This tune is a perfect example of why mo Horizons have been one of my go-to artists for a long time now, who could not love these vibes!

Meet Stipa – a moniker and a concept, created by Ukrainian musician Daria Maksymova. Daria has been around in music production for many years – though focusing on darker sound. However, when life itself became too dark, with the ongoing full-scale invasion to Ukraine happening, it was time to turn around and capture the opposite mood. 

That’s how Stipa was created, and that’s why the EP sounds the way it does. The creative process was always for Daria a coping mechanism: a way to escape reality and find a better place. Naturally, this way it’s possible to capture the moment, the feeling, a place, a certain experience forever and share it with those in need – like people of Ukraine, who struggle to find an escape from everyday wearies of war.

The EP is three original tracks toying with funk, disco and house genres, where Stipa showcasing her excellent producer’s skills and unique vision of melodies and song structures. The EP feels like a child of sun and summer and designed for recreating purposes – or for DJs summer sets on cozy patios while there’s a sunset in the background. To extend the pleasure, we invited two Ukrainian producers – Kadiristy & Rustam to make sure there’s a remix to anyone’s taste: from smooth deep house to groovy electro funk.

Daria shares more about the creation process: “I need a Ukrainian soundscape that makes me feel good. Listening to the world heritage of great disco and funky music is a pleasure, but it feels like visiting a friend's house. I wanted to build the room of my dreams at home – an imaginary soundscape where Mariia Prymachenko’s weird creatures could dance without feeling like foreigners.
My favourite part of parties has always been the morning. When the sun rises, glitter shines on smiling faces, and a sense of belonging and acceptance fills the air. It’s a fleeting moment of unconditional love, something so rare in life. 
I named this EP “Unconditional Love” as a reminder to myself and others to love the people around us while we are together – Любіть живих”.

Daria’s track was the one to open the label's first ever release. Now the exciting appearance of Stipa among other Regulardisco releases adds variety to Ukrainian music to be showcased here among upcoming years.

Shoop Man

ously un-issued tracks that did not fit onto albums, or had been remixed but never quite found a home in the Freestyle release schedule. Lovingly compiled by Freestyle main man DJ Adrian Gibson.

Freestyle, being the eclectic and open minded record label that it is means Fresh Out The Box contains everything from deep and gritty live funk through to DJ/producer studio based music, but all drawing upon that rich seam of soul, jazz, funk, afrobeat & latin that informs so much of what Freestyle has done since the labels inception in 2003. 

First up is the Aroop Roy remix of Afro Elements 'Think'. Aroop Roy is a massive talent who has released one single already on Freestyle, 'Too Long', which will appear on his debut album (Nomadic Soul: FSRCD079) 

Adam Gibbons aka Lack of Afro gave The Fantastics cover version of The Small Faces tune such a sublime mix that we almost did not recognise it, replaying most of the instrumental parts himself, and taking it back to a gritty 1960's vibe. This is remixing of the highest order and he has turned an already big track into a raw dirty funk monster. Compare that to Sleeve's remix of the same tune which takes the track into a totally different direction, utilizing Noel McKoys' stunning vocals and making it easier for the beat friendly DJ to beat-mix.

When we mentioned to Keith Foster from Philadelphia's Big Pimp Jones that we were putting together this album he responded in 24 hours with 3 mixes of one song which he wanted to submit. We chose the Modern Mix of 'Nasty' for this but maybe we'll see the other mixes on future volumes as they could all have made the cut. A Janet Jackson tune has never sounded so raw! DJ Graham B had the same get up and go that we got from Keith with submitting two killer tracks for this compilation. The first 'Walking Sbace' is a solo effort with the b-boys in mind. Rocking beats and grooves to make the dancers go wild.

Beggar & Co main man Kenny Washington found a version of 'Rock Creek Park' in the vaults that was made in the 1980's, so not a new track as such but still Fresh Out The Box as it has never seen the light of day until now. This is top notch Jazz Funk from the UK's finest.

