Michael Jackson / HiStory Continues - On Limited Picture Vinyl

Nothing more to say!

Unkle ist eine britische Musikgruppe, die 1992 von James Lavelle gegründet wurde. Ursprünglich als
Trip Hop kategorisiert, umfasste die Gruppe einst den Produzenten DJ Shadow und beschäftigte
verschiedene Gastkünstler und Produzenten. Im Jahr 1998 erschien das Album "Psyence Fiction" und
landete direkt auf Platz vier der britischen Charts. Am 18. August 2017 erschien das fünfte
Studioalbum - The Road pt. 1', auf dem sie unter anderem musikalische Unterstützung von Mark
Lanegan, Chris Goss und Twiggy Ramirez erhielten.
Nun erscheint "Psyence Fiction" erneut als 2LP auf 180g Vinyl.

Remastered 2017 version of the 2002 Thump mix with a new version on the flip, played with band and the addition of live instruments.. The legendary German House label NEEDS (not wants) returns after a long hiatus with a new release on the exclusive Gold Edition that is set up for revisiting their own classics to upgrade them with brand new versions and re-interpretations. Walkin Thru Circles - originally produced by Lars & Marek Bartkuhn - has always been a favourite for many of their fans. The original Thump Mix is a constantly building mover that is based on a massive beat, hypnotic soundscapes and highly energetic chord hooks, ready for taking off to outer space. For the Full Expansion Lars has gone back to the studio to recompose and re-record the whole thing over again, combining the skills of some excellent session musicians with lots of live instruments, drum & percussion and vocals all played and sung by the producer himself. The result is a complex, epic and fearless Jazzfunk odyssey, both musically expansive and heavily grooving at the same time.

More cut n paste action aimed straight at late nite disco dancefloors!

Disco Bits return to the 7" format for a nod back to the days of the late 70's and early 80's New York, when Disco and early hip hop combined thru cut n paste pioneers Tom Moulton, Jellybean Benitez, Steinski, Mantronix and more...

Side A - Cannon & Mirrorball - At The Disco

Throwback disco-rap type party record.
Vintage loops, licks and samples, heavy on the beats and grooves and underpinned by classic early rap samples.
A sure shot for fans of late 70's disco breaks and the dusted sounds of both Paradise Garage and the Latin Quarter.

Side B - Cannon & Mirrorball - Discobunny Megamix

They don't make em like this anymore!
Insanely fun mash-up of killer dance floor records from the golden era of megamix cut & paste records.
Chock full of well known loops and vocal samples all blended together into one great party record.

Almunia (Leonardo Ceccanti and Gianluca Salvadori) unleashed their
debut LP in 2011 with a sweet heady mix of overdubbed disco, guitars
and psyched out grooves. With gatefold hand numbered copies selling
on Discogs for around £170, you now get the chance to own it as a
double LP without breaking the bank. Kicking off with 'Psychedelic'
the pace is set, before 'New Moon' pins you down for a sweet Pink
Flloydian ride. 'Dos Estrellas' hits home to deliver the promise of this
outft, a blissed out subtle-as-you-like intro, coming on like a 12' indie
dub mix from the late 80's, dropping half way through for full on sunset
smiles.
The essence of Peter Green is distilled through 'Electro Blues' and
underpinned with a rubbery dustbowl bassline, vocals wash over the
breakdown in what could be the soundtrack to a weird peyote inspired
movie scene that hasn't been made yet. 'Kissing Time' sweetens
things up with a nifty melody and vocal whilst 'Moving Up Slowly'
really does as it says and notches up the bass, FX, beats and voices
for a hefty slab of midnight boogie.
'Travel' then turns up the sweatiness, with a sluggish, pounding beat,
solid throb of bass and analogue lines from a John Carpenter chase,
dark and heady, with vocals added by Benjamin James Smith from
Smith & Mudd. 'Until She Comes' brings you round nicely at the other
end of the LP with a sweet lolloping bass, choral touches, nifty beats
and a delicate hand on the guitar.
Comes as a double LP limited to 300

New label Home Hitters coming with 2 crackers just in time for Christmas and previously unreleased on 7". First up, Masters At Work massive remix of the classic "Funky Sensation" by Gwen McCrae, recently jacked by Disclosure. On the B side is the One Rascal edit of Aretha Franklin's timeless "Respect". Both are guaranteed dancefloor bombs!

