On the heels of “The Beast b/w Road Song” 7in release, we revisit Ikebe Shakedown’s back catalog and tap renowned remixer and House producer extraordinaire Brennan Green to do a proper remix of “Tujunga” which flew off the shelves and sold out as a 7in single prior to Ikebe’s self-titled debut album release in 2011.

Look for the 12" release in late September 2013

2. Tujunga (Brennan Green’s Disco Acido Stripped)	
3. Tujunga (original)

Montreal’s Black Atlass is a voice you can't forget, charting new territory somewhere in-
between modern R&B, experimental electronic production, and classic singer/songwriter confessionals.

His debut single "Paris" was praised by music obsessives ("soulful, electronic-tinged tracks that tug at the heartstrings" - Stereogum), and high-end fashionistas alike, earning praise in Vogue and scoring Louis Vuitton ads while garnering the personal attention of everyone from Woodkid (who enlisted Black Atlass to open dates on his European tour) to Dior Homme (who invited BA to their Paris Fashion Week presentations and styled him for the front row). 

Beyond these blog props and style bonafides, however, there's substance in his music that sets Black Atlass apart from his contemporaries. It pulses all throughout the new Young Bloods EP, six tracks that more than live up to their title with knotty chords, unexpectedly muscular beats, and the ethereal vocals that tie it all together. From “Blossom’s” handclap funk and the D'Angelo worthy boom bap of "Free Angel" to the primal howl of distorted closer "Jewels," Young Bloods is the latest chapter in the story of a raw and electrifying new talent.

"The Offering" is the lead-off track on Ikebe Shakedown's much anticipated sophomore album "Stone By Stone". With their limited press 45 "The Beast b/w Road Song" selling out a few months after release and the Tujunga Remixes single with Brennan Green continuing to be a hot seller, the release of the new record could not come at a better time.

Waltel Branco - Apresenta Músicas Da Novela Assim Na Terra Como No Ceu Incluindo Três Temas Da Novela "Irmãos Coragem"

Originally released on Fermata (Brazil) in 1970, this brilliant - incredibly lengthy titled album - album contains incidental songs from three soap opera’s; ‘Assim na Terra Como No Céu’, ‘Passo dos Ventos’ and the most well known ‘Irmãos Coragem’.

Other versions of the soundtrack exist for these shows and include songs by Tim Maia, Claudette Soares and Joyce - see http://www.discogs.com/Various-Assim-Na-Terra-Como-No-C%C3%A9u/release/3964280 and http://www.discogs.com/Various-Irm%C3%A3os-Coragem/release/4687170

The album contains elements not dissimilar to Incredible Bongo Band, Nico Gomez, classic Blaxploitation OST’s and lost library gems. Originals are nigh on impossible to find and we are very proud to be able to reissue it, with replica original artwork and packaging, on Mr Bongo. 

This is the second Waltel Branco album we have released; the first was ‘Meu Balanco’, recorded in 1965, released in 1975.

Waltel Branco - Tema De Abertura

we came across this great mix by caykh recordings of the golden days of somali music. sounds from before the war, songs from before the beautiful city of mogadishu became a battle ground for 2 decades. 

"This Mix of 70's and 80's Somali sound is a rich blend of traditional Somali folk music infused with Western funk, rock and reggae and a touch of Indian, Arabic and African flavors.

There are hardly any proper releases of this soulful sound of guitar, synthesizer and drums. I spent some months finding, compiling and editing rips of TV and live recordings on old VHS tapes and radio broadcasts to cassette tapes and here is what I got. Enjoy! With love from Mogadishu."

Taken from 'Aloha Got Soul'
Out February 19th 2016 on Strut
Order: https://lnk.to/AlohaGotSoulSo

New Strut Records compilation documenting the vibrant soul, AOR, jazz funk and disco scene across Hawaii in 1979-1985. Despite great musicianship and high quality studios, many of the recordings never made it to the mainland. Compiler Roger Bong of Aloha Got Soul brings together 16 rare tracks on one album for the first time.

One of the leading bands from Hawaii's 1970s scene, Aura rose through the ranks in military clubs and similar venues. A family band consisting of eight siblings at its core, by the mid-1970s they had become the first local group to perform at the hottest disco in town, The Point After, where they remained the club’s headlining act for the next 10 years.

The Budos Band "Maelstrom" b/w "Avalanche" 45 is out now. Get it at http://shopdaptonerecords.com

Much like the infamous weather phenomenon the song is named after, MAELSTROM swirls and surges; drenching the listener in psych feedback while pulling downward, ever downward, into a sonic abyss. The bass provides the current, a pulse that pushes through the waves of feedback before the crashing storm of horns furiously hammers the listener. There is nothing pretty here, nothing safe; this is the Budos unhinged.
