This is one heavy slab of dirty funk.

***first 100 copies on colored vinyl***

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

What do you get when you cross the legendary group harmony of the Impressions, with the savvy production stylings of Daptone’s very own master of ceremonies and guitar dynamo, Binky Griptite?  Easy, you get one of the finest collaborations that has ever been realized onto 7 inches of high quality vinyl. Ladies and gentlemen we present to the greater Daptone Universe, the first single by The Impressions in over 30 Years.  Featuring original members, Fred Cash, Sam Gooden, as well as Reggie Torrian, who has been singing with the group since the early ‘70s – this single is the sweet soulful beauty you’d expect from the Impressions. No cheesy synthetic instruments or tryin-to-stay-contemporary 'beats' here. This is real soul music played by a real band and how sweet it is!

 "Rhythm" the aptly titled A-Side, is a Curtis Mayfield penned tune that was a big hit for Major Lance in the Mid-Sixties. The Impressions revive this classic with their iconic sophisticated harmonies and a new horn arrangement by "The 4th Impression", Johnny Pate himself, that moves the song along at a laid back, yet dance friendly pace. This track is Soul of the highest order.  Get the 45 at www.shopdaptonerecords.com/

Pete Rock says: “I’m gearing up for the release of “Petestrumentals 2” with Mello Music Group. The first single “One, Two, A Few More” is actually a beat I made in 1995 and just sat on for years for the right moment. Now, I get a chance to release this and more new & unreleased music never heard by my fans with Mello. This instrumental LP will inspire the masses in anything you are doing. Just apply P2 to it and get on the road to success.”

A regular octagon is a closed figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has eight lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 8.  

This is no regular octagon.  This is Octagon Pt. 2 

A long, extended jam from the forthcoming Polyrhtyhmics LP, Octagon, a cinematic album that builds on the funk and afrobeat sounds of their previous work with psychedelic layers and fiery rhythms that will continue to get audiences out on the dance floor. 

LP available and ready for your turntable on Friday the 13th! (November, 13, 2015)

Polyrhythmics - Octagon Pt. 2

Hot on the heels of their current album '”Showdown”, The Mighty Mocambos release a new single that shows yet another side of band's musical versatility.

For the heart rending 'Where Do We Go From Here', no other than soul legend Lee Fields takes over the vocal spot, confirming that he is one of the coolest soul cats around.

@smoove-and-turrell are one of the key artists on the label and with three killer albums under their belt, there are plenty of gems to choose from. After digging deep into their catalogue, we felt that this cover of Yazoo’s Don’t Go needed highlighting again. What a tune if we don’t say so ourselves! 

Smoove & Turrell - Don't Go

Skillkid and myself put together this mix for the bgirls and bboys to get down to. We're looking forward to spin Circle Industry this year in Salzburg Austria along side DJ Cosmic. 

Much love to everyone who supports us DJ's, and here is a mixtape finally :)

Nautilus (Hijacked)

Harrow

Menahan Street Band - The Crossing

Ikebe Shakedown, the self-titled album from the Brooklyn-based band, plays with elements of cinematic soul, Afro-funk, deep disco, and boogaloo in all the right ways.  After spending a few years together the group, named after a favorite Nigerian boogie record (and pronounced “ee-KAY-bay”), delivers a driving set of tunes featuring a mighty horn section anchored by tight, deep-pocketed grooves.

“Right now in cities across the globe, there are plenty of great Afrobeat revivalist bands aping the sound and groove of Fela Kuti’s legendary sound.  Yet, surprisingly few of the new groups have strayed from an orthodox interpretation of the genre or done much real innovation…Ikebe Shakedown is here to change that.  The band takes signature Afrobeat elements—big unison horns, slinky bass lines, tight little guitar licks—and blends them with tasty grooves culled from ’70s-style horn-driven funk”. – Marlon Bishop, WNYC

The Ikebe debut for Ubiquity Records sees the band push their globally-informed sound and eclectic approach to tune-writing into new territory. “Self-titling the album is a way to introduce the audience to the many facets of the band — to provide a more complete understanding of what we do,” bassist Vince Chiarito says.  “Our sound has grown to incorporate our influences without overtly representing any one in particular.  It just sounds like us,” he adds.

Most of the rhythm section met at Bard College, and the band rounded-out and officially formed when everyone settled in Brooklyn in 2008.  From there, Ikebe has emerged as a compelling voice on the progressive local scene.  After a run of dates around NYC, the band recorded their debut 7” single and the EP, Hard Steppin’, which was released on Colemine Records in 2009,receiving high praise from critics and fans alike.  The group was invited to record at Dunham Studios with producer Tom Brenneck and at Killion Sound in Los Angeles, home of engineer Sergio Rios of fellow Ubiquity act, Orgone.  “The studios share a lot of similarities — the tracks were all cut live to tape with minimal use of headphones and overdubs.  This basic approach allowed us to dig in and really focus on getting dynamic performances,” Chiarito explains.

The old school mentality to recording spills over in lush, laid-back, and soulful funk joints like “Kumasi Walk” and “No Name Bar,” where the multi-layered horn section plays off a cavernous backing track of slick drumming, spacey Hammond organ, and nimble guitar riffing.  The cinematic soul sound is warm and deep, with the 7-piece band sounding more like a larger ensemble as increasing layers leap from the tape.  At the other end of the BPM counter, on “Tunjunga,” the band build a gritty African disco jam boasting a floor-filling percussion section, adding seductive guitar licks and an irresistible bass-line to set the horns ablaze. “Tame The Beats” is pure fire — bold melodies and heavy rhythms propel the song, with Meters-esque breakdowns providing only brief respite from the action.

Before my next mix of newer material I wanted to make the first in a series of Classics mixes. These are the breaks that I remember being played all the time in the early 2000's. Some of them are straight up bboy anthems. Leacy, Dadeo, Geometrix and local radio DJ's had a big impact on what I play in this mix. To me, these sounds were everywhere and I wanted to bring that vibe back for the newer generation who might not know these breaks as well. Thank you to everyone who's supported me and believed in me. I can't wait to spin this stuff for all of you, live! One love.     Lastly, if you want me to keep making mixes for free donate :) Paypal me: sfleg1@yahoo.com