Ein Trip durch die tropische Dance-Szene in vier Akten, limitiert auf 1000 Exemplare. Sein fünfjähriges Jubiläum feiert das Label Cree Records mit einer exklusiven 12''. Diese enthält vier von
befreundeten DJs editierte Songs aus dem Backkatalog. Bei dem Quartett handelt es sich um DJ Nomad, Keshav Singh, Al Kent und Waxist. Der Berliner DJ Nomad suchte sich Barbara Hernandez' "All Nite Tonight" aus. Keshav Singh ist Teil des trinidadisch-britischen Produktionsduos Jus Now; er verwandelte Mansa Musas "Beat The Drum" in eine housige Soca-Nummer. Die beiden anderen Stücke werden auf der demnächst erscheinenden Kompilation "Gotta Nice Buzz. The Funky Sound Of Semp Studios Trinidad, W.I." zu finden sein: Zum einen der Remix des französischen DJs und Plattensammlers Waxist von Zodiacs "I Believe". Zum anderen ein von Al Kent besorgter Edit des trinidadischen Disco-Klassikers "Music Makes The
World Go 'round" der Hamilton Brothers aus dem Jahr 1978.

Africa Seven presents A7 Edits. The African reissue and compilation output slides over to the dancefloor with its new edits label, packing both holsters with edits alongside sought after originals, a combination you don't see all that often. The man in charge of the first edition is Stefano Ritteri, who has seen recent releases on Freerange and Congoloid, has DJs like Axel Boman regularly playing his edits and has his own imprint Viaggio set to drop in 2019. Stefano is a producer where sampling is key to his creative process and unreleased edits of African and other worldly delights have made up a lot of his DJ sets of recent.

With the A-side we see Stefano take on Ekambi Brillant's 1976 Nyambe, originally released on BBZ productions and later featuring on our African Funk Experimentals series. Stefano takes the Cameroonian's disco number, extends it, speeds it up and adds a whole lot of dancefloor energy, with a well-constructed break down and party-time drop. Stefano manages to create the perfect dancefloor weapon with this one, maintaining a lot of the original energy and reintroducing it into the 21st century.

On the B-side we have Stefano's interpretation of one of the more psychedelic numbers that we have released on Africa Seven, with Zinabu from Bunzu Soundz, originally featured on their 1976 in demand Afrodisia album. This edit sees the Nigerian psychedelic highlife lift off into space, with trippy sound effects playing on top of chunky sampled drums and a well thought out bass line whilst the guitar solo competes against the vocals for lead position.
A7 Edits offer with this release the opportunity to see how the artist has interpreted two original works on the same record. This being Volume 1, it goes without saying that we have others on the way.

New vinyl single release including 2 rare Disco gems edited
by Austrian DJ/Producer, The Schwinn.

Two slices of prime cut DISCO-BOOGIE-FUNK from 1979 by this US band formed by siblings Rebecca Dru and Ian Wilson. Featuring Tower Of Power horn section.

First ever vinyl reissue!

Guy & Howard explore a depth of influences across these five special tracks which draw from their love of African rhythms, deep house, disco and vocal jazz.
'All of these tracks are sample based and we wanted to delve into genres that we hadn't really experimented with in the past. What we ended up with worked so well together as a set - uplifting, upbeat and danceable, and it made sense to put them all out now in one go.' -Disclosure
The Moonlight LP consolidates all these releases and is available as an exclusive limited edition vinyl release, out on December the 7th.

