Releases

Soundway Records present a special summer tribute double a-side 12" with two tracks from African musicians that both passed away within a couple of months of each other at the end of 2013 / start of 2014. Both tracks are perfect summer tropical DJ fodder for the dancefloor.

On the first side South African singer Shaluza Max's massive Mashkandi / house anthem from 2002 gets a first release on vinyl. This track was a huge hit in South Africa and around the world on its release. With a soaring Zulu vocal and big sound it's a fitting reminder of a very talented musician who worked as a very well respected producer, composer and arranger. He died tragically young at the age of 47 in January of 2014.

On the flip we drop a fairly unknown track from the mid 1980s from one of the biggest names in African music, Tabu Ley Rochereau. A kind of almost balearic proto-house congolese pop cut with drum machines and trademark sweet congo horn section, Hafi Deo is a beautiful track that fell into obscurity outside The Congo by perhaps being too smooth for the 'world music' crowd in the mid 80s. Tabu Ley passed away in November 2013 in his late 70s with over 250 albums and 3000 songs to his name. A true pioneer of the congolese soukous sound, he was also one of the most influential African musicians of his generation.

RNT032 - Peter Croce Edits

Premiere - Razor-N-Tape - Peter Croce - Get Up and Boogie

Peter Croce has been making some noise lately with his Rocksteady Disco party and record label, and here he brings his burgeoning rework sensibilities to RNT with a varied pack of revisions straight from Detroit! On the ecstatic uptempo face-melting tip, we have Spirit Dance and Get Up And Boogie, either of which are sure to burn down any disco. Then there’s the hard-working, grown-ass groove of Proletariat Blues, and Made In China, a beautiful slow-burner for those early evening spins or late-night comedowns.

First Listen: Peter Croce - 'Spirit Dance' (Razor-N-Tape)

Kampana delivers once again with a pair of dance floor gems that will please lovers of funk, disco and gospel alike.

On the A-side, Aroop Roy means serious business with 'Reason to Dance'. Driven by an outrageous slap bass, infectious horn stabs and a limb-shaking vocal refrain, it's no surprise that this has been THE secret weapon of his recent sets around the world.

On the flip, Detroit native @petercroce, fresh from the huge success of his Razor-N-Tape EP, comes in equally strong, with the gospel-fuelled disco cut 'Just Like Heaven'. The track builds patiently, lingering on a raw disco groove, honing in on a powerful brass section and spirit-lifting vocals, and eventually climaxing with epic strings and thunderous piano.

Nashville's funk purveyors Magic In Threes make a triumphant return to Razor-N-Tape's sub-label RNT Reserve with collection of low-strung grooves on their 'Work Tapes' EP, featuring a grooving remix by RNT mainstays FOUK.

Reimagining the track 'Chupa Cabra' as a devilishly pulsating and funky burner, FOUK showcase the distinct style that's made them synonymous with the more soulful, disco-infused side of contemporary dance music.  Pure dancefloor bliss on this one!

Grab the 'Work Tapes' EP as it's out now.

Irishman @jimmyrouge of @orangetreeeditsrishman fame joins the Razor-N-Tape team with a 2-track EP of bumping edit heat. On the A-side “So Long” flips a cheeky hook over a rubbery bass-line, with tension-building synth interludes that release into an ear worm of a vocal riff. On the flip, “Movin’” is a deep uptempo burner with piano stabs, rhythmic guitar plucks and an unstoppable groove. RNT takes it back to their OG format of a single track per side, running loud and proud…one listen to these belters and you’ll see why!
