'OTAMI' the first single from our new album "Little Dakar" is out now!

Out of the primordial chaos of pandemic and two years since their last full-length outing SUPERSAN, those sassy purveyors of World Dance of the highest calibre return with a bang. Duo’s 3rd studio album soon to be released by Boom Selectah Records promises to turn heads and perk ears of the aficionados of Afro House but also has a potential to spill out from the niche and conquer the hearts of wider audiences.
The album titled ‘Little Dakar’ is’ the labour of love of two long time collaborators from Greece, Kostas and Valantis. This time their quest for musical purity and honesty is enriched and enhanced by stirring alliances. Scattered inside the audio-tapestry of this exotic wax flower you will find the vocals from ‘the voice of Senegal’ Jefree, and enchanting strumming from the fret of George Koltsiou. While rich traditions of Senegali music are particularly evident (and reflected in the album title), ‘Little Dakar’ goes far and beyond the sounds of a steamy Dakar Disco dancefloor. Finely tuned ear is in for a treat and could easily travel the distances between Senegal, Angola, Ghana, Uganda and Mali to name but a few. But you don’t have to be an expert to fall in love with this album. The multidimensional colours of African musical heritage are easily accessible to a novice too as the references to better known House and Funk traditions could be heard loud and clear throughout the record.
What makes ‘Little Dakar’ stand out as a clear winner is the up-tempo, dancefloor-oriented approach that SUPERSAN chose to pursue on their third studio album. With ease and panache, the duo throws our way some insane musical chops, while keeping the mood Sunny and vocal hooks joyful. The spectre of moods with which SUPERSAN bombard us is impressive but be it the epic retro-tinged drive of ‘Diem Rek’ or somewhat more sombre, afro-gothic yet seductive push of ‘BLZ’, the hooks of the ‘Little Dakar’ are unmistakably sharp and are sure to act as a call to arms on any discerning dancefloor. 

• Written and produced by Panama Cardoon and Mister Kentro.

• Guitars and additional production by George Koltsiou.

A1 – Let I Go Feat. Anthony Joseph (Mr Raoul K’s version)
B1 – Kamakumba (Simbad Dub)
B2 – Kamakumba (iZem remix)

first remix was done by Mr Raoul K who is well known for his productions that mixes original African instruments with Techno and Deep House. His releases spreaded his unique sound over the world with great acclaim from Gilles Peterson, Joe Claussel and many other DJs.
His 12 min epic rework is full of psychedelic elements, hypnotic grooves and african percussions. Gilles Peterson already supported this one on his Worldwide show.

Young prodigy of good music, DJ & producer Simbad has become – while making 3 albums and more than 200 productions & remixes – one of the most demanded beatmakers in today’s electronic scene.
Simbad brings Mop Mop’s “Kamakumba” into a killer dancefloor tune full of dub elements and tight beats. The original version of “Kamakumba” has been “Today’s Top Tune” on the legendary “KCRW” radio.

French producer and DJ iZem started writing music during a 6 year-long musical adventure through Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Ireland. Now based in Lisbon, his unique hybrid sound joins the dots between cutting-edge beatmaking and post-tropical influences. His remix is a mid tempo funk pearl with refined Jazz and Hip-Hop elements.

Various Artists - Footprints EP
Format: 12" vinyl sampler
Release date: March 17, 2014
All tracks taken from the forthcoming full-length album Footprints to be released on April 28 on CD & digital.
www.jazzandmilk.com

Jazz & Milk is back with a brand new compilation series featuring previously unreleased tracks by international label artists, friends & family! The 6 track "Footprints EP" offers a small foretaste of the forthcoming full-length compilation to be released in April 2014.

Footprints starts off with the heavy Afro-Funk vibes of the Bad Jazz Troupe, remixed by Jazz & Milk label-founder Dusty. Sam Irl from Vienna takes us on a journey of raw emotion. On "Time" he fed his MPC with filthy vinyl samples, jazzy rhodes chords, deep basslines and smooth synth-arppegios - all glued together on top of a driving House beat. "Sidama de Cali" is a 50/50 blend of Ethiopian and Colombian music by Todd Simon & The Angel City of All Star Brass Band featuring strictly horns and percussion - including Quantic on the guacharaca (colombian version of the guiro) and a 'who is who' of LA's music scene.

The B-side begins rather bass-heavy. On Dusty's "Cosmic Path" gliding synths and vibrant percussion float over a foundation of deep bass and slightly off-kilter beats. Russian talent Lay-Far delivers a soulful broken beat tune - "A Good Old Holiday Groove" draws obvious influence from mid 70's jazz. The EP concludes with the legendary Munich-based formation Karl Hector & The Malcouns. "Who's Foolin' Who?" was written by JJ Whitefield (producer and guitarist for the Poets of Rhythm and the Whitefield Brothers) and reflects his affinity for sounds from across the African diaspora.

