COOL MILLION feat D TRAIN
Stronger (white vinyl 7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: SSCR 2024003WHITE. Rel: 25 Jun 24
Review: After the March drop of this record caused quite the stir, the label is now back with a limited edition white vinyl version to make it all the more vital an addition to your shelves. Cool Million is a Danish and German duo and their track 'Stronger' is the track and the title of their sixth full-length album from 2019. It is a positive and upbeat anthem that is sure to reign in the innocent bystanders to party. The Dub is a super-cool alternative version that reminds of us classic roller-skating funk track from Midnight Star or Kool & The Gang. A classy party starter, for sure.

Why You Buggin' (7")
Cat: BOMBSVN 001. Rel: 23 Jan 20
Review: More all-action fare from the popular Bomb Strikes label, an imprint that has gradually moved away from the party-hearty mash-ups and bootleg remixes on which it made its name. This tidy seven-inch single is notable for the presence of Bristol crew The Allergies. On the A-side they guest on Andy Cooper's "Why You Buggin", a bustling, funk-fuelled fusion of hip-hop and rock that sounds like a wholehearted tribute to the Beastie Boys circa "Licensed To Ill". Over on the flip the West Country party-starters turn remixers, delivering a head nodding, toe-tapping take on Dr Syntax and Pete Canon's hip-hop/funk/ska fusion number "Downtime". Like the A-side, it sounds like a bona fide dancefloor bomb.

Review: Dancefloor Stompers was formed in Sardinia in 2009. They are a talented group of musicians who have a big love of mod jazz, black music roots and Italian soundtracks and library music classics from the 50s through to the 80s and all of that influences this new EP, Phuture Soul. Recorded and mixed at Solid Twin Studio between May 2021 and January 2022, it kick off with the title track which pairs rock guitars with funky basslines. 'Catch This Train' has a more playful pop-rock feel with big horns, 'Glass Tears' is a smoother groove and 'Not In My Name' closes on a more downbeat note.

Review: Rock A Shaka is hella busy right now and continues to drop mad heat on a very busy schedule. It is now Dave & Earnest who step up with their unique take on reggae. This one is coloured by disco and boogie with dazzling results. 'Moving On' has big horns over soul-stepping beats and retro 80s drum sounds. The vocals drip with sexiness and a killer bassline finishes in style. The version dials it back to a fleshy dub with the tooting horns left in to get your juices going.

Review: P-Vine Japan does great work once more here by bringing back into print some hugely sought-after sounds from the blues and r&b world. The first release in their new series revives Larry Davis' 1969 Kent Records single, which was originally written by Sherwood Fleming. The A-side, 'For 5 Long Years' delivers a gritty mid-tempo funk-blues groove while the B-side, 'I've Been Hurt So Many Times' (a classic subject for a blues tune) channels Willie Cobbs' signature sound. These will be familiar to anyone who has danced at a Northern Soul event and cannot be slept on.

Review: Daytoner have got a new album on the way and we can't wait, but before that the group serve up this sizzling new funk single. This crew are well experienced and have travelled far and wide, taking their funk and soul sound to the UK's greatest stages over the last five years. The album was written in isolation during the lockdown and this new pair of singles is a great taster - 'Time' and 'Keep It Moving' both feature lead singer Lucy's fresh vocals as she muses on the importance of time spent with family and friends. The funk-fuelled brass and breaks keep both tunes vibing.

Review: As far as the Juno Records review team care, the DC based Peoples Potential Unlimited have been on a run of 100% boogie heaters roughly since their inception in 2008. The latest transmission from Andrew Morgan's label sees a 12" presentation of disco funk holy grails from Milwaukee act Dazzle ahead of a PPU released long player Made In The Shade. Not to be confused with the Patch Adams and Leeroy Burgess fronted group of the same name, Dazzle was the work of Donald D. Smith and this 12" presents three tracks originally recorded in 1981. "Explain" is the outright jam here, heavily stacked with thick analogue leads and brisk funk riffs. All hail PPU!

Review: The Four Flies 45s series opens a new chapter with a collection of super-groovy themes from the finest Italian soundtracks. They are being pressed up to 45rpm for the first time and the opening salvo is from Gianni Proia's Mondo Di Notte Oggi, a 1976 Mondo movie. Gianni Oddi and Gianni Dell'Orso scored it having worked in a wide range of genres and on many soundtracks before this one. 'Soul Meeting' is summery soul and upbeat Latin grooves with a big piano phrase powering it along. 'Teenager' is more deep cut and elegant with its big horns and strings.

