Hip-Hop Vinyl New Releases - News

West coast-inspired funk, modern dance music & classic analog electronics collide on this deepy funk collab. 5 tracks of classic 70s syth-funk meets grime /dubstep / bass, boogie meets hip hop. Full color pic sleeve.

"Funk Is Ruling My Head" is the first single from "Together", the second album by Pitch & Scratch.
The original version of "Mzuzu Walk", the highlight from the debut album "Hamburg Hustle", is exclusive to this format.

Bo has collaborated with Mulatu Astatke, Issa Bagayogo, Bollywood star Shilpa Rao, and BaianaSystem, and released critically acclaimed remixes for Poirier, Luisa Maita, Filastine, Blick Bassy and Bomba Estéreo on labels such as Tru-Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Cumbancha, Dutty Artz, World Connection and many others. For 'Quilombo Do Futuro Remixed', Maga Bo called upon the talents of a select team of top notch producers haling from several different continents. The original tracks united the organic subtleties of the Afro-Brazilian rhythms coco, maculela, samba, gong and capoeira with the punchy, powerful, electronic based sounds of dub, raga, hip hop and dubstep. The remixes take the tracks even further. Frikstailers deliver a monster digital cumbia remix. Uproot Andy comes with a crunk, bullerengue samba reggae. Subatomic Sound System brings a hypnotic dub rework. Stereotyp's remix is spooky, frantic burst of barefoot energy. El Remolon takes baile funk into trance cumbia dub territory. Sabo brings a sunny, uplifting vibe for the dance floor. Dr. Das injects noise and grit with a deep, deep bassline. Process Rebel treats coco to warm distortion and spacious reverb. Dub Gabriel offsets hard, one-drop dub and samba with political commentary on immigration. Digitaldubs drops a raw, dirty bass and rapid-fire funk programming. DJ Dolores' new project Stank, comes with a dubbed out samba reggae. Poirier goes deep on his tranced out jongo rework. Batida connects the dots between samba and kuduro.

Limited reissue of two disco-funk classics by 70s super-group - WAR, renowned for their masterful blending of soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae and rock influences. On the A side you'll find the 7.30 minute promo-only disco version of Cosmic groover 'Galaxy', a wonderful technicolour star-spangled space-hop of smooth horns and hooks, blasted into the outer-funkosphere by a deeply delicious phat bassline, devastatingly groovy piano riffs and great dubbed-out vocals. On the flip, we have the mighty 13-minute Loft classic 'City Country City', a subtle blues-influenced obscurity taken from 1972 album 'The World Is A Ghetto'. Riding high on a blissful sax solo and laced with hauntingly mellow strains of a harmonica, this epic tune takes you on a soulful smoky journey through a dreamy land of slo-mo jazz and disco. Top quality!

Janko Nilovic is a pianist, poet and composer extraordinaire from Montenegro who has lived in France since 1960. He is one of those musicians who devote themselves to music fanatically. This resulted in a great number of published works, but most of them are on library labels not available for sale. His opus stretches from Classical, Jazz and Funk to Pop, Psyche and Easy Listening.

This time around Mr Fantastic has enlisted the help of good friend and veteran Bristol MC, Retna (Quantum Deluxe/Binary Brothers) to supply the vocals. The general theme is that of Mr Fantastic having to twist Retna's arm into doing the rhymes on his new beat and even though he's not necessarily in the mood, Retna pulls out a superb couple of verses, ending up with a great track. The song features some tight scratches by Mr Fantastic and in a shocking change from today's norm the song ends with a nice long instrumental break for the B-Boys to get loose.

institutions. This is due in no small part to its heady combination of picturesque location - its dancefloors face

cream of the electronic crop passing through its doors every week.

The mix CD series, now in its eleventh incarnation, is a further means for the club to stamp its seal onto the

edition, DIYNAMIC label boss and man of the moment Solomun takes up the mantle and demonstrates his
own interpretation of club music.
