NEW "7 INCH" - OUT 6/1/2022
We are happy to find our friend WILL THE FUNKBOSS that we had presented on our compilation "Boogie Slice Vol1" .
He come back with an incredible dance floor banger style of 2 slices of Electro Funk in 7 inch limited copies . 
Is one of the French rap producers we respect. From his beginnings as a DJ in 91, to his sparks in production at the end of the 90s / beginning of 00s, everything is good.
WILL THE FUNKBOSS began his career as the resident DJ of the only French club dedicated to soul and hip-hop. He began to produce remixes and hip-hop instrumentals, then he left for New York for 3 years to perfect his prods and DJ sets and returned to Lyon, pumped up.
Upon his return, he put his discoveries to good use and founded LE GANG DU LYONNAIS with his friend Raf, a group specializing in productions for French rappers and singers. They collaborate with the cream of urban artists and in 2003, they obtain a gold record for the single of 113 (from the collective Mafia K'1 Fry) "Au Summum".
Today, WILL THE FUNKBOSS produces hip-hop, soul, disco, nu-disco and house, on quality labels (Plaizir Music, Smokin Beats…). In short, he has always been in the groove. 
Just Pop It !!!!!

Plug It In

BAY. B. MoMa

A sick 10 track EP of material from Zimbabwe Legit's 2007 album House of Stone including a few instrumentals and extras, handpicked by myself for the heads. Cats will know ZL from their 1996 DJ Shadow mixed Mo Wax release 'Doin' Damage In My Native Language'. The original release dropped in 1991 on Hollywood Basic [Organized Konfusion!] and ZL are often touted as the first African hip hop act to get a US release.



This slept on project from 2007 only had a CD release and was fairly low key at the time. It is mostly produced by Raw Produce's Cadence [R.I.P.]. Little story for you. I was in Beat Street [Fulton Mall, BK] at the time of one of their massive sales. I found one of the Raw Produce EPs there for 10c a pop. I copped about 30 or 40 [!!!]. Flipped em on the bay and a few years later I was digitally accosted by Seth [Cadence] on the DWG Forum. He was like "Did you bootleg my record!!" etc etc. I explained where I got them and after a little back n forth we squashed the beef and agreed to work on something in the future.  Shortly after he passed and shortly after that I hooked up with producer DJ Quazar from New England Hip Hop Massive and released the grail which included Seth's first ever recording from 1992. And here we are now...



The features on this one are massive: Mike G from the Jungle Brothers, Mad Skillz, stic.man from Dead Prez, YZ, Prince Po, Breeze Evahflowin, Apani, Emskee and Cadence himself. Beautiful, conscious, jazz infused vibes from the motherland. Stupendous stuff!!!

The flava never ends!! And we're back with another new Pseudo's project and this one is stupid fresh. All the samples are taken from one vintage source for this, possibly their dopest album to date. The artwork, by the excellent Julian Montague (Jazz is Dead) is a pastiche [yeah, I said pastiche!] of the art on the OG label, with even the logo flipped into Herring. 

 

Cause of the crazy long post-covid lead times we've been sat on this pandora's box of flava for toooo long - but now it's time to share. I've given up on the superlatives with the Pseudos - the stuff just gets better and better. Concept, breaks, drums, art are all top notch, so please enjoy album #4 from the Pseudo/Herring collaboration. 

 

Full colour cover art.

350 copies only [50 of which are on white label]

All on black wax.

MP1 - OLD HEAT

Started in 2001 by then-Manchester-based DJ Chubby Grooves aka Pro Celebrity Golf. Only 1 release a year for the first 3 years of the label's existence culminated in 2004 with the epic cut-n-paste mix Three Sinister Syllables. Since then label owner and artist Pro Celebrity Golf has been acting in more of an A&R capacity excavating lost 90's Hip Hop material [as well as brand new DOPENESS] and releasing it for the first time on vinyl in limited quantities. 

Their website keeps you fully up to date with all Herring news and projects, go peep it to cop the latest pre-order release.