Trip Paris To Sao Paulo (heavyweight vinyl LP)
Cat: MRGR 0003. Rel: 13 Sep 22
Review: Springbok Records main man Stephane Deschezeaux specialises in good-time grooves, with many of his occasional vinyl outings drawing on a wide-range of complimentary musical influences and a love of utilising familiar vocal snippets or musical samples. Trip Paris To Sao Paolo sticks to this funky, ear-pleasing formula, with Deschezeaux and a string of guests dancing between flash-fried, Clavinet-and-Moog-sporting hip-hop-funk ('Gran Torino'), P-funk flavoured nu-disco goodness (the Sugarhill Gang cover-with-a-twist that is 'Hot & Sweaty (The Beat Don't Stop Mix)'), post-boogie/'80s soul slickness ('Time For Joy (The Bankerbeats Remix)') and Universal Robot Band-esque early '80s disco (the joyous 'Mystery (TFJ Remix)'. As musical road trips go, it's a treat.

Review: The sublime 'Gurami' is the first single from the forthcoming Origin of Forms album. It makes a debut long player from the Moscow funk band The Diasonics and it is a richly layered and widely cinematic affair with post-Soviet era psychedelia, deep funk, and instrumental hip-hop colouring the grooves, But ahead of this comes the equally deep-cut 'Gurami' on limited edition 45rpm. It has rolling drums and a nice psyched-out wah wah guitar and meandering leads that truly mesmerise. The go-slow 'Gradients' is falloff intrigue and mystery as it unfolds in thoughtful and alluring fashion.

Review: From their only album The Agony & Extasy, Philly troupe The Diddys - led by Hammond doyen Charles England - took soul to some far-out places in 1977. "Intergalactic Love Song" is a fine example of their star-slurping skills. The original has a much more prominent vocal position, leaving the outer-planetary textures to form a clear-but-subtle bed while the alternate version has more of a persistent groove where the organs get a chance to really take off.

Review: Originally composed by Don Blackman and recorded by Weldon Irvine in 1975, this rare 70s groove has been reimagined in a brand-new recording that importantly stays true to the essence of the original. The updated version features Natalie Duncan alongside DOS on vocals and the music is arranged by Bluey and showcases a talented lineup of musicians from Incognito who bring a fresh yet faithful twist. It blends soulful instrumentation with a contemporary touch that is sure to connect with all new audiences.

Review: Diplomats of Soul is the duo of Mike Allin and Ralph Tee and they are celebrated not just for their funk and soul expertise but also for releasing a steady stream of soulful gems since 2006 through their Expansions label.Continuing their solo project, they deliver a stunning cover of Barbara St. Clair's rare groove classic 'Teacherman' here. Distinct from their earlier hits, 'Teacherman' continues to redefine their promise by offering two lush 70 soul tracks: one vocal and one instrumental, continuing their tradition of soul innovation with a contemporary and groove-heavy edge.

Re Funk Head Part 2 (12")

Review: The Samosa label returns with Part 2 of the Re-Funk Head project, once again showcasing top-tier disco grooves. Opening up is Dirty Elements & Drunk Drivers feat. E.M.E with 'Disco Ball,' a sassy, high-energy track featuring a standout brass ensemble, while track 2, 'Ain't No Doubt About It' by Moplen, entices with disco beats, bongo rhythms, and a masterful bassline. Jazzyfunk's 'Sexy Thing' continues the disco theme with soaring strings and a punchy bassline, perfect for any dance floor moment. Closing the EP is DeGama's 'Feel The Groove,' a powerful tune blending house vibes with blues-inspired guitar and sultry saxophone. Re-Funk Head Part 2 is essential for serious funk fans.

In Loving Memory (hand-numbered 7" limited to 250 copies)
Cat: FNR 063. Rel: 10 Nov 16
Review: Serial alias addict, Kris Holmes returns with a double side of split personality: The Disciples is a rough, bluesy layered piece of slo-mo surf rock where the drums only just keep up and the organs provide heavy soul salvation. "He Spoke" shows Kris on much more of an African inspired trip. Similarly hefty organs power the main groove but there's more uplift in the riff and instrumentation. Insatiable.

