Dj Kemit "Fortune Teller" ft Eric Roberson (Pablo Martinez remix)(Ocha Records)

In Sherman, artist Sherman Donton, formerly known as NERDOfficial, dives deep into the universal struggles of heartbreak, self-doubt, depression, and the painful process of losing friends. This coming-of-age album isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s an emotional blueprint for anyone who’s felt the sting of love lost, the weight of self-doubt, or the emptiness of drifting apart from those who once felt like family.

Through raw lyricism and atmospheric production, Sherman tackles the emotional rollercoaster of moving on after a breakup and learning to face oneself in the mirror, flaws and all. Sherman Donton confronts his darkest moments head-on, laying bare the internal battles that come with feeling lost and questioning his worth. Themes of depression are woven throughout, capturing the days when hope felt distant and life seemed heavy, yet also showing his quiet resilience in working through the pain.

Losing friends, especially during times of personal struggle, adds another layer to Sherman. The album reflects the bittersweet reality of growing apart from people you once thought would be around forever, and the painful yet necessary lesson of letting go for the sake of personal growth. Yet, despite the darkness, there’s a thread of resilience that holds Sherman together—an unshakable belief that growth and healing are possible, even when everything seems broken.

Sherman is a tribute to those moments of quiet strength we find in ourselves and the slow, often painful process of building a new life from the ashes of the old. This album is for anyone navigating the shadows, searching for light, and daring to believe in themselves again.

Release Date: 29/10/2012

Miguel Campbell is a burgeoning young star that shot to notoriety in 2011 after ‘Something Special’, his debut release on Hot Creations became one of the biggest tracks of the year. 

This was a big intro for a young guy from the north of England but one year on and he proves that was just the tip of the iceberg as his debut album, the superbly crafted and pop infused ‘Back In Flight School’ reignites even more cross genre potential as Campbell explores where the highs of house meets the depths of soulful funk and disco nostalgia.

Set to put Miguel back in the end of year charts for a second year running, ‘Back In Flight School’ is a smooth and addictive ride that’s rich in harmonies and contagious bass-lines. This thoughtfully executed and consistent combination from the opening title track to the closing moments leaves you feeling warm inside.

“The aviation theme was inspired by the old 'in Flight' ethos of Funk,” explains Miguel, ”along with the amount of time I have spent on airplanes over the last year.” Despite his rapid rise to success Miguel has not forgotten his roots. Within his music you can feel the romanticism of French touch, cheekiness of P-Funk and the energy of 80s pop idols Michael Jackson culminating in a sound that is as appealing if you’re a man or woman.

Campbell’s dextrous use of vocals add an extra dimension, from the vocoder Daft Punk style rapping of ‘Rockin Beats’ to the warm feminine touch of ‘Not That Kind Of Girl’, an anthemic addition, his tracks are full bodied and set to lead a long shelf life.

The filtered disco intros of the album are hypnotic and twinkle with disco nostalgia. Taking the best effect in the seductive ‘Night Mode’ and equally charming ‘Sky Mode’, these final tracks relax in pace but are perhaps the strongest of the collection. As with all great producers, the seeds he plants early taste best as they bloom.

“My main goal was to create a musical tale for the listener to enjoy, with a start middle and end which would encompass the various styles of house and funk I have produced over the years and display the various types of instrumentation that I use.”
If there’s one word to sum up Miguel Campbell it’s authentic. He never compromised on his style, spending years practising all day, every day to sculpt his own fresh take on a sound heavy in nostalgia. His patience paid off at WMC 2010 when Jamie Jones heard ‘Something Special’. His release came in the year that Jones’ label Hot Creations were on top for championing a sound that Miguel was already a master of.

Up to that point Miguel had been building his own Outcross Records out of his Leeds base. Together with Matt Hughes he also forms MAM who have released a series of endearing edits on the likes of Wolf + Lamb’s Black edits label and FINA, the offshoot from 2020 Recordings. Hughes also produced the album that features vocals from Campbell’s friends and local talent Becks Lott, Naroe, Olly Smith, Alex Mills and Ninjitsu.

Label de jour Hot Creations are entering a new chapter as they launch the first in a line of albums on the imprint, with follow ups planned from Hot Natured and Lee Foss in 2013.

Inspired by a family of record collectors, Miguel’s passion for music was ignited early. His earliest affairs were with hip-hop through Cypress Hill and Digital Underground and his earliest memory is a visiting a record shop with his parents to purchase a 7-inch from Musical Youth.

“My family have really supported my movement and I feel so proud to be able to fulfill my promise of paying them back for all they have done for me. My mum now realises that the "BANG - Bang - BANG " sound is actually a viable career path and not just some whacky dream that I have. I also find peace in the fact that my father can now look down on me and feel proud of where I have taken this music game we used to play.”

