The latest installment in the Reloved series brings together producer extraordinaire CLAP! CLAP! (Cristiano Crisci) and the rich catalog of library music from Four Flies Records. 

A lifelong enthusiast of Italian soundtracks and library music, the acclaimed Florence-born producer continues to refine his unique vision, this time delving into original tracks by Giuliano Sorgini, Oscar Rocchi, Fabio Fabor, and Enzo Minuti. By engaging in a creative dialogue with these masters, he expands his compositional approach, seamlessly blending jazz, funk, boom bap, electronica, and vocal elements to create an imaginative and experimental groove. 

"I pushed myself beyond my usual sound, exploring a new approach to composition and recording—one far removed from my typical methods,” Crisci explains. “Stepping outside my comfort zone and reaching a rarely explored limit allows me to listen back to my work with fresh ears. And this feeling is, without a doubt, the greatest satisfaction this project has given me." 

The record kicks off with “Bouncy Flow”, where Crisci leaves his unmistakable rhythmic mark on Oscar Rocchi’s funk. Next comes “Dubit”, a contemporary dub reworking of a Fabio Fabor track (officially credited to his wife, Maria Augusta Bruni), infused with a modern-day Mission Impossible vibe. Side A concludes with perhaps the most fairytale-like reinterpretation on the EP: “Empathy Trails,” a perfect fusion of jazz and dub-funk where Italian strings sampled from Enzo Minuti blend with offbeat rhythms, basslines performed by frequent collaborator Piero Spitilli, and field recordings (featuring chants from the Aka Pygmies), transporting the listener to an unexpected, dreamlike world. 

The journey continues on Side B with “Right Track”, a boom-bap delicacy built around samples from a rare, unreleased 1974 piece by Giuliano Sorgini (an atmospheric composition interweaving drums, synths, and a 12-string acoustic guitar likely played by Alessandroni). Presented here as an instrumental, “Right Track” is also available on the Italian Library Songbook series as a 7” vocal version featuring Japanese rapper Coma-Chi. Next on Side B comes “Horses and Spurs”, an instrumental hip-hop ride with a super lo-fi jazz aesthetic, again featuring samples from Enzo Minuti. The EP closes with “Blue Rain”, which delivers the album’s jazziest intro, weaving Oscar Rocchi’s original soprano sax into a magnetic downtempo rhythm before evolving into a hypnotic footwork/juke groove. 

This bold and exciting project not only reimagines the library music masters for today— the essence of the Reloved series—but also takes things a step further. Thanks to CLAP! CLAP!’s brilliance, select gems from Four Flies’ catalog are transformed into a new sonic art form. 

Available on 12” vinyl and digital formats starting April 11, 2025

Secret Soul Society, aka South Wales's Cal Gibson, continues his red-hot streak of form with four original jams for Hell Yeah that effortlessly weave decades of influences into intimate, unusual sounds that go from Balearic daydreams to after-hours soul burners.

Gibson was one-half of Nottingham's deep house and downtempo outfit Neon Heights back in the 2000s, a collective that label head Marco has long admired. He has landed here before with the superb Keep The Mystique in 2023, a 15-track collection of brand new curveball cuts built from lovingly sourced samples. Since then, he has continued to collide jazz, funk, Afro, beats, dub, soul and reggae on Paper Wave and Magic Wand.

'Happy To Be' opens with gentle, sun-soaked grooves, swirling keys and dreamy pads that evoke a hazy Mediterranean sunset. Nostalgic soul samples tug at the heart while the track’s laid-back vibe is perfect for golden-hour moments. 'Orange Surprise' is a magical slice of downtempo bliss with hints of romantic vocals. It's built on soft broken rhythms and drifts between ambient soul and laid-back electronica, perfect for introspective moments or late-night winding down.

'Keep On Trying' flips the script with more texture. The synths are crystalline, the pads are sugary, and the meandering bassline unfolds in wonky fashion while soft male vocals bring a steamy edge. Last but not least, 'What You Do To Me' is funky and slow motion disco with 80s synths and reverb that drowns you in good vibes.

This EP is Secret Soul Society at his most expressive and emotive.

The Secret Soul Society - To Be Happy

Paul Murphy’s Claremont 56 label welcomes a genuine legend of UK music to its roster – Chaz Jankel, the man whose dizzying musicality and love of soul, funk and disco did much to shape the sound of Ian Dury’s Blockheads band in the late 1970s and early ‘80s.

A virtuoso keyboardist with a deep love of Black American music, Jankel’s arrangements and compositional skills were key to the success of their records, the funkiest of which not only became crossover pop hits – see ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’ and ‘Reasons To be Cheerful, Part 3’ in particular – but also saw heavy rotation in now iconic New York clubs including the Paradise Garage and Studio 54. 

This continued during the formative years of his solo career, with ‘My Occupation’, ‘Questionnaire’ and ‘Glad To Know You’ (later famously re-edited and dubbed out for nu-disco dancefloors by Todd Terje) all becoming club hits. The great Quincy Jones also covered Jankel’s infectious single ‘Ai No Carrida’, while experimental, club-ready synth-jam ‘3,000,000 Synths’ was also influential during the early years of the electro movement.

For his Claremont 56 bow, Jankel has delivered an all-new workout recorded earlier this year, the simply titled ‘Rhumba Jam’. A typically warm, groovy and rolling affair, it features Jankel delivering infectious, stretched-out Rhodes electric piano solos over toasty bass, clipped guitar licks, warm bass, accordion-style synth motifs and a densely layered Rhumba rhythm. While relaxed and sun-soaked, it also has bags of Balearic dancefloor potential.

Murphy remixes under his now familiar Mudd alias, leaning into the track’s languid Balearic vibe while keeping a firm focus on the dancefloor. Beginning with an enticing mix of metronomic drums and jangly acoustic guitars, Murphy slowly layers up key elements of Jankel’s original – think rubbery bass, rhythmic handclaps, mazy synth sounds and those wonderful, stretched-out solos. It’s a version that pays due reverence to the quality of Jankel’s musicianship, production and arrangement while subtly extending it and reframing it for 21st century Balearic dancefloors.
