Gangster Boy (3:49)
All You Need Is Time To Mess Around (2:49)
Review: All AOTN releases are special and have been curated, researched and excavated from the past with total care, attention and respect. This one, however, is a whole new level. Apparently originals have regularly changed hands for over $6000 and its taken 10 years for AOTN boss Fryer to located and procure a clean copy of the 300 pressings made way back in 77. "Gangster Boy" is a subtle slice of soul that gradually develops with sentiment and gusto as the backing vocals deliver harmony after harmony. Flip for a heavier deep funk affair where the instrumentation is much fuller and rawer but the BVs are just as big. A really interesting release in every possible direction. AOTN keep on delivering.

Billy Brooks - "Forty Days" (6:16)
A Tribe Called Quest - "Luck Of Lucien" (4:32)
Review: The Originals dot-joining exercise continues apace with another great lesson for the budding diggers and sample spotters... Here Alabama trumpeter Brooks' 74 jazz adventure is dusted off in all its meandering, joyfully unpredictable seven minute glory. Flip for a fine lesson in classic sampling as Tribe Called Quest's "Luck Of Lucien" utilises the hook at a different speed, pitch and vibe that's tailored for ATCQ. In the words of Q Tip himself "Get a grip on the mission you're taking".

We Gettin' Down (4:22)
The Power & The Glory (4:10)
Review: In amongst their programme of May essentials, Athens of the North have focused on highlight the grand soul escapades of Master Weldon Irvine across two killer sevens. We Gettin' Down the second and final of these and features two tracks from Irvine's 1974 LP for RCA Spirit Man. The more scholarly ears out there will of course recognise elements of "We Gettin' Down" from A Tribe Called Quest classic "Award Tour" and it's been lifted by everyone from Dego's Tek 9 project to bandy legged pop star Jamiroquai over the years. It's a pleasure from start (what a moog riff) to end and is complemented by the jazzed up bliss of "The Power & The Glory". Athens of the North are really spoiling us!

It Takes Two (2:03)
Don't Be Surprised (3:06)
Review: Mid '70s deep funk and smouldering soul, Miami-style. Only laying down a handful of 45s during her career, Lynn Williams wasn't particularly prolific but what she did release has since become highly collectable with both of these sides fetching heavy triple figures over the years. "It Takes Two" is a sultry hip-strutting deep funk jam with a sleaze hanging off the groove while "Don't Be Surprised" is a much darker, barbed soul affair. A string-surged ballad, entrenched in authentic emotion; it's the female equivalent of Isaac Hayes's "I Can't Go To Sleep".

Lucien's Luck - "You Should Know!" (Love That Brass unreleased edit)
The Funktified Enforcers - "Papa Got A Brand New Bag" (unreleased Hammond Organ edit)
Review: Another sought after exclusive just for Juno repress from those cheeky Americans at Killer Funk, with curiously named artist Lucien's Luck kicking off the A Side with an infectious hip hop friendly brass led work out big with the b boys. You really should know this, as they so rightly tell us, and they could be right! On the flip, the Funktified Enforcers drop what could be the best instrumental version of a James Brown million dollar seller yet. Great drum breaks doused in screaming Hammond organ in large enough amounts to keep that dancefloor on the boil with your dancing feet occupied for the duration.A funk 45 must have record !

Strike (3:57)
New You (3:25)
Review: As if their recent album Beyond The Sun wasn't quite enough new material this year, Orgone return with two more brand new jams on this 7" for Colemine. "Strike" is a firing, sweaty Union cover that's focused on nothing but an unashamed party. "New You" is a softer, more sensual boogie number that oozes soaking wet guitar licks and honey-coated vocals throughout. Powerful contemporary funk from one of the most successful and prolific troupes in existence.

Nautilus (edit)
Mardi Gras (edit)
Review: Its origin unknown here as two classic cuts from the Bob James canon get the edit treatment on a highly limited 45 - strictly for the nimble fingered DJs only. Every man and his funk appreciating dog should be familiar with both "Nautilus" and "Mardi Gras", they are the epitome of 'iconic tracks' and it's nice to see them available on 45 for the first time, edited to give an extra bit of oomph to those breakbeats. Don't sleep !

Africano
It's Your Thing
Blow Your Mind
You Are The One
Review: Holland's edit maestro, Jam Master drops the second of his own edits series, four tracks of pure booty-swinging disco! "Africano" is a funky, sax-led boogie piece accompanied by fluttering guitars, while "It's Your Thing" is slower, deeper and more sensual but nonetheless funky. Over on the flip, "Blow Your Mind" is a re-touched, old-school hip-hop tune for the heads, whereas "You Are The One" heads back into disco territories but this time a little more electronic and a little more eighties.

Review: You can just tell a bunch of record diggers are behind Africa Seven; it's only been going since the turn of the year, but already the Paris-London label is shaping up to be an important name in the world of archival afro funk. Hot on the heels of that Manu Dibango reissue, Africa Seven turn their attentions to the self-titled album from his compatriot Jo Tongo. If you liked Tongo's contribution to the Africa Seven compilation African Airways Volume 1 you should be all over this eight track album, originally issued in 1976, and still a long player oozing with afro funk style. Recorded in both French and his native Duala language and featuring production from legendary Parisian funk/disco/afro soundman Slim Pezin, it is a perfect example of 70s funk meeting afrobeat with African folk styles and flavours.

Black Gold (5:17)
Sugar Lump (6:02)
I Know What You Want (5:18)
Soweto (7:27)
20 Ans (4:20)
Review: Released in 1975, Cameroonian Tala AM's fifth album returns to the spotlight by way of African Road Trip. Dense, multi-layered funk with the emphasis placed firmly on the instrumental and vocals are used more as a rhythmic device, each composition is a fully physical adventure. Highlights include the strident piano slams on "Sugar Lump", the rich Q&A hypnosis and counter-play of melodies on "Arabica" and the much softer, reflective feels and shimmering high life guitars of "Soweto". Ageless.

Evrbdd (Shash'U PWRFNK remix) (2:53)
Evrbdd (Tagi Power remix) (2:39)
Review: Former Saian Supa Crew member Sylvere Johnson continues his musical journey as a fully-fledged soul singer under the Sly Johnson alias, aligning with the always excellent Heavenly Sweetness label for a 12" taste of his upcoming album The Mic Buddah. Johnson's voice is as powerful as ever on the lead original version of "Evrbdd" which has a real Cody ChesnuTT circa The Headphone Masterpiece vibe to it. Augmenting Johnson's original are four remixes with French beatmaker and new Future Classic signing 123Mrk opting for piano blessed underwater soul, Canadian artist Shash'U laying down some uptempo brushed funk. Mysterious Parisian producer TAGi fairly dominates proceedings though with two diverse remixes.

Review: Super rare and never-before reissued, Guiliano's 1973 album is a straight-up instrumental psychedelic funk frenzy full of fuzzy guitars, monolithic Hammond blasts and grooves that shoot you so far out of space you start to wonder how you'll ever return to reality. Pressed as a picture disc with Sandro Symeoni's iconic artwork, only 300 of these puppies have been pressed... Jump on this now.
