FMO Funk - 039 | DJ Zorken

BBE Music presents the first ever digital release for ‘Baby Doll’, a hidden Roy Ayers gem from the 70s, originally issued as a limited 12″ single back in 2003.

Initially intended to be the opening single for the first volume of Roy Ayers ‘Virgin Ubiquity: Unreleased Recordings 1976 – 1981’, somehow the track never made it onto the album itself, so this vintage disco cut has never appeared on digital formats, until now.

Featuring the great Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdy on drums, ‘Baby Doll’ boasts William Allen on bass and Chano O’Ferral on congas, with vocals, keys and clarinet taken care of by Mr. Ayers himself.

This month is all about the sounds of Japan. In these celebrations and discussions, we have founder & owner of Tokyo based label, City Baby Records — Ryan Erik Williams. Ryan has been a resident in Tokyo for the last 20 years, and has a lot of knowledge when it comes to Japanese music, whether it will be City Pop, Jazz Fusion or Kayōkyoku — he’s our guy! Together Aswad & Ryan discuss what they love and admire about 80s Japanese music, whilst sharing music from their collections.

Melodies of Life

Artista: Mr. OffBeat
Sello: Appetizers Music

El productor Mr OFFBeat regresa con Rebirth EP, una obra conceptual de deep house en la que una única composición original se transforma en cuatro versiones diferentes. En esta premiere presentamos la versión original: un corte profundo y orgánico que combina calidez analógica, sutiles matices jazzísticos y un groove que respira tanto introspección como energía para la pista.

La producción refleja el sello característico de Mr OFFBeat: atmósferas densas y envolventes que conviven con un pulso perfectamente calibrado para warm-ups, sesiones de amanecer o momentos más íntimos en el club. Una pieza que, sin artificios, transmite mensaje y emoción desde la primera escucha.

Rebirth EP estará disponible en formato digital el 15 de agosto de 2025 a través de Appetizers Music.
