&#13;
RELEASE INFO.&#13;
People have asked, people have been patient, but now people get ready. After snapping up their limited edition 45 singles on Kept Records and Electric Cowbell Records, DJs, funk fans, vinyl heads and instrumental afro-enthusiasts alike will finally be able to lay their hands on a full-length Polyrhythmics platter.&#13;
&#13;
This is a funk record. No suspenders, emotional folksy rock ballads, vocoder or synthesized soul will be found on this release. Multiple-horns, multiple rhythms, and multiple players. This album is a straight-up instrumental attack, where the only voice you hear is the collective force of these eight players hitting all original cuts live and off the floor. Let’s be clear about it: Polyrhythmics are not trying to emulate or recreate something that has already been done. This is not “retro,” or “throwback;” this is music being made together, today in The Now. The raw, fresh and genuine sounds captured on Libra Stripes are an instrumental testament to the universal groove and appeal of funk and afrobeat music, and present a clear call to everyone to get up and occupy the dance floor.&#13;

Polyrhythmics — The Killion Sessions

The new 7-inch from Polyrhythmics dubbed “The Killion Sessions” captures a spirited one-off recording session at the legendary Killion Studios in Hollywood, CA with Sergio Rios (Orgone) behind the console. The resulting capture is a rugged two track banger of a single and the preview to Polyrhythmics upcoming full length release Octagon scheduled to drop in late spring 2015. 

"El Fuego", the A side, is a fiery composition and a true dance floor igniter with focused, driving rhythms and a striking solo by Scott Morning on trumpet. Mixed for heat by Sergio Rios. 

The B side, "The Mendo Mulcher" is the perfect coolness compliment to side A. A deep and heavy wah-wah groove with an uplifting and heady melody, the track was inspired by the relaxed and uplifting culture of the northern California coast and was mixed for maximum potency by the Polyrhythmics own Jason Gray.

KPT - 108B Mendo Mulcher

KPT - 108A El Fuego

A debut single that is a monster and masterful mix of Afro‐funk meets Balkan brass, and with a dash of hip‐hop simmering in the flow.  The a‐side Monmouth is a driving original with razor sharp horns and a rumbling sousaphone bassline, while the flipside is an instrumental brass‐infused cover of Dr. Dre’s Next Episode.  Guaranteed to get bodies moving and to get dancefloors sweaty, consider this 45 to be fresh ammunition for your record box.

Polyrhythmics - Maruken

This is one heavy slab of dirty funk.

The a-side is an absolute BRASS monster of a track titled "Harrow."  A cut that gallops from the first hits of the snare drum to the blaring sounds of horns, ultimately making our aural universe a better place.  The b-side, titled "Nautilus (Hijacked)," is an instrumental cover of sorts, containing recreated hooks from "Nautilus" (Bob James) and "Hijack" (Enoch Light), which were famously sampled by Slick Rick (Children's Story) and The Beatnuts (Watch Out Now) among others.  

BAND INFO:  This is the second 45 on the Kept Records label by Breakdown Brass, young veterans of Brooklyn’s soul and funk scene — its members tour and record with Antibalas, Sharon Jones & the Dap‐Kings,Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, Monophonics, Ikebe Shakedown, Slavic Soul Party & many others



Nautilus (Hijacked)

Harrow

Kept Records proudly presents their label debut, featuring Seattle’s all original 8-piece funk and worldbeat orchestra: Polyrhythmics. “The Imposter,” is a rhythmic afro-funk number packed with so much groove that it is set to kick-off an “occupy the dancefloor” movement. The B-side (“Klompton”) is an equally infectious mover, and clearly showcases the deep and heavy funk of these northwest instrumental beat makers &amp; guaranteed ass-shakers.

The B-side from a new 45 by BROWNOUT

La Raza b/w Arabeesh
Limited 7” / 45rpm single / first 200 units on pearl-white vinyl / standard black also available

An instrumental original that, as the title teases, has some Arab flare.  The recipe for this cut seems to blend a dash of Cairo Jazz Band with and a pinch of desert-psych funk groove, in turn creating a full, slow-burning groove that is sure to mellow and get heads nodding.