Direct from Chicago, Daptone Records is delighted to introduce the newest member to our celestial stable of stars, Mr. Master Plan Inc. himself: Doug Shorts.

After cutting a series of now classic sides with Cherries Records, Doug came to NYC to work on some new recordings with the crack Production Team Silver and Gold: Frank Dukes (Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bad Not Good) & Homer "Boom Boom" Steinweiss (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Menahan Street Band). Luckily for us two of the tracks made it over to Daptone HQ, which is what we humbly offer to you...The Daptone Family!

Side A: "Casual Encounter," is a modern soul mover with an insistent beat, accompanied by tasteful drum machine fills and hook-laden synth lines - the tune makes you feel as though you're on the way to the beach in your folks 1982 Buick Riveria convertible.

On the flip is "Keep Your Head Up," a mid-tempo ballad whose bounce and melody lands somewhere between a Rick James production and Frankie Beverly's Maze, is a sure-fire spark to get the one you love out on the dance-floor. It's simply 100% PURE CLASS. Get one before they're gone!

It is well known that talent never guarantees any success in the music industry. This sentence summarizes the story of The 9th Creation, one of the best soul, funk, disco and boogie band to make it out of Stockton, CA.

Founded by J.D. and A.D Burrise in 1970, the 9th Creation went on for almost two decades and released 3 albums and half a dozen singles that regularly flirted with the US Charts, getting them featured on Soul Train in 1975 and allowing them to tour North America and Japan a few times over. 9th Creation regularly shared the bill with Irma Thomas, James Brown, The Whispers, The Sylvers, The Main Ingredient, Con Funk Shun and many others.

The music that J.D, A.D Burrise and their 10-12 band members created was a perfect combination of West Coast raw soul, disco and funk that resulted in a religious fan following across the globe.
To this day, The 9th Creation has been sampled by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Artifacts, Quasimoto, 3rd Bass, Basement Jaxx and many others.

9th Creation was undoubtedly one of the greatest funk band of the Seventies.

Past Due Records is proud to officially reissue the 9th Creation's essential full lengths and singles, carefully remastered and all in their original artworks. Second masterpiece from 9th Creation, 'Reaching for the top' was initially released on Prelude records in 1977. A huge step up from 'Bubble Gum', this album dives into disco, funk and gospel funk. Another classic, reissued for the first time ever.

Just say Background Disco and you're quickly reminded of the super-groovy sound that pervaded certain sequences of 1970's Italian films, generally set in discos or clubs with a strong presence of music. Soul, disco, and funk tracks playing in the background, between a dance on the floor and a glass of J&B at the counter, that were supposed not to overcome the dialogues. Two of these jewels, signed by Alessandroni for the sexy comedy FRITTATA ALL'ITALIANA (1976, Alfonso Brescia) and previously released by our label in the collection LOST & FOUND (Four Flies Records 2017), definitely deserve the upgrade to the 12'' format. Therefore, they are proposed in a new edit designed for the dancefloor, each in a double version: the sung one (by lesser known Lorena, a member of Alessandroni's vocal band I Cantori Moderni) and the instrumental one.

New label MIC launches with some previously unreleased and unheard material from UK DIY jazz funk maverick, Mike Collins, better known as the brains behind the spacey Loft classic, Sun Palace - 'Rude Movements'. MIC presents a small archive of Collins' material (recorded around the time of 'Rude Movements') and reveals the more experimental side of Collins' production. Five tracks that explore early, proto-house music, electro, and fascinating drum machine observation. Essential issue!

