"Two delightfully contrasting sides from respected editing/mastering troupe Ebony Cuts. "Carrie On" is all about the sweet cascading vibraphone riff that spirals further and further into the dancefloor over a mildly chugging beat, broken only by even sweeter pianos. "Oba Chule" is a much headier affair; loaded with African percussion, densely over-layered with exciting rhythmic switches and folk chants, it's all tied together with a persistent kick drum. Meltdown."

- Juno Records

"Hamburg's mastering maestro and edit extraordinaire returns to Kojak Giant Sounds, following up his 2013 Roy Ayres edit with this swinging two tracker of groove based delights. On the A-side "Carrie On" bursts out the blocks with tough additional drums and a replayed buzzing synth bassline before settling into a swinging jazz influenced groove complete with rasping sax, off kilter piano chords and warm vibraphone licks. Perfect for the warm up, cool down or simply to switch things up a little, this cut perfectly marries the club friendly bottom end thump with sophisticated melodies. On the B-side, the title track plunges us into the psychedelic swirl of an ancient tribal ritual. Ever changing polyrhythms bump, thump and rattle and the additional synth bass throbs through the subs, feeding the dancefloor frenzy while raucous brass and group vocal chants put you slap bang in the middle of the action. Top notch!"

Magic Words, a new project from NY-based producers Eli Cohen and Peter Hargarten, make their debut on RNT with the Wabi Soba EP, a perfect summertime record. If the title track sounds a bit familiar it’s because it’s been in Harvey’s hands for a while and has made many appearances in his sets around the world. Based around an emotive and dreamy loop, the song basically embodies Balearica, dripping with Spanish guitar and wistful, melancholic harmonies.

Toronto’s Jex Opolis turns in a massive remix that preserves all the delicate texture of the original and lays it lovingly over a pulsing clubby drum foundation. Already getting a huge response in the RNT crew’s club sets, this is a special record that’s got some serious summer anthem buzz!

mani fredo feat solomon burke - get out of my life woman ( remugged by muggo man )

Soundway return once more to the Caribbean and are proud to present ‘Ifetayo’ by Black Truth Rhythm Band originally released in 1976. Led by the charismatic Oluko Imo, ‘Ifetayo’ was the only release from the Afro-centric, Trinidadian band and is re-issued here for the first time on CD, vinyl and digital. Whereas most of their peers at the time were looking to the funk of the USA & James Brown for inspiration, Black Truth Rhythm Band looked to Africa, fusing rhythms from Africa & the West Indies with elements of jazz, funk, calypso and soul.

From an early stage in their career it was the African influence that set Black Truth Rhythm Band apart from other West Indian bands. Formed in 1971, the group looked further a field than the USA for their influences, more specifically to Africa, even going as far as giving themselves African names and dressing in African clothes. At the time finding African records in the West Indies was particularly difficult, making the bands choice of influences even more rare.

In 1975 Imo took his musicians into the studio to record the album ‘Ifetayo’. Imo played bass, kalimba, conga, flute and percussion as well as lead vocals.  The album was released the following year in 1976 and despite being released in the US, remained an underground, albeit unique and forward thinking record that has remained out of print for years now.

‘Ifetayo’ was to be the only release from Black Truth Rhythm Band but Imo continued his music and love of African rhythms, going onto record with Fela Kuti in 1988 and later on perform with members of Fela’s Egypt 80 band.

All formats comes with a non-album bonus track. The vinyl edition comes with bonus 7″

Bombyce August 2019 Mix

"The label with the giant sound is back for release number fifteen, Kojak's the name and edits are the game. Having previously played host to the likes of Nicholas, Maxxi Soundsystem and Al Kent, DJ Ionik's imprint has developed a pedigree for classy edits by players at the top of the game. For release number fifteen Ebony Cuts rolls up to the party, adjusts his tie and puts the champagne on ice. 

Up first under the scalpel is Jesse Gould's "Out of Work", an uptempo disco funk track with filtered guitar matched by a bouncing bassline.  This is one of those bumping disco funk tracks for peak time enjoyment. Ebony Cuts has stitched the vocal and instrumental versions from the original P&P release together and come out of it with a raw funk bomb. Samples are slightly off and bass drums double over each other, but I don't care and neither does Ebony Cuts. A wild disco edit that can hide a shoddy mix, perfect.

On the flipside Ebony Cuts extends Roy Ayers' "Can't You See Me" into a finger clicking, shoulder popping groovathon. Thanks to a subtle restructure of the track, the smooth jazz funk of the original is given some extra dancefloor dynamics, with each instrumental break looped up for full impact. This is the classiest of cocktail disco, the kind of track Dimitri plays while he sips on a white russian."

- Piccadilly Records

"Hot new Kojak Giant Sounds release! These never hang around long and there’s no repress!"

- Rush Hour

"Two Ebony Cuts edits /reworks - Jesse Gold's killer P&P driving boogie disco groover gets its beef chunked up , flip for Roy Ayers - 'Can't You See Me' with a more percussive backing groove!"

- Vinyl Underground

"名作エディット２連発！！Al KentやKool DJ Dust、Nicholasも作品を残すフィンランドの人気ディスコ/エディット・レーベルKojak Giant Soundsから待望のニュー・シングルが到着！！今回は、1977年にJesse Gouldが名門P&P Recordsから放った名作「Out Of Work」と、近頃再発もされたキング・オブ・ヴァイブスこと大御所Roy Ayersが1978年にリリースしたガラージ/ダンス・クラシックス「Can't You See Me」を、Tropical TreatsやSelfmade Millionaire名義でもお馴染みのハンブルグのネタ師Ebony Cutsがエディットしてしまった要注意な一枚！！オリジナルの雰囲気をダイレクトに伝えてくれると共に、フロアでの機能性も重視された激キラーなエディットが施された問答無用の仕上がり！！ネタがネタだけにフロアを大爆発させてくれること間違いなしの一枚です！！！！"

- Technique

"オープニングのドラム・ブレイクを引き延ばし、中盤のインストパート→フック→本編と絶妙に再構築されたRoy Ayres「Can't You See Me」のエディットが最高！！

フィンランドのDJ Ionikが主宰するオブスキュア・エディット・レーベル【Kojak Giant Sound】の15作目は、あのSelfmade Millionaireを手掛けていたハンブルグのディスコ・フリークEbony Cutsによる2トラックEdit！

何と言っても注目したいのが「Roy Ayers / Can't You See Me」のエディットとなるB「Can't You See Me (Ebony Cuts Edits)」。原曲ではドラムブレイクから本編へとすぐに入っていくため、殆どの場合クイック・ミックスする事が多かったのですが、このエディットではブレイクが引き延ばされ、しかもそこから中盤のヴァイブ＆スキャット・ソロに至るインストパートを用意し、ループと再構築を交えて、ジワジワとしたビルドアップ感を携えて本編へと持っていけるという抜群の仕上がり！そしてAサイドには、Billy Nicholas手掛けた【P&P】産のブギー/ディスコ・ナンバーJesse Gould「Out Of Work」のエディットで、こちらもインストパートを主軸に、そのドライブ感のあるブラック・ディスコ・サウンドを構築していた、こちらも素晴しい仕上がり。オススメです！"
