Grace Jones Pull Up To The Bumper Joey Negro Remix

Available on 2CD and Digital from: http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

Following on from the phenomenal success of the recent “Italo House” and “Remixed With Love” compilation plus more Joey Negro compiled albums including “GoGo Get Down”, “Backstreet Brit Funk”, “Destination Boogie” and the ever-popular Soul of Disco series Z Records continues to release high quality compilations filled with lesser known disco, funk and boogie. Now it’s the return of the highly regarded Under The Influence series with Volume Four compiled by Nick The Record.
 
From the slow mo disco of State of Grace’s ‘Touching The Times (Dub)’ to the sun-kissed calypso vibe of Boogsie’s ‘Cant You See Me’, Charlie Mike Sierra’s space-disco on ‘On The Moon’ and the more soulful, funk side such as Betty & Beverly Prudhomme’s ‘Tut Tut Twins (Part One)’ and fun(k) disco of cuts like Ronnie Jones ‘Video Games’ we find Nick The Record’s highly infectious selection getting us once more, under the influence.
 
“My whole life has revolved around records. I was buying Hip Hop and House in the Eighties as it was released and I got heavily into tracing the steps back through breaks and sample sources that were used in Hip Hop records. I also joined the dots between Disco & modern club & House music & spread my music explorations from Rare Groove to rare Disco. There were very few people interested in this vein of music history at the time & even fewer as obsessed as me. So when the re-emergence of Disco exploded I was well ahead of the curve, not only in collecting but historical knowledge. The best thing about record collecting is that it never ends and after 35 years of buying, after 25 years of selling & playing records there is still old stuff to discover & new releases to endeavour to keep up with.”
 
So as something of an expert in all things Disco, Nick gets quite a few offers to release compilations but as a record obsessive his natural hoarding mentality makes him cautious to give up the goods. As anyone who’s been aware of his record selling website www.djfriendy.co.uk over the last 10 years and his paper sales lists (now that’s old school) for more than 10 years preceding, he could easily put together a compilation of the rarest Disco & Boogie 12 inches, and there are, of course, some of those included here but he wanted to share more than that.
 
“I feel this ‘Under The Influence’ series offers the chance to put together a more personal comp, which reflects the many different flavours of my taste & my collection & gives you a feel of my DJ style at the same time.”

This new version of Weekend harks right back to the Phreek original from 1978 with beautiful orchestration, live percussion, subtle electronics and all the other ingredients of the classic disco sound.

Add in a echo heavy dub and you've got a crowd pleaser with more panache than most.

Fibre Foundation "Weekend" (Joey Negro Disco Re-Blend and Dub Time)

You Can Bank On It

Sean McCabe's debut album is available now from the Z SHOP on Gatefold Double LP, CD and Digital

http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

This lush and musical 17-track affair is Sean’s first big solo project and it has been in the works for almost three years. Written mostly in his Bristol studio, the LP features a wealth of international collaborations – Jennifer Wallace, Diane Charlemagne, Renn - and has been made primarily on real hardware such as the Fender Rhodes, SH-09, Juno 106, Poly 61, JV-1010, EMU Vintage Keys and the Moog Slim Phatty.

 

Sean who has been producing since his teens and includes fine labels like US garage staple King Street Sounds, Defected, Strictly Rhythm and Local Talk in his discography says of the album: “It was important for me to get it perfected to my original vision, and to keep that vision throughout was difficult. I’ve literally drawn inspiration from everything that’s influenced me as producer and writer over the years. I always wanted to create something that demonstrates all my tastes in soulful dance music which can be influenced by so many sub genres like Hip Hop, Disco, Jazz, Soul, Deep House, US garage etc. The NuYorican Soul album has always been a benchmark for me in terms of a perfectly constructed album and is something I never get tired of listening to.”

 

Those influences shine though in this fantastically musical and deeply considered album: it bares all the hallmarks of a proper full length that has been built from the ground up with fantastic arrangements, catchy vocals and real song structures.

 

The production values are sky high on this album, and though it might have been a long time in the making, it was worth it, because it categorically proves that now really is Sean McCabe’s time.

ZR deliver yet another hi quality disco house banger that's sure to be responsible for a few clubbers bursting out of toilet cubicles and running straight towards the (already packed) dancefloor with their trousers round their ankles 

"I Can Feel Your Body Rock" has shades of Gary's Gang, Tony Lee and Softhouse Co, though none of those are sampled or stolen from. The JN Club Mix combines boogie bass, 80s electronics, chopped vocals and old school piano for an energetic stormer which has a lot more panache than most. Whilst the Serious Mix is dominated by a big dub wise proto house bassline, live rattling percussion and lots of D Train-esque synth parts.

DJ Reactions:

Dimitri From Paris - Love the Serious Mix
Miguel Migs - Nice release, thanks for the music
Tensnake - Both Extended and Serious mix rock

BRAND BLOODY NEW JOEY NEGRO "I CAN FEEL YOUR BODY ROCK" Z RECORDS

Available now from - http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

Listen to the full Pezzner Remix here - https://www.beatport.com/s/nb8mmcuympil

Featured Mixes:
Candy Coated Perfection (Pezzner Remix)
Candy Coated Perfection (Pezzner Solar Dub)
The Best (DeejayKul Meets Soultechnic Dub Mix)

One of the killer vocal cuts from the Opolopo album, “Candy Coated Perfection” feat. Sacha Williamson gets a stunning revamp from Dave Pezzner. 

There is so much supposedly "deep" house out there at the moment but we feel these remixes really deserve the description. The way he combines the full song with a warm techy bass heavy track works beautifully. 

Also included are 2 more dubwise mixes, an extended mix from Opolopo himself and DeejayKul's rework of "The Best" feat. Colonel Red.

DJ Reactions:

Carl Craig – Enjoyable remixes
Hot Toddy - Great release, all quality, the Pezzner mixes are spot on

Here Comes The Sunburst Band (Fouk Remix)
U Make Me So Hot (Daniel Crawford Remix)
Here Comes The Sunburst Band (Original Mix)

Dutch duo Daniel Leseman & Hans Peeman have only been producing as Fouk since 2014 with their debut release for Outplay Records immediately catching the attention of Boiler Room. An acclaimed remix of Lay-Far for Sweden's Local Talk Records and their Kill Frenzy EP for Detroit Swindle's Heist imprint plus more remixes for the likes of Kraak & Smaak and Razor-n-Tape cemented the duo as ones to watch for the future. Now they deliver a remix for Z Records taking the title track from The Sunburst Band's classic 1998 debut album and giving the bassline driven funk cut an energetic jazzy 4/4 makeover.
 
Daniel Crawford is keyboard player to many a big name including Raphael Saadiq, Mary J Blige and Angie Stone as well as producing and remixing himself. The LA based musician released his debut jazz album titled "Red Pill" in 2012, also producing mix tapes in tribute to J Dilla, Michael Jackson and Fela Kuti catching the ear of the likes of Gilles Peterson. For ZR Daniel reworks another track from the first Sunburst Band debut album, their cover of Barbara Lynn's classic "U Make Me So Hot" giving it a more percussive, bass heavy rework that highlights his imitable keyboard skills.
 

DJ Reactions:

Tensnake - great stuff, all killer
Hot Toddy - Loving Fouk's stuff at the moment and this remix doesn't disappoint