The soft and steady approach Miguel Campbell took is a clear message to the younger generation to stay true to what you believe in. His dedication and commitment have shaped him into a genuine role model from the future.

Bobby Caldwell - Down For The Third Time (Joey Negro Down For The Fourth Time Edit)

"The label with the giant sound is back for release number fifteen, Kojak's the name and edits are the game. Having previously played host to the likes of Nicholas, Maxxi Soundsystem and Al Kent, DJ Ionik's imprint has developed a pedigree for classy edits by players at the top of the game. For release number fifteen Ebony Cuts rolls up to the party, adjusts his tie and puts the champagne on ice. 

Up first under the scalpel is Jesse Gould's "Out of Work", an uptempo disco funk track with filtered guitar matched by a bouncing bassline.  This is one of those bumping disco funk tracks for peak time enjoyment. Ebony Cuts has stitched the vocal and instrumental versions from the original P&P release together and come out of it with a raw funk bomb. Samples are slightly off and bass drums double over each other, but I don't care and neither does Ebony Cuts. A wild disco edit that can hide a shoddy mix, perfect.

On the flipside Ebony Cuts extends Roy Ayers' "Can't You See Me" into a finger clicking, shoulder popping groovathon. Thanks to a subtle restructure of the track, the smooth jazz funk of the original is given some extra dancefloor dynamics, with each instrumental break looped up for full impact. This is the classiest of cocktail disco, the kind of track Dimitri plays while he sips on a white russian."

"Hot new Kojak Giant Sounds release! These never hang around long and there’s no repress!"

- Rush Hour

"Two Ebony Cuts edits /reworks - Jesse Gold's killer P&P driving boogie disco groover gets its beef chunked up , flip for Roy Ayers - 'Can't You See Me' with a more percussive backing groove!"

"名作エディット２連発！！Al KentやKool DJ Dust、Nicholasも作品を残すフィンランドの人気ディスコ/エディット・レーベルKojak Giant Soundsから待望のニュー・シングルが到着！！今回は、1977年にJesse Gouldが名門P&P Recordsから放った名作「Out Of Work」と、近頃再発もされたキング・オブ・ヴァイブスこと大御所Roy Ayersが1978年にリリースしたガラージ/ダンス・クラシックス「Can't You See Me」を、Tropical TreatsやSelfmade Millionaire名義でもお馴染みのハンブルグのネタ師Ebony Cutsがエディットしてしまった要注意な一枚！！オリジナルの雰囲気をダイレクトに伝えてくれると共に、フロアでの機能性も重視された激キラーなエディットが施された問答無用の仕上がり！！ネタがネタだけにフロアを大爆発させてくれること間違いなしの一枚です！！！！"

"オープニングのドラム・ブレイクを引き延ばし、中盤のインストパート→フック→本編と絶妙に再構築されたRoy Ayres「Can't You See Me」のエディットが最高！！

フィンランドのDJ Ionikが主宰するオブスキュア・エディット・レーベル【Kojak Giant Sound】の15作目は、あのSelfmade Millionaireを手掛けていたハンブルグのディスコ・フリークEbony Cutsによる2トラックEdit！

何と言っても注目したいのが「Roy Ayers / Can't You See Me」のエディットとなるB「Can't You See Me (Ebony Cuts Edits)」。原曲ではドラムブレイクから本編へとすぐに入っていくため、殆どの場合クイック・ミックスする事が多かったのですが、このエディットではブレイクが引き延ばされ、しかもそこから中盤のヴァイブ＆スキャット・ソロに至るインストパートを用意し、ループと再構築を交えて、ジワジワとしたビルドアップ感を携えて本編へと持っていけるという抜群の仕上がり！そしてAサイドには、Billy Nicholas手掛けた【P&P】産のブギー/ディスコ・ナンバーJesse Gould「Out Of Work」のエディットで、こちらもインストパートを主軸に、そのドライブ感のあるブラック・ディスコ・サウンドを構築していた、こちらも素晴しい仕上がり。オススメです！"

Raw Ayers - "Can't You See Me" (Ebony Cuts Edit)

Take a caravan across the Sudan, Sahara visage is just a mirage.

Flights Over Egypt [FREE DL]

If Daft Punk had written their song "Teachers" today, they would most definitely have had to include Herbie Hancock on the list... at least the late 70's version of Herbie that produced the cut edited here. Those crisp disco drums, rubbery bass line and, most noticeably, those talk box vocals, are featured all over their new album! But Herbie was doing it 35 years ago. Here's to the originators!

If you dig the edit, do yourself and the artist a favor and check out the original material. Daft Punk would aprove :)

A warm and merry welcome to the home of all things Richard Earnshaw. As well as new music from me and from the labels (Duffnote, One51 & Guess) there'll be remixes and dusty old demos galore from the old days. There's also a new iCulture Soundcloud page for all the radio mischief you can cope with...Happy listening... x
