The legendary SABOR DO BRASIL compilations are back, presenting the very best "Brazilian Comic" music. Volume 6 of the series continues to mesh spacey bits of synth and syncopated beats with Brazilian rhythms. Expect a fusion of cosmic dancefloor grooves and elements of Samba and Bossa rather than a straight roster of Brazilian music. The collection is including rare edits and long versions. Titles include "Partido Alto", "Chosen Ones", "African Roots", "Roda", "Drumm Drumm", "Hey Rio!" and more. A must for all discerning disco and Latin DJs!!!...

Recorded both at the Black Ark and a studio in Holland in 1980 while Perry was allegedly gobbling acid by the handful. The last album to feature the sound of the Black Ark, 'Return ..' is a truly spacy, meandering, borderline incoherent, but frequently amazing recording. As if Perry needed chemical stimulation to be far out, this record is a stunning glimpse of how far he was planning to push the production envelope. Must be heard to be believed

Seven 7inches in seven months - Hamburg's Pingipung Label surprises fans and music lovers with a vinyl series called "Summer Of Seven".

When talking aout Ska Music one group of musicians whose name always comes to the forefront of the conversation are The Skatalites.
Formed around 1965 and named originally after the Soviet space satellite which was big news at the time.
With a little help from band member Tommy Mc Cook making a play on the characteristic 'Ska'sound made by the guitar when following the 'after beat' of the music.
The band would have a name to go with its distinctive musical style.
The time span of The Skatalites career considering their output of hundreds of tunes was a relatively short one of around two years.
We have caught a great set of tunes that the band cut at the legendary Treasure Isle Studios, built out of wood and positioned above Duke Reid's liquor store, it somehow worked in getting a great sound out of the band.
We have cherry picked a selection for your musical pleasure..
We hope you enjoy the set....
