"Calavera Sol"
by Thunderball

FKX113 - "Bulletproof: B-Sides & Rarities" by Thunderball will be released worldwide on Friday September 22nd, 2017 - preview & preorder here:
https://fortknox.bandcamp.com/album/bulletproof-b-sides-and-rarities

With B-Sides as strong as any A-Side and Rarities that could have been Hits, Thunderball digs deep into the past to prove that even the hidden corners of their catalog are bulletproof. These rare gems by Steve Raskin, Sid Barcelona and Rob Myers have never seen a wide release, having coming out previously only on vinyl and/or compilations and are just now seeing the light of day!

Leading the lineup is an early, unreleased treasure “If Knowledge Is Power” featuring Akil Dasan on vocals. Known as the front man for acid jazz pioneers US3, and for his appearances on Thunderball’s “Stereo Tonic” and Fort Knox Five’s “Blowing Up the Spot,” Akil brings his deft delivery and consciousness to this hip-hop, jazz, drum’n’bass monster. The other unreleased track of the collection happens to be a recent recording. Tracked after the release of 12 Mile High, their last studio album, “Bubbles and Bossa” is a drum’n’bossa toe-tapper that puts your feet in the sand and your ear to the wind as Miss Johnna M’s vocals transport you to the bubbly side of life.

10 inch Vinyl was always the go-to format for a Thunderball single back in the day: cool, collectable, and oh so hard-to-find. Here are some of the B-sides and rarities that appear as digital files for the first time ever: “The Cobra Connection,” a rudeboy-influenced stomper with vocals by Hutchy, who toasts his way over tough beats, afro-percussion, and a stabbing horn line. “The Getaway,” a ‘70s spy film chase scene infused with hypnotic synths, soulful Hammonds and a groovin’ bass line. “Stereo Tonic (Thunderball Stereo Beats Mix)” a percussion-driven, trip-hop workout of Thunderball’s sitar-laced anthem “Stereo Tonic” that flexes on the dancefloor… And speaking of Sitars, another welcome entry highlighting the playing of Rob Myers (Thievery Corporation “Lebanese Blonde”) is “Welcome Back Cooper,” (a collaboration with psychedelic labelmates Liftoff) that fuses ‘60s psychedelia to big beats, frenetic tablas and mod horns and its B-Side the “Liftoff Mini Mix,” a retro, Summer of Love throwback, full of acid-drenched melodies and verbed-out tambourines.

One of the earliest hits for Thunderball was “Heart of the Hustler” featuring Mustafa Akbar, the “Thunderball Poor Hand Dub” is a classic, dub-inspired version of the original. “Don’t Stop,” the earliest B-side on the compilation, is taken from the very first Thunderball 12 inch vinyl, it’s a classic 1997 drum’n’bass roller filled with familiar samples, timestretched vocals, big builds and chopped up beats. “Selector featuring Hutchy” later appeared on Ambassadors of Style, but was first self-released by Thunderball alongside this rare “Drive By” version which flips the original drum’n’bass track into a quintessential ESL Music trip-hop tune with a dub bassline, Nightmares On Wax style beats and Hutchy’s patois stylings.

Closing out this impenetrable collection is “Untouchable” featuring See-I. This track was the beginning of a relationship between See-I and the members of Thunderball that lives to this day. Original Thievery Corporation front men, Rootz and Zee, set the mood with sharp shooting lyrics and teflon reggae vocals atop a relentless dub bassline that creates a lost classic.

Featuring 16 tracks which range from downtempo and trip-hop to drum’n’bass and breakbeat, this compilation brings these lost Thunderball classics together for the first time.  Like kevlar, these tracks are bulletproof, untouchable!

Blurb:
Bombstrikes Kicks off 2018 with a new signing to the label: The Fundamentals. And what a dope way to start! The "Thing" will help pick up those January blues and cold winter nights with a solid slice of summer Funk. It's no surprise Craig Charles is already on board with this funk monster. Some of you may already know The Fundamentals, who individually, as X Ray Ted and B-Side have already amassed a solid back catalogue and this is quite an edition to that. With a killer vocal and a solid breakbeat that is reminiscent of early Kenny Dope, this track effortlessly just oozes the Funk. Also included on here is a really handy instrumental/dub of the track that stands up in its own right.

Track 2 on the 'Earthly Crowd'  single, a new collaboration by Daytoner & Mr Bird, exclusively available to download from Bandcamp
---
Having previously remixed each other’s tracks, Daytoner & Mr Bird have been friends for over 10 years, albeit at a sociable distance of 800 miles between Moss in Penzance (UK) & Steve Bird in Lisbon (Portugal).

They’ve often shared ideas and talked about collaboration but projects such as Daytoner’s live band or Mr Bird’s releases & remixes for multiple labels (Ramrock, BBE, Matasuna) have always taken precedence. So, determined to put that right, they’ve swapped recordings from their own sessions over the last year, trading breaks, percussion, guitar, bass, string and synth lines remotely from their own home studios to create 2 tracks to suit funk, breaks and old school hip-hop heads alike.

Mr Bird went further and asked ‘The Audible One’ and Daisy B to provide the vocals on their version and through the twisting flows they cordially invite all to reach higher orbits. On the flip, Daytoner supplies a supercharged car-chase theme to get the funk on for B-Boys & Girls.

This 2 track single is released as a digital download exclusively on Bandcamp, on Friday 31st July 2020.
