Following up from 2017’s “Tribute To Eddie EP”, a tribute to the late great Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations, Lorca returns with the “Tribute To Larry” EP on a similar tip.

Larry Levan was known for his decade long stint as resident at the legendary Paradise Garage in New York during the 80s. He has since become known as the prototype for modern dance music DJs. His sets were well known for ushering in an electronic, post-disco sound that presaged the ascendance of house music.

It is this sound and era that influences the music of this EP. Taking inspiration from tracks Larry would regularly play in his sets, Lorca brings them in to the now, bringing new life to 2 classic disco/motown cuts that would regularly send the dance floor into a frenzy.

“Larry’s Bomb” takes chops from Dee Dee Bridgewater’s fervent “Bad For Me” taking key elements from an epic 8 minute builder and making them work in a classic four to the floor format. “Look What You Do” follows in a similar fashion but this time loops the belting vocal intro of a Barber Holloway classic under rolling kicks, claps, live guitar and cowbells.

Toy Tonics comes with the first EP by Paul Older. Italian hero of vinyl diggers and maestro of rare edits. Paul is known for doing some of the sickest versions of rare jazz funk and Italian disco around. Played by every important DJ of the scene. Finally, now he did his first „legal“ record. Four mad tracks based on recording of real musicians and bands from the Sonoton catalogue that he reworked legally and created smashing tracks for the dancefloors. This is amazing organic dance music. Live bass, drums, guitars and keyboards... played in a Afro-American vibe turned into modern house and indie dance that will put every dance floor on fire.

Released: 12.07.24

Title: Afrikano Vol.3
Cat.#: SMS036
Format: 12''

Samosa Records dips its toes back into the Afrikano waters with Volume 3 of the Afro themed, genre-busting series and features four deadly tracks from some of Samosa’s most trusted lieutenants.

Breaking the ice as the first track of this exceptional EP is Vincent Galgo and ‘African Rebel’. Mr Galgo has clearly read the brief here – giving us a 125bpm marauder that’s a melting pot of unstoppable horns, furious rhythms and an Afro-pop style bass that is the beating heart of the track.

Track 2 is Samosa regular Frank Virgilio who introduces us to his ‘Mistress’. As a straight up jazz-infused, mid-tempo rhythmic chugger, ‘Mistress’ quickly gets down to the important business of racking up the beats and instrumentation. The generous spread of guitar riffs, assertive bass and organ stabs are expertly lifted by the layered and always rolling drums and bongos induce a trance-like state of mind, so be warned!

On the B-Side Samosa newcomer Casper Leo wears his Tribal heart on his sleeve with the enchanting and utterly captivating jangler - ‘Tom Tom’. You can never have too much Kora guitar and ‘Tom Tom’ has lashings of it, with delicious sprinkles of melodic Marimba – perfect for West African sunsets.

Closing the EP off in style is Afro beats grand master, Lego Edit and the filthy-sexy ‘El Safari’. No other producer can take the essence of the Afro beat structure and bend it to their will like Lego Edit can. Like a late night fist-fight in Club Coco Bongo, ‘El Safari’ punches its way out of the doors. A slinky, wily alley cat of a tune that digs deep with its claws and doesn’t let go and another masterpiece from Lego Edit.

Afrikano Vol.3 has done the impossible and set the bar even higher for this wonderfully diverse Samosa series. We want more. We want ‘4’. With this in your record box, you’ll come with a warning.

Dia-is-co

After storming the global Balearic, Disco and House scenes last year with their first release on Barefoot Beats, the mysterious Brasilian maestros of cut n paste are back once again with two more mighty reworks.
 
Selvagem, who featured on the first release, return again this time with their good amigo Kiko Costato to deliver a top notch slice of dubby, afro influenced, chant infused music that would drive most carnivals absolutely bonkers.
 
Meanwhile over on the flipside, disco afficionados Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take a classic sounding Brasilian number, reconstruct it and work it to the max producing a perfect dance floor moment.
 
Cut on limited edition 10” vinyl for all good music lovers.
 
Viva Barefoot Beats!

Returning from the Italian excursion of Vol. 13 before the U.K. pulls up the proverbial drawbridge, Neil Diablo delivers another To Rack & Ruin winner live and direct from the Northern powerhouse. Showing some love for the finerhalf of the county, Neil presents the best the North East has to offer, enlisting ‘Our friends from the north’Yorkshire's Craig Bratley and Newcastle's James Hadfield to do the damage on this slick split 12".
After a relatively quiet 2016, Mr Bratley shuffles his Magic Feet into the studio and sticks his fist directly into the mainframe, coming back with a pair of strangely psychedelic body movers to decorate the A-side. 'Ani Kuni' bursts out the blocks in a swell of fizzing sequencer, throbbing bass and tonking mid tempo percussion, sparking away wildly like a Tesla toothbrush. An East-meets-West affair, the track marries the thrusting electronics of Krautrock with lightly spiced Indian vocals and hippie guitar licks, conjuring visions of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gurning away at a Faust show. Bratley retains the propulsive percussion for A2 number 'Acid Mother', syncing gurgling synth bass beneath loose funk guitars and warbling lead lines as we're slowly sucked through the wormhole. As the track chugs ceaseless through Baldelli's cosmic terrain, rhythmic chants and rubbery bass solos reverberate through the vacuum, locking us into their other worldly gravity. Resistance is futile.
We head up the A1 for the flipside, hooking up on the toon with Elizabeth Collective mainstay James Hadfield, who serves up two reheated treats tastier than your last parmo! Wielding the white stiletto and sweet sequinned shimmer, Hadfield lets loose his disco juice on "Love And Affection", chucking some dreamy Gamble & Huff vocals over a dope and dusty groove. Crackling like a campfire cookout, this infectious cut spits out slick bass, dubbed out guitar and precise percussion, keeping your body in motion while the piano noodle and soulful vocal swirl through your brainspace. Things take a turn for the technologic on "Silent Builder", those organic disco licks replaced by swelling sine waves, soaring siren calls and military breakbeats. The punchy bassline provides a steady hand as the track gradually pulls itself apart, unravelling into squelching synth wobbles, oddball samples and proggy solos.
Wonderfully wonky, this is music for when the walls start to melt. Four freaky cuts from two top talents - To Rack & Ruin for the win.
