May I please present to you my first edit of the new year in the shape of the 1972 classic 'Wanna Do My Thing' by Matata.

With the original being on my a firm fixture in my vinyl-only DJ set, I decided to give the track a loving, 50th anniversary, dance-floor friendly bump for the weekend discos. 

Raise your hands in the air, and do your thing. 

Enjoy!

Matata - Wanna Do My Thing (Diesler's Weekend Edit)

“Freedom” is a powerful, anthemic organic house journey — a fusion of human spirit and digital evolution.
Live wood flute, sitar, and vocals flow through the track, weaving between cinematic percussion and pulsing basslines.

Say hello to Opolopo's mutants! With this release, mad funk scientist Opolopo finally opens the doors to his private zoo of mutant pets. Exposed to sonic radiation and mutagenic chemicals, their DNA sequences have been seriously funkafied for ultimate effectiveness. Some of these creatures you might have already encountered. Others were let out of quarantine especially for this release. And some are about to become your new best friends.

The fearless vocalists taking part in these sonically advanced experiments in groove mutation include the first lady of modern funk, Amalia, R&B multitalent Colonel Red, Tupac songwriter Erik Rico, Mathew Herbert collaborator Eska, Grammy-nominee Gregory Porter, French soul superstar Sly Johnson, hip hop hall of famer Talib Kweli, spoken word queen Ursula Rucker and many others. Time to get your mutant on!

One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.
Henry David Thoreau

As summer comes to a close, I wanted to give away a song that has been a big part of my sets for the last few months. I've made quite a few dusty remixes of 80s soul and funk tunes recently and I figure I might as well start sharing them. The first one is my remix of Letta Mbulu's Down By The River. 
Hope you enjoy <3

Die Revolution wird nicht im TV übertragen, behauptete einst Gil Scott-Heron. Und, Oh Boy, er konnte 1970 nicht wissen, dass das Internet alles auf den Kopf stellen wird. 2019 ist quasi überall Revolution- auf allen Kanälen und zu jeder Uhrzeit. Es gibt zum Thema Soundtracks und Filme, Blogs und Magazine und jede Menge Musik aus zig Jahrzehnten Popkultur, die sich mit dem Thema Rebellion und Revolution auseinandersetzen. Alex Barck von Jazzanova hat sich diesem Thema im vorliegenden Mix ausführlich gewidmet- und zeigt damit, dass er ein musikalischer “Hans Dampf in allen Gassen” ist. Wir wollen nicht zu viel verraten, vorab nur dies: Was für ein Tape!

Kalita are happy to announce the first ever re-release of Stirling March's 1985 Bahamian boogie grail 'Under Cover Lover'. With original copies painfully hard to find and commanding eye-wateringly high prices, we believe the time is ripe to share this masterpiece with the world once more, accompanied by never-before-seen photos and interview-based liner notes. 

Falling in love with music at an early age, Stirling listened religiously on the radio to both soul and disco greats, as well as to contemporary pop and rock musicians including Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Elton John. By the age of twenty-one he decided release his own record in an attempt to demonstrate to the Bahamian music industry his own ability, and in the hope that it would help him launch his musical career. Written over the space of just a few hours, the result was 'Under Cover Lover'. A sun-kissed Caribbean boogie track, Stirling explains that “this was the first song the I had written that I felt was good enough in its arrangement to put to tape”. 

Recorded at a local studio in Nassau that was available for budding young musicians to give it their best shot at fame, Stirling proudly recalls that it “turned out much better than I had expected. It reinforced my confidence that I could really be good at singing”. 

The record was originally released on the sound engineer's own label Illumination Records, but was distributed solely by Stirling, who admits that “I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I knew I had something good but didn't suite understand the industry and nobody picked it up”. Although he recalls the local radio airtime being "phenomenal”, difficulties in elevating the record's status were further compounded by his own financial inability to promote the record as it probably warranted. As a result, the record was therefore soon sadly lost into distant memory. 

We hope that this re-release brings ‘Under Cover Lover’ the recognition that it deserves as one of the best Caribbean boogie tracks to ever be put to wax.
