Hard to believe it's been more than a year since our <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2010/09/13/freep02/">Clap & Friends FreE.P.</a> and almost two since we kicked off the series with <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2009/12/17/the-rnb-free-p/">three slices of r&b infused house that came to define a chunk of our sound</a>. With everything that's happened in the last 2 years it would be easy to forget the importance of giving back, but fear not loyal clappers, we wont let you down. So for FreE.P. #3 we continue in the spirit of "showcasing unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website" with three certified bombs by men of the moment, MAM. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, so let's go back in time...

It was "One of Them Nights" back in late 2009 and as usual we were at an afterparty in Leeds when a sudden urge left us very much in need of a spliff. "I got that chronic right here, blood" came a voice from none other than the track-master himself, Miguel Campbell. As you probably gathered from the <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">podcast</a> we just posted, it was love at first smoke and 2 years down the road the music of Miguel, and his partner in MAM, Matt Hughes have become staples in almost all our DJ sets. You can get <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">the whole scoop on MAM in the podcast post</a>, but to make a long story short, after the massive response we got for including "Can't Live Without Music" on our Essential Mix we figured it was time to big up our boys with FreE.P. That is, before <a href="http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/101173">Wolf + Lamb stepped in and offered up a four track on their Black Label</a>. At the time, we figured we could help give the record an extra push, but little did we know Miguel was about to blow...

But lets cut to the chase, we're so proud to have these MAM tracks as our latest FreE.P. They are 3 bonafide dance-floor bombs that have become staples in our DJ sets over the summer and are a fantastic representation of the MAM sound; thumping french-touched, sample-crazy house music, but slowed down for a new generation. First in line, "Reel Sweet" is a warmup weapon of choice, perfect for getting into the 80's mode and seducing the crowd. Next up is "One Of Them Nights (Alternative Mix)", a special version of one of the most requested MAM cuts off the Wolf + Lamb Black release. This interpretation is guaranteed to get you down, Mr Ocean would be proud. Last, but certainly not least, is "Can't Live Without Music", the jam that started it all. Its a slowed down, bass-heavy vocoder workout that is a personal favorite and a theme song for our journey along this long road we call music. YEAHHH BOI!

Feat Jocelyn Brown - Always

Soundway Records present ’24 Hours in A Disco 1978 - 82’, 7 cuts of relentless disco grooves from the sublimely gifted Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa’s answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday. 

Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise matched by an equally swift fall back into obscurity. 

Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.

Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan’s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release.

Released on CD and 2xLP both formats are accompanied with detailed liner notes written by Uchenna Ikonne. LP version comes with a free MP3 download of the release.

This is a little J&D reinterpretation of a stone cold classic by one of house music's founding fathers Larry Heard (aka Mr Fingers). In J&D's own words: "The original is sublime and cannot be improved, this rework is only a tribute to one of our heroes."
