J J Cale (R.I.P.) - Cherry (Ole Smokey Edit)

Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Matthew Halsall - The Sun in September

A couple of months ago, we picked out our <a href="http://www.stampthewax.com/2013/08/05/top-five-fela-kuti-reworks/" target="_blank">Top Five Fela Kuti Reworks</a> to mark the 16th anniversary of his death. The overwhelming response was confirmation of the feeling that had compelled us to write the feature; that Fela's musical legacy still resonates strongly today. Another testament of this is Red, Hot & Fela, a new compilation marking the 75th anniversary of Fela's birth, containing 13 interpretations by ?uestlove, tUnE-yArDs, Spoek Mathambo, Nneka, Tony Allen and Chance The Rapper. Our standout, however, was an interpretation of 'Sorrow, Tears & Blood' by a selection of names who were initially a little less familiar: Grammy award-winning string ensemble Kronos Quartet and TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe.

Galt MacDermot - And He Will Not Come Again

Debut single with remixes coming soon on Jalapeno Records

Easy Ain't Nothin

Lee Moses - Hey Joe

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>

Another draft I "finished". It started with the piano loop from a jam I recorded in December 2016 at my friend's in Rodalquilar. I added up an additional trumpet take I didn't use for 'bristol chords'.

Vocals are taken from a CD I found at the library : "Le Chant Des Femmes Bulgares".

As I get more emotionally detached from my work, I don't really know much what to think about it. I kinda like it, though I hear a voice that says "it could be better". Sure, but in in the end, it is what it is. And I move on.