Bill Brown and Al Hall jr met around 1971, they were both in south central L.A and shared the same apartment building, also in the same building was Doug Carn and brownstone singer billy Wilson.
These studio sessions were don't at Paramount studios Hollywood where Al Hall jr was working for producer Art Smith a&c music.
The main distributor for A&C was Accent records. So the Soul Injections very first single "Stay off the moon" was released via Accent, as was Bill Browns "Bip Bam" The group wasn't that pleased with how Accent handle the releases so Bill took it upon himself to set up his own label called Brownstone records. Many musicians were called in for studio sessions these included
Doug Carn, organ; Kirk Lightsey, keyboards; Mel Bolton,
guitars; Mel Lee, drums; Al Hall jr (trombones), Willaim 'Bill'Henderson strings.
The label was met with some confrontation from other Hollywood labels and many of the Brownstone releases were told not to hit the shops by Mafia run labels. Later around 1975 Brownstone released a track by Everyday people feat Alexis "world full of people"....A now cult soul 45 ....This is one of two versions to come out of "Fool-ology". The story goes Bill Brown had lost his voice for the sessions and called in a good friend Billy Wilson to take over the responsibility. He done a great job.

Look! Ultra rare and super dope Disco-Boogie reissue alert!

That's right, Distinction's 1982 jammer 'That's the way I like it' is back! Fully licensed in conjunction with the rights holders and remastered for 2018 by Above Board distribution. This one's long been at the top of the wants lists of DJ's and dancers for ages, a masterclass in UK Boogie flavour brought to you by the production and writing prowess of Roy Carter who was a member of the UK's legendary Soul and Funk legends Heatwave and who worked extensively with Central Line, Junior Giscombe, Dee C. Lee and many many more throughout his long career. Pretty much all of Distinction's output is tough to find with the majority appearing on tiny labels, and second hand prices for these gems are always on the high side with this particular 12" being one of the most sought after. This is a proper and full reproduction of the original Hansa 12" from 1982 with the added bonus of the 7" mixes being included of both 'That's the way I like it' and b-side winner 'Looking for love'. This one has been booted before with severely lacking quality control, but we are proud to say this reissue has been fully licensed and made using the original tapes with all remastering handled lovingly by Optimum Mastering, Bristol, UK. This is an unmissable reissue if you dig this sound, don't miss out! Pure fire.

NYC's Disco powerhouse West End Records should need no intro. The home of too-numerous-to-list club classics for over 30+ years is still impacting today on what we know to be club culture. The label started by one Mel Cheren (RIP) with assistance from Larry Levan and more way back in 1976 is still held in such high regard today with it's catalogue constantly being played, rediscovered, reinterpreted and loved by waves and waves of new fans and admirers.

From the West End vaults we are pleased to present Ednah Holt's 'Serious, Sirius Space Party', a thundering, slo-mo, bass-heavy slab of NYC electronic funk that will sound familiar to those who paid close attention to what the maestro Larry Levan was doing in his sacred booth at the Garage in 1981, or to those who tuned in to peep what the master Afrika Islam was doing on his now semi-religious, hip-hop blueprint 'Zulu Beat Show' on WHBI. That's right, you can guarantee if those 2 guys were playing your record in the city at the same time then you had an underground 'hit' on your hands. The fact that it crossed over from the discotheques to the streets and back again speaks of the appeal of this super heavyweight jam, the legendary team up of Kenton 'Kenix' Nix, Larry himself on the mix, and former Ritchie Family vocalist Ednah Holt makes for some heady listening. One for the after hours dancers, B-Boys and B-Girls and lovers of the downtempo workout. A true and essential NYC classic.

All tracks featured re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released with the permission of and in conjunction with West End Records, New York City / BMG.

With MEL013, Melodies International are extremely proud to bring you at last, a disco anthem from Detroit that was originally recorded in 1980 and dedicated to the 'King Of The Champion Fighters': Le Stim - A Tribute to Muhammad Ali (We Crown The King).

Le Stim was a band formed by lead vocalist Donald Jennings in the late 70s. Now an ordained deacon back in Detroit, Jennings was brought up in a gospel environment and was said to be born to sing. Growing up picking up songs from the likes of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald or Sam Cooke, Jennings frequently performed for family and friends and went on to sing for audiences in New York, St. Louis and all around Detroit.

