas contente', these Lyon (France) natives never turned down the heat over 160 stages across Europe, Africa, Canada, Japan... Peter Solo has displayed his amulets, voodoo chants and charisma around the globe. When it came time for them to harness their Afro Soul sound for the second time, they turned their attention once again to their analog strengths. On the road
Peter Solo and Osunlade met and could share their musical visions. It was obvious that this two will share their spiritual music experiences.
Kidayu is the name of the second opus which means sharing': it's exactly what those versions of On se pousse' are about: a true futuristic Hi-life, a great meeting of two ardent defenders of the Afro Soul sounds ! Limited press, mastered by Carvery.

Louis and George Johnson formed The Brothers Johnson under the auspices of Quincy Jones in 1975, releasing this second album in 1977. With Quincy at the helm as producer, the duo quickly broke wide open with its debut album.
The Brothers Johnson's second album Right on Time consists of some of the best proto-typical funk-soul grooves from the late 70s. The album is again produced by Quincy Jones and his contributions ensure the high quality of the instrumental arrangements and general glossiness of the audio production as in their debut album. Several of the tracks are as good as anything Michael Jackson or Earth Wind and Fire would've produced around this time, particularly Runnin' For Your Lovin'', Strawberry Letter 23' and Never Leave You Lonely'. There are also two fantastic instrumentals, Q' and Brother Man' that are both irrepressibly funky, with Louis Johnson's tight bass providing the solid rhythmic
foundation he is famous for. Fusion fans will be familiar with several of the backing musicians: Harvey Mason, Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour to name a few.
The single Strawberry Letter 23' gained a #5 spot in the US billboard charts and #1 on the US R&B billboard. The album received platinum.

Landing on Partial, from the man Jah Scoop is `Insurrection' - a moody and militant organ-tinged melodic instrumental piece, which refreshingly features nothing but 'real instruments'. So, think late 1970's style with perhaps an unintentional nod towards Jackie Mittoo's `Ayatolla'
*Despite the brooding pace and nature of `Insurrection', it drops heavy on sound system, especially the echo-laden dub version on the b-side.
*So, Jah Scoop Who dat Jah Scoop is in fact Guy McAffer aka Geezer, the legendary techno producer and artist Geezer of RAW and Stay Up Forever fame. He's also the keyboard player for festival-favourites Back to the Planet and guitarist with punk outfit Dogshite. That's who.

Vocalist and mult- instrumentalist family theBroomfield's might be new to you but Deepfunk heads know the deal. The six Broomfield siblings (vocalist, Diane and her 5 brothers) released some of the best Rare groove 12s and 45s in the 1980s (Although this 45 was recorded in 1979) as well as recording with Betty Wright, KC and the Sunshine Band, Timmy Thomas, Little Beaver, Julio Iglesias, Michael Sterling and many, many more.
Championed by Keb Darge and others on the Deepfunk scene in the early 2000s, this record has remained agonisingly elusive, despite being very popular as both sides are brilliant. So, with the help of Symphonical records we got in touch with Aaron and made this happen, look out for Aaron's 45 dropping soon as well.
Aaron Broomfield a.k.a. "Assami" -Vocals, bass, drums, and keys
Ben Broomfield - Guitar
Ron a.k.a. "Eugene" Broomfield - Vocals, keyboards
Al Broomfield - Vocals, keyboards

Our hero, Jo Tongo (born Joseph Ekambi Tongo Mpondo) was born and raised in Douala Cameroon. In 1964 he headed off to Paris to begin Pharmaceutical studies. Somewhere along the way the music in his soul eventually won out and he embarked on a life of music. In the latest of our series of "Funk Experimentals" LPs we dig for the funk. Not necessarily the artists greatest hits but most definitely the funkiest ear benders. We proudly compile together tracks from 1968 to 3 new brand new exclusive tracks from present day 2017. And yes, they all have the funk. In spades.
The album opens up with stunningly catchy Jangolo. Jo's awesomely funky bass and percussive "jangly" guitar. The track is underpinned by African drums, funky stabs and 70s nascent synthesiser string machines. Next up we take a trip to 1979 and "Funky Feeling" from Jo's "Those Flowers" album. Here the beats are big, the strings are sweet and the clavi is into overdrive. We then jump back to 1976 for the evergreen, horn-puncher, funk stomper "Piani". Before the sweet smooth funk of "Those Flowers".
Next up is "American Lady" with the bright strings, jangly guitars and driving keys. All locked on to maximize the groove. We then take a trip back to 1968 for Jo's second single the ever so funky and ever so ahead of its time, "Dig It Babe". Soul, horns, groove and punch all in two perfect packages. Part 1 and Part 2. Next up it is the funk boogie afro swingers "Ewande".
Bringing things up date we jump forward to 2017, present day. Jo has been making music more or less non-stop and here we are lucky to premier three brand new tracks. The drums are punchy, the guitars ooze the funk and the locked on keys tie the tracks together in one tight-as package. Jo is on the production and at the controls for the mix. "Lion Roar" is first with its driving clavinet and all-out-assault funky drums. The brass is big and this song is Bold with a capital "B". "It's The D Day" is next with swinging soul style groove before "Mystic Power" features a ballsy brass-laden beat and jazz funk overtones.
Many thanks Jo for choosing the music. Nearly 50 years at the top of the game.

