Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 28 featuring legendary producer Arthur Baker & Lazaro Casanova.

Hottest BJ for a while this! Pure terrace-friendly house music fire from legendary producer Arthur Baker. Highly limited as usual. First come - first served.

Anyone whose served time on the dancefloors during Ibiza's more heady days will be up on the flavours showcased here: tribal-tinged, big room grooves full of congas, sax blasts and low, rumbling bass. 

Arthur and Laz met at MURKs famed Monday residency at Coyo Tacos Wynnwood Miami where Casanova is a resident and Baker a guest resident. Heavily influced by the 'Miami sound', I bet these sounds worked just as well out there as they do on Europe's treasured party isle...

Laz and ABs first joint collab is the opener "Makossa". It started off from a few 80s loops out of Bakers vast catalogue, with Casanova whipping them in shape. It’s been battle tested over the last few years, with the subtle play between breakdown and release ratched up super tight. Big smiles all round when this bad boi drops...

“Dale!” features the vocal and production skills of Murk's legendary Oscar. He added the wild saxophone hook and a few other nudges in a late night session at Casanova's little Havana studio, resulting in this fiery tribal house stomper that primed for mainroom play. 

Finally, "BTs Happiness" sees Baker pair up with old friend & ex-wife, Tina b (of "Rockers Revenge", "Tripping on Sunshine" and "Jazzy Sensation" fame) to do some vocalizing. A low pass filter squeezes a whole manner off funky house goodness through on this one: jubilant strings, rolling bassline and glistening guitar licks.

Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 28

¡Dale! Feat. Oscar G

Arthur Baker & Lazaro Casanova - ¡Dale! Feat. Oscar G | Exploited

Aspiring Soul Train dancer and passionate digger of crates. 
Chasing waterfalls and discoballs since 1980.  



"Dancing for me -- all my life I've been dancing -- it was always a social kind of thing. And now that I look back in retrospect, I know that whenever I was unhappy, not feeling well, or depressed, I would dance. I usually danced around a table. And now that I have more knowledge, the concept of dancing around a table -- table -- circle -- circle is completion, circle is wholeness, 360 degrees, that kind of thing, but the music and the movement around the table and around the table -- when I finished I always felt great. So now I say that was a form of unconscious therapy, but all I knew was that I felt raised; I felt lifted. So I loved to dance all of a sudden. It became my life". -- Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, Black Drama (1973).

History

Dan Clarke became obsessed with rave mixtapes in the early '90', quickly progressing to getting a set of turntables and starting a huge vinyl collection. 

Throughout university in Manchester he DJ'ed at various venues including Dry Bar, The Attic and Joshua Brooks. 

Fast forward to the last few years and he has been a resident DJ for the Minstrels Project playing at a number of local venues including Ego Dance Emporium and LOOP Bar in Blackburn as well as Sunbird Records in Darwen. A guest mix for the Lucius Lowe show on Chorley FM also brought him to a wider audience. 

Constantly pushing underground music, his sound now reaches across a wide spectrum, from deep afro beats through to melodic breaks and everything in-between. His 20+ years DJing experience makes him an agile selector who is always evolving.

Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
