Hip-Hop Vinyl New Releases - News

The 1st in four vinyl that will all feature tracks not available on either the cd or digital release of this comp & each part is strictly limited to 1000 copies & will not be repressed.

Hounds of Hate are a London-based trio whose music is a potent brew of acid house bass lines fused with half-speed screwed & chopped drums, resulting in what has been dubbed "soft-core screw house". Hounds of Hate do not adhere to digital production methods but embrace limitations of old equipment, arriving at a unique lo-fi sound. They often mix around with Hype Williams and the Bo Khat Family band, spawning mixtapes, aborted radio talk shows and befuddled audiences. Live, they've played with Pens, Graffitti island, Hype williams, Plugs, Maria and the Mirrors and have upcoming shows with Caribou, Gold Panda and Alexander Tucker

Taken from Roy Ayers' 1971 album "Ubiquity" This track was a forerunner to the jazz-funk hit "Everyone Loves The Sunshine" and was originally written by Nat (Cannonball) Adderley ("Hummin In The Sun") before getting an Ayers/Edwin Birdsong arrangement in 1971. Ayers was a pioneer, mixing advanced jazz elements with pop, funk, and rock and Hummin is a prime example of this...a particularly memorable and distinctive calling card.

Mocambo Records are back with a new full length, limited edition, vinyl-only album by the Delta Rhythm Section - any rare groove lover's dream-come-true!

The obscure group is one of the last and best kept secrets of the deep funk movement. In the past years, the Vinylizor production team of Gary Crockett, Jay & Dominic Glover has produced true deep funk treasures with the creme of the London Funk scene.

Band members from the James Taylor Quartet, the New Mastersounds, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, the Sound Stylistics, Incognito & percussionist Snowboy all contributed to the legendary sessions that went into archives but never saw the light of a commercial release.

After having released two tremdously successful 45s, the now mega rare "Funkin Fever" and "Nassau Strut", Mocambo Records reveal 12 more unreleased tracks. But it is not just about the rareness of these recordings, it's about the pure musical passion and vibe that lives in every second of this album. From the killer jazz funk of "Get It On" (used in a Musicload TV commercial), psychedelic grooves of "The Trip" through heavy soul instrumentals as "Hot Fudge", raw funk bangers as "Uptown Strut" to the latin soul of "Homecookin'", the 12 tracks make up the must have album of 2010 for every deep funk connaisseur on the planet.

Better forget the clones: this is serious break-heavy, creative, danceable & raw funky sound that will leave you breathless and redefine the genre soul-jazz in just 36 minutes. Beautifully manufactured high-quality vinyl. Barcode and internet-free-address, old-style jacket.

A mega rare modern soul monster w/sloppy drumming, odd synth chords intense male vocal. On the flip a big Chicago & UK disco soul cut w/slower breakdowns removed + a choir driven church monster, complete w/homemade breakdown.

Madhouse Mumbai, is an uptempo song that has the bounce of a bollywood dance track & the lyrical stylings of a Steely Dan song. "Jaipur", is a dark and moody instrumental that sounds like a lost track from an Indian horror movie soundtrack.

Brooklyn's longstanding record label Bastard Jazz Recordings is proud to bring you their next 12' from San Francisco based DJ, artist, and producer Mophono, aka DJ Centipede

Previously unreleased gem from the reigning Queen of Virginia Soul Barbara Stant.

After several years of extensive work and painstaking research the latest in our explorations into regional US funk obscurities is finally here. Has the wait for California Funk been worth it' Well, let's see what we have: 21 of the finest, rarest and most desirable funk recordings from the Sunshine state, put together for the first time with the personal blessing of each and every artist represented herein - shoddy bootleg this is not!

Both the LP and CD contain in-depth sleeve notes detailing the history of funk and R&B in California and the social conditions which led to the funk explosion of the late '60s. In addition there are thoroughly researched notes for every individual track, revealing for the first time the hidden stories behind such revered and enigmatic artists as Leon Gardner, Arthur Monday and Delores Ealy.

When David Walker did a spot of moonlighting under the pseudonym 'Bunker Hill' with Link Wray and his band, the alter-ego was necessary not only to avoid a conflict with his other commitments but also to allow Walker to break out from his gospel shackles and raise some hell - which he most certainly did on the unique and astounding set of recordings he made under this new moniker. Redefining the term 'Blues Shouter', Bunker Hill's vocals are screamed, barked and growled with a truly wild abandon, like a deranged synthesis of Little Richard and Howlin' Wolf. The accompaniment from Link Wray and his Raymen, meanwhile, is a masterclass of stark, primitive blues noise.

'You Can't Make Me Doubt My Baby' is a bass heavy stomper, a rolling rhythm with cool piano hits and of course Walker's gruff vocal. On the other side, 'Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf' showcases Bunker Hill's (even) wilder side as he yells and riffs a call and response sermon based on the nursery rhyme of the same name over an insistent, sparse, clattering drum-led back drop.

It's worth mentioning that all of the original singles were released on terrible styrene, which as most collectors know deteriorates progressively on repeated playing. So not only is it a pleasure to offer up Bunker Hill's unique madness to a wider audience, but also to preserve these two tracks on good quality vinyl for the first time.

As a multi instrumentalist, in-demand producer and re-mixer, a DJ with his finger on the cutting edge of contemporary sounds, and an ear tastefully cocked to the hippest soul, jazz and funk music from the 60's and 70's, Adam Gibbons, the talented young man at the centre of the Lack Of Afro phenomenon, has already established an unrivalled reputation as one of the most crucial names at work in funk and dance music today.

This brand new 4 track single features 2 brand new and 100% exclusive remixes from DJ Flevans (Tru Thoughts) and Mike Bandoni from Funkshone who rework 'Special Baby' and 'Beautiful Here' both in their own inimitable style.

Hang on' Lack Of Afro, Flevans and Funkshone on one special, beautiful new 12 inch' Yes, it's true and now it can be yours!
