In Anticipation of their long-awaited third album "What Comes To MInd" scheduled to drop in the fall, UK's premier funkateers The Haggis Horns present "Return of the Haggis EP", a 12" taster of what to expect on the new full length album with 3 tracks of funk, soul & boogie goodness! Release date - 31st July 2015

Leeds-based instrumental outfit The Haggis Horns first hit the music scene in 1999 and rose to prominence through their part in the seminal Keb Darge presents The New Mastersounds album on BBE Records. They have since recorded and performed with artists such as Jamiroquai, John Legend, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lou Donaldson, Martha Reeves, The Cinematic Orchestra, Morcheeba, Roots Manuva, Lily Allen, Finley Quaye and Nightmares On Wax, to name a few. Mark Ronson called the band "the best horn section in the world" and was so impressed he recuited them for his TV appearances and tours. With over a decade of activity, 2 full-length albums released on independent UK label First Word Records, variuos sold-out singles and countless worldwide gigs under their belt, The Haggis Horns have steadily gained a loyal following among soul boys, jazz brothers, funk sisters and break dancers alike.

"Return Of The Haggis EP" contains two brand new tunes from the upcoming album plus a previously unreleased remix. Side-A "I Can't Stop The Feeling" sees soulstress Lucinda Slim wax lyrical over a boogie-funk disco inspired groove. Side-B "Return Of The Haggis" is an uptempo funk instrumental with a contagious rhythm in The Haggis Horns' unmistakable style with Snowboy guesting on congas. Both tracks enlist Pete Shand from The New Mastersounds on bass. The final song on the EP is a remix of the band's very first single "Hot Damn!" featuring the powerful vocals of singer John McCalllum. This new version adds some boogie/disco spice to the original's funk flavour and is exclusive to this 12". With DJ support from Craig Charles (BBC6), DJ Lubi Jovanovic, keb Darge, "Return Of The Haggis" appears set to confirm The Haggis Horns are one of the stalwarts of the funk renaissance.



Craig Charles (BBC6) - "Blistering funk of the highest order"

Keb Darge - "Beautifully crafted, sounding like a lost Roy Ayers/Donald Byrd production, very nice"

DJ Lubi - "Hot funk, soul and boogie for the summertime! Fantastic!"

Simon Allen (The New Mastersounds) - This new Haggis Horns EP channels the uplifting disco-funk of Jamiroquai, Donald Bird, Roy Ayers, and The Average White Band. Listening in the sunshine will put a spring in your step, a glide in your stride and a smile on your face.

Snowboy - "World-class Funk from the real McCoy. Every track a future classic, and it's been an honour to contribute"

GAMUT (2001 Demo mixtape)

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.

04 Soul Scratch - Pacified

Like Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and their Aussie compatriots The Bamboos, Deep Street Soul are at the forefront of the modern funk and soul scene. Having played at Glastonbury in 2013 to a rapturous response, the band are back with the first single from their upcoming third studio album on London's Freestyle Records.

2016 sees the band return with this two track teaser - taken from the new album 'Come Alive!' - and it's clear right off the bat that the group have taken it up a level with Mighty May making her presence felt on both sides of this heavy 45.

Souls Come Alive leaps from the speakers with Monique Boggia's electric piano intro, the blistering horns kick like a donkey behind May Johnson's simply exemplary singing. The song’s catchy appeal will be lost on no one with an ear for genuine organic 21st century soul music. The flip side, Done Me Wrong, also doesn't let the pressure drop for a second.
