*** Aug 2012 Update *** Benz Bargain Bin Bossa is now included on the debut Daytoner LP, 'Sunburst Radio' (Wass 009 - Released 27th August 2011.)

'Benz Bargain Bin Bossa' was also previously released in May 2011 on limited edition 7" vinyl - Club Tikka 45 Vol 5 / MUTO 017 (Germany) 
This version is a 2010 update of a track made years ago in a session with local funk legend, DJ Benz, a pair of 1200's and his amazing 7" vinyl box. Many thanks to Helmut at Legere Recordings and Mr Confuse for putting this out on good ole wax and thanks to DJ Benz for an enjoyable evening of rifling through the vintage vinyl.

Here's what MUTO / Club Tikka / Legere Recordings said in their press release for the 7" vinyl...

"Here it is, Volume 5 in the Club Tikka 7inch series. Do you to popular demand we put Daytoner’s mighty glam funk workout of Mr. Confuse’s, "Hurricane Jane“ from his Légère Recordings download album - "Feel The Fire: The Remixes“ on the A-side of this very limited vinyl edition. Turn the single over and you will find Daytoner & DJ Benz’s much talked-about South-England lowrider bossa groove, better known as "Benz Bargain Bin Bossa“ in its full physical beauty"

Sounds From The Soul Underground draws together tracks by some of the greatest contemporary acts from all over the globe and working within the genres of soul, funk, afrobeat, latin and jazz today. With a hard to find rarity from Ray Camacho & The Tear Drops, a DJ Format remix of a Speedometer single, brand new, previously unheard material from Nick Van Gelder, Jessica Lauren Four, and The Andy Tolman Cartel as well as a smattering of recent dance floor destroyers from established Freestyle acts and like minded artists and record labels across the globe, Sounds From The Soul Underground provides an eclectic snapshot of the magnificently healthy international underground music scene. 

Whilst the variety of genres included is varied in feel and styles, all the featured artists share a common love of, and are rooted in soulful black music and typify an organic approach to modern music making. 

Many of these tracks have become essential and reliable crowd pleasers in my DJ sets, from Brighton to Barcelona, Lausanne to New York, when open minded people hear these quality grooves it's always the same result, jam packed dance floors, happy faces and weary, tired legs come closing time. Massive thanks to all the contributing artists, labels, and the clubs, DJ's, promoters and radio shows right across the planet who continue to fly the flag for underground music made with heart, soul and simply for the love of the music.

Afternoons In Stereo - Driving To Montenegro (Mr. Confuse Remix)

Infos:
www.mrconfuse.com
www.mrconfuse.com/discography/remixes/afternoons-in-stereo-driving-to-montenegro-mr-confuse-remix.htm

After a well-earned hiatus, Canada’s Afternoons In Stereo returns with an astounding EP of new music that will immensely satisfy fans old and new, embracing the sounds of modern jazz and electronic funk while driving the musical momentum forward with both fervency and focus.

On ‘Driving To Montenegro’ we hear Afternoons In Stereo continue to explore more organic instrumentation and recording while working within the parameters of digital production. Musicians jamming together in a room is what gathers at the core of the tune, where funky guitars wiggle-waggle and a warm organ underpins the whole affair before ascending alongside some sterling horn work and stellar live drums. Fans of the last two Afternoons In Stereo albums will see a logical evolution here, as the producer continues to uniquely explore the point where contemporary electronic-based music fuses with a more traditional, 70’s-influenced funk.


Finally, to close out the new EP we’re proud to have Hannover-based producer Mr Confuse. He brings his distinct production skills to reworking ‘Driving To Montenegro’. Mr Confuse has quickly established himself as a talented and in-demand producer in the funk/breaks arena. Here, he inverts the original track and wraps it around a hypnotic organ riff and new rhythm track that’s all swing and bounce. With a subtle funk, the remix moves from spare swagger and snap to a deeper, spacier groove that incorporates new instrumentation including sax and accordion. Stripping the original tune down to it’s sexy core, Mr Confuse brings a completely distinct interpretation to the track, opening it up to an alternate version that perfectly compliments the original.

Afternoons In Stereo follows up this EP with a new full-length collection of remixes in late 2012 and a brand new studio LP in winter 2013!

Renegades Of Jazz - Hooked On Swing (Daytoner Remix)

Several years after his successful debut album „Keep It Raw,“ Dusty hits home with this ecelectic 4 track EP which represents a foretaste of his second album „Mood Matters“. The Jazz&Milk label founder consistantly straddles the line between tradition and modernity and proves that an album need not simply commit itself to a genre or two; and in the process ups the ante considerably by featuring a broad spectrum of musical styles, bringing together Dusty’s favourite leanings such as Jazz, Funk, Soul, Afrobeat, Latin, percussive Beats and Deep House rhythms, while seeking a natural balance between accoustic, electronic and traditional sounds through the prism of a club-music oriented approach. 

This fusion is brilliantly demonstrated on the title track „Mood Matters“ which meshes forward-driven house beats with organic instrumentation – a big Jazz banger for the dancefloor! „Danse Macabre“ features Dusty’s live band project „Bad Jazz Troupe“ taking you on a wild trip between massive horn sections, heavy beats and deep basslines. On the B-side you’ll find the strong Afro-Funk piece „Seventy Three“ with its sweeping horns, charming Afrobeat guitars and mighty drumbeats and let’s not forget the soulful beauty of „Longing Lingers“, featuring the heavenly voice of Carla Vallet ,as well as one of Munich’s most talented producers, Bartellow. 

Catch the video for the title track „Mood Matters“. Paper drum- and tape machines are brought to life through elaborately generated stop-motion sequences which can also be found on the cover artwork - handmade and directed by the artist himself.
