From the liner notes of our 2-disc Ebo Taylor retrospective, Life Stories:

Ebo acknowledges the influence of US jazz rockers Blood Sweat & Tears and
– less obviously, perhaps – Deep Purple on this easy going mid-tempo
piece, written a few years before it was recorded, when Osibisa and
various ‘blaxploitation’ themes were hip. “I was trying to fuse rock and jazz together with highlife,” Ebo recalls. “This kind of music was ahead of its time – not very popular when we recorded it!”

Peace On Earth

Ebo Taylor- Peace On Earth

Kerbside Collection's debut jazz funk and rare groove LP „Mind the Curb“ (released May 2013 on Légère Recordings) gets the remix, rework and re-use treatment with a variety of re-interpretations from fellow Aussie and international friends with everything from dubby-pacific-nu disco, analogue breaks and beats to balearic Japanese nu jazz.

Brisbane beatsmith Blunted Stylus (Geoff Blunted/Jigzaw Geoff/Ex Resin Dogs) kicks off the release with a heavy low slung, analogue, jazzy, b-boy breakbeat remix of „Jelly Belly“. Another living legend of the Australian scene – Ennio Styles (Stylin' radio show/Melbourne) completely flips „Sweet like Nectar“ into an uptempo lo-fi, live disco- boogie, dancefloor shaker. Japanese Dj and producer Chikashi Nishiwaki continues his remix love affair with Aussie groups and delivers a balearic re-make of „41 Bernhard“, teaming up with some friends to create a beautiful crossover piece fusing nu jazz, bossa and breaks flavours.

Next up is another Aussie producer on the make - Billy Hoyle (Melbourne). He cooks up a smooth, jazzy, laid-back, melodic head nod hip hop rework of Red Stripe, chopping things up 'MPC/Boom Bap' style for fans of the true school, funky hip hop flavours. Renegades of Jazz hits us with the fat, b-boy breaks flavour on the remix of 'Cat Whip', complete with acid bass line, synths and congas for extra dancefloor pressure. Another legendary Brisbane Dj/MC/producer Two Dee, gives us his pacific flavoured, dubby, disco-house remix of „41 Bernhard“ – turning the rhodes into a skank rhythm sitting ontop of a shuffling disco beat - reflecting the warm, tropical, beach side atmosphere of the Australian Pacific Coast. The JNBO 'Gone Sour' rework of „Sweet Like Nectar“ is the mastermind of Henry Jenkins (bass player for college funk and soul sensations - The Cactus Channel and Karate Boogaloo/Hope Street Recordings Melbourne).

Kerbside Collection's drummer Paprika serves up two re-works. For the first one he re bumps „41 Bernhard“ into a more contemporary low slung hip hop/nu soul territory. The second remix (originally released as a bonus on the Mind the Curb disc) is a bossa re-bump of „Red Stripe“ – giving the reggae flavoured track a more swingin' jazzier sound.

A limited edition 12inch vinyl single with selected tracks from this digital release will be available in specialist shops.

Another living legend of the Australian scene – Ennio Styles (Stylin' radio show/Melbourne) completely flips 'Sweet like Nectar' into an uptempo lo-fi, live disco- boogie, dancefloor shaker complete with flute, extra keys, samples and horns (99% of the parts picked from Legere's back catalogue!). The track kicks off with a gritty live disco groove and re-appropriated guitar and bass licks from the original track, then some funky synth clav, gradually building as all the elements get added, before the soaring Brass section take you to the finish line. For fans of Cro Magnon and Todd Terje.

Ennio is a legendary tastemaker and DJ, not only in his home city and country of Melbourne/ Australia, but also worldwide – with his reputable, regular chart (back in the day) for legendary Straight No Chaser magazine, remixes on labels such as Raw Fusion, Irma, Compost and Far Out recordings, comps such as the ground breaking 'Other Worldly Fusions' CD (alongside fellow DJ and enthusiast Kano/Red Bull Music Academy), and his long running radio show on one of Australia's biggest community radio stations (3RRR) clocking up over 600 episodes – uncovering talented musicians, bedroom beatsmiths and independent releases attracting worldwide support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Mad Mats. www.soundcloud.com/enniostyles <http://www.soundcloud.com/enniostyles>

Artist: Emma Donovan & The PutBacks

UK Release Date: Nov 10 2014
US Release Date: Nov 11 2014

Acclaimed indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The PutBacks come together to bring you Dawn, an LP of hard hitting and heartfelt soul songs telling stories of grief, struggle and redemption. Dawn is a gritty, uniquely Australian record, simultaneously classic and contemporary. The songwriting is in turns optimistic, angry and melancholic, and on occasions bruisingly honest. The music is fluid, live and raw, recorded in one room on eight channels of analog tape and the electric connection between Emma and the band comes through in every beat.

