SS001B Save The Wax JazzSpastiks Remix

Second single via Brussels-based, Brazil-inspired duo Tapioca is “Melodia,” a splash of pure funk-infused tropical vibes. Instantly catchy, the song is full of highs; punchy horn & string stabs, fluttering guitars, synths & impeccable harmonies - the latter courtesy of lyricist Le Tagarel - all held together by the warmth of the Rhodes keys and crisp percussion courtesy of producer SiKa, the track showcases the duos potential.

The Best of A Tribe Called Quest Mixed By DJ M-Rock

In the late seventies and early eighties, while living in self-imposed exile in Los Angeles, Brazilian maestro Marcos Valle formed a close musical partnership with North American soul legend and producer extraordinaire Leon Ware. 

Valle & Ware’s collaborations resulted in some of the most celebrated songs from their respective oeuvres. Among others, they wrote “Rockin’ You Eternally” and “Baby Don't Stop Me” (the latter co-written with Laudir De Oliveira from the band Chicago), from Ware’s 1981 album, and the disco boogie work-out hit “Estrelar” from Valle’s self-titled 1983 album.

In 1979, together in an LA Studio, Valle and Ware recorded a demo which would remain unfinished for 44 years, as Valle recalls:

“This demo tape Leon and I recorded… I found the tape on a shelf in my house, it must have been there for over forty years! I showed it to Daniel [Maunick]. He really loved it and we decided to develop the song for my new album. The demo had the groove, most of the instrumentation and Leon’s vocal. But the lyrics weren’t finished...” 

In 2024, with the help of Maunick’s studio wizardry, Valle restored and sampled the original demo track, adding Portuguese lyrics alongside Leon’s vocal hook, as well as extra keyboards and percussion. 

Traversing time and space in a way that might not have been possible before the emergence of new technologies, Maunick utilised AI stem-separation to remove the placeholder vocal ad-libs, which Valle replaced with his new lyrics. 

With the original music treated with the care and reverence it deserves, this stirring soul masterpiece, conceived over four decades prior, retains all the visceral sensuality and authenticity of the golden era from which it emerged.
 
Leon Ware passed away in 2017, leaving behind a phenomenal body of work, including the countless hits he produced for other artists including Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Minnie Riperton and Marvin Gaye. 

Reflecting on his partnership with Leon Ware, Marcos Valle reminisces: 

“To be honest, it was love at first sight… As a partner, as a musician and as a friend. Immediately Leon and I knew that we had to write something together - it was very natural. It was a lovely partnership that I value very, very, very much. I miss him a lot, and I’m so happy that we have this new song together.”

With a new album entitled Túnel Acústico coming this year and tours across Europe and America, the octogenarian epicurean maestro Marcos Valle shows no signs of slowing.

Marcos Valle’s “Feels So Good (Feat. Leon Ware)” will be available as a limited edition (500 units), vinyl-only 7” release, exclusively from Far Out Recordings from the 2nd August 2024.

Following on from our first full length release 'Seventy Five' by Ded Tebiase, it felt only right that '1976' by Chairman Maf should be next in line.

'1976' was originally released in 2013, exactly 3 years ago to the date and has remained a firm favourite of ours since it's initial CD release. Due to this fact, we got in contact with Maf and are proud to present to you a one off vinyl run of this monumental instrumental hiphop album.

Chairman Maf has been producing soulful, hard hitting hiphop with a cinematic feel for 13+ years and has built up a solid reputation up and down the country and further ashore, including being listed in IMN's top 50 independent unsigned worldwide urban acts in 2013. Originally residing from Cambridge, his journey of beatmaking began in Liverpool, then onto Sheffield and Bristol. He produced the title track 'Prawns' on Dirty Dike's successful 2015 album 'Sucking On Prawns In The Moonlight' and has worked with and produced for a long list of artists, including Inja, Kingpin, Cyclonius, Loudmouth Melvin, Skuff & many more.

'1976' is 15 tracks of instrumental wizardry and firmly cements Chairman Mafs position as one of the finest hiphop producers in the UK. Proudly presented by Village Live as a one off run of Vinyl LP's and a limited run of 100 cassettes, this is a must have for anybody that previously purchased a '1976' CD upon release, anybody that has followed Maf's body of work over the years and for anybody that is a fan of intricate, melodic, hiphop.

Check out the new single "Destination Hope" ft: Chris Turner & J. Ivy. "Destination Hope" is the first single off Maurice's new album "The Mood". 
Available March 24, 2017. 

“Destination Hope represents a place of encouragement & inclusion in place of resentment & division, a place where there is no racism or discrimination. A place where people have respect for one another, their communities and the environment. It’s very easy to get caught up in the negativity & that leads to hopelessness. In these trying times, I sought to create a mood that would uplift people and give them a sense of hope. The destination is in the journey to get there; to actively & compassionately stand up for something better for ourselves & future generations is to cultivate hope.”― Maurice Brown

Far Out Recordings was founded in 1994 by London DJ and record producer Joe Davis. His longstanding and insatiable passion for Brazilian music, fuelled by his initial love of the jazz, funk and soul ubiquitous on the Rare Groove scene in 1980s London, took him to Brazil first as a teenager. It was there that his enthusiasm for record-collecting led him to some of his musical heroes and the eventual formation of musical bonds and close friendships. Joe’s early discoveries led to him becoming the UK’s foremost authority on Brazilian music, much of it little-known here before his enthusiastic endorsements began to ring out across the music scene. This led to the inevitable, and the keen young music fan and DJ with an entrepreneurial flair founded Far Out Recordings.

The label’s aim from the start has been to bring the sound of Brazil to the world – to showcase the history and culture of a land bursting with creativity and energy – from the classic to the cutting edge. There have been numerous releases from both new and established Brazilian artists including legends such as Azymuth, Joyce, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Clara Moreno and Binario, to name a few. 

Far Out also releases music from musicians and producers around the world who share the label’s appreciation for Brazilian music and culture. Alongside Brazilian music, the label is also well known for its longstanding association with underground dance music, having collaborated with some of the most acclaimed and accomplished electronic producers of our times. This had led to a rich plethora of pioneering and innovative dance and beats music, forging a future for the oft-neglected role of Brazil and its rhythms in the complex dance music diaspora of the UK and US, with 12" remixes and original productions from the likes of Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Dego, Andres, Marcellus Pittman, Kirk Degiorgio, Nicola Conte, A.D. Bourke, Henry Wu and Rick Willhite among many others.

Joe's crate-digging mentality has also been the driving force behind another crucial aspect of Far Out's work - unearthing forgotten masterpieces and once impossible to find records. This has led to reissues from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin’s catalogue of lost gems, resulting in some of the finest Brazilian reissues you’re likely to find. While this remains a relatively small percentage of the label's output, every release is brought to you with the utmost love and care, ensuring painstaking perfection in the realms of sound, aesthetic and physicality.

Many of the artists on the Far Out roster regularly tour worldwide, playing across Europe, the USA and the Far East. Look out for them in your town, spreading the joy, the warmth and the restless creativity of Brazilian music and all that Far Out seeks to represent. “After more than twenty years of Far Out, we are only just beginning to realise our ambitions” surmises Joe. “We are still learning about production, recording and music, always.. and we are fortunate to be surrounded by the most exciting group of musicians and producers who are making consistently brilliant music. We are still intent on finding new stars, but we are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and our formidable artist roster.”

"15 years of the excellent Far Out" Word
"The original and the best, Far Out has never faltered" Gilles Peterson
"Excellent London-based Brazilian label" The Independent
"UK's leading Brazilian label" The Observer