Limited edition (only 260 copies) of 180g vinyl LP.
It's been a little bit over 3 years since Night Marks last dropped their first mini album, but thankfully that hiatus finally comes to an end here today. Now after much anticipation, we present the first full-length album from Night Marks entitled Experience. Behind Night Marks (previously called 'Night Marks Electric Trio') stand two exceptional musicians - Marek Pedziwiatr and Piotrek Skorupski (also known for 'Spisek Jednego'). Though having a common hometown (Wroclaw), these two were joined together by their mutual love of jazz, soul, hip-hop, and as if that wasn't enough, they're both electronic virtuosos. Out of this melting pot of commonalities came Night Marks' unique sound, tasteful samples, bass and keyboard wizardry and remarkable lyrics.
After the release of their debut EP, they became stand-outs in the music community, landing them numerous collaborations. Night Marks worked and produced several artists including Paulina Przybysz, Polish rappers like Ten Typ Mes, Rasmentalism, JWP, Wozz, Malaysian band Bass Sekolah, and world famous singer Bilal.
Their talents landed them an opportunity to tour places they haven't visited before. This mind-opening tour through Portugal, England, Russia, Kazakhstan and Korea, influenced a large part of what you hear on the album Experience. With good reason, the intro of the album is in Korean, and the song "Break the Silence" even features the artist Lim from the Korean group Solati. A great experience while on tour in Seoul ignited a creative fire in Night Marks, which in turn fueled this new album.
Laced with 8 records in total, the follow up to 2014's EP features guest appearances from Anthony Mills (Wild Cookie), SOLATI and Natalia & Paulina Przybysz (Archeo). Led by the singles "Matter Of Time" and "Danger" both of which can now be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, BandCamp, and you don't want miss it out.
Piotr and Marek are also the authors of famous Jazz Project - EABS ("Repetitions (Letters To Krzysztof Komeda)" LP - Astigmatic Records 2017)

After so many successful compilation series' on Tramp like the critically-acclaimed Movements, Feeling Nice, and Praise Poems comps, the people behind the label decided that the jewel of golden-era funk, soul, jazz, r&b and groove was so brilliant and multifaceted, it was necessary to found a new one. Those of you who collect our vinyl compilations may have realized that each respective side of each double LP focuses on a certain genre. Countdown to...Soul is no exception, four sides focus on four different facets of the golden era of Soul music.
Jackie Johnson's opener gives you a taste of what you can expect on Side A: raw funky-soul from the late '60 with a gospel feel (The Chances), midtempo, finger-snapping Soul (Hank Hodge and Holly Carroll) and in between an obviously James Brown influenced cut by 15-year old lead singer Archie Brooks (The Fugitives) who emulates the Godfather's cadence smartly.
Side B is all about soul-jazz instrumentals for fans of Ramsey Lewis and Jimmy Smith. Don Patterson is probably the biggest name, followed by Ulysses Crockett. Spider Martin and the John Lewis Sound are lesser known, but this our mission at Tramp is to shed a deserved spotlight on their funky talent.
Side C jumps right into the mid '70s and its slick dancefloor-funk sound. Reuben Bell is probably the best known artist on this album. The other two cuts are no new discoveries for the seasoned funk 45 collector, however regular music buyers are likely to be hearing their names and tunes for the first time.
Admittedly, Side D might be an acquired taste. However, Tramps intention is (and always has been) to seek for the unknown and to present songs which are hard to categorize. "Tell It Like It Is", "The Steel Man" and "I Helped You Go" could be filed under 'country-funk' if such a genre existed. And what song could complete this album better than John Brown's beautiful "The Sound Of The Wind"
So there you have it, more than a dozen obscure but brilliant Rare Grooves where the majority of the songs have not been compiled anywhere else. This could be the beginning of another successful series. It's up to you.

