Mandela Mandela-Kenny Dope & Raheem DeVaughn

"Celebrating a year of successful weekly edit campaigns, Parisian discophile Young Pulse legitimises his dealings with GAMM. This is the first of a series of collections and every track is a dancefloor-tweaked gem. Average White Band's "Work To Do" gets a slick groove extension, a very young Michael Jackson gets a cheeky arrangement polish and added beat muscle on "I Wanna Be Where You Are" and Minnie Ripperton's "Baby, This Love I Have" gets a complete strip-and-rebuild. We conclude with Leon Ware's "Why I Came To California" where Pulse ensures the latent funk in the bass and groove are brought fully for the fore. Stunning."

A1. Work 2 Do

Mr Thing aka Mark Bowles is a member of the original Scratch Pervert crew who, along with Tony, Joel and Paul, won the World DMC team championships in 1999. 

Mr Thing since went on to form the Extended Players with Harry Love and became an acclaimed producer in his own right, working with most of the UK's best MCs. From the early years, Mr Thing has always been as into collecting and playing records as he is into making beats.



GIVING UP

For 15 years Wah Wah 45s have been releasing music with a soulful feel, regardless of sub-genre, many of which have no doubt ended up as staples of your local underground party on a Saturday night. That’s right, Wah Wah don’t just do acoustic soul, brass band funk, dub reggae and foot friendly jazz,  we’ve been dipping our toes in the world of dance floor electronica for sometime and following on from the success of last year’s compilation, we thought it was about time we brought you the second instalment of “Wah Friends Electric”.

Volume 2 continues where it predecessor left off, covering the club friendly end of the Wah Wah back catalogue, from early deep house offerings from Aaron Jerome (the man behind the Sbtrkt mask) and blue eyed disco from Talc’s night club dwelling alter egoes Man / Boy featuring Girl, to more recent outings from Lea Lea, Paper Tiger and Scrimshire. Add to that previously unreleased, and exclusive to this compilation, remixes from The Reflex and Noisses, as well as other homegrown greats such as Stubborn Heart and Debian Blak, not to mention Japanese dons Goth-Trad and Anchorsong, and you’ve got one serious second volume of dance music from the Wah Wah vaults.

The Gene Dudley Group - The Hilo Bay Halfway (Scrimshire's Hilo Bay All The Way Remix)

This limited 7” is a teaser from the self-titled upcoming second album from Brooklyn-based Ikebe Shakedown. Named after a favorite Nigerian boogie tune (pronounced “ee-KAY-bay”), the band plays with elements of cinematic soul, deep Disco, Afro-funk, and Boogaloo in all the right ways.

Yes, The Scour has hit its first century already. Thanks to Spinforth and the crew for showing The Allergies and DJ Moneyshot love on the blog since it began. Here's to another oner!

Fat Harry's blurb "All-star funky legends The Allergies generously take the time to whip out a wild cat for their Scour 100 entry. This cat isn’t just wild, it’s livid! My clothes are shredded after it chased me through town. If it wasn’t for the checkout lady asking it if it had ‘a Clubcard or no?’ my liver would have been clawed out right there on Tescos floor. They can smell fear apparently (Tescos checkout ladies and cats), although in this case it might be that my underwear was made of albino jaguar whiskers. Smell the fear, taste the funk!"

Gather Around (100th Scour VIP)

Why Does My Man Got To Be So Tough
words and music - Nick Pride

Why does my man got to be so tough
I give my lovin’ but it’s never enough
I give my lovin’ but he throws it away
Now why does my man got to be this way
Why does my man got to be so mean
He’s got a temper like gasoline
He’s got a temper like rocket fuel
Now why does my man got to be so cruel
I’m such a mess about it
I shouldn’t stress about it
And let a man who’s a man be a man
I shouldn’t joke about it
Until I’ve broke the habit
That’s who I am when I am who I am
Why does my man got to be so bad
When I’m the best the guy has ever had
And I’m the best he’s ever gonna get
So how come my man hasn’t seen it yet
(Instrumental)
I’m such a mess about it
I shouldn’t stress about it
And let a man who’s a man be a man
I shouldn’t joke about it
Until I’ve broke the habit
That’s who I am when I am who I am
Why does my man got to be so lame
I’d dump his ass but it seems a shame
He’ll never find a girl as good as me
That’s why I have to show a little charity

Here what I say.

Taken from the album "Rejuiced Phat Shake" released February 14, 2014 on Légére Recordings – catalogue number LEGO 068.

SYLVERS/STAY AWAY FROM ME

CARLTON & THE SHOES/GIVE ME LITTLE MORE

One of the funkiest track from the maestro Piero Umiliani got an even funkier treatment to make it available for today's club use. A cut taken from the soundtrack"La Ragazza Fuori Strada" , directed by Luigi Scattini in 1973, last episode of a trilogy dedicated to Zeudi Araya (see the picture: Piero Umiliani, to the left, Zeudi Araya, at center and Luigi Scattin, to the right).
 I've rearranged some parts but is basically a rhythm reconstruction over the the playback that has no beat at all (just an hi-hat line for the whole lenght), the edit also include the unreleased pt2 with has a rich string section on it! ..lemme me know if it worth the effort! thankyou.

it's out on <a href="http://soundcloud.com/justtusk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tusk Wax</a>, prelisten the whole EP here : <a href="http://soundcloud.com/justtusk/tusk-wax-three" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tusk Wax Three (out now) by Tusk Wax</a>

Piero Umiliani - Le Ore Che Contano (suonho Refunk)

Well on the 25th Anniversary of this classic album they re-released it and in there was a version with just bass and vocals of this wonderpiece. 

The bass of Bakithi Kumalo is INCREDIBLE and deserves more notice. Although I'm not sure a dancefloor can sustain their interest for 5-6 minutes of bass and no beats - so I'm providing you with this educational re-edit. Enjoy in your more Balearic moments.