Review: Australian cutmaster DJ Bacon is on a relentless mission to bring you mash-ups, edits and flips of all shapes and sizes, and he's at it once again on his self-titled label with a reissue of his deadly Sweatin' On The Dancefloor 7". Cutting up all manner of classic funk, disco rap and more besides, the trainspotters out there could have a lot of fun dissecting every sample and cut that flicks in and out of the mix on both these tracks, but that turntable trickery doesn't come at the expense of the groove. These tracks will absolutely turn a party out given half a chance, and given how much the first pressing fetches, you won't want to delay on nabbing this one while it's around.

Review: Australian cutmaster DJ Bacon is a rather brilliant studio wizard who has mixed and mashed up all manner of disparate sounds over the years, from Pink Floyd to Beastie boys. Here he goes again with his own self released 7" series. Up first this time out is 'I Know You Got De La' which bangs together hip hop and funk into a lively bit of dance floor dynamite with raw 60s vocal yelps and more smooth groves and fluid bars. 'Let's Play House With Humpty' is an old school jam with swaggering grooves and overflowing with big samples. Part of the fun is unpicking them while your ass gets down.

Review: Brisbane's DJ Bacon is back on the case with more of that funky fresh, party starting hip-hop magic that has made him a household name in Australia for some 30 years. On the A side, he serves up a rough and ready remix of The Pharcyde's 'Soul Flower' which goes in heavy on the JB breaks and keeps the vibe strictly old-skool. On the B-side, he takes a new run at his 'Universal B Boy Megamix' by cutting up iconic breaks and creating a proper patchwork assault to get the floor going buckwild.

Review: Only a week after his last outing on this label, DJ DSK is making another return with more of his masterful edits. Volume 6 finds him open up with 'Remind Me,' which is a soulful and jazzy jam, with tumbling drums and nice wet claps. The vocal is the real winner, though, as it tugs at those heart strings. Flip it over and you'll find the much bigger anymore bumping 'Knee Deep' which has myriad recognisable samples all reworked into a party ready hip hop funk joint for the b-boys and girls out there.

Review: Dusty Donuts is a mighty fine label that deals only in the most authentic hip hop beats. They have been a while due to going son in the world from pandemics to warfare but now make an essential return with Balkan phenom DJ Goce. It's inspired by the neo-soul of the late 90s and eery 90s, with crisp boom-bap drums that chelate great Dilla would be proud of. The A-side is full of catchy loops and yearning vocals while the flip rolls a little deeper with 'All These Problems' also having snappy but dusty MPC drums and a nagging vocal that you never want to end.

Review: Legendary DJ and producer DJ Jazzy Jeff might be best known for his work in the world of hip hip but here he dives foot first into some fresh house grooves. 'Evil' is the sort of steamy, funk laced gem that you might expect to come from the studio one certain Moodymann. The lush guitar licks, noodling keys and well placed vocal samples all ooze authenticity and class. They meld the old with the new into something simple irresistible. A fine instrumental pairs things back even further for more straight up dance floor thrills.

Review: TakeFingz is a new label out of Brisbane that won plenty of fans with its first offering and now comes on strong with a second bristling brew of beats. Much like Toby Gee who was behind the first 45rpm, Deejay Katch is a member of the Forty Five Kings Collective and has been laying down beats ever since the 80s while also being a key part of Resin Dogs, a famed Aussie hip-hop crew, since 1996. He opens with the unmistakable vocals Rakim for and centre on the -aide over timeless boom bop, them reworks a Gwen McRae break from '90% of Me Is You' with classic soul and hip-hop production on the flip. Two more fine fusions.

Review: Japanese talent DJ Koco aka Shimokita is a hardcore 45rpm devotee. They are his chosen tools as a beat-juggling DJ who can do logic-defying things with his grooves. He is a regal on Bloom and already dropped serious heat in January with 'World Famous'. This time he is back with a fresh take on 'Made In New York' which is a 1985 classic by renowned Brazilian funk and jazz pianist Tania Maria. He brings his signature hip-hop flair and creativity with his trusted crew, 45trio, and enlists the dynamic saxophonist King TJ (DA-Dee-MiX) to elevate things further.

