Ghetto Disco Presents: Mark Grusane

LP/Compilation: IN THE RED / Cat Nr: CHUWANAGA001
The finest Britfunk (1980-1983), selected by @saint-james. Available on November 6th 2017 as vinyl LP with Linernotes on Chuwanaga. Available as Digital as well. 

TRACKLIST:
A1. Equa – In The Red 
A2. Congress – Something That You Got (Real Hot) 
A3. Potion – Catch The Feelin’ (Showstopper) 
B1. Inch By Inch – If It’s Magic (We Don’t Want It) 
B2. Index – Starlight (The Break)
B3. Spookey - Friends

Between the end of the 70's and the early 80's, a new sound appeared in London and its surroundings, a unique mix of Funk, Jazz-Funk and Disco labelled as Britfunk. Characterized by its raw energy that can put the needle In The Red, this up-tempo sound was a match for the UK's dancers and Jazz-Funk clubs.

This first release by French label Chuwanaga features some of the most exciting, rare and powerful tracks from that era compiled by the Parisian DJ and activist Saint-James, with bands such as Equa, Potion, Inch by Inch, Congress, Index and Spookey. It features also an insert with an in-depth focus on this musical era.

These young British musicians were equally inspired by the American Jazz-Funk productions and by Dub music and Reggae pushed by the Afro-Caribbean community who were at the heart of Britfunk’s development. They gave Funk a unique British flavor. However, more than just a music genre or an enclosed expression of black Britishness, it was part of a genuine musical and social movement with its own dedicated labels, fashion sense and most importantly its own set of values that fueled the whole scene. Britfunk built itself within a multicultural evolution: black people, white people, straight and queer, all dancing in the same room to the same loud sound.

Available now at The Pusher Distribution / info@thepusher.fr www.thepusher.fr/thepusherdistribution.html

Notes On A Journey – To Brazil (Celso Rubinstein Inspiration - mixed by Juergen von Knoblauch)

REF: CHUWANAGA006
ARTIST: World Series
TITLE: Try it Out / Head Over Heels
FORMAT: Vinyl 7"
Release Date: July 1st 2019

Tracklist: 

A - Try It Out
B - Head Over Heels

Description: 

Parisian label Chuwanaga curated by Clémentine & Saint-James is really proud to announce his next release: the reissue of an almost forgotten 7" by Britfunk band World Series, bringing together jazz-funk, AOR and a really funky vibe. A perfect fit for summertime.

Like a good recipe, this little beauty actually got all great ingredients: great Rhodes parts, catchy vocals, solid basslines and lovely Moog-esque synthesizer melodies. "Try It Out" brings together a classy AOR-Funk/Soul vibe with a solide funky groove. On the other side, "Head Over Heels" looks more towards proper british Jazz-Funk territories with its uptempo beat and slapped bass.

Back in the days, World Series was a local live band around North London. They used to tour a lot around early 1980’s in and around London in places like the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town, the Production Village in Cricklewood, The Cricketers at the Oval and Dingwalls in Camden. On the same circuit were bands like Cayenne, Gonzalez, Morrissey Mullen and the Breakfast Band to name a few. In 1983, they recorded a session at Woodcray Manor Studios in Berkshirand release  "Try It Out / Head Over Heels" as a 7" single, financing themselves the pressing. They were actually delighted when one reviewer said they were a bit like Level 42 "but with decent vocals". 

Thanks to the original crew, Mike Frankel (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Keith Mawson (Bass), Richard Newell (Drums & Percussion) and Andy Park (Keyboards), Chuwanaga is proud to present you this single with a great artwork from William James Thurman, including also an insert with lyrics and pictures from the band. One not to miss!

A. World Series - Try It Out

The show is a journey through decades of soulful music. It begins with smooth 80's electronic soul then leads into a some gorgeous jazzy soul, lovers rock and killer jazz fusion before using jazz funk band Pleasure to take the show into some early 80s boogie and Italo. This is swiftly followed by early house before mellowing out again with a some jazzy 70's soul. The energy then lifts with some big modern soul floor fillers before finally closing out with a euphoric jazz-disco banger!
