Uhhh... Feel the Time Traveler... Old Disco School Night... " Body Rock " ‼︎

Vinyl and digital in stores June 11th

'Whodamanny lands on the flip and takes the original to moonbase five via Studio 54. Tempos are reduced as a path of cosmic laser-funk is taken by the amazingly versatile Naples producer. A cracking close to a 7” that packs a real punch.'

Premiere: Daniel Monaco - Tu Sei Pazza (Whodamanny Reinterpretation)

For their next release, Leng Records are offering-up something a little bit different: a 12” compilation of little-known and hard-to-find Balearic gems selected by friend of the label Paul Beckett.

Plucked from the dusty corners of his collection, the five tracks on show are musically rich excursions that effortlessly blur the boundaries between genres and will sound especially perfect on a humid Mediterranean or Adriatic afternoon.

First up is The Ray & John’s languid, disco-tinged ‘Day By Day (Instrumental)’, which originally featured on the flipside of the Italian duo’s sole single from 1984. Rich in rubbery bass guitar, sequenced synth-bass, sharp disco guitar licks and occasional chanted vocals, it sounds like Please-era Pet Shop Boys reclining at a Rimini pool party.

It’s followed by Angel’o’s ‘Angelo’, a turn-of-the-80s gem picked from the band’s long-forgotten album, Dream Machine. Marked out by warming electric piano motifs, squelchy synth-bass and hazy lead vocals, the track successfully mixes krautrock and space rock sounds with the then fresh sound of synth-pop.

Next up is All Trouvee’s ‘Darling’, a thoroughly overlooked 1987 single whose minimalistic sleeve artwork lists each of the now-classic – and then cutting edge – synthesizers used to make the sun-soaked blend of mid-80s synth disco, AOR pop and sunset-ready jazz-funk piano solos.

Equally impactful is Angel’s ‘Tomorrow Night’, a little-known chunk of glossy, laidback synth-pop. Its’ sound of delayed drums, synth-horns, Nile Rodgers style guitar licks and echoing lead lines was actually far sighted for the time but would become more familiar to listeners as synth-pop boomed in the mid 1980s.

Rounding off the package is ‘Feeling Action’ by Eggs Time, a deliciously warm and woozy chunk of Italian pop/West Coast jazz-rock fusion plucked from a real slice of buried treasure: an Italian compilation called Moby Dick. There’s certainly a tinge of both yacht rock and blue-eyed soul about the tracks blend of FM synth sounds, eyes-closed jazz guitar solos, unfussy beats and sweet female vocals.

It provides a fittingly horizontal finish to a collection packed with long-overlooked, sun-baked treats.

It took a long time to get this one done and we really had to wait a while for this drop. But it’s finally here and it blows our minds and souls.

KALAKUTA SOUL RECORDS come with a series of releases and new gems that surely will keep this year quite busy. After Al Kent’s killer joint that went by the title „Love & Care“, it’s Cuttlefish & Asparagus who once again deliver a strong three tracker made to work the hell out of every imaginable sound system. 

Mainly known for their unforgettable work on Black Sun’s self-titled epic track, Atlantis’ Cuttlefish & Asparagus deliver an A side that couldn’t work any hip harder. With a sound spectrum wider than the panama canal Hang On In There is guaranteed to turn any straight cut jeans into glossy orange bell bottoms and any mirror into a disco ball. 

On the B side Cuttlefish & Asparagus work out one of the most essential soul joints that always made you wonder why songs couldn’t play forever. Meticulously edited without changing the filth of the unique bassline, Loving You is a wild stomper made to immediately fill or blast any imaginable dance floor. 

And to adequatly close this drop, Drum Song transports the deep spirit of the crew behind KALAKUTA SOUL RECORDS who’s always after music they love to dance their asses off to. A Tropical bliss.   


B1 Cuttlefish & Asparagus Lovin You [KKS003]

This EP features edits by Bottin, Sleazy McQueen, Albion, The Ivory Boy and Avanti. All tracks are edits from obscure Italian songs released between 1974 and 1980. 
Comes in a handmade jacket, limited pressing. 

Reviews:
Picadelly Records: Red hot batch of Italian edits including a sweet Bottin rework of Loredana Berte's "Ti Piacerebbe", the original of which currently changes hand for over £100 on the second hand market

Juno: If you're going to launch a new re-edit series, it's probably wise to get some big hitters on board. That's certainly what the people behind Theme From Kaffe have done for their debut offering. Italian heavyweights Bottin lead the way with "Ora La So", a lo-slung, Clavinet-heavy chunk of dirty Balearica blessed with sleazy, whispered vocals. Sleazy McQueen continues the eccentric theme with the chugging reggae-disco bounce of "Back To Hell", before Albion ups the tempo on the dusty, vocoder-laden wonky disco chug of "Experimento". An excellent EP concludes with the sprawling soundtrack disco of Ivory Boy's "Mare" and "Bright Mezcal" by Avanti, a curiously bumpin chunk of dub disco weirdness blessed with alien synths and a brilliantly rubbery bassline.

Obscure private press from Sarasota and from a band that apparently  played at this restaurant called "The Patio". We ask ourselves if it's some Alien playing the crazy synth solo that touches perfection!

Love me right - Extended Vocal Version

Zodyaco is back, after the debut self titled album (EAS019), exploring new approaches of its Mediterranean sound, with a new single and two different versions of “Caucciù”, delineating the shape of its “Neapolitan melodic disco from the slopes of Vesuvius”.
As usual for the label more about the music and the imagery behind it is told by the artwork, a double sided cover, strongly inspired by some of the most hidden and suggestive spots in the magical island of Capri, Damecuta and la Migliera .
Intimate and intense or exuberant and sensual, depends from which prospective you look at the sea.

Nebraska’s ninth release on his Friends & Relations label presents further explorations of his ‘old records spun in new directions’ ethos. Opener ‘Deep Tune’ places a classic Memphis soul-man monologue in a new, resonant, percussively hypnotic setting. ‘Drum Track 01’ is spacious dub workout, all bass, drum and atmospherics. Side B brings us ‘Shift’; tranced-out 80s soul examined in microscopic detail. ‘Drum Track 02’ is a reframing of a crackly, wild percussion workout with dive-bombing bass drops. 

As per previous F&R releases, this is limited to 300 copies on vinyl and is available from 20th July.