Review: Exceedingly rare and sought after export business right here. Japanese crate digger and beat shredder Muro is known for unearthing the most obscure samples and loops and recreating a narrative that you usually only hear in horror films or nightmares. 1999's horn-tickling "Jam" is no exception and will find favour amongst Dilla and Flying Lotus fans alike. J Rocc's edit is even crazier as it ups the tempo and adds a whole load of glitches along the way. Vibrant but viscous.

Review: Nu Mark's been teasing his fans since May, releasing selected cuts from his new album Broken Sunlight in coloured vinyl 10" instalments. With the attention reaching fever pitch, he's unleashed one of the biggest cuts on the LP. Hooking up with the dollar-hungry Aloe Blacc, it's a horn-heaving slice of hip-hop funk that pushes all the right buttons. "Tough Break" is a double-time deal sealer. With more horns and a frenetic rhythm, it's Nu Mark at his very best. Essential.

Review: DJ Nu-Mark brings the skills once again with his latest 7". The acclaimed DJ and producer mixes up funk, dance and hip hop here and with Lonely Boy offers a fresh new take on a well known Deee-Lite classic. The trombone form the original is well suited to ape the original whole; the vocals remain intact as broad brass sounds and big fat drums all add weight and power. Flip it over and you will find a new version of another stone cold great - Donell Jones' 'U Know What's Up'. Here it becomes a shiny synth pop cover with vocoder vocals.

Too Slow To Disco Edits 12 (limited silver vinyl 10")
Cat: TSTDEDITS 012. Rel: 25 Nov 22
Review: Throughout his career, DJ S has delivered a steady stream of slow-motion re-edits, so it's no surprise to find the former Chopshop contributor pop up on Too Slow To Disco's popular edit series. The four reworks on show are naturally tasteful, classily produced, largely free of the kind of quantized extra beats employed by lesser-quality editors. The Greek scalpel fiend starts by offering his version of a much-loved downtempo disco classic, wisely extending the original version's instrumental passages before introducing the lead vocal ('Groovin'), before dipping the tempo further on the seductive is-it-soul-or-is-it-disco brilliance of 'Sweet Love'. 'Back Again' is a languid chunk of sun-splashed slow motion disco rich in jazzy guitar licks and meandering sax solos, while 'U' is a glassy-eyed, loved-up treat.

Review: Hot on the heels of the release of his Black Colors 2 Volume 2 albums of funk, soul and jazz-fired jams, one-man production line DJ Tron offers up two more slabs of party-starting funk on a highly limited "45". First up is 'Sole Power', an extra-percussive deep funk treat rich in flanged guitar licks, booming bass, rising horns and suitably sizable drum-breaks. As usual, there are quite a few extended groove sections to please DJs who like to double-up. Over on the flip, he ups the tempo and the squally funk-rock guitars on 'Chevy Chase', a cut that's far more entertaining and excited than the sometime 1980s funny man. It's even sweatier and heavier than the A-side, and that's saying something.

If that sets your bells jingling (sorry), we'd suggest diving straight into A-side 'Merry Christmas', a veritable yuletide feast of boisterous drum-breaks, gravelly guitar riffs, rising horns and sleigh bells, all topped off by a few choice samples and another superb lead vocal from Luana. The pair continue on a similar tip on flipside 'Santa's Coming', a funk-breaks masterclass dedicated to the jolly, chimney-bothering present delivery guy.

Review: We'll never have too much of Ed Upton's slick electro fare, and he's on especially funky form on this new DMX Krew drop for Magnetron. 'Seriously' is a boogie-informed joint with all the sweet and sexy synth licks you would expect, piling the squelchy Moog lines on heavy and aiming squarely at the hips. 'Weird One' nudges some of those boogie motifs towards a curious amalgam somewhere between braindance and synth-pop - that might sound like a funny crossover but it sounds wholly natural. 'Shut Up' is more explicitly leaning towards a freaky proto house sound, while 'Back Again' switches stance for some sneaky electro fare. Quite simply, every track is a masterclass, but then what else would you expect from the mighty DMX?

Review: Aaron aka Double A really serves up a double a-sided banger here for the Friday's Funky 45 label. It is a block-rocking beat with plenty of old-school samples and raw funk drumming that kick off on 'Old Skool Bounce'. The vocals are visceral call-and responses with a classic lead flute sound bring the joy. On the flip, things start with a super cool and breezy beat before a big vocal erupts and the prickly funk drums and rim shots elevate the track. It's another classic vocal top line that finishes it in style.