Emma grew up singing church songs with her maternal grandparents on the North coast of New South Wales. Her first secular gigs were singing in The Donovans, a band comprised of her mother and five uncles. With her mother, Emma sang country for years, and in her youth was a fixture at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, but she always yearned for the bluesier tones of her Father’s record collection, full of American artists like Laverne Baker and Etta James and Indigenous Australian artists like No Fixed Address and Archie Roach.

Years later, after touring and recording with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music and developing as a solo artist in her own right, Emma met members of The PutBacks, and finally she found a band with the gritty blues soaked tones she had been looking for. She also found, in PutBacks bassist Mick Meagher, a co-writer and collaborator on the the soul songs she had been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. The results are well worth the wait and hopefully, only mark the beginning of this oh-so-right collaboration.

Nina Simone - Be That Way Sometimes (Reflex)

I wanted to give George Martin's instrumental of The Beatles' 'All My Loving' a beat. And loved the sound of the beat in Hypnotic Brass Ensemble's cover of The OutKast's 'SpottieOttieDopaliscious' (just called 'Spottie')
I cut up the beat in the chorus parts.

Join two of BBE’s most prolific artists and compilers, Mr Thing & Chris Read on a voyage into the mysterious, strange and wonderful world of Library Music, courtesy of Cavendish Music. Founded in 1937 and originally known as Boosey & Hawkes Recorded Music Library, Cavendish Music is the largest independent Library Music publisher in the UK and also represents a host of music catalogues across the globe.
During the Library Music heyday of the 60s and 70s, thousands of original instrumental tracks were produced across a broad range of genres for companies like Cavendish, who then created vinyl and tape collections, often arranged by theme or mood, for their customers in radio, television and film. Cult British TV shows such as The Sweeney and The Professionals as well as documentaries and feature films relied heavily on these catalogues, and companies like KPM, De Wolfe and Boosey & Hawkes went a long way toward defining the sound of British popular culture at the time.
Never commercially available, music created for these libraries that never made it to the promised land of TV or Radio was destined to languish in Cavendish Music’s vast London vault; only recently unearthed by a new generation of DJs and producers searching for rare gems or a perfect sample.
Mr Thing & Chris Read were first invited to examine the contents of the Cavendish Music archive in 2014 as part of WhoSampled’s ‘Samplethon’ event in which producers created new tracks against the clock using sample material mined from the catalogue. Whilst digging through box upon box of records and tapes looking for interesting sounds, the pair also discovered a host of 70s library music which has not only stood the test of time, but deserves to be heard in its original form.
From dramatic big band numbers reminiscent of Lalo Schifrin’s film scores to atmospheric proto-hip hop instrumentals produced before the genre’s existence, right through to fairly straightforward jazz and funk cuts; this amazing collection of music is sure to inspire and delight DJs and beat-makers the world over.

Out May 11, 2018 on Luaka Bop.

A leading producer and instrumentalist in Brazilian music, Alexandre Kassin has produced roughly 100 records for singers. His new album, Relax, is rooted in dreams and surrealism, yet grounded enough to reach listeners where they are. Across 11 tracks, Kassin flirts with Latin rhythms, Brazilian pop, and straight-ahead soul, using this varied sonic array to tell imagined tales of death, drug usage, politics and fate.

It's a record that speaks directly to the yin and yang of everyday life, and the uncertainty that comes with simply existing.

Lyrics:
eu te avisei
nem sempre o fácil é certo
e dessa vez
ia ficar bem feio 
mas eu tive um momento de clareza 
e não deixei
a Coisa desandar 
agindo meio que instintivamente 
nem é bom lembrar 
agora acabou tudo bem 
já passou 
foi por pouco bem na hora h 
ainda bem que 
eu te avisei, te avisei
ja passou 
você não entrou no avião
ainda bem
te avisei, te avisei


I warned you
The easy way is not always right
And this time
It’s gonna get ugly

But I had a moment of clarity
And I didn’t let 
Things go off track 

Acting half on instinct 
It’s not good to remember
But things turned out all right

Relax

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
