After 4 years in the making finally a new chapter of RK's premier collection Let's BOOGALOO sees the light. This time legendary compiler Dean Rudland, who is responsible of dozens of wicked compilations on BGP, Kent and Blue Note, digs deep into - mythical NYC latin boogaloo producer - Bobby Marin's catalogue to bring you an explosive collection of (northern) soul, deep funk and latin jazz tunes from Spanish Harlem aka El Barrio. Bobby Marin has been one of the main contributors and a leading figure behind the latin Boogaloo movement in the mid 60s in New York producing and working close together with stars such us Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Machito, Riccardo Marrero, not to mention his own combo the legendary Latin Blues Band, recently sampled by DJ Premier as the hook to Christina Aguilera's 'Ain't No Other Man'. "

As Rudland reckons "Bobby is part of a crowd that have sometimes been overlooked because they weren't central to the Fania Records story, but the music they produced told a truer story of what was going on on the streets of New York than the internationalist world view that was propagated by that label's owner Jerry Massuci" So expect to find here the real stuff,an all killers no fillers selection of rare and impossible to find latin boogaloo singles from Bobby's vaults, including some previously unreleased tracks taken directly from master tapes such us Richie's Theme byRichie & the PS 54 Schooly. A bright sampler of the golden age of the one of the most Infectious music genre ever recorded. Compilation comes with extensive liner notes by Mr.Rudland, for instance did you know that's Bobby's older brother Richie is the responsible for producing Manny Corchado's boogaloo stormer Pow Wow? ... essential collection, play it loud!

Artist: Emma Donovan & The PutBacks
Album: Dawn
Format: LP/CD/Digital
AU Release Date: Nov 7 2014
UK Release Date: Nov 10 2014
US Release Date: Nov 11 2014

Acclaimed indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The PutBacks come together to bring you Dawn, an LP of hard hitting and heartfelt soul songs telling stories of grief, struggle and redemption. Dawn is a gritty, uniquely Australian record, simultaneously classic and contemporary. The songwriting is in turns optimistic, angry and melancholic, and on occasions bruisingly honest. The music is fluid, live and raw, recorded in one room on eight channels of analog tape and the electric connection between Emma and the band comes through in every beat.

Emma grew up singing church songs with her maternal grandparents on the North coast of New South Wales. Her first secular gigs were singing in The Donovans, a band comprised of her mother and five uncles. With her mother, Emma sang country for years, and in her youth was a fixture at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, but she always yearned for the bluesier tones of her Father’s record collection, full of American artists like Laverne Baker and Etta James and Indigenous Australian artists like No Fixed Address and Archie Roach.

Years later, after touring and recording with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music and developing as a solo artist in her own right, Emma met members of The PutBacks, and finally she found a band with the gritty blues soaked tones she had been looking for. She also found, in PutBacks bassist Mick Meagher, a co-writer and collaborator on the the soul songs she had been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. The results are well worth the wait and hopefully, only mark the beginning of this oh-so-right collaboration.

Artist: MO’HORIZONS
Title: ‘So On’
Format: 7” Vinyl



Mo' Horizons - Back To Melbourne feat. Gypsy Brown

"Break Before You Bend" is a fierce, unyielding manifesto of resilience forged in the crucible of adversity—a rap-metal anthem that champions raw authenticity over compromise, embracing fracture as the path to unbreakable strength. It's a psychedelic prog-blues roar against the grinding machinery of life, where bending to external pressures is equated with surrender, and true power lies in shattering only to reform sharper, more self-defined.

Break Before You Bend

Hot on the heels of their current album '”Showdown”, The Mighty Mocambos release a new single that shows yet another side of band's musical versatility.

For the heart rending 'Where Do We Go From Here', no other than soul legend Lee Fields takes over the vocal spot, confirming that he is one of the coolest soul cats around.


THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS with LEE FIELDS - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

PillowTalk's warm jazzed out reimagining of "If This World Were Mine" works on so many levels. Taking just a vocal outro harmony sung by Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell, they have created a future soul classic.  Complete with live instrumentation and key arrangement, these fellas just have a way of putting a new stamp on these timeless compositions. This is really something special and comes just in time for the holidays. Everyone could use some "Good Lovin'" this time of the year and this is just the tune to deliver.

I have been thinking about it a lot and I have decided that DUFFDISCO007 is the last bootleg I am going to press to wax. It's been fun and I hope you all enjoyed them but I think it's the right time to stop. (you can order the last in the series here - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/450211-01.htm)

I do however want to continue re-imagining songs and giving my interpretation of them for you to play and listen to and so i'll be giving the reworks away for free. I have set up a donations page if anyone wanted to help with covering the costs of mastering future tracks as i'd still want the best sound possible as I can't afford to be paying for it all myself.

So keep an eye out for new tracks! donate whatever you feel appropriate, of course you can still download if you can't afford to donate.

Ladies - Lee Fields (Apollo Edit)

Brisbane based part time DJ an full time music fanatic. My earliest memories are of listening to music, in particular my Mum's old records. Classics from the 60's & 70's and sade. Lots of sade...Now im into anything house. In particular the funky and disco versions. Big bands, loud sounds, sax and serine vocals. As time has shifted my love for anything deep has blossomed. I cant name all the DJ's Producers and Fanboys who have inspired and will inspire, but you know! Currently listening to minimal from detroit and chicago and loving "slow house". Depending on the day will play chill to funky club. Lots of love to all with music in their heart.

Available for Gigs and Parties.

PS also learning logic Pro, so edits coming.................