Review: Mountain Records are a new funk label, pushing 45's cut with new funk tinged with a modern production sheen. Two label mainstays decorate each side of this one: for the A, Double A asks 'You Feel Alright?' We certainly do, not least thanks to the artist's heavy locking down of sampled big boom drums, funky grooves and evil laughter. The Gaff meanwhile offers up a breakbeat banger to the altar, letting up on bass for a weird, flauting finish. 7"s collectors, watch out.

Review: Having already delivered a multi-artist EP of Reggae Dynamite earlier in the year, nostalgia-fired producer Neil Anderson serves up a speedy sequel on his popular Original Gravity label. Toaster Melbourne Douglas kicks things off with the ska-flavoured cheeriness of 'Rudy Skanking on the Moon', before returning later in the EP with slowed-down, rocksteady style reggae fuzziness of 'Rude Boy Don't Fight'. Elsewhere, label regulars (sorry) the Regulators deliver a high-tempo, Hammond-heavy instrumental workout (the excellent 'Caymanas Park Rocket'), while King Deadly layers languid organ solos over a more dub-wise groove on EP standout 'Joshua a Mek Riddim Run'.

Review: The Original Gravity label is at it once again, combing through hidden pockets to serve up the finest nuggets from bygone days. The label is on a shuffling reggae tip this time around, with their latest single headed up by Lonnoya Drake singing a snappy version of the sentimental soul classic, 'Only You'. It's infectious dancefloor magic with heart to match its heat, setting up nicely for the heads-down get-down of 'Shake Up The Dance' by Woodfield Road All Stars. This sharp-shooting outfit lay down a killer instrumental with a nagging skank and some heavy-vibing organ lines sure to get the dance juiced up good and proper.

Challenger (brown vinyl 7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: BS 022BROWN. Rel: 13 Sep 21
Review: Strap in for this one because the opener 'Challenger' is a high speed, highly funk bit of broken beat brilliance from The Drawbars. The newly emergent band from Hamburg have a sound defined by their fast jazz drums and the Hammond B3 organ. They call themselves gentlemen in the wrong decade because of their love for a certain jazz sound but that's fine by us. On the flipside, 'J's Pocket' is a more downbeat, mellifluous tune with noodling jazz keys and deeper drums that sink you in deep. A fine yin and yang for sure.

Review: Milo MacMahon and Raul Indipwo aka Duo Ouro Negro, arrived in Portugal in 1959 and built an international music career over three decades. Singing in Portuguese, Angolan languages, French and more, they also covered Latin American and North American songs and connected with the Civil Rights movement during their 1969 U.S. tour. This experience shaped their 1972 landmark album, Blackground, which was a powerful cultural statement influenced by Black Power, jazz and African independence movements. In 1981, Blackground was reworked with new arrangements including the instrumental 'Danca do Robalinho' which came in two parts. This jazz-funk masterpiece now gets reissued for the first time and is a must-buy.

Review: The black-owned Austin Boogie Crew label has released some of the finest revivalist boogie, synth-disco, '80s soul and electronic funk of the last few years. Here they begin 2022 in fine fashion too via a surprise new single from boogie-era originals Dynasty, a Los Angeles-based label who put out a string of classic cuts on SOLAR during the 1980s. The two tracks here, which were both recorded in 2021, are vintage-sounding boogie-soul gems, with vocoder-sporting A-side 'I Can Tell' sounding like Dynasty making a Chromeo record (which is rather meta, given their 1980s records influenced Chromeo's trademark sound). 'Still In Love', all clipped guitar riffs, fluid boogie bass, sweet synth-strings and glassy-eyed vocals, is arguably even better.

Review: Like a veteran striker in his final season, GAMM has really captured some top form on late and now drops a fire premiere from Chicago's Emmaculate and legendary Basement Boys producer DJ Spen. Opener 'Step Into A Black Whole' is a genre-hopping 11-minute journey that moves from deep house to a hip-hop breakdown featuring KRS-One before morphing into a jazzy Afrobeat stomper. First heard by GAMM contributor Coflo during a wild house set, the track blew the roof off and always will. On the B-side, 'Boogie On Disco Woman' delivers a gritty funk, disco and soul rework with raw drums, clavinets and soulful vocals. Two standouts.
