Lovely little tip I got from @sankywashere. Oh oui, les Cocotiers!

Froggy Band "Sous Les Cocotiers" - Plein Watt 7" - France, 1984 - SOLD

One of my favorite songs from that I discovered some years ago. At first I thought it was just another piano bar record, but everything is right here. The production, the lyrics, the sleeve and damn those bubbly synths entering around the middle. Pure bliss. 1 copy only. Be quick!

Kumkwaya

Carol Escoffier "Kumkwaya" - Private LP - France, 1985 - SOLD

Another blind buy that went right. Perfect Italo secret weapon for the club!

Dizzy K Falola brings you on this boogie bomb produced by Tony Okoroji, some amazing songs with popcorn synths, catchy guitar licks, funkyness, drum machines superb lyrics and vocal hooks to dream of. This is one of our favourite Nigerian records ever!

Dizzy K "No Dime" - EMI, Nigeria 1985 - SOLD

One of the extremely hard to find Colombian cumbias out there. This is the Mexican 7" press. Moogy beats working it to the bones.
Cumbia de sal, amor gusto al mar!

Cumbias En Moog "Cumbia de Sal" - Peerless, Mexico 1979

This is probably Magic Teapot's favourite ambient album ever. No kidding here!
A true masterpiece by maestro Haruomi Hosono, which lets you travel through Space, revealing whatever secrets you want to discover.
Lovely copy NM/NM with obi and insert.

Inoyama Land ‎"Glass Chaim" - Yen Records, Japan 1983 - SOLD

Angelic vocals, super tight band, super production and Moog?
"Звездопадs" means "Falling Stars" and here's why!

NM/NM

Эолика "Звездопадs" - LP - Мелодия, Latvia 1980 - SOLD

Master class by Toshifumi. Ambient doesn't get much better than this. After years and years of playing "Chat D'Ete", it's still ear candy.

contact@magicteapotrecords.com

Toshifumi Hinata "異国の女たち" - Alfa LP, Japan 1986 - SOLD

A real beauty produced by maestro Haruomi Hosono. Hammered by some of our preferred guys in the world, Marco Sterk aka Young Marco. 
A must in the record collection. Perfect state, like new.

Apogee & Perigee "逆さ賢人・イーガス" - Yen Records LP, Japan 1984 - SOLD

Great album all through and superproduction with many many beautiful melodies and arrangements. Top!

Ströer Duo "Vietnam" - Mood Records - Germany, 1982 - SOLD

Susana Estrada could not only show her bush in porn movies but also sing. "Gozame ya" was brought out of the unknown, by Psychemagik (amongst others), and there's no doubt in their good taste. 
These 3 songs are our favourites from fantastic production with Susana's porny vocals and lyrics on top. 
Underground classic!

Susana Estrada "Voy Desnuda" - Sauce - Spain, 1981 - SOLD

Susana Estrada "Hagámoslo Juntos" - Sauce - Spain, 1981 - SOLD

Susana Estrada "¡Gózame Ya!" - Sauce - Spain, 1981 - SOLD

Lovely soul funk ballad on the second 7" from this relatively unknown soul act. A bit noisy pressing but hey, that's how it was pressed, innit?

Only one copy!

Ice Water Slim ‎"Supersonic Megatonic Flash" - Hawk Sound Records 7" - US, 196?

Mega hard to find and almost invisible record with this absolute smasher version with spanish lyrics of Pino D'Angio's "Ma Quale Idea!". 
Would even go so far as saying it actually beats the original from Pino.
BOOM!

The Condition "Que Idea!" - Discos Fuentes, Various LP - Ecuador, 1982

A true beauty amongst the beasts. Wonderful tune by this lovely band who also appeared with their other record "Cry Love". 
Sadly enough, the production peaks on the vocals at times, but hey, life's a bitch and then you die!

The Sweet & Innocent and The Memphis Mustangs "Express Your Love Theme" - Active Records - US, 197?

Jazzfunk leftield action by Pete Brandt and his band. We love this song so much 
 with the Arthur Russell vibes all around. Very happy to have this near perfect copy for sale!

Pete Brandt's Method "What You Are" - Fried Egg Records 7", UK, 1980 - SOLD

John Lynch Band's "Move to the beat" is one of these overlooked tunes you immediately think could be reedited sampled or rewinded. But, the more you listen to it, the more your realise it's just a perfect song, just as it is.

John Lynch Band "Move To the Beat" - Bellaphon 7" - Germany, 1984 - SOLD

Extremely hard to find this 12", that has all ingredients of an instant classic. Tip top production and wonderful vocals. We prefer the dub, although the vocal version ain't too bad either!

Moondata "Let the Moonshine In (Dub)" - Bellaphon 12" - Germany, 1984 - SOLD

Ultra clean copy of Moulin Rouge's S/T LP from 1978, including the amazing italo jam "Ljubavni Ritam". 

Pretty hard to find in this condition!

Moulin Rouge "Ljubavni Ritam" - ZKP RTVL LP - Yugoslavia, 1987

Magic Teapot Records is an exclusive online record store in Barcelona, but also a recently launched record label (run by Daniel Baughman— A&R at Hivern Discs, booker at audiophile venue Nica —, Marco Gegenheimer - who releases on Studio Barnhus as MLiR - and Jens Ingelstedt). The DJ duo though is made up of Baughman and Gegenheimer, and when they come together they unleash hidden vinyl gems that get you dancing and romancing. Their sound is one that has a lot to say and draws on steamy tropical delights and intoxicating world music that could be thirty years old or brand new. 

Their mix for us is a 90 minute live recording of them doing what they do best at Nica, namely taking us around the globe on a real adventure that has a sense of musical wanderlust running right through it. There are intimate moments of acoustic heaven bleeding into soft, drunken synths and glorious passages of churning reggae and twinkling disco along the way. It’s music with meaning threaded together by a air of expert curators.

Marco Gegenheimer and Daniel Baughman started Magic Teapot along with Jens Ingelstedt in 2017, relentlessly searching for hidden sounds from all over the world, paired with nutty video snippets through their Instagram account. Currently they have stopped as a record shop (due to lack of time), as they’re both busy with individual projects. Daniel is A&R at Hivern Discs and a booker at Barcelona's newest Audiophile listening bar, Nica. Marco is nowadays focusing on MLiR’s debut album and has several EP’s lined up this year on Studio Barnhus and Local Talk, to mention a few. In a near future, Magic Teapot Records will become a record label, but until then you can catch them playing at Dekmantel Selectors on the 23rd of August. Dani and Marco recorded this mix exploring breezing new age, magic downtempo, amateurish boogie and experimental disco. A phenomenal journey!