A few years ago, Melodies family members Floating Points and DJ Red Greg got their hands on a couple of original 70s obscurities. While these standout records shone brightly in their own right, the two DJs saw the potential to create their own edits behind the scenes, finely attuning the original versions to modern-day dancefloor standards. Of these new recordings, they cut only five copies for themselves and a few DJ friends of theirs. Today, Melodies International is very proud to bring you MEL006 and MEL007. Fully licensed, lovingly mastered to the highest possible standards and carefully edited to dial up that dancefloor enjoyment, these two 'You're A Melody' classics weren't originally meant to get official releases. But due to popular request, they are now available to play and share in very special moments at parties around the world. MEL7, Maurice Moore's ethereal Hammond bass soul anthem 'Everything That Shines Ain't Gold", is pressed as a 12-inch, with parts 1 and 2 from the original 7-inch merged on one side, and the FP edit on the flip. A multi-instrumentalist, the talented Moore grew up in Chicago listening to music from the local scene, including the likes of Etta James, Boe Diddly and Chuck Berry. Unable to pay for guitar lessons, Moore learned what a major, a minor and a 7th chord were from his uncle and went from there. After opening for legendary acts such as James Brown, Parliament, Funkadelic and Kool & the Gang, Moore and his band went on to record their debut album in 1976 before he took a back seat in the 80s to focus on the business side of things

Outstanding three track EP from the archives of Caliban (A side project of London musician Milton Myrie, a session guitar player who worked with cult UK buddhist afro and reggae band Ozo as well as on the much sought after Steel and Skin 'Afro Punk Reggae' 12'). Talk about bang for ye buck.. 1 side crucial oddball digital cuts, b side sounds like a UK jazz funk classic... Gold Print Sleeve. BIG TIP!
.
Caliban produced only one self-released 7' 'Open Mind / Digital Reggae' in 1984.
Following the re-discovery of this very little known 7' by Caliban a few years back, UK producer Jackson Bailey aka Tapes managed to track Milton down, who as well as being in possession of most of the stock of the original record, was also sat on a number of amazing unreleased recordings from the Caliban sessions. With an album of unreleased Caliban material compiled by Tapes to follow later on Music From Memory, this EP introduces one of the unreleased tracks, the incredible feel good disco anthem Supernatural'. Taking us on a glittering, rhythm charged rocket tour of the Funk Cosmos, this until-now-unheard future classic will surely set the summer nights alight.
The three track 12' also includes Digital Reggae' which featured on the original Caliban 7'. This computerised dancehall/funk hybrid was partially penned to address the lack of black culture included in the payload of the United States' first space station, Digital Reggae will be included in the Payload of Skylab!'. As well as the original mix, the EP also includes a new dub put together by Milton himself and assisted by riddim specialist Tapes!
Ramrock Records are proud to present the new album from musical visionary, Ghetto Priest.
Already known to many as the frontman of Asian Dub Foundation and vocalist on their globally acclaimed single 'Fortress Europe', Ghetto Priest has been captivating audiences with his powerful vocals and magnetic stage presence over the past three decades.
With a raw energy and spirit un-matched by many artists of his generation, he constantly pushes at the boundaries of roots music, his style strongly maintaining the essence of his Jamaican heritage. Produced by On-U Sound supremo Adrian Sherwood..
His latest sermon is a blend of righteous incitements and damning indictments that reflect the paranoia of daily life. Title track 'Every Man For Every Man' asks us to reach out to our fellow neighbour while he delivers a sobering message towards the environment and defending if from the evils of a money-motivated government on 'Sacred Ground'.
On the mystical 'Good Lord', Ghetto Priest seeks spiritual guidance and his raw primal energies and forces come to light in a passionate re-working of the Robert Burns poem, 'I Murder Hate', before the trials and triumphs of black women are voiced in the Judy Mowatt song, 'Black Woman'. On the little-known Peter Tosh song, 'Babylon Queendom', he passionately announces Babylon's fall, demanding back the riches she's plundered.
A long-time member of the On-U Sound family, Ghetto Priest was a former rudeboy and Arsenal football hooligan who was incarcerated briefly after stepping on to the wrong side of the tracks. Turning to Rastafarianism, he began writing lyrics, and he honed his vocal skills and artistic persona around the sound system culture of the early 80s, before becoming part of Sherwood's African Head Charge collective and started MC-ing on the producer's live/DJ sets.
As one of the more flamboyant and creative performers to emerge from the scene, he was invited by Asian Dub Foundation to take on the vocals for the opening track of their 'Enemy of the Enemy' album released in 2003 along with lead vocals on the follow-up album, 'Tank'. His On-U Sound debut came a year later, the critically acclaimed album 'Vulture Culture', produced by Adrian Sherwood.
He went on to record under his own name for a number of other labels including Reggae On Top and Conscious Sounds. More or lesser known artists to have flavoured his guest vocals include The Underwolves, Sinead O'Connor, Groove Armada, James Hardway (aka David Harrow) and Little Axe.
In 2011, Ghetto Priest joined forces with Lucid Mover in a project called Screaming Soul. This resulted in the album 'Ghost Inna Shell' and in 2012, an Adrian Sherwood and Nick Coplowe (aka Mutant Hi-Fi)-remixed companion, 'Ghost Inna Dub'.
In 2016, he released the single 'Life Ain't Easy' based on Dennis Brown's 'Easy, Take It Easy', via Ramrock Records, and has two more projects in the Ramrock pipeline set for future release.
David Rodigan, Premiered in 'Clash', reviewed in 'Reggae Vibes', Soundsphere Magazine, God is in the TV. To be reviewd in MOJO etc. I'll update as and when I get the reviews

