"The Offering" is the lead-off track on Ikebe Shakedown's much anticipated sophomore album "Stone By Stone". With their limited press 45 "The Beast b/w Road Song" selling out a few months after release and the Tujunga Remixes single with Brennan Green continuing to be a hot seller, the release of the new record could not come at a better time.

After 4 years in the making finally a new chapter of RK's premier collection Let's BOOGALOO sees the light. This time legendary compiler Dean Rudland, who is responsible of dozens of wicked compilations on BGP, Kent and Blue Note, digs deep into - mythical NYC latin boogaloo producer - Bobby Marin's catalogue to bring you an explosive collection of (northern) soul, deep funk and latin jazz tunes from Spanish Harlem aka El Barrio. Bobby Marin has been one of the main contributors and a leading figure behind the latin Boogaloo movement in the mid 60s in New York producing and working close together with stars such us Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Machito, Riccardo Marrero, not to mention his own combo the legendary Latin Blues Band, recently sampled by DJ Premier as the hook to Christina Aguilera's 'Ain't No Other Man'. "

As Rudland reckons "Bobby is part of a crowd that have sometimes been overlooked because they weren't central to the Fania Records story, but the music they produced told a truer story of what was going on on the streets of New York than the internationalist world view that was propagated by that label's owner Jerry Massuci" So expect to find here the real stuff,an all killers no fillers selection of rare and impossible to find latin boogaloo singles from Bobby's vaults, including some previously unreleased tracks taken directly from master tapes such us Richie's Theme byRichie & the PS 54 Schooly. A bright sampler of the golden age of the one of the most Infectious music genre ever recorded. Compilation comes with extensive liner notes by Mr.Rudland, for instance did you know that's Bobby's older brother Richie is the responsible for producing Manny Corchado's boogaloo stormer Pow Wow? ... essential collection, play it loud!

Kerbside Collection's debut jazz funk and rare groove LP „Mind the Curb“ (released May 2013 on Légère Recordings) gets the remix, rework and re-use treatment with a variety of re-interpretations from fellow Aussie and international friends with everything from dubby-pacific-nu disco, analogue breaks and beats to balearic Japanese nu jazz.

Brisbane beatsmith Blunted Stylus (Geoff Blunted/Jigzaw Geoff/Ex Resin Dogs) kicks off the release with a heavy low slung, analogue, jazzy, b-boy breakbeat remix of „Jelly Belly“. Another living legend of the Australian scene – Ennio Styles (Stylin' radio show/Melbourne) completely flips „Sweet like Nectar“ into an uptempo lo-fi, live disco- boogie, dancefloor shaker. Japanese Dj and producer Chikashi Nishiwaki continues his remix love affair with Aussie groups and delivers a balearic re-make of „41 Bernhard“, teaming up with some friends to create a beautiful crossover piece fusing nu jazz, bossa and breaks flavours.

Next up is another Aussie producer on the make - Billy Hoyle (Melbourne). He cooks up a smooth, jazzy, laid-back, melodic head nod hip hop rework of Red Stripe, chopping things up 'MPC/Boom Bap' style for fans of the true school, funky hip hop flavours. Renegades of Jazz hits us with the fat, b-boy breaks flavour on the remix of 'Cat Whip', complete with acid bass line, synths and congas for extra dancefloor pressure. Another legendary Brisbane Dj/MC/producer Two Dee, gives us his pacific flavoured, dubby, disco-house remix of „41 Bernhard“ – turning the rhodes into a skank rhythm sitting ontop of a shuffling disco beat - reflecting the warm, tropical, beach side atmosphere of the Australian Pacific Coast. The JNBO 'Gone Sour' rework of „Sweet Like Nectar“ is the mastermind of Henry Jenkins (bass player for college funk and soul sensations - The Cactus Channel and Karate Boogaloo/Hope Street Recordings Melbourne).

Kerbside Collection's drummer Paprika serves up two re-works. For the first one he re bumps „41 Bernhard“ into a more contemporary low slung hip hop/nu soul territory. The second remix (originally released as a bonus on the Mind the Curb disc) is a bossa re-bump of „Red Stripe“ – giving the reggae flavoured track a more swingin' jazzier sound.

A limited edition 12inch vinyl single with selected tracks from this digital release will be available in specialist shops.

Another living legend of the Australian scene – Ennio Styles (Stylin' radio show/Melbourne) completely flips 'Sweet like Nectar' into an uptempo lo-fi, live disco- boogie, dancefloor shaker complete with flute, extra keys, samples and horns (99% of the parts picked from Legere's back catalogue!). The track kicks off with a gritty live disco groove and re-appropriated guitar and bass licks from the original track, then some funky synth clav, gradually building as all the elements get added, before the soaring Brass section take you to the finish line. For fans of Cro Magnon and Todd Terje.

Ennio is a legendary tastemaker and DJ, not only in his home city and country of Melbourne/ Australia, but also worldwide – with his reputable, regular chart (back in the day) for legendary Straight No Chaser magazine, remixes on labels such as Raw Fusion, Irma, Compost and Far Out recordings, comps such as the ground breaking 'Other Worldly Fusions' CD (alongside fellow DJ and enthusiast Kano/Red Bull Music Academy), and his long running radio show on one of Australia's biggest community radio stations (3RRR) clocking up over 600 episodes – uncovering talented musicians, bedroom beatsmiths and independent releases attracting worldwide support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Mad Mats. www.soundcloud.com/enniostyles <http://www.soundcloud.com/enniostyles>

Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - PIMP - BC027-45 - Side A

The Meltdown. It’s a bold, brassy, twangy steam train of bumping backbeats and swinging shuffles. Then there’s that voice. Sweet as honey. The voice is soul, but it’s country too and something else indefinable; like you heard it before but don’t know where… Introducing Better Days, The Meltdown’s first release on HopeStreet Recordings.

There’s a fair chance you haven’t heard that voice before, because for the last few years Simon Burke has been flying small planes out of small airfields in the dusty backcountry and taking refuge from the hustle and grind of the music business to raise a young family. The time off has been fruitful. A lifetime of writing and experience is condensed into a golden set of songs and a killer new band, The Meltdown, which Simon formed in collaboration with saxophonist and arranger Lachlan McLean. Great vibe, great players, great sound, but it’s the songs that are king here.

There are a lot of soul revival bands around, but the Meltdown’s angle is different  – Simon and Lachlan are both pretty country and The Meltdown has more than a bit of that Ray Charles country via gospel thing, and a taste of dirty blues in it too. Echoes of towns like Euroa and Avenel, where the boys blew in from, or just artistic license? Either way, if there’s one thing that soul and country can both do for you, it’s songs about heartbreak, so here’s some rippers. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you the inimitable voice and songwriting of Mr Simon Burke. And yes, in advance, you’re welcome.

Combining traditional African rhythmic textures with melodies and grooves steeped in American funk, soul, and jazz, Ikebe Shakedown offers a unique and powerful sound. The 8-piece, Brooklyn-based band formed in early 2009 and, after a slew of dates around NYC, recorded their debut 7” single and EP, Hard Steppin', at Dunham Studios (home of Menahan Street Band, Budos Band, Charles Bradley and more). The 5-track offering, released on Colemine Records, received high praise from critics, fans, and distributors.