We Crown The King is a song written in the mid 70s by the late Herbert Andrei Duncan, also from Detroit. Duncan approached Jennings with the song who was initially reluctant to sing it because it took him out of his usual vocal range. However, Duncan finally (thankfully!) managed to persuade Jennings after five years to record a tune that would prove to become a party anthem decades later.

Remembering Duncan, Jennings says: 'Andrei was positive..inquisitive.... and determined. I was only 18 or 19 years old at the time and remember Andrei coming over to my house.... He had a cellphone in his car!.. I remember going to Andrei's house, and he said he wanted to do the track. Andrei did not take no for an answer! The answer had to be yes! However Andrei didn't have any money to record the song with. So we made a deal. In exchange for the use of his P.A., Loc (the drummer) provided the seventeen musicians for Le Stim to record 'We Crown The King'. The session itself was recorded at a studio in Southfield, Michigan.
According to Jennings, Muhammad Ali did hear the track back then and liked it! Le Stim were in touch with Ali's management and were about to meet him on a number of occasions which unfortunately didn't work out.

Licensing this record has proven to be Melodies' biggest research effort as of yet and has involved visiting it's author, Duncan's former house in Detroit only to discover it had burned down and that his family had moved years ago. It wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable help of Jeremy from Rain&Shine records (NZ) who then managed to track down the family back in Texas!

Officially licensed, remastered and cut to half-speed lacquers at 45rpm (instead of it's original 33rpm format) to bring the shine out of the top end - MEL013 comes forth in it's original 12' vinyl format with exclusive Melodies stickers and digitally too.

Soul Jazz Records' new Boombox 3 continues their story of the first rap records to be put onto vinyl. It is a jam-packed collection of original independent 'old-school' hip-hop, created with just one
thing in mind - to get this party jumping! After the explosion of hip hop in the parks and clubs of The Bronx in the mid-1970s, it was in Harlem where the first rap records emerged at the end of 1979 - an avalanche of superb rap tracks released on small independent labels all trying to capitalise on the success of 'Rappers Delight.' Like hip hop culture itself, these first rap singles are the product of their own unique set of aesthetics - exciting and innovative rap performed with Bronx block party B-Boy funk breaks, disco jams and Jamaican sound system culture. The extensive sleevenotes discuss hip-hop's trajectory from the first wave of Bronx creativity - the legendary DJs Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa - through to its arrival in Harlem via the entrepreneurism ofld-school´African-American rhythm and blues producers and
émigré Jamaican producers all living in New York. Along the way the notes discuss everything from the New York power blackout of 1977, the Italian mafia involvement in the music industry, the links between rap and Jamaican dancehall and more besides! Boombox 3 features a line-up of stunning, near unknown New York rap artists, classic disco breaks (including Chic's omnipotent Good Times, MFSB's Love Is the Message, Queen's Another One Bites The Dust etc.), proto-electro and more. And by the early 1980s the first rap records outside New York began to emerge - Los Angeles, Houston, Milwaukee, Phoenix - and the first of these are also featured here in this new collection.
This Soul Jazz Records album is released on heavyweight triple vinyl (+ download code) with full notes, double CD pack with 44-page outsize booklet and slipcase, and digital album.

Jeder Track auf TIMELESS wurde von Barry Gibb persönlich ausgewählt und sequenziert.

Utopia Cloak arrives on FILM with six track EP, Marina Gardens. Utilising both electronic & acoustic components, the British producer crafts hazy, dynamic electronica with a decidedly emotive bent. The music explores a curious production aesthetic - at once half sunk and at the same time gloriously crisp and direct. Caustic drum machine hits underpin the majority of the work, compete with polyrhythmic rolls & glitches, while softly warping synth lines occupy the majority of the remaining sonic space. Rather than working explicitly with nostalgia, Utopia Cloak makes more subtle references to the classic sounds of yore - riffing on Downtempo & IDM with gentle and considered nuance, eking out arcane hooks & rich melodies with a pleasing focus on compositional structure & songcraft. Contrast is the key here, though - and Utopia Cloak works hard to find the balance between metallic per-cussion strikes and wide-angle instrumental elements, avoiding chaos in favour of a lush, rewarding lis-tening experience.

