Hain Teny - Mercy feat. Aleksandar Shandorov

Artist: A.A.V.V.
Title: ITALO (Re)Funk+Head Kutz
Cat.#: SMS035
Format: 12''

Samosa Records cranks up the summer groove with another sizzling release in the outstanding (Re) Funk+Head series – a collection of juicy tracks from the Samosa back-catalogue selected and re-edited by the man himself, De Gama.

This sumptuous vinyl cut of ITALO Funk and Boogie kicks off with Mexico’s finest, The Funk District and the enigmatic ‘La Rapina’. This is pure, unfiltered Funk District chemistry from the first bar. Snake hips guitar, rolling bass and that super-solid 4-4-4 beat pound into your consciousness whilst the hypnotic chant and Latino-infused vocal tempt you into sin.

Next up on the A-side is Samosa head honcho DeGama and his deliciously refreshing ‘Piňa Colada’ - a new edit of the original 2011 version never previously released on Samosa. And what a mystery box it is. Tight beats, punchy bass, looped synth and house-tinged high-hat lead us to a haunting, melodic vocal breakdown. There’s a subtle Afro flavour to this one, definitely for sipping cocktails in a hammock or Caribbean beach bar.

On Side B Italian Maestro Paul Older takes the beats down several notches with the explosive ‘Daboom’ – the DeGama Re-Groove of Paul’s first vinyl release way back in 2019. This is a straight up, mid-tempo peacock strut down Funksville Boulevard. Possibly wearing a Zoot Suit. Imagine having breakfast with Herbie Hancock and you might get an idea of just how funky this tune is. He’s passing you the eggs and you’re buttering the toast.

The last track sees DeGama delve into his dark magic box for the mind-melting, film noir themed ‘Higher’. The tempo is scaled right back to 92bpm for this portrait of pain, joy, lust and hallucinogenic dreams. ‘Higher’ reveals a side of DeGama that we know lurks in there, but only sometimes makes it to the surface. Smokey, sassy and sultry, this is definitely one for the dimly-lit after party.

The latest episode in the (Re) Funk+Head has set the Samosa bar even higher. This simply has to be in your summer record box and don’t you dare leave home without it.

Daisuke Miyamoto - Boogie Tonight (Original Mix)

It’s an absolute honor to present the first installment in a new series from one of my most-played and beloved producers in the game—Hotmood. With this single, he further cements his status as a master of the sample and groove, delivering a track that’s equal parts powerful and hypnotic. On the flip, Shabi’s remix offers the perfect counterbalance: deep, dubby, and irresistibly smooth.

For fans of: disco edits, soul music, warm Rhodes dubs, and timeless music with a message.

[SPA410] GROOVEMASTA - Over

From the first vocal line, Get Down had us hooked. Hungarian duo Soneec & Soultizer team up with powerhouse vocalist Hazel Fernandes for a feel-good disco house gem that blends classic soul energy with a fresh club-ready twist. Big hooks, big grooves - straight-up good vibes. On remix duties, rising talent N.W.N. delivers a contemporary house rework -  turning the original into a modern floor-filler with attitude and heart.

[SPA411] MANUEL COSTELA -  Harpo's Smile (Original Mix)

Citizens of Vice's ongoing 'Label Love' series seeks to shine a light on overlooked and criminally underplayed gems nestling in the imprint's bulging back catalogue. Here they present a second set of top-tier remixes - those that, for one reason or another, have not had the love they deserve. Secret Soul Society get things underway with a simply gorgeous, sun-bright, afternoon-ready neo-Balearic revision of Bonnie & Klein's 'Bourbon Street', before the 'Mass Density Human Sunrise' take on MAKS' 'North' brilliantly blurs the boundaries between breakbeat-driven acid sleaze and picturesque dreaminess. Elsewhere, Gus Patterson delivers a kaleidoscopic, Italo-disco-influenced nu-disco spin on Andy Buchan's 'Piano Hands', Bucan delivers a string-drenched organic nu-disco makeover of Lanowa's 'Feels Like Love', and Bal 5000 reinvents Patterson's 'Montelbano' is a deep, Italo-influenced electro shuffler.

Fort Knox Five’s longtime friends and brothers in funk, Vancouver-based The Funk Hunters have delivered one of the baddest floor-rocking remixes ever! This track debuted in the Fractal Forest at the 2015 Shambhala Music Festival where it electrified the masses and brought the crowd to a fever pitch. The Funk Hunters have injected their signature sound into “Whatcha Gonna Do” with big drops, huge hooks, and enough glitch and disco to make you put your hands up! This is a guaranteed banger full of West Coast synths and chunked out beats. Easy to see why this one is already a staple of The Funk Hunters amazing live sets.

A tune that channels the classic sounds from the glory days of Funk – blending punchy horns and guitar chops over a grooving bass line and drum break it’s a guaranteed booty shaker.
