TONY ALLEN

Tony Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa’s finest kit drummer and one of the continent’s most influential musicians. His playing draws on four different styles – highlife, soul/funk, jazz and traditional Nigerian drumming. A unique and mighty sound. Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard driving, horns rich, funk-infused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide.

Tony Allen’s latest release ‘Secret Agent’, is a majestic slice of hardcore roots Afrobeat, and is Allen's debut for World Circuit, his first release since he became a founder member of The Good The Bad and The Queen (alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon and Simon Tong). his recent work has included also the collaboration with Finnish maverick Jimi Tenor for Strut's Inspiration Information series. Afrobeat is currently enjoying an upsurge of interest and for fans of hip-hop, funk and jazz, Allen, holder of the Afrobeat flame, is today revered as its seminal living figure.

Next up in the Heat Rock catalog! For HR-020, Altered Tapes (Chicago) and Platurn (Bay Area) offer a double dose of Marvin from his classic blaxploitation soundtrack. Already a b-boy classic in it's original form, Altered Tapes decided to turn it up the b-boy dial even more with a flip centered around a heavy drum break for Side A. While over on Side B, Platurn offers us an extended, DJ-friendly, stemmed-out version that holds more true to Marvin's take while also adding all the flavor we wish the OG had! Both guaranteed to make you bounce.

Altered Tapes - T Turns It Up (Right On Brother Remix)

recorded live on twitch.tv/selecta720 September 4 2024

Record Bag Sessions-Recorded Live On TWITCH-September 4 2024

Selected and mixed by Tommaso Colliva at Toomi Labs
I MARC 4 - Trama Nella Metropoli
Italian soundtracks best musicians ever keepin it real with one library track that is just awesome.
RITZ ORTOLANI - Si può’ essere più bastardi dell’Ispettore Cliff
sometimes it is all just in the title and you can’t beat Ortolani’s  “Can you be more bastard than Inspector Cliff”, can you?
WHITE NOISE - Love without sound
An English band in a  pretty much all Italian set. White Noise are out of BBC radiophonic workshop where Delia Derbyshire and friends used to produce music for “Dr Who” and so forth
PIERO UMILIANI - Bus Stop
Piero Umiliani is by far one of the best Italian Maestro. He had his studio - Soundworkshop - and his own labe - Liuto - and used to release shit load of libraries and the quality is always amazing. 
TONY ESPOSITO - Eroe di Plastica
He became famous for a terrible song - you likely and luckily never heard - during the ‘80s but Italian percussionist Tony Esposito had the time to do a brilliant masterpiece album this song is taken from
RINO DE FILIPPI - Calcolatore elettronico
Rino De Filippi used to be programmer for Italian BBC - Radio Televisione Italiana - and he produced quite a few interesting libraries over the years. ARCHIE SHEPP - Song for Mozambique
Recorded in Milan in 1978 just before Archie Sheep’s appearance at Italin most important jazz festival Umbria jazz this song is out of “Sea of Faces” a brilliant album for Italian niche label Black Saint. 
HELIOCENTRICS - Distant Star
English aces Heliocentrics are always wicked and they album inspired us a lot during last album. 
WHITE FIELD BROTHERS - Safari Strut
Germany got funk, Kudos to Weissenfeldt brothers. 
BUDOS BAND - Up from the South
When we’ve first listened , we thought it was something recorded 40 years ago. 
CALIBRO 35 - Locale
This song is out of a soundtrack we did for a Spanish Italian movie “Said”. 
THE GROUP - Feed-back
This was Morricone’s wet dream. A high level noise making bunch of musicians recording what they feel like. 
MORRICONE - Placcaggio
Another Morricone’s masterpiece out of “Cat of Nine Tails” soundtrack. Hypnotic groove plus noises and effects are infectious and really work well within Dario Argento's movie context. 
ARMANDO SCIASCIA - Heaven on their Mind
Sometimes Italians do it better and Armando Sciascia was great re-doing international soundtracks. Original song is out of Jesus Christ Superstar but this version really killed it!
LESIMAN - Moto Centripeto
Paolo Renosto was one of the most important Italian avant grade composer but during his spare time he dedicated to compose some wicked library music covered under Lesion nickname.
PIERO UMILIANI - Exploration
Mililani again for a killer song out of its label Omicron releases. He was proud and independent and really knew what he was doing.
BALDAN BEMBO - Kamasutra
Sometimes Italian soundtracks are just very well made rip offs and this is just the case. Baldan Bembo doing an erotic movie called Kamasutra and really nailing it with a killer tune, he probably forgot doing this...
M.ZALLA - Produzione
Umiliani again under pseudonym 
RAIMOND SCOTT - Cindy Electronium
Astonishing Raymond Scott’s side project. With money he gained doing commercials in the ‘50s he fund this electronic synth experiment that is just so ahed of its time that is unbelievable!
PIERO UMILIANI - il Motivetto delle 10.30
"Quantity music”, this is the name Alessandrini gave to me describing library production and this is the proof. Title - translates “10.30 theme” - tells us it was really quick to do this thing and was really improvised by very talented musicians.
CALIBRO 35 - L’uomo dagli occhi di ghiaccio
We made this song between first and second album and I’m very happy with the result. It’s a cover of Peppino De Luca “L’Uomo dagli Occhi di Ghiaccio” 
BRAEN MACHINE - Flying 
Covered under psychedelic pseudonym Braen Machine
CALIBRO 35 - E nessuno si fara’ del male

Bembe 10 Year Celebration Mix

A couple weeks ago a good friend of Sweater Funk, Seth Kolski, passed away. We invited him to guest DJ with us back in the Li Po basement as well as the Knockout many times, including coming out to play with us on his last birthday. Those of us in the crew that knew him considered him to be a family member. On Sunday July 24th, 2016 we recorded this live tribute mix of some of his favorite songs, songs he put us up on back in the basement, tracks we geeked over when he guested, songs we texted back and forth about, and tracks he always used to play on his long running Sweet Power radio show (KUSP Santa Cruz, 2006-2015), etc.  We hope you enjoy this mix and remember Seth Kolski (August 23rd, 1975 - July 19th, 2016).  Hopefully we'll try to get some more of his legendary mixes posted online. We're gonna miss ya homie.
