The man like https://soundcloud.com/stevenmoove is known for the retouch magic on many records. So it was inevitable that he would grace his hand on a track taken from his https://soundcloud.com/smoove-and-turrell album, Broken Toys. 

This version of Will You be Mine was only found on the vinyl release. It’s now available to one and all exclusively on Jalapeno Funk Vol.6

JUNO EXCLUSIVE

Smoove & Turrell - Will You Be Mine (Smoove Retouch)

Parlez Vous Francais?

Bandcamp

DJ SNATCH - Parlez Vous Francais?

ously un-issued tracks that did not fit onto albums, or had been remixed but never quite found a home in the Freestyle release schedule. Lovingly compiled by Freestyle main man DJ Adrian Gibson.

Freestyle, being the eclectic and open minded record label that it is means Fresh Out The Box contains everything from deep and gritty live funk through to DJ/producer studio based music, but all drawing upon that rich seam of soul, jazz, funk, afrobeat & latin that informs so much of what Freestyle has done since the labels inception in 2003. 

First up is the Aroop Roy remix of Afro Elements 'Think'. Aroop Roy is a massive talent who has released one single already on Freestyle, 'Too Long', which will appear on his debut album (Nomadic Soul: FSRCD079) 

Adam Gibbons aka Lack of Afro gave The Fantastics cover version of The Small Faces tune such a sublime mix that we almost did not recognise it, replaying most of the instrumental parts himself, and taking it back to a gritty 1960's vibe. This is remixing of the highest order and he has turned an already big track into a raw dirty funk monster. Compare that to Sleeve's remix of the same tune which takes the track into a totally different direction, utilizing Noel McKoys' stunning vocals and making it easier for the beat friendly DJ to beat-mix.

When we mentioned to Keith Foster from Philadelphia's Big Pimp Jones that we were putting together this album he responded in 24 hours with 3 mixes of one song which he wanted to submit. We chose the Modern Mix of 'Nasty' for this but maybe we'll see the other mixes on future volumes as they could all have made the cut. A Janet Jackson tune has never sounded so raw! DJ Graham B had the same get up and go that we got from Keith with submitting two killer tracks for this compilation. The first 'Walking Sbace' is a solo effort with the b-boys in mind. Rocking beats and grooves to make the dancers go wild.

Beggar & Co main man Kenny Washington found a version of 'Rock Creek Park' in the vaults that was made in the 1980's, so not a new track as such but still Fresh Out The Box as it has never seen the light of day until now. This is top notch Jazz Funk from the UK's finest.

The original extended mix of Soul Sugar's cover version of Hammond legend Dr Lonnie Smiths' Play It Back had to find a home somewhere as it is so good. Check their debut album (Nothing But The Truth: FSRCD067) which came out at the tail end of 2009 on Freestyle. Fresh Out The Box is all your daily musical vitamins and goodness, in one easy to swallow package!

Follow https://soundcloud.com/Voodoocuts & https://soundcloud.com/SoulBrigada for more!

Voodoocuts kicks off the A-Side with Kelja, a raw 70s afro-funk bomb from the Ivory Coast. The American-funk inspired tune features a funky bassline & killer organ vibe, mingled with a dirty, raw saxophone line and James Brown influenced vocals. Voodoocuts' rework turns the track into a serious dancefloor banger!
In 'The Tortoise Loop' Voodoocuts blends an infectious groove with pounding drum breaks and hypnotic vocals. A hot afro-latin joint not to be missed!
On the flip SoulBrigada takes things to a disco tip. 'Hustleman' is a stunning afrofunk & disco gem from West Africa. The second track 'Madera' is an afro-disco gem with a compelling Cape Verdean groove. 
SoulBrigada rearranged the tracks, added drums, samples and effects building a bridge between past and present – without ever losing its original organic vibe. Two essential tunes for your record bag!

Matasuna Records pres. Afreaka! ft. Voodoocuts & SoulBrigada (MSR001)

Available on vinyl & digitally | 2nd december 2016

After releasing the first single Voodoo Jazz end of 2016 the journey of Dem Juju Poets keeps on with Barabara, the first single taken off their forthcoming album Liberated Thoughts out due early 2017 on Matasuna Records. 
David Hanke aka Renegades Of Jazz, brainchild behind Dem Juju Poets, keeps on with his distinctive Afro sound and delivers a great 45 in various styles. As the Renegades Of Jazz journey will take a step away from Afrofunk music, Dem Juju Poets will be now the main outfit for Hanke to release more Afro driven music in the future.
Barabara is a heavy piece of dancefloor Afrojazz goodness, decent horn sections, tough drums and rich percussions combined with vintage vocals. People's Republic is a organ and flute driven Afrosoul tune with a heavy brass riff, thriving percussions and flute solos galore.

"Like this a lot! Can't wait till the vinyl gets released!" DJ Maestro, V2 (Amsterdam | Netherlands)

Review: 

Next up on Katakana Edits is emerging edit wizard Gary Shepherd aka Streamer, an expat in Amsterdam who turns in a bunch of cheeky resplices here of some obscure covers and versions. From the deep, down and dirty rendition of Stevie Wonder's classic "Superstition" which gets high into the stratosphere, some spiritual African disco by way of reggae on a cover of "Lively Up Yourself" and likewise some more Jah dubwise shenanigans on the block rockin' beats of "Raggamuffin Soul".
