As Greece’s vibrant scene for funky hip hop and jazzy breakbeats continues to flourish, the Cold Busted label is there on the lookout. This time they’ve snatched up another high-quality release from the enigmatic Athens-based DJ and producer named mister T. The album Big Day features twelve rhythm-ready tracks, all full of bounce and swing, and many featuring talented vocalists to further spice up the mix. The album opens with “A True Story”, transporting a head-nodding boom-bap vibe into a smokey speakeasy jazz club from a foregone era. The diversity of mister T.’s set is shown in Big Day‘s many other highlights, including the speedy breakbeat – with scratches and horns! – of “Yo”, the cheeky nu-disco funk of “This Is Not A House Track”, and the slinky strut, whispered vocals, and gritty organ riffs of “Move Like Us”. The vocal tracks also excel … “Everybody Is Going To Be There”, featuring Lucy Lune Gillespie, and other album cuts with Katie Rose Summerfield and JoGoldie, create a classic funk feel while remaining in the contemporary ‘beats n’ breaks’ zone for modern floors. It’s prime time for mister T. … Big Day feels like a huge discovery.

Dele Sosimi Meets Prince Fatty & Nostalgia 77 'You No Fit Touch Am In Dub' 
Release Date: 29th July 2016 
Label: Wah Wah 45s 
Format: LP // Digital 
Cat No: WAHLP010


"A dub version could be a stone killer", predicted David Hutchison in his 4 star Mojo review of 'You No Fit Touch Am'. And here it is: Afrobeat icon Dele Sosimi's recent album gloriously re-imagined in dub by two production masters, Prince Fatty and Nostalgia 77.

"It was such a rush to have Prince Fatty and Nostalgia 77 work their magic on Dele's album. With Fatty bringing the spirit of 80s On-U Sound, Mikey Dread and Mad Professor, and Ben Nostalgia having mixed Dele's original LP, this was always going to be something very special." Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s)

'You No Fit Touch Am', Dele Sosimi's first full-length album in almost a decade, was released by Wah Wah 45s in May 2015. It represented where Dele is today - something of an untouchable force in the music scene that he has always been such a vital part of. The album provided a musical representation of Dele’s strong socio-political opinions, as well as delivering classic song-writing that could have come straight out of 1970s Lagos.

Born in Hackney, East London, but soon to return to his parents’ native Nigeria at the age of four, Dele Sosimi was schooled and raised in Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s shadow at the height of early 70s Afrobeat. Having been chosen by Fela to join his band at somewhat of a tender age, he was still a young man when sharing
Fela’s Glastonbury stage in 1984, and became both Musical Director for both Fela’s Egypt 80 and FemiKuti’s Positive Force. After Fela’s passing in 1997, Dele went on to concentrate on his own solo career and, with diligent patience, carved out his own Afrobeat crown. In London, where he now resides, his Afrobeat Vibration all-nighters are charged with his passion, labours and his unrelenting spirit.

Deela - Remixes Pt1

03. Deela & Blackman Akeeb Kareem - Awa Na Re

Fun with funk and soul breaks. Result of an experimentation session some years ago to work out which breaks could be shoehorned into the same track.  Goes out to anyone that used to dance to 'How Gee' by Black Machine in the early nineties...still sounding heavy and fresh.

The Spitfires are pleased to share brand new track, Tear This Place Right Down!

Taken from their recently announced album Life Worth Living it follows the like-minded polemic of its predecessor (Just Won’t) Keep Me Down! that sees the band Watford-based trio seizing their moment and building on the foundations they have steadily put in place over the past few years – self-released albums, a rabid fanbase and a reputation for their incendiary live shows.

Bathed in soulful undertones Tear This Place Right Down! arrives in these unprecedented times with young songwriter and frontman Billy Sullivan excelling in an exasparated narrative that paints the frustrations, joys and tribulations that affect communities young and old across the country. Complemented with the addition of a brass section, Tear This Place Right Down! exudes the passion of their live shows and there are plenty more moments like this…

Released on 19th June 2020 through Acid Jazz Records Life Worth Living is available to pre-order here >> https://smarturl.it/LifeWorthLiving

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin' Loud…

Initially a simple bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, within three months of the first 45 release (Galliano’s Frederic Lies Still), the label had grown rapidly, acquired premises in London’s east end and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds – jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance. Galliano, Chris Bangs, The Night Trains, The Last Poets, A Man Called Adam and Snowboy & The Latin Section were amongst the first wave of label signings and they all appeared live at groundbreaking jazz themed nights at London clubs like the WAG in Soho and Camden’s legendary Dingwalls.





By ’89, Peterson had left the label to establish his own Talking Loud imprint and Piller soon moved the operation to Denmark Street, London’s original Tin Pan Alley, into the former EMI music office. The next wave of signings included D Influence, Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies. Chart success quickly followed as the label spread its numerous tentacles around the world. The sound of the label became the name of choice for the scene that had established in its wake and by the early ’90s, Acid Jazz was booming out of a succession of speakers from Sweden to Singapore, Hamburg to Hobart, Shibuya to Sheffield and everywhere in between. International tours followed as the label expanded through the 90′s, gradually increasing their musical influences to include daisy-age hip hop, garage psyche and trip hop.





By the mid-90′s Acid Jazz had revived the careers of legends like Terry Callier, Brian Auger and Gregory Isaacs, established three subsidiaries (Focus, All Seeing Eye and Roots to cater for progressive indie, drum and bass and roots and culture respectively) and signed yet another wave of successful independent artists which included the likes of Corduroy, Mother Earth, The Humble Souls, Goldbug and a dozen more.





In 1994, the label took the plunge and opened the first ‘non-house’ based night club in London. Based on the site of the Bass Clef, a down-at-heel and eventually semi-derelict jazz club in Hoxton – perched precariously amidst the second world war bomb sites, derelict buildings and culture-free zone, the club was credited with paving the way for the whole Hoxton/Shoreditch explosion of the late nineties. Indeed, the club was rarely less than full seven nights a week hosting events from the likes of Goldie’s Metalheads, Talvin Singh, Coldcut, Ab-ashanti, Athletico and the label’s own Magic Bus. The Blue Note closed its doors at the end of the decade and Acid Jazz went back to what they do best: releasing records.

Jumping forward to 2014 and we find the label firmly ensconced in their office at the top of Brick Lane and after celebrating their 25th Anniversary the label is as vibrant and vital as ever. The current roster includes the critically acclaimed, prog folk fusions of Matt Berry, new indie hopefuls Dexters, the soul meet the Streets stylings of New Street Adventure and ex Bluetones lead singer Mark Morriss, whilst the highly acclaimed Rare Mod series has discovered and released previously unknown works by everyone from The Riot Squad featuring David Bowie to the Small Faces Steve Marriott.

In short after over a quarter of a century Acid Jazz remains one of the UK’s most important independent labels.
