FAB SAMPERI - 'Power Bossa'
AR 017 CD | cd & digital

Agogo Records - LC 15656

'Power Bossa' is the introduction to Fab Samperi's definition of a boombastic jazz style. Fearlessly and creatively picking up inspiration from the golden decades of classic rhythm & blues, latin, hip-hop and soul Sicily's most prolific producer releases his first full album:
'Power Bossa' and what a powerful statement it really is. Fab Samperi recorded the album in as many as six countries. While kicking off with 'In The River', playlisted on the BBC and sealed by Craig Charles featuring the man Samperi himself on flute (yes, he is a well-studied multi-instrumentalist playing keyboards, drums, guitars and brass!) the mighty John Turrell from Newcastle England puts his distinctive northern soul voice on 'Everyman'. Samperi's close connection to Smoove & Turrell is no coincidence. With their organic approach to the music they love this is a natural connection. Bella Wagner from Vienna, vocalist on 'Stand Back', already recorded with Patrick Pulsinger and Bahama Soul Club. Jonnathan Molina on the other hand is a new face on the block. His voice for 'Listen Up' keeps the fire burning with an authentic soul twist.
'Red Bossa' is a liaison with Mattew Rasbash aka Spasmo, an English producer with an incredible knowledge of cinematic jazz, dramatic bossa and obscure jazz-rock. Holding the pace but adding a breathless rap flavour to 'Brand New Day' Joelistics aka Joel Ma of the Australian TZU crew takes us back to the age when hip-hop was what it all was about: lyrical vitality, an open mind and pure energy. The instrumental version of 'Alcoholic Drinks' is a trip way back into Fab Samperi's history, but it still sounds fresh today. It blends nicely into 'Jazz Di Mezzaluna', an authentic piece of Mediterranean Jazz featuring a solo by Andrea Beneventano, one of the national top players on the piano. Rounding up this jazz intermezzo on 'Power Bossa' is 'Spaghetti Samba', Samperi's early single on Record Kicks featuring the vocals of Igor Gazatti aka Zion from Recife in Brazil. Soul brother John Turrell makes his return on 'Heaven Sent', again this was recorded with Smoove at his Ashbrooke Castle studios in downtown Newcastle.
'BB Funk' kicks in with a haunting bass line courtesy of the man Fab Samperi himself: 'People think there is a lot of sampling in my music, but it is not. This bassline, for example, was played and written completely by myself.' And while Samperi is not only an expert musician himself, he is also busy remixing tunes for other artists. The French freakbeat of 'Papillonne Sur Moi' is an example of his recent output, commissioned by fellow Italians Montefiori Cocktail & In-Grid.
Closing the album Samperi reunites with Andrew Donikian aka Diamond Poet and revives the Outbound era with 'When I Wake Up.' The music may have evolved since then, but the message in Fab Samperi's music has not: 'The message behind it is that I believe in a multicultural world, where people can live their lives in peace, with no racism, and no war.' This statement is as simple as it is true: Peace, love, unity and having bossa!

Who likes smoke machines? Everyone likes smoke machines! New York's Ursula 1000 teams up with MC bcap to deliver an ode to this glorious device. Wait, are we talking about dry ice? Yeah… sure! Ursula 1000 is a longtime Fort Knox Five collaborator, both in the studio and in the DJ booth. After releasing six albums and taking his eclectic dance sound around the globe, we are proud to feature Ursula 1000’s first single on Fort Knox Recordings.

Smoke Machine features vocalist bcap whose lyrics and soul are fused with a futuristic electro groove. Ursula 1000’s original mix is a quirky, synth-laden house stomper that takes you on a sleazy, sinister beat trip where bcap spits out the lyrical while keeping it mystical. Label bosses Fort Knox Five do what they do best and funk this sucker up. The result is a breaky, g-house vibe complete with pitched up and down vocals and trap fills. Qdup delivers a bombastic modern flip on old school breaks using electro toms, lasers and 808 booms. Completing the single is Whiskey Pickle's RiCHARD.GEAR who tweaks Smoke Machine into a techy, dark-house Dirtybird monster.

Beatport Exclusive Release Date - Tuesday September 15th
Worldwide Release Date - Tuesday September 29th

Written and produced by Alex Gimeno and Brian Capobianchi 
Mastered by Tom Coveney of Psychemagik

Smokey Bandits - Holidays In The Sun (Pushin Wood Remix)

Review:
The mysterious Belabouche is back after top releases on the likes of Paper Disco, OBM Rec. and Thunder Jam in recent times. For Katakana Edits' 64th edition, he serves up a bunch of respectful edits here optimsed for maximum dancefloor potential. First up is "Sneakin Up Behind You" and indeed its groove certainly will in super lo-slung fashion. Some deep down and dirty funk action awaits you on the sexy-sleazy "Once You Get It" and prepare to venture into the exotic on the sultry latin action of "O Preguicoso" featuring some mad rhythms.

To celebrate this milestone, Fort Knox Five have selected 15 of their favorite original tracks from the entire decade.

Fort Knox Five has had the pleasure of collaborating with some incredible vocalists who are well represented on this collection. Mustafa Akbar of Thunderball and Nappy Riddem is featured on several tracks, as are Rootz and Zeebo of See-I and Thievery Corporation. The Godfather of Electro Funk himself, Afrika Bambaataa is featured on two tracks. Asheru, best known for his Boondocks theme song is on the opening track. Thievery Corporation’s dancehall voice, Sleepy Wonder as well as DC’s own DIY legend Ian Svenonius are both featured. The list continues with former US3 front-man and prolific artist Akil Dasan and the Zulu Nation’s King Kamonzi. Rounding out the list of featured vocalists is Beta-G, on loan from the US Department of Bhangra.

This body of music not only spans 10 years of Fort Knox Five in the studio, but also live performances and dj appearances worldwide. This music has been performed and played for countless thousands of fans around the globe. These tunes have also been heard in such great movies as The Cove (2010 Academy Award Winner), Stand Up Guys and You Again as well as TV shows like The Fringe. No stranger to the wide world of video games, Fort Knox Five songs have appeared on Need For Speed: Shift, Skate It, NBA Live 10, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Dirt 3, Sims and others.

10 Years of Fort Knox Five shows the music diversity of the group with one foot firmly planted in funk. Reggae and dub can be heard clearly alongside hip-hop. The group is not afraid to break boundaries and delve into rock, swing and even bhangra in their musical explorations. This collection of music represents the last decade of Fort Knox Five’s musical growth and development.
