New tune from recent Tru Thoughts Shapes comp featuring the sublime vocal talents of Kylie Auldist (The Bamboos).

Flevans - Easy Go (feat Kylie Auldist)

Hot & Cold (feat.Dionne Charles)

SMOOVE -IM A B BOY

The new vinyl single from Breakdown Brass is a monster and masterful mix of Afro‐funk meets Balkan brass, and with a dash of hip‐hop simmering in the flow. The a‐side Monmouth is a driving original with razor sharp horns and a rumbling sousaphone bassline, while the flipside is an instrumental brass‐infused cover of Dr. Dre’s Next Episode. Guaranteed to get bodies moving and to get dancefloors sweaty, consider this 45 to be fresh ammunition for your record box.

Nothing special with this one, just extended the intro break, added a couple of extra mid sections between verses and generally beefed it up a bit for the dancefloor.

Words from The Gaff on this tune:

"Borneo fits into the category of what I call "super jazz", ie: Jazz that is great for everyone and every "body". It's taken from Cal Tjader's early 60's LP; 'Several Shades Of Jade' on Verve. The back of the jacket states: "The sound and feeling of the music of the Orient combine with the freedom of American Jazz"  and I featured it on my 'Funk The World 13' mix for Fort Knox Five. This edit (really a remix, but the terminology has changed lately) is part of a new series I'll be doing called "G got the Jazz"; a result of people really yearning to hear & dance to some different & amazing sounds. There is a TONNE of awesome, potentially danceable Jazz music that can really keep the party going IF given the right treatment (drums & sub bass in this instance). Having first been used in Hip Hop by Daddy Kev for his track with Awol; "Rhythm", this edit is a sureshot winner for eclectic dj's and crowds the world over. All samples are recorded from vinyl, so, from my record collection to your laptop, ENJOY!   -  The Gaff

Spoiler alert: MC Lyte’s debut single, “I Cram to Understand U”, tells the tale of a relationship falling apart due to crack addiction. The original was quite sparse musically but this blend adds a dose of head nodding funk courtesy of Breakestra’s “Posed To Be”. We felt the hypnotic groove could *potentially* distract from Lyte’s intricate storytelling; hence the spoiler. Enjoy!
