1. ManJah - Kingston Knowing

Heavyweight Gambit, Nol Holds Barred' is the 11th compilation coming out on the Paris DJs label, and the second one digging into Funk & Soul music for the Paris DJs Soundsystem crew. A lot of tracks landed in the label's mailbox (thanks to everyone who participated!), choices had to be made, and until the last minute it was tough decisions. After many delays in adjusments and fine-tuning of this selection, this new compilations finally out, right on for Halloween 2015! The artwork depicts a stoned and scary wrestler, doesn't it? As suggested by this new, fantastic piece of visual art from French illustrator Ben Hito, the selection gathers psychedelic funk, soul for freaks, foot stomping beats, heavyweight breaks, thrilling grooves, hip hop coolness, fuzzy sounds and more...

Some of the bands/artists were already featured on Paris DJs finest selections, from compilations to mixes, reviews or remixes. Our readers and listeners should indeed start to get excited just hearing the names Connie Price and the Keystones, Breakdown Brass, Q.A.S.B., The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, STEPAK-TAKRAW, Grant Phabao, RacecaR, The Echocentrics or J. Whitefield. All people with a heavy sense of classicism in their funky productions, with sound aesthetics close to ours, whom we're so proud to feature here. The ever-exanding family from the Paris DJs universe has answered our call once again, sending a whole bunch of new, often unreleased, killer tunes, and it feels GOOD.

The "discoveries" — at least for us — are also a delight, don' let us fool you. It was hard to pick a tune between the 3 San Fernando, CA funk unit Soul Scratch sent. Great things to come from them soon for sure! East Oakland-based Soul-Hop singer Baby Jaymes does sound quite close to Michael Jackson. His cover of 50 Cent released last year on a limited 45 is a scorcher and we hope to start collaborating with him as soon as possible. It would be very interesting to hear him sing on some reggae production from Grant Phabao…. Alex Puddu is a Copenhagen-based Italian producer we had on our radar for some time now. His Soultiger project is a treat, and from the album released earlier this year was extracted for a 45 release an original composition featuring the legendary Joe Bataan on vocals. It took us some convincing, but we couldn't pass on getting this track in here. The tune is very addictive, and Mr. Bataan's voice so unique, so purely soulful! There's also Italian soundtrackish funk from La Batteria, French P-Funk band Horndogz featuring Parliament/Funkadelic/Drugs singer Clip Payne, and we close this new chapter feets in the sand, with a relaxing piece of Samba Funk from Dambô & Pauliño Nunes in Recife, Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. This music is good for you.

Advent Day 2016 #21 - DJ Snatch - LSM Exclusive Mix

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection

My love for the hiphop culture starts in 1995 were I also started to scratch and produce music. I buy soul, rare groove, reggae and jazz records to produce my music. I have about 6000 records with signs to cut and scratch. I buy and use vinyl. I'm not a collector that buys records and just listen to them one time and put them back in the box. A lot of real collectors hate me for that.


2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
 
I have a lot of singles in my collection 12" and 7", there are many album with only one or two songs that are very interesting. So I start to buy 7inches. I find a lot of dope bands that never did an album but only two or three singles.
I like to use 10“ records for scratching and my love for 7" records started in the year 2000 with the italian reggae scene. There was a lot of dancehall at that time.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

In this Set I have used some nufunk-breaks from 80 to 110bpm. I like the re-edit. For me  it's a new way to reissue the classics. There are labels like colemine, soulfire, dusty donuts, tramp, timmion and an australian label named choi records that do funk bombs. There are so many good musicians and producers now. Look at Boca45, DJWoody, all at the Dusty Donuts crew... I love them.
My new love is the modern hiphop underground like griselda rec. daupe, efficienz. I listen to good rap with hot soul samples. All this got me to research unknown funk rock and soul bands. But I like to buy new music and I search new bands like Du-rites, Orgone, Mighty Mocambos…

45/7 #47 ARTIST: TOSSES

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I produce, DJ and perform live with my band Daytoner and I've been making records for 10 years under this artist name, although I have been DJ'ing since the mid 90s and collecting records since I was a teenager. I live in the far west of the UK (in Cornwall) and spend a lot of my spare time either in my studio shed or out in the lovely Cornish countryside and coastline with my wife and kids.

2. 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format. 

