For many this is the ultimate Disco Illusion; a record that should have been epoch making in its day, something that would have been a staple for David Mancuso, Larry Levan & Ron Hardy had it ever gotten distribution when it was originally released 34 years ago. Somehow time passed it by and it was only re-discovered in a warehouse in Trinidad last year. Since then it has been gaining momentum fast, with DJ support from Moodymann, MCDE, Floating Points & Kon, as well as original copies selling for four-digit sums. Part of the illusion is in the structure of the record. The A-side begins with a beautiful hazy disco song, but suddenly an Egyptian sounding bridge turns things inside out and the song opens up into stripped back proto-house jam complete with bubbling Sun Ra synths and Black Ark tape delay action. Then there’s the b-side, which sounds like Bob James after he had a taste of callaloo, with deep electronics and a mind-melting steel pan solo.

"We find ourselves keeping up on work, information and «the world» at an accelerating pace, but sometimes lose sight of our close ones. So I wanted to bring in some very talented people to talk about their experiences with this conundrum. «Orbit» is a posse cut about staying in touch with the posse, whoever that might be to you." - Ivan Ave

Ishfaq - Two Dimes Two

SK Radicals is the brain child of the multi talented, multi instrumentalist Sean Khan. The band consists of Sean on saxophone, keys, vocals and production, Jacob Eggay and Susan Allotey providing vocals, and Derek McKintyre on bass. Individually, members of the band have worked with a number of great artists ranging from Roy Ayres, The Jazz Crusaders, Lisa Stansfield to John Stevens and Bugz in the Attic,

'Urban Eclectiks' SK Radicals first Freestyle release is grounded in jazz, but is equally in touch with contemporary soul, R n B and urban beats. This is a record that could only be the product of eclectic listening and our post modern times. Asked what his motivation was Sean states that the projects main aim 'is to reflect all genres within urban music and to get away from that materialistic, aspirational nonsense that has taken over urban music and that threatens to destroy its soul'.

'Troubled Times' is a suitably moody opener and allows Seans vocals to evoke just a little 21st century angst, which then contrastingly gives way to the latin-jazz groove of 'My Story' on which Susan Alloteys' delicate, evocative singing rides across killer, grooving double bass and swinging drum rhythms.

Other highlights include 'That Obscure Object of My Desire' on which Sean stretches out on his sax, paying homage to his hero John Coltrane, the spoken word, thumping house groove of 'Indifference is the Enemy of Love' featuring Geneveive Grant, and Benet McLeans amazing piano playing on Free Yourself

The soundscapes and musical textures featured within 'Urban Eclectiks' will appeal to those who appreciate unabashed musical eclecticism. Rooted in jazz, steeped in soul with an ear cocked to contemporary urban sounds, the SK Radicals join the musical dots beautifully, modern fusion for troubled times.

I CANT EXPLAIN IT

PORTIA MONIQUE really is something. Travelling far and wide in pursuit of her musical dreams, the young, seriously talented singer-songwriter has built herself upon a dazzlingly unique voice with something very real to say. 

Her self entitled debut album is a perfect summary of that. Produced by REEL PEOPLE, It is the next step of her amazing journey.

AIN’T SCARED OF YOU is the next offering from the album and provides us with a punchy broken beat affair topped with MONIQUE’s feisty self-assertive message. 

Originally produced by REEL PEOPLE main man OLI LAZARUS and regular studio cohort TONI ECONOMIDES, this single package delivers some very welcome extended REEL PEOPLE mixes and also some sublime reworks courtesy of Sweden’s Mr. Funky, OPOLOPO.

Tomorrow is a new day, lets do better. Music is always on my mind, I’m happy I have the means to create it. It's hard putting out your own music and building the foundation, so I appreciate the up’s and respect the downs. http://www.kharimateen.com

ワシントンDCを拠点に活躍するユニット・Columbia Nights（コロンビア・ナイツ）。ソウル、R&B、Hip-Hop、エレクトロニカ、ジャズを融合した型にはまらないサウンドを展開する今注目のプロダクション・チームだ。大学時代共にバンド活動をしていたHayling Price、John E. Daiseの二人が、卒業後改めてデュオを結成したことから彼らのキャリアはスタートする。二人は数年に渡る制作期間を経て、アナログとデジタルのエレメントが融合したスタイルと、光と影のように相反する世界観が絶妙なバランスで同居する独自のサウンドを作り上げた。やがてハワード大学にてジャズを専攻していたヴォーカリスト・Sarai Abdul-Malikと出会い、彼女の心強い協力を得てデビュー作『Dawn | Dusk』は完成を迎える。

この作品で高い評価を受けた二人は、サウンドの更なる進化を求めてかつてのバンド仲間・Jason “BrotherSpanky” Edwardsを新メンバーとして招集。そして心機一転、新生Columbia Nightsがかつてない全く新しいアプローチを探求していく中で完成したのが、今回日本盤のリリースが決定したアルバム『In All Things』だ。この中で三人は、ソウルからフュージョン、Hip-Hop、エレクトロニカに至るまで広範囲に渡る影響を思わせるサウンド、ジャンルを超越した世界観でリスナーを魅了する。あのRoy Ayers Projectも絶賛したという彼らの非凡なサウンドからは、この先のソウル・ミュージックを大きく前に推し進める確かなエネルギーを感じることができるだろう。

Aso - thoughts

This a my complete reworking of O.Boogie's "Underwhere". I used the samples he used to make the original and did this track from scratch with them. Went all Carlos Santana on the end section. Features some lovely sounds from my RITM-2 Russian synth that died shortly after - may he rest in peace...

Don't think this ended up getting released in the end. If you want it download enabled, I'll need to ask him first...

LEFTO: Worldwide FM / Studio Brussels

James Rudie : Good Fry Up
“I can’t tell if James was influenced by the Dilla or Sa-Ra Creative Partners sound of the late 90s or early 2000s but there are similar elements in that tune; the rhodes, the slightly off beat or not quantized drums and the allround crispy sound… James’ tune is maybe what these guys would be making these days if they were up to making house music dancefloor killers…” LEFTO

IG CULTURE : CoOp Presents / Selectors Assemble / Worldwide FM / Rinse FM
