Mokomizik Records presents the first-ever reissue of this ultra-rare Latin-Jazz masterpiece. The Fantastic Variety in the Music of Panama - The Winsor Style and Calypso Impressions was privately released in the early 1960s by Panamanian pianist and songwriter Alonso Wilson De Briano.

Alonso described Panama as a country "with a foot in each side", referring to its unique geography that connects North and South America. The blending of Latin and English-speaking cultures had a big influence on Alonso, whose work draws on elements from West-Indian, Afro-Cuban and Panamanian folk musical styles. From the upbeat mambo rhythms of "Amigo" to the unusual combination of Calypso and Tamborera styles used in "My Brother, Too," Alonso weaves a rich musical tapestry into his arrangements. Back in 50s Panama, Alonso enjoyed relative success, with the likes of Orquesta Armando Boza and Tito Contreras performing his songs. So distinctive were his compositions that people had started referring to them by their own style - El stylito Winsor (the Winsor style), a reference to a club that Alonso performed at. Throughout his music career, Alonso worked with a number of renowned musicians, several of whom appear on the record, including Cuban-Jazz pioneer Arsenio Rodríguez's main bassist, Alfonso Joseph; and saxophonist and flutist Gene Jefferson to name a few.

Sadly, not many copies remain of Alonso's music today and the few that have surfaced over the years have naturally demanded high asking prices. This limited reissue aims to shed new light on Alonso's work and make it available for a new generation of listeners to enjoy. Great care has been taken to restore this record, using quality mastering to ensure maximum listening pleasure and retaining the original artwork with lyrics and the song descriptions written at the time. Each record comes with an insert containing restored photos and detailed biography, which features quotes from a rare interview with Alonso from the 1980s along with information gathered from his family and Alfonso Joseph, the only musician we could reach who plays on the record.

Limited to 500 copies. 180g LP with tip-on sleeve

Everyday Another Sanction feat. Chezidek

Coldcut x On-U Sound - 'Everyday Another Sanction feat. Chezidek'

Paris DJs followers should be aware by now, we're not joking, every 6th of the month is Kologbo day! Later this year on upcoming 6ths of the month we'll unveil some brand new productions recorded this summer, but until then we're proud to keep on revealing new tunes from Fela's tenor guitar player in Afrika 70 brand new album "Africa Is The Future", to be released at the end of this month.

Today we're presenting "You No Lie", a majestic Nigerian/Ghanean/French/American/German afrobeat collaboration, starring no less than Tony Allen on drums (do we really need to present Tony Allen? Fela's drummer and afrobeat rhythm master), Pat Thomas (the golden voice of Ghana, who recently released on Strut Records an essential album with the Kwishibu Area Band and an extensive compilation of his 70s/80s works) and Ayo (the Nigerian singer from the Adunni & Nefretiti band) on vocals, Ben Abarbanel-Wolff on tenor and baritone saxophone and Stu Krause on trumpet (both from Ebo Taylor's Afrobeat Academy and Poets Of Rhythm), Martin Perna on flute (from Antibalas), and Ogehne Kologbo playing keys, bass, percussion and guitars. Recorded and produced by Loik Dury (former Radio Nova programmer in the 1990s, now movies soundtracker for Cedric Klapish among others), who mixed it with Grant Phabao (the unstoppable man behind the Paris DJs sound).

You No Lie" opens the "Africa Is The Future" album that's currently being crowdfunded on the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank website. You have until the end of the month to take part in this release, there's still time left to grab a limited edition translucent green vinyl (250 copies only!) or a marvelous made in France T-shirt (3 different designs are available, the kind of high-quality clothing you'll wear again and again). Don't hesitate to share the campaign around, it's just passed over the 50% of its goal, and Kologbo needs your support now more than ever!

Alternative Fresh by Vox Populi! [Cut Chemist Club Mix]

Tropical heavyweight and Bastard Jazz signing Captain Planet give his own unique take on the track. Taking all the essential elements of the original and re-working them into something entirely new, it’s a remix that does everything a remix should whilst remaining full of surprises. Lifting the characteristic vocals and guitars of its a-side counterpart and placing them against downtempo boogaloo percussion, a warm double bass b-line, quirky whistles and subtle organs, the track opens at a deceptively laid back pace. One of the Captain’s trademark breakdowns leads to a dramatic shift of pace introducing a punchy double time drum track that is drum & bass and boogaloo in equal parts. The result is a remix which compliments the original perfectly with an infectious blend of tradition and contemporary dancefloor sensibility. USA meets London via Latin America!
