Dubtronic Radio w King Most (4.2.21)

The 10th entry into the Heat Rock catalog boasts a duo of uptempo, Dancefloor-friendly remixes with slinky, upright basslines and a B-Boy flair. Altered Tapes’ (Chicago) remix of 90s Diva classic features heavy percussion and a massive breakdown, while King Most (Bay Area) flips a Disco acapella, and adds a touch of Jazz-meets-James-Brown breakbeats. Copping doubles is highly recommended!

The artwork for this series was designed by talented Mike2600 of BRLSQ, and inspired by vintage 7inch factory sleeve designs. The limited edition 45s include custom cover art and colored vinyl. (A black wax version with a different label color scheme will be available mid-August).

Altered Tapes - Heart of the Groove (Ecstatic B-Boy Remix)

Effortlessly dismantling the barriers between R&B, soul, funk, disco and jazz sounds, MF Robots present long player ‘Break The Wall’, on BBE Music. 

Astonishing musicianship, pristine production and top-tier songwriting, ‘Break The Wall’ immediately calls to mind those iconic American rhythm sections of the 70s and 80s. The music is energising, uplifting and the potent result of a highly accomplished musical partnership maturing, growing and hitting their stride together in lock-step. 

Jan Kincaid and Dawn Joseph met as members of one of the UK’s most successful Acid Jazz bands, which influenced Mark Ronson, D’Angelo, Jamiroquai, Erykah Badu and The Roots to name a few. Founding the Brand New Heavies was an important chapter for Jan, but once he and vocalist and songwriting partner Dawn began working together, the chemistry was instant and irresistible. It was time to turn the page, and soon MF Robots was born. 

“When we made our first album, we didn’t have a band as such. We basically made a lot of the record at home and called on other musicians as and when we needed them. Our sound was developing organically, and when we finally released the record to great critical acclaim, it was time to get out on the road,” says Jan. “We put together a band of likeminded young musicians, playing intimate gigs and big festivals all over Europe and beyond, growing tight as a unit, so that when it came time to think about making this, our second album, we knew we had an extra level of musicianship full of personality that could realise our vision.” 

Inviting band members Alex Montaque (keys), Naz Adamson (bass), Mark Beaney (guitar), Jack Birchwood (trumpet), Ben Treacher (sax) to improvise and contribute their own ideas over song-sketches laid out by Jan and Dawn gives ‘Break The Wall’ a special sense of offthe-cuff brilliance. Even on the polished final product you can detect a collaborative, fluid and unhurried approach to production that’s all-too rare these days. 

There’s guest performances from bassist Gail Ann Dorsey (‘The Love It Takes’, ‘Make Me Happy’) and guitarist Cory Wong ('Shine', 'Make Me Happy'), the former a top-flight session player who’s collaborated with Lenny Kravitz and David Bowie among others, the latter a member of the incredible Vulfpeck collective and an accomplished solo artist in his own right. Mixed by Clinton McCreery and mastered at The Carvery in London, the album was completed in March 2020, just before the World went into COVID19 lockdown. 

As for concept behind the project, “the name of the band, MUSIC FOR ROBOTS, is an entirely tongue in cheek one. It’s a poke at the generic nature of a lot of present day pop music, of a certain “factory” songwriting style and lack of real individuality and personality in ‘manufactured’ music. We want to create strong Soulful music with a timeless classic feel, drawing from a lot of diverse influences that makes you feel good, so maybe you can lose yourself for a little while. We want to create something that touches a feeling in people, the way that we are touched by a lot of great music and want it to still sound good in years to come.”

 In this long player, the duo’s musical mission has been both accomplished, and surpassed. The title ‘Break The Wall’ could not be more apt.

BBE Music presents Croatian Blue, the debut compilation from DJ and producer Eddy Ramich, showcasing some of the finest musicians and producers from his homeland, many of whom recorded exclusive new material especially for the project.

Founder of Kontrapunkt, one of the longest running club nights in Zagreb and host of a show on the city’s radio station ‘101’ for 18 years, Eddy Ramich has been championing great music in Croatia and beyond for three decades now. Now residing in Berlin, Ramich’s deep roots in Croatia’s music scene have enabled him to feature some of his home country’s most exciting talents on this impeccable and carefully curated selection of music.

With the help of his friend, local DJ and producer Jan Kincl, Eddy began to search for unreleased tracks by some of his favourite artists and also to request original works for the album.

Focussing on fresh creative output coming through the Croatian music scene, the album roams from laidback Balearic sounds and languid jazz, through to Chicago and Detroit influenced House and melodic techno.

“It was really exciting for me to curate this compilation for one of my favourite labels, BBE Music” says Ramich. “The moment couldn’t have been better chosen, as it was just before the COVID epidemic struck, and so the album painted a picture just before the world was changed forever. This can only be a snapshot of the current Croatian scene. I am really curious about what the future holds for the sound of Croatia. Enjoy this small glimpse into the crystal ball.”

Mr Doris & D-Funk ft MysDiggi - Cruise Control (Nightmares On Wax Vocal Mix) [Jam City]

Mr Doris and D-Funk join forces with UK rap aficionado MysDiggi to bring us hip hop of the highest order in the form of 'Cruise Control'.

With production nods to the boom bap era of the 90's and a unique fun-lovin lyrical style delivered by frontman MysDiggi this track is a happy oasis of good time vibes that sets a precedence amongst those more electronic and synthetic out there.

With remixes coming from 'Dazzla & Doris', 'Basement Freaks' and the mighty 'Nightmares On Wax' this is set to be a big release for their maiden voyage on the good ship Jam City.
______________________

Juno Records said: 'Cruise Control' is the timeless new single from beatmakers Mr Doris and D-Funk. They call upon the vital rap services of UK aficionado MysDiggi for a throwback sound that comes with a big sense of fun. The good time rhythms flow freely over the tumbling, funk-fuelled beats, while plenty of subtle electronic sounds permeate the groove for a nice modern touch. Dazzla & Doris serve up the first, more driving remix and then Nightmares On Wax offers two different versions. One is all lumpy dub and skewed chords, the other is stripped back to a heady stoner sound.
