two songs made for 4 hour battles on battle of the bits: the element of "earth" transitions into the element of "air". i dont like them enough on their own to justify uploading, but together i think theyre kind of nice. wow!

hollow earth: festival shrine -> processional dances -> inverted aerie -> crow court

Lovely synth burnout from the mid 80's, nice and soulful. Chopped for Carp safety! DM on Instagram or here for interest :)

DJ Kool Breez is a fixture in the Baltimore digging scene unearthing hip hop samples, drum breaks, funk, and interesting tid bits from every nook and cranny of every thrift store, antique mall, storage space, gym locker.  This was originally added to Soul Strut in 2009 and it's damn good!

What exactly is Boogie? Is it a genre, an era, a style? Colours, clothes, textures are all part of its make up. For me, Boogie is the "top shelf" music of the 80's. Anything from this era that brings along Moog synths, vocoders, DX7s, or triggered Oberheim drum sounds, is Boogie!

Brasil has a huge archive of underground dance-floor heat. Different styles of music ranging from Macumba to Samba, MPB to Pop, Electro to early Hip Hop, were all stung by this Brasilian "Boogie Bug", cleverly orchestrated by geniuses of the style; Robson Jorge, Lincoln Olivetti, Junior Mendes, Mister Sam, Sergio Sá, to name a few, were the backbone of uncountable projects by big names of Brasil´s pop and underground music scene during the 80´s.

This compilation brings together a bunch of non-obvious "compactos" (33 RPM 7" singles), most of them, promos, which never saw the light of record store shelves, but instead sat for years in the dead-vaults of radio stations or ended up in sebos, flea markets, church basements to junk yards.

I´m excited to put together this eclectic selection inspired by the finest in brasilian 80's music. Even after so many years, Brasil's  most obscure boogie gem is yet to be found on a long diggin' session thru thousands of records full of weird looking haircuts, somewhere near São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. 
This project is dedicated to all the "Boogie Heads" doing what they do best, keep searching!

In homage to Chaka Khan, The Decoders have tapped into the brilliance of her early 80's hit "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" and re-imagined it for a new generation, featuring the young, up-and-coming vocalist and songwriter Alex Isley (daughter of Ernie Isley from the Isley Brothers).  A dash of Electronic, Soul and Reggae/Dub/Dancehall vibes, this track will keep ears young and old intrigued by its lush sonic landscape, horn stabs and the buttery, soulful croons of miss Alex Isley.  Enjoy!
