Strutt that!

MoFunk Records' XL Middleton & Eddy Funkster team up with Hit+Run Crew's Zackey Force Funk (on vocals) to bring you the funky-yet-ethereal soundscape of "Press Play." It's a danceable, yet eerie and mysterious tune that would fit in just as easily at an after hours warehouse party as it would at a lowrider car show. This is the new sound of West Coast music - Modern funk at its finest.

@Dave-Allison aka Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee has been releasing a staggering amount of edits for the better part of a decade now. Originally coming from a funkier and more upbeat house background, he transitioned into his current slo-mo disco niche after starting to craft edits for a monthly residency at Salon Daomé in his hometown of Montréal. Allison's second label, @Editorial-Records was the natural byproduct of this exploration into more down and mid-tempo territory and the imprint has now released edits and reworks from many like-minded producers. Next up on the label is a 9 track LP from the man himself, appropriately entitled "Slo-Mo Disco".

Crafting an edit isn't necessarily rocket science, but some are just better at it than others. Dave Allison is one of the better known craftsman and is a bit of a wizard when it comes down to it, making him befitting of the moniker he goes by. One of the most important aspects to an edit is of course song selection and in this case Allison has picked a doozy.

Our premiere today and the final cut on the forthcoming LP is titled 'Keep On Lovin You'. Taking an already phenomenal (and highly sought after) record by Gloria Ann Taylor that sounds modern enough to have been produced within the last decade, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee gives it a slight re-arrange with the primary focus of the edit being the melodic elements. From the alluring strings to the hypnotizing guitar riffs, nothing from the original has really been left out except an extended portion of Gloria's vocals, but in this case the instrumentation is so good that we can live without them.

PREMIERE : Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - Keep On Lovin You

Ignition - Secret Sunday Lover (Greg Wilson Edit)

Reel People are back. Back to their roots. Back to the future. Back with a bang. Eagerly awaited album Retroflection was released on October 19th 2018 and saw the revered collective recreating 12 soul, disco and boogie classics pivotal to their formation nearly 20 years ago and subsequent hugely successful evolution. Band leader Oli Lazarus has gathered a stellar cast of musicians and singers, – the likes of Angie Stone, Mica Paris, Omar, Tony Momrelle, Navasha Daya, Anthony David, LaSharVu and Sharlene Hector breathing fresh and irresistible life into seminal grooves by Maze, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie among others.

Reel People Music now give us the third instalment of many remix packages to be taken from Retroflection as the legendary German maestro Mousse T. beautifully reworks I Need Your Lovin’.

Reel People team up LaSharVu – a white-hot amalgam of Sharlene Hector and fellow female powerhouses Vulu Malinga and LaDonna Harley-Peters – to smartly re-dress Teena Marie’s classic I Need Your Lovin’.

Retroflection is Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years (following acclaimed releases Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder, as well as compilation work including Golden Lady), Retroflection reflects the highest possible level of passion and polish. Such soulful devotion and craftmanship has ever been a Reel People hallmark. Recorded in London and Atlanta over an intense 12-month period, Retroflection also avoids the formulaic overload of modern beats and basslines that countless others pursue. Here the past is artfully reawakened, Reel People’s talented cast of performers – overseen by experienced studio-hands Lazarus, Mike Patto, Matt Cooper (of Incognito fame) and Toni Economides - re-treading classic riffs with new yet respectful purpose. Their compelling neo-soul blend of now and then should awe diehards and newcomers alike. Retroflection is one hell of a return.
