Hip-Hop Vinyl New Releases - News

Known for his 140 BPM productions heavily influenced by reggae, King Yoof continues to release music with soul; encompassing all different styles that make up sound system culture. Born and bred in Lewisham, the English producer encountered the local sound system Saxon Sounds, which played dub music that struck him by heart. He then devoted all his time in learning how to make music through imagination, which quickly led to respected releases on labels like Sub Slayers, Dub Police (remix for Caspa) and Big Dadda Records (remix for Congo Natty). Yoof's 'Homage To The King' LP is a strictly dub album that has been in the works for years. As it was never meant for release, experimenting and recording bands led to an archive of dub samples that needed a necessary dub treatment. It quickly became part of the producer's lifetime passion project, allowing him to delve into the music that hits his soul indefinitely. Each of the centrepieces have been sampled, reworked and pushed to their limits to let loose King Yoof's personal and psychedelic visions. This collectively forms a sophisticated dub album that salutes all past masters of dub - and even includes a tribute to the old 'Sleng Teng' hit by the legendary Wayne Smith. Every single production is characterised by vibrant basslines, a clean sound and authentic dub attitude. This makes listening to them a very comfortable experience for anyone familiar and unfamiliar with our Moonshine music catalogue. Every tempo is treated in 'Homage To The King' LP, going down a common path of dread and brightness: Class-A dub music from London, UK. With King Yoof and acclaimed appearances by I-Lodica, Earl 16, MC Spee and Raggs, the Moonshine family tree is growing from the roots up. With another LP full of dub-flavoured music, 2016 is turning out to be another highlight year for us. Make sure to gear up for the summer, as more Moonshine material is about to surface!

Die beiden Loop und Beat Fetischisten veröffentlichen über Fruit Company ihren ersten gemeinsamen Longplayer auf Platte der genau dies beinhaltet: Schöne Loops mit passenden Beats zu jedem Anlass aber wohl besonders für den Tag am Strand mit allem was dazu gehört. Wer die beiden bis jetzt nicht auf dem Schirm hatte sollte selbigen aufspannen ... oder wie Mett und Toet selber sagen würden: "keep it simple, keep it straight... life`s a beach ... just some beats for the summer ... elevatorboombapjazz"

Soul Masooka. The first international african hit, classic groove of summer '73 gets instant jamaican treatments by ex-Melodians Brent Dowe backed by The Gaytones. Years before Manu Dibango came to Kingston for a Sly & Robby session, a tribute had been paid to the 'negropolitan'. From coast to coast! From Africa to Jamaica! This is Earth Sound!

A certain level of soulful expression can be reached only when stars align correctly up there as well as down here. Once in a while a new track comes along that fools you into thinking you are listening to some lost re-discovery from the catacombs of American soul.

The first release on Timmion Records' new Stylart imprint should leave a lasting mark on all friends of quality soul balladry. "Love Can Last Forever" by the enigmatic Fred is the tune that will turn your heart to the love side whether you hear it at the end of a heavy club night, gripping on the wood grain wheel, or leaning on the bars of the penitentiary.

Who is Fred then, you might ask. Suffice to say he is a complicated man, who possesses a buttery falsetto and the rare power to turn banal testimonies of heartache and love into cathartic magic. This basically means he has soul, and we don't state this lightly here at Timmion. After his first release, there are a few other heaters lined up, so be prepared for Fred, his star is rising.

The 4th album from George Clinton's funk/psych/rock outfit, originally released in 1972, is a double LP of epic proportions. Deep and heavy grooves propelled by the always amazing guitar, bass and keyboard work of Eddie Hazel, William "Bootsy" Collins, and Bernie Worrell, respectively. Equally sleazy, political, heartfelt, and just plain bizarre, America Eats Its Young was, and remains, one of the few double albums of the 1970s that warranted every single minute of wax. Reissued on one red and one green vinyl in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.

One of Jimmy Rileys best tunes with Lee Perry. An impassioned vocal that lays Jimmys observations on the state of 'Rasta' at the time.
Jimmy acknowledged Perrys production skills when I asked him how was it at the Black Ark with Scratch, he smiled and said
'Fun, Scratch was great to work with' Perry joins in on the vocals on the flipside. Top notch.

Die 4-Track RnB/Electronica EP wurde hauptsächlich von Kwes (Warp) produziert, beteiligt waren aber auch Ozkharp (Hyperdub), der Produzent seiner 2014 erschienenen "Falling Star EP", und Lockah (Donky Pitch).

The Flames started life as a backing unit for Alton Ellis but recorded under a variety of names The Crashers, The Hurricanes, The Invaders.
Winston Jarrett was usually in the mix as the one constant member. Difficult to say who takes the lead vocalist is on this Nyabingi infused number.
Most likely its Danny Clarke.