Todd Simon & The Angel City All Star Brass Band - Sidama De Cali

Artist: Youlou Mabiala
Titles: Various 
Format: Digital 
Release date: 28th April 2014

Born Gilbert Youlou in the French Congo on the 3rd of March, 1947, Youlou sang with various groups in Brazzaville, but was still a comparative newcomer when Franco heard him there at a club in 1966. Franco was in exile from his native country, the Belgian Congo, soon to be renamed Zaire, but once he could safely cross the Congo River back into Kinshasa, he invited Youlou and the bass player, Bitchou, to go with him and join his great band, OK Jazz. 

Youlou had a high, reedy voice that paired well with Franco’s lower, rougher voice, and despite being one of the youngest members of the band, from the late ‘60s into the early ‘70s Youlou became one of the most prominent. But when he and other members of OK Jazz played nzong-nzing (moonlight gigs) once too often, Franco finally lost his patience and in 1972, fired the lot.

Together with Bitchou and guitarist Mose Se Sengo 'Fan Fan', Youlou joined others who’d fallen out with Franco and formed Lovy du Zaire, soon to be followed by Somo Somo. Only one year later however, Franco asked Youlou to come back to OK Jazz. 

He returned to an even stronger TPOK Jazz and sang alongside such stars as Sam Mangwana, Josky Kiambukuta and Ntesa Dalienst. He himself became a star, and his compositions were hits around Africa. But life in Zaire was becoming difficult, particularly for immigrants from Congo-Brazzaville, so in 1977 he left Kinshasa and went home. There he co-founded Les Trois Frères, which grew, changed its name to Kamikaze Loningisa, and by the ‘80s surpassed even Les Bantous de la Capitale as Brazzaville’s premier band.

Youlou and Franco remained close. Franco produced a Kamikaze Loningisa album in 1982 and a short while later Youlou married Franco’s daughter, Hélène, and the old man began referring to his son-in-law as Prince Youlou. When Franco died in 1989, Youlou disbanded Kamikaze Loningisa and led TPOK Jazz on one of its last albums. He continued working, mainly in Paris, until 2004, when a cardiovascular stroke restricted his ability to perform.

Beginning with 18 albums, including many of his classics and with more to follow, Sterns Music is honoured to have been asked by the artist to oversee the reissue of his excellent catalogue. It is filled to the brim with classic big-band Congolese rumba and odemba-style soukous, brewed from tangy guitars, ripe horns, robust drums and blended voices topped by the tenor that always sounds like it’s coming out through a big smile.

Special thanks to Martin Sinnock a.k.a. Papa Mundele along with Brian Parson a.k.a. Zuppe Inglese, for their generosity in allowing us access to their comprehensive collections of African vinyl, tape and CD.

Exclusive giveaway track with Mop Mop's podcast: 
http://electrocaine.com/podcast/065

Super-Sonic Jazz was the first album to be released on El Saturn Records, the label run by Sun Ra and his business partner Alton Abraham. Set up in 1955, they released their first singles, including a doo-wop group The Cosmic Rays and the Arkestra's Saturn, at the beginning of 1956, and had recorded the whole of their first album by the end of the year, to be released in March 1957. El Saturn is now considered, along with Charles Mingus and Max Roach’s Debut label and Harry Partch’s Gate 5 label, "one of the very first and most active artist-owned record labels." Often pressed in editions of 75 — sometimes as few as 20 were made for specific concerts — the records would be manufactured using local black businesses, and often put together in Abraham's own home.

تغمزلي و بجفن العين
خط رموشها، وقف قلبي

ليه عصوتي ما تردي؟
بندهلك مرة و ثنين
ليه عصوتي ما تردي؟
تغمزلي و بجفن العين

[PREMIERE] James Stewart - Nolias

The original "Who", performed by Odyssey, a pseudonym of Vangelis, is that gem that you've always wished you had as a record and that you're waiting, just waiting, to remix.

This is precisely the story of this release, one of the most anticipated singles of the producer duo Alt Om & UFe. When Vlad (Alt Om) came to Robert (UFe) and they both listened to the track it was love at first sight! For UFe, that is, because Alt Om had the track for a long time on his wishlist, until he was able to find a decent copy of the 7 inch released back in '74.

They got to work right away and it wasn't long until the raw mix came out. That's when I fell in love with it. The remix simply speaks to me, makes me wanna dance, I can hear it on the beach, I can hear it in the club. It's just perfect.

The more-techno-oriented "Deep Fish Remix" suites the club scene and is intended for heavy use by DJs.
