Coming soon on the Soul Soul Flow EP part 2 on 12" from Shoes Recordings!

George Jackson - Aretha (Shoes Slow Soul Flow Edit)

The next single from New Regency Orchestra’s self-titled forthcoming album comes in form of Manuel Sánchez Acosta’s salsa sensation, ‘Papa Boco’. Originally written by the Dominican physician and composer, the band took inspiration from a different 1962 arrangement, made by bandleader and timbales maestro, Orlando Marin. 

For this fresh reimagining of ‘Papa Boco’, the 18-piece big band of New Regency Orchestra keeps the essence of Marin’s arrangement whilst adding their explosive flair to proceedings. An Afro-Cuban-flavoured warmth washes over you from the off, with Latin percussion and a swell of peaking horns kicking the song into gear immediately. Stepping forth, Jose Cesar’s commanding vocals give a distinctive depth to the recording that sets it apart from Marin’s version. 

With bandleader Eliane Correa on the keys and at the helm, the salsa energy is amplified through her scintillating and syncopated chords. As the track peaks, the groove swaps from 4’s to 3’s for the breakdown slipping into sensuous territory before bursting back into the dynamism of the full orchestra’s power.

A respectful yet contemporary take on a salsa gem from one of London’s most electrifying new acts.

1 Mango (Original radio edit)
Mystery and music, superior and sexy, alluring folks dancing and she plays around laughing. The Mango is a Mambo that always answers back. Laid back.

2 Mango (Club des Belugas Bossa Remix)
This Remix of Mango made by Club des Belugas brings Sunset colors to the music palette of the Ep. Bigband lounge ambience y mucho Sabor!!!!

3 Mango (TheEEs Reggae Remix)
Hot night in a caribbean beach, in the horizon the lights of the city, but we are in a paradise and we don't want to leave. The hunting reggae is our heart beat.

One of the most exciting voices in the Bahama Soul Club family so far ... 
an ongoing love affair, Cuban artist Arema Arega is somewhat a permanent feature and once more she confirms this love match with her unique take on this sweet yellow-green part of a god. Sure it will soon be a classic in your library. Promise! We’ve sent some early demos to friends and supporters and wonderful feedback came in the shape of two brilliant remixes. 
Mighty „Club des Belugas“ (anybody knows these guys??) sent an irresistible Bossa Remix, and world famous project „TheEEs“ (Yes these, everybody knows those) just flew in with a sappy Reggae Roll. It is rumored that these guys now turned their back to badly cashed majordeals to sign for a Million dollar deal on Buyú-Records. 
An album release of „TheEEs“ on Buyú will impress you later this year. So watch out!

Jungle Fire - Chalupa!!!!

The Gene Dudley Group represents an outpouring of deep soul and funk music from obscenely talented 27 year-old multi-instrumentalist, Gene Dudley.  

The debut album, “Saturday Shifting”, was recorded in a cupboard in Muswell Hill, North London, and features the man himself on trumpet, saxophone, drums, bass, guitar and piano. On a couple of occasions, though, Gene had to budge over to allow fellow musicians Ewan Whyte and Tom Jackson to fit in a play a solo or two, but other than that, everything you hear on this album comes from the mind, mouth, fingers and heart of Mr. Gene Dudley Esq.

Fans of labels like Truth & Soul and Daptone will relish these sonorous soulful offerings, but the influences on this album are wide ranging. Tracks like “When The Gorilla Get Grip’ and “The New Lots Of Cooperstown” conjure up 60’s spy soundtracks, but elsewhere there are afro-beat influences on “The Hilo Bay Halfway” and more easy, introspective moments on “Minnie” and “Do The Stanley Weinberger”.  Just when you think you’ve got Gene Dudley’s sound pinned down, the album culminates with a real game changer in the shaped of the brilliantly titled “Waxing Unwaxed Lemons”, a quirky, electronic tinged nugget that should please many a dance floor.

In the live arena, rather than trying to play all the instruments himself, Gene deploys a quartet of top notch young musicians to help him out (whilst Gene mixes it up between bass and keys throughout the set) as witnessed at the recent Hot 8 Brass Band gig in London, The Gene Dudley Group’s debut live show.

Since that first outing, the group have played to much acclaim at venues such as London’s XOYO, and will be celebrating the release of “Saturday Shifting” with a live album launch, in support of label mate Henri-Pierre Noel, at The Jazz Café on July 13th. A night, and an album, not to be missed.
