GM-001 SIDE B  "MAKE IT MARLEY"-FREQNIK & WDRE

Here few "Gentle Reedit".
You may find them quite similar to the original versions, because my only goal was to make them easier for me to play during gigs, with an outro beat replacing the 
fade-out ending typical in this kind of music.
Sometimes, these edits can be quite simple to make, but other times, they can easily become a headache when the original song does not include all the elements necessary for the edited version. 
In some cases, I had to reconstruct the beat, using sounds and effect from software.
I also worked on the tempos of the old songs to make the beat more regular, but I always tried to make these changes as gentle as possible, as if the song has been recorded that way.

Coke Escovedo - I Wouldn't Change A Thing (Florent F Gentle Edit)

Original Mocambo 7inch release.
The 45 opens with a killer breakbeat that leads into an awesome rendition of the Meters standard (the title track of their second Josie album) with the themes being played in the street carnival sound of the West Indies, to “ease back” just a little on the flip side.
Both sides were remixed by Hawkeye and re-released on MPM 7".

Next up on The Reflex’s official vinyl label DISCOLIDAYS is a two tracker fully licensed from Cerrone via Because Music / Malligator featuring first time ever multi remix from the classic ‘Look For Love’ by The Reflex (the original was released on his Cerrone IV album in 1978) b/w a welcome repress of The Reflex revision of ‘Hooked On You’ (Cerrone #1 remix of all Cerrone remixes on Spotify) that was only available on a super limited 12” back in 2015.
Both remixes have been released digitally by Because / Malligator on the ‘Cerrone x The Reflex’ EP last April, and Cerrone generously granted a licence to The Reflex in order to release it officially on his label DISCOLIDAYS second release.
Cerrone loved the remixes so much that both are now integral part of his Live / DJ set and ‘Look for Love’ will be the only remix done by someone else featured on his forthcoming album ‘Cerrone by Cerrone’ which sees the disco legend revisiting his own back catalogue.
The vinyl went straight to the top of Juno Records overall charts on pre-orders alone, the day before its official release date.

"There's so much to love about Tim Maia's version of this song. His crackling falsetto navigating the old organs, the bass groove and the horns. I remember the first thing that struck me about it was the almost childlike heartache in the lyric "I wonder why she left me" repeated over and over again.

I like to do covers fairly regularly as a way of figuring out songs and trying to learn their wisdom. Tim Maia was wise af"

Dead Horse Beats - Where Is My Other Half (Tim Maia Cover)

We've tried to avoid hosting exclusives from the same artists, but sometimes the tracks that make their way into the Flux inbox are simply too enticing. This is a remix of South London's Afriquoi by Krywald & Farrer. 

For the last 6 years, Afriquoi have been drawing from diverse influences across the African continent and repackaging them with a dancefloor aesthetic. "Can I know you" is no different, resulting from a collaboration with Kakatsitsi - a group of traditional drummers, dancers and singers from the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana.

Afriquoi play on Friday for Soundcrash -

From the upcoming album Game of Death...

Wise Intelligent is one of the original founders of Conscious Hiphop, on the mantle alongside of Public Enemy, Mos Def & Lauryn Hill.  As a founding member of the classic group Poor Righteous Teachers, he landed a gold album with his debut and ended up selling 2 million plus records between 1989-1996. Add to that being named Top 50 most-slept on emcees of all-time by Complex magazine, a Top 100 Albums of All-Time placement by The Source, and a #5 most-underrated emcee award from About.com and you have the understanding of where many of today’s emcees styles come from. But more importantly were the terms upon which Wise Intelligent laid his foundation: Principle above profit, community over self.  Wise Intelligent is one of the premiere voices for Black consciousness in music today. 
 
Enter Gensu Dean.  Currently based in Austin, Texas, the analog producer has laid rock solid sonic foundations for everyone from Grammy award winner and friend David Banner to Cali-agent Planet Asia.  Add a host of Hiphop who’s whos like Large Professor, CL Smooth, Ol Dirty Bastard, Roc Marciano, Denmark Vessey, Homeboy Sandman, Diamond D, and to Shady Records signee Conway The Machine into Dean’s production credits and you’ll start to get the picture.  His sound is analog, ranging from MPC3000 to SP1200. Gensu is a one of a kind, back to basics, head nodding, beat making, smash mouth producer with as many chambers as Khufu at Cheops.
 
Now the two legends have teamed up in Atlanta to record a new album together over the past 6 months.  From there Gensu brought the record home to Austin for some preliminary mixing, then flew out to the equally legendary DITC Studios in the Bronx to mix the record with Parks.   After a quick flight back to Texas and sessions with Jimi Bowman at Klearlight studios in Dallas, the masters were complete and a new project ready for the masses: “Game of Death.”
 
Rooted in Universal Science, the album takes dead aim at mediocre, dumbed down, manufactured rap while treating Music as the weapon it is.  This is cultural warfare bridging the gap from Roxanne & Biz Markie to Jay Electronica & Erykah Badu.  Bending time & space, Gensu & Wise take listeners through history with amazingly wide-eyed clarity. With statements as straight-forward as “Your shit aint Hiphop if it’s corporate” there is no missing the message of self-determination.  This is the type of liberation that starts with your mind and is more about what you shed than what you add on. Somebody say Amen.

Game of Death

Amen

Gensu Dean & Wise Intelligent - Amen

Hot on the heels of their critically praised album "Havana '58" and with fans worldwide clamoring for more, The Bahama Soul Club has now called upon a brilliant range of producers, DJs and artists to put their own personal spin on Bahama's latest release. Sifting through the album's finest moments they worked their magic on selected tracks and rebooted them into pure rhythmic bliss: "The Havana Remixes" is a bright collection of Latin, House, Jazz, Funk, Soul & Disco with a thoroughly modern take on Dancefloor Jazz. 
Opener "Muévelo Papi" is a stirring 60s Boogaloo-hip-twist by the mighty CLUB DES BELUGAS, while Geordie mate SMOOVE from Newcastle turns “No Words” into a fusion of Jazz-house and Breakbeat. OPOLOPO pulls "Dizzy's Bounce" deeeep into jazzy House while MAESTRO&VEZZOLA and Chinchin's ZOUZOULECTRIC vs. GARDENER OF DELIGHT both having a diverse view on "Tropicana Flight", giving it a Disco-Latin-House-Funk treatment. SUONHO from Italy jams a more modern Soul-Disco-Funk on "No Words" and amps up the funk quotient on "Muévelo Papi" with a touch of Jazz and a Latin Twist. Rounding off the release is an unexpected Nu-skool Brazilika-brukbeat from POSITIVE FLOW aka Jesse Reuben Wilson on "Elegguà" and some solid Latin funky breaks from JACK&JOINTZ on the rolling "Rumba Fugaz". 

All remixes are mastered by The Uncle and very special radio-edits were made exclusively for the beautiful 180g vinyl. Containing nine tracks, this 12" looks like a neat introduction for newcomers and a nice round up for long-term Bahama Soul Club admirers. The full extended versions of all remixes will be released on CD and Digital formats.
