I Just Gotta Say (Mark Wayward Edit)

The second single to be taken from a much anticipated second volume of ‘É Soul Cultura’, curated by Luke Unabomber. The compilation follows on from where Vol.1 left off, at times venturing into the deeper, spiritual, soulful, downtempo, experimental aspects of his tastes. New, old, rare and under-discovered music from around the world, woven together in Luke’s unique style.

Showing Luke’s sweeter side, this beautiful slice of super-rare soul has been on many collector’s wants list for years. It is a sublime cover of Minnie Riperton’s ‘Baby, This Love I Have’ and was recorded very shortly after Minnie’s passing. Avis gathered together some of the finest musicians in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, including the late great bass player Rick Rigsby, and put her unique stamp on a soul classic. 

The double vinyl LP comes in a gatefold sleeve, Obi strip, and includes a limited edition fanzine written by Luke. Also available on CD and digital.

Released on 09th June / available to pre-order now.

Avis - Baby, This Love I Have

"Rhythm's Got Soul" bursts through the stratosphere all frequencies blazing, treating the listener to pitched horns, filtered drums, those sultry Asabi vocals, reinforced by the everlasting bass from Andrew 'Bigfoot' Leslie. Momentum steps up with the rhythm guitar of Dave VHS, accompanied with vamp keys and hectic percussion.
The SOULICITORS are the band on this release sitting in the groove, syncopated and loose after the MPC4000 sample treatment, a sort of new paradigm of band-samples soul-fusion exploration!

Rhythm's Got Soul is the highly anticipated collaboration between the renowned singer/ songwriter Asabi Goodman, and producer/arranger Geoff Boardman A.K.A. Blunted Stylus. The combined impact of supreme vocals and powerhouse production, brings authority and intrigue to the dance floor; their key to enhancing an ever-expanding musical soundscape.


Rhythm's Got Soul has "groove and style" reminiscent of the back-to-back, wall-to-wall packed dancefloors of the fever-pitched disco era, steady spinning in at 115 BPM.

The Brisbane based artists bring original songs and compositions realised with collaborative efforts of the close creative community. The musician's recordings and sessions audio from  K-Rasta Studio Brisbane, was tracked, (sometimes sampled), arranged and mixed, at the Hangmad Productions house by Geoff Boardman, resulting in a fresh new emerging sound.  
 
Asabi is an American born, Australian entertainer consistently performing in stage and screen productions, and touring with bands and Broadway musicals (Hairspray! The Musical, CHICAGO). 
Asabi's vocal ability effortlessly elevates from 'sweet and soulful' to 'commanding and powerful', all the while showing unmistakably that her passion for the audience, and respect for the song is at the heart of every performance.

Geoff is an Australian producer, avid record collector, and co-founder of the ground breaking sample-funk group the 'RESIN DOGS' (1996-2005).
From the days of cutting his teeth in mixtapes and community radio at 4ZZZ in 1988 (arguably the golden era of hip hop), plus four Jazz-funk sample albums under his belt, 'Rhythm's Got Soul' arrives cued-up ready! The track highlights Geoff's ability to blend his time proven sample ethic into a resonating dynamic disco experience.

Happy birthday Charles Stepney! Here is a little mix we did back in 2007 which we think might give a little insight in the enormous creative output of the genius behind Minnie Ripperton / The Dells / Earth, Wind & Fire / Rotary Connection and many more.
