Alice - Belleruche,  Turntable Soul Music

Die Dramatic Funk Grooves gehen in die dritte Runde! Dieses Mal wurde noch tiefer gegraben, um noch mehr ungeahnte Schätze in Form von unveröffentlichten Rare Groove Diamanten ans Tageslicht zu befördern!
Beschränkten sich Volume 1 ausschließlich auf das britische Archiv der Themes International Music Library, Vol. 2 auf diverse britische Library Labels, so wurde nun der Radius auf Archive aus Deutschland, Frankreich, England und den USA ausgedehnt.

Die Blaxploitation ähnliche Sound-Ästhetik der 70er Jahre steht wieder im Fokus. Zwangsläufig wird das eigene Kopfkino angeregt, sich den Blockbuster selber zu kreieren: Treibende Verfolgungsjagd-Szenen, spannungsgeladene Detektiv Themen, coole Gangster in Cadillacs, etc… All das vermitteln die 20 bisher unveröffentlichten Perlen, die u. a. aus den Federn deutscher Jazzlegenden wie Dieter Reith, Manfred Schoof oder den britischen Elite Studiomusikern Keith Mansfield oder Simon Haseley (aka Simon Park) stammen.

Zahlreiche Club-Sureshots, die fetten Drum-Breaks und der schier unerschöpfliche Fundus an Sample Material lassen die Herzen von DJs und (Beat-)Produzenten schneller schlagen. Das die originalen Library Alben, von denen die Stücke entnommen wurden, zu Horrorsummen auf eBay gehandelt werden, versteht sich aufgrund der nie im Handel erhältlich gewesenen Muster-LPs von selbst…
Mögen die meisten Stücke dieses Albums weit über 30 Jahre auf ihrem Buckel haben, so klingen sie auch heute noch zeitgemäß. Angesichts der druckvollen Sounds und der reduzierten Arrangements könnte man so manche Songs als HipHop Instrumental Prototypen bezeichnen…

Dramatik und Nervenkitzel hin oder her, eines ist sicher: Die 20 Songs des Albums zerlaufen in einem Guss und machen verdammt viel Spaß!

Funkommunity - What You Give

Buy it here: http://shop.daptonerecords.com/products/lights-out-keep-coming-back

Dark, triumphant and mysterious; the new Menahan Street band 45 single "Light's Out" conjures images of hard-fighting pugilists battling it out under a bare bulb, of a matador's graceful execution of a lumbering bull, of sweat, romance and victory.  Brought in by a rollicking, almost tipsy, Hammond melody and backed by a smoky smooth guitar line, “Keep Coming Back” eventually erupts into a swanky nightlife anthem, complete with red velvet curtains and a garnished highball.

Menahan Street Band - Lights Out

Out now on 12" vinyl!
I've got a "Slow Soul Flow" mix in the works and I wanted to give you a taste... Actually it's less of a mix and more of a blended edit suite, with looped up pieces of deep soul cuts (like this one) worked into a flowing mix (with plenty of trippy effects) in Ableton Live. 
Enjoy... play it.. blog it.. share the link...

Eddie Kendricks - Intimate Friends (Shoes Slow Soul Flow Edit)

From the album Victim of Love. Out now on Dunham/Daptone Records.

Charles Bradley - Strictly Reserved For You

I'm very happy and glad to share this new one with you. It's my first edit that I'm giving to friends that isn't hip-hop, soul, or disco. I've been wanting to try a new direction (either Rock or music made in the 1960's) and hopefully you all dig it. Also, this is professionally mastered & mixed by my guy Al Jieh, which is also another first for me.

The Rolling Stones need no introduction and since they are in the middle of celebrating fifty years (!!!!!!) of being together, I think now is a good time for you to enjoy this. I took one of their lesser knows hits and gave it some punch, effects, and the usual King Most trickery

Thanks & Enjoy
-KNG MST