Since the release of his 2 first albums on Favorite Recordings, Lucas Arruda has quickly established himself as one of the most talented young artist and composer from Brazil. His music is filled with fusion style, mixing influences and elements from his Latin musical background, with his genuine admiration for Jazz, Soul and Funk music.

In spring 2015, it was also not surprising to find Lucas Arruda back with a new LP called SOLAR, receiving great supports and feedbacks from international media and tastemakers. One of the highlight of the album was the song 'Melt the Night', on which Lucas asked legendary producer Leon Ware for his help, reminding his collaborations in the 80s with Marcos Valle, when they perfectly merged together the sophisticated Boogie and AOR touch from California, with the blazing sense of rhythm from Brazil.

Today, Lucas Arruda and Favorite Recordings proudly present a brand new single, announcing the release of Lucas' third efforts later this year. This new opus is pursuing the music direction set with SOLAR, mixing touch of Blue-Eyed-Soul, Pop, Soul and Brazilian styles together, and influenced by the path of legendary Brazilian producer Lincoln Olivetti, who recorded some of the biggest stars of Brazilian music (Marcos Valle, Jorge Ben, Tim Maia...).

In Lucas words: 'These two tracks represent the whole spirit of the new album. In this record I really wanted to honor Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti. They are the main influence on this record. We recorded the basic tracks for the album in the same studio that Lincoln Olivetti did his last works. So, this was very important to capture the true essence of Brazilian Funk/AOR tradition. Hope you guys enjoy it!'

You may know of 'Rude Movements', an early dance music classic produced by SunPalace (Mike Collins and Keith O'Connell) back in 1983 that brought together protohouse, balearic beats and funky vibes. In 1984, the tune quickly became an anthem that could regularly be heard at David Mancuso's 'The Loft' or at Larry Levan's 'Paradise Garage' for example.
Thanks to Mike Collins, the studio veteran still in the business after more than 35 years and currently busy perpetuating the legacy of SunPalace, more material from the archives
has been 'surfacing' over the past few years on UK-based record labels. After a very productive meeting earlier this year, Parisian label Chuwanaga is really proud to present four unreleased songs produced between 1982 and 1984! Co-written by Mike Collins from SunPalace and Breeze McKrieth, a founder member of Britfunk bands Light Of The World and Beggar & Co, these Lost Songs are the almost forgotten result of this seminal collaboration, an exclusive musical rendez-vous between experienced studio music makers and funksters at the top of their game, including some of the finest Britfunk musicians. Bringing together eighties influences and futuristic sounds, the result covers a wide range of genres, from jazz-funk to new wave: it captured a unique
moment in British musical history, a smooth transition to a more electronic sound. Definitely not one to be missed!

They say that good things come in threes... it must be true and Favorite Recordings also proudly presents the third edition of its acclaimed French Disco Boogie Sounds compilation series.

Like on prior volumes, the complete tracklist is selected by label head honcho, Charles Maurice (aka Pascal Rioux), who's unearthed 13 more forgotten and hidden tracks, all produced whether in France, in French, or by French artists between 1977 and 1987.

With most of these titles now very hard to find in their original edition and unknown by many, this compilation should be a must have for any Disco-Boogie-Funk music lover and collector.

Fully remastered from originals at The Carvery Cut (UK), French Disco Boogie Sounds Vol.3 (1977-1987, selected by Charles Maurice) is presented by Favorite Recordings in a gatefold vinyl double LP and as CD.

A new work produced by Zurich Dada, a duo from Porto, who play a kind of calm and melancholic Synth Pop. The release comes with two original tracks from them. On side A with 'Peta Bytes', which includes Antoni Maiovvi and Franck Kartell remixes, who are back on Aspecto Humano. On side B is included 'Kites' with a banger remix from the house by Anbau.
