Catchy party starter, channeling the jubilance of their early disco numbers. Rich instrumentation and bouncy percussion bolstered by a seriously knocking kick drum. Includes a sick break for the DJs (a welcome rarity nowadays).

Dynasty - Still In Love

EclecDigs: Episode 1

Notoya is the brains behind Tokyo Condition, a record label and online web shop operating from within Tokyo. In the last few years, Notoya has reissued private press records and focuses on lesser known artists from the past and modern day. He recently collaborated with french label We Want Sounds, to create a compilation highlighting artists from record label Nippon Columbia, the wonderful project - Tokyo Glow. On the show we welcome back Ryan Erik Williams, who joins Aswad in conversation with Notoya to discuss the inspirations of Tokyo Condition and the current impact of City Pop within modern day. They also highlight some of the releases from Tokyo Condition and discuss the partnership with HMV Japan.

The 13th entry from Heat Rock Records drops Fall 2022 on Black Friday! For fans of 90s / Golden Era Rap, and massive B-Boy drums. Featuring a ‘most-requested’ Altered Tapes (Chicago, IL USA) vs Killah Bees remix based heavily on sample that’s often considered a foundation of Hip-Hop culture. Includes the instrumental on the B-side for beat-juggling and blends. Cop doubles for all your wax addiction needs!

407: RADIO | EDGY BLAK TUNES | FROM PHILLY TO THE WORLD

The hiatus is over! Aswad comes out of podcast retirement (for a very good reason) as we welcome talented MC, Producer, owner & founder of Static King records from Washington D.C — J Scienide 

Together they celebrate and reflect on the key milestone — 50 years of Hip Hop and discuss J Scienide’s discography, recent releases and people he’s worked with including D-Styles (Producer/DJ, Beat Junkies) and Body Bag Ben (Producer).
As you can expect there is a lot to digest here, so much we decided for this special occasion that this will be released as a two-part mini series.

In this first episode — they discuss the humble beginnings of rap and take a nostalgia trip through their childhood memories and reflect what it means to them in modern day. The important connections tied to Hip Hop - the funk, soul, jazz music which became before it.

No Studio Funk show is complete with a great track list — you can expect to hear many genres on this episode, as we expand from notable Hip Hop favourites and low-key gems through to artists which impacted their lives forever…

J Scienide - Part 1

Third remix of the forthcoming EP by Antares Flare.
Remixed by Italian producer XL Regular.

Mastered by Emilio Gatti at Attila Studio, Arezzo.