Last volume of this compilation series, again a great one.., Holding amazing tunes from across the globe that you probably already have been looking for.... TIP!!
.
Over the last five years and as many volumes of their Beach Diggin' compilations, Guts and Mambo have explored the reefs of five continents, dredged the sea beds of countless seas and oceans, examined every single seashell with the aim of making sure that no vinyl pearl should escape their notice.
Tunisian reggae, Japanese disco, West Indian jazz-funk, the duo's aesthetic dribbling skills would stop the savviest Brazilian football player dead in his tracks, and it was with this in mind that they proceeded to select their discoveries. With a marked preference for meditative free-diving rather than tour package scuba diving, and isolated spots rather than massively overdeveloped beachfronts.
For this latest instalment of their adventures, Guts and Mambo have organised another expedition around the world, to salute the spots where for the last five years they have uncovered rare specimens, saving some of them from total extinction, while shining a light on others that amply deserved it.
Though each Beach Diggin' compilation can be listened to independently of the others, the five together now form a kind of navigational chart signalling with its green flags the places where, in Africa, Europe, Asia, America, and the South Pacific, they gambolled on sandy beaches, avoiding the well-trodden path, becoming more and more demanding with each passing year.
Beach diggin' is a state of mind...

The man, the myth, the legend that is Danny 'Soopasoul' Bennett has returned to spread the good word of funk once again.
'Pushin' Weight' is the storming new instrumental track from our man Soopasoul and as usual it doesn't disappoint. Rambunctious sax lines and soaking wet wah wah chords ride over the tight drums and grooving congas. There's more breaks than a fat man running a marathon with this floor filler and more exciting still, it's coming out on 7" vinyl for your listening pleasure.
The aptly titled B-side and perfect foil to this funky monster is his classic track - the fan favourite: 'Brand Nu' which has had a cheeky little 7" rework to make it, well...brand new.

London-based act Two Another emerged at the end of last year with debut track 'Higher', an addictively slinky and nocturnal pop tune. Inspired by the decadent end of 70's soul and pages from J Dilla's production book the track features ethereal house synths, catchy vocals and an irresistible bass-line.
It quickly turned heads, winning them the attention of tastemakers such as Majestic Casual, Indie Shuffle, Hilly Dilly, Discobelle and Blah Blah Blah Science, whilst also clocking over a million plays across Soundcloud, YouTube and Spotify.
Their second offering 'Keeping Me Under' went even further to cement excited intrigue with its smooth hook-laden vocals and bass line reminiscent of the Motown era. It raced up the Hype Machine chart and clocked up hundreds of thousands of plays through word of mouth, leading them to be featured in Pigeons and Planes' '20 Artists About To Blow, According To Social Media'.
The story continues with the announcement of Two Another's self-titled debut EP, which combines their two tracks to date with third offfering 'Shouldnt Have Done That'. The latter
presents a more stripped back and emotive element of their sound, with wistful falsetto vocals laid over an enticingly minimal beat.
As a body of work, the debut EP introduces an outfit with a vibrant and accomplished sonic poise, rich musical references and songs that are instantly infectious. With a lot more in the pipeline for 2016, it's the perfect opportunity to start watching out for Two Another.