The original extended mix of Soul Sugar's cover version of Hammond legend Dr Lonnie Smiths' Play It Back had to find a home somewhere as it is so good. Check their debut album (Nothing But The Truth: FSRCD067) which came out at the tail end of 2009 on Freestyle. Fresh Out The Box is all your daily musical vitamins and goodness, in one easy to swallow package!

Available on vinyl & digitally | 2nd december 2016

After releasing the first single Voodoo Jazz end of 2016 the journey of Dem Juju Poets keeps on with Barabara, the first single taken off their forthcoming album Liberated Thoughts out due early 2017 on Matasuna Records.
David Hanke aka Renegades Of Jazz, brainchild behind Dem Juju Poets, keeps on with his distinctive Afro sound and delivers a great 45 in various styles. As the Renegades Of Jazz journey will take a step away from Afrofunk music, Dem Juju Poets will be now the main outfit for Hanke to release more Afro driven music in the future.
Barabara is a heavy piece of dancefloor Afrojazz goodness, decent horn sections, tough drums and rich percussions combined with vintage vocals. People's Republic is a organ and flute driven Afrosoul tune with a heavy brass riff, thriving percussions and flute solos galore.

Dem Juju Poets - People's Republic (Matasuna Records | msr002)

One of my 2 remixes i did for the forthcoming album "The Havana Remixes" by Bahama Soul Club. Out May 12th vinyl and digital. "Suonho (...) and amps up the funk quotient on "Muévelo Papi" with a touch of Jazz and a Latin Twist. " 
The other remix will be loaded on Soundcloud the coming days. Full press and links releasere following:

"Hot on the heels of their critically praised album "Havana '58" and with fans worldwide clamoring for more, The Bahama Soul Club has now called upon a brilliant range of producers, DJs and artists to put their own personal spin on Bahama's latest release. Sifting through the album's finest moments they worked their magic on selected tracks and rebooted them into pure rhythmic bliss: "The Havana Remixes" is a bright collection of Latin, House, Jazz, Funk, Soul & Disco with a thoroughly modern take on Dancefloor Jazz.

Opener "Muévelo Papi" is a stirring 60s Boogaloo-hip-twist by the mighty Club Des Belugas, while Geordie mate Smoove from Newcastle turns “No Words” into a fusion of Jazz-house and Breakbeat. Opolopo pulls "Dizzy's Bounce" deeeep into jazzy House while Maestro&Vezzola and Chinchin's Zouzoulectric vs. Gardener Of Delight both having a diverse view on "Tropicana Flight", giving it a Disco-Latin-House-Funk treatment. 
Suonho from Italy jams a more modern Soul-Disco-Funk on "No Words" and amps up the funk quotient on "Muévelo Papi" with a touch of Jazz and a Latin Twist. Rounding off the release is an unexpected Nu-skool Brazilika-brukbeat from Positive Flow aka Jesse Reuben Wilson on "Elegguà" and some solid Latin funky breaks from Jack&Jointz on the rolling "Rumba Fugaz".

All remixes are mastered by The Uncle and very special radio-edits were made exclusively for the beautiful 180g vinyl. Containing nine tracks, this 12" looks like a neat introduction for newcomers and a nice round up for long-term Bahama Soul Club admirers. The full extended versions of all remixes will be released on CD and Digital formats."

Doin' my thing on Honkey Phonk!
http://soundcloud.com/jaylfunk/honkey-phonk-artist-ep-03
"In a World of Wobble and Bass Honkey Phonk comes back with a straight Oldschool Funky Breaks Release at its best.
Jayl Funk presents the old Funk Flavor like you had in the golden BigBeat and Funky Breaks era. BigBeat at its best by Voodoocuts and the pumping funk sound by Morlack. Do your thing and be a Cool Monster! "

"Once again Honkey Phonk's label boss Jayl Funk takes a backseat to let his roster shine, this time on a split-single. First up in Berlin-dwelling Voodoocuts, with a pulsating slice of brass and bass duelling, classic funk. On the proverbial flip is Morlack with a killer 'Bootsy goes hip-hop' electro-boogie workout."