It's been great to see the revival of 7" vinyl, which is a lot less back-breaking than a DJ bag of 80 12" vinyls! As a producer, the format also focusses the mind, condensing track length to less than 4 minutes, which is more than enough for most ideas anyway. The 7" also makes vinyl production affordable for DiY labels such as mine (Cabin Pressure Recordings) as they can be made relatively cheaply in short runs of 300-500 copies. 

3. One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

I thought I'd supply a varied mix to include a lot of the genres that I enjoy, along with some of my major influences, so I've included a favourite from my youth (Primal Scream's 'Loaded' that I bought back in 1990 when I was at University) and a very dusty old Chess copy of Fontella Bass' 'Rescue Me', right through to brand new releases such as my own 'Apache Street' edit. I'm also very grateful to producer and label friends such as Smoove, Aldo Vanucci, The Allergies, 45 Live and Dinked Records for supplying me with their funk-fuelled 7s.

4. Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

In the last few years I've been focussing on producing and performing with my band and we've been out and about across the UK playing at over 50 festivals and events. This Summer we'll be playing at another 6 festivals including Mostly Jazz, Wilderness, Love Summer & Beautiful Days, plus we'll be supporting Craig Charles at his Funk and Soul Club events as we have been doing regularly since 2016. Online there's lots of my music in the usual places including Soundcloud, Mixcloud, YouTube and Spotify, not forgetting record stores such as Juno, Jazzman etc

5. Top 5 all time fave records

I always find these Top 5 lists really hard as it's always changing, but right now I'd have to go for...

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Tamla 1967)
One of the few records that always gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I hear it and it often seems to be an emotional moment when playing it out, especially when everyone sings the chorus in unison. I think its the Jamerson bass line that's the goosebumps trigger, but I just also love the whole Berry Gordy, Tamla Motown hit factory story in that tiny Detroit basement, during such upheaval in US society.

Googie Rene Combo - Smokey Joe's La La (Class 1966)
I remember buying Wah Wah 45's re-release of this for 99p from a little Cornish record shop (Solo Records) and I still treasure it as it's always been a go to record for almost any DJ set. I feel it distills all the excitement and optimism of the 60s into 3 minutes of jazz piano, breaks and crowd noise.

Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band - Apache (Pride 1973)
The importance of this record in the birth of hip-hop is well documented in the movie 'Sample This'. Personally I've always loved this break and as my 'Apache Street' 7" reveals I still use it today.

Primal Scream - Loaded (Creation 1990)
In my teens I was an indie rock fan, then this release became my introduction to the wide world of dance music and it still sounds fresh nearly 30 years on.

Daytoner - Little Wonder (Wack 2009) 
Indulgent I know, but it was my very first Daytoner vinyl release (and it's got a young Stevie on it)!

Buy / Pre Order

The Rebel feat. Illspokinn - The Sculptor

During recent DJ sets I've been playing a number of quality re-rubs of classic tracks by expert editors such as Smoove, The Reflex, Suonho, Mr Bird, Monetrik and Dimitri (from Paris or should that be Stoke-on-Trent?) plus a few of my own, so I thought I'd try and compile some of the best I've found onto a mix CD. 

So here's 21 edits over 80 minutes of some of the finest records ever made (in my humble opinion) re-worked for the dance floor from the likes of Aretha Franklin,  Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, The Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Ben E KIng, Amy Winehouse, Glen Miller, Marcia Griffiths, The Marvelettes, Joe Cuba and there's even a Kylie cover too plus all the usual Daytoner bases of Rocksteady, Hip-Hop, Funk, Latin, Soul, Swing have all been covered on the journey from 90-130bpm. 

I was asked to make this mix for a friend who was in dire need of some ear fodder on his regular journey from the far west of Cornwall to his 'up country' work and my brother-in-law even intends to use it as free gift for his Cornish V-Dub Camper Van hire business!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these re-works (and please look up the producers and support their sterling efforts) and I'll hopefully be bringing some more of these sets out live to a venue near you soon.

1. Marcia Griffiths - Feel Like Jumping (Daytoner Edit)
2. Culture - This Train (Monetrik Edit)
3. Dedy Dred - Go Miller

Many thanks to Smoove, Suonho, Mr Bird & Monetrik for regularly supllying this ammunition and thanks also to Paddy for the recent brilliant Cornish 'crate-dig' which made it on to the playlist after an initial stab at a re-edit! This mix has been encoded at an average quality of 256kbps in an attempt to minimise 'rips' of the hard work of producer friends.
