Nhu de ped bia - Nos criola (Larry SKG Bootleg)

"Opolopo, renowned remixer and producer is the man who put his stamp on the recent big club version of Gregory Porters' 1960 What? And his exclusive remix of Treat You for this single is utter class, putting the emphasis on the contemporary dance floor tip without losing any of the originals soul or integrity. One of Omar's favourite remixes of his new material, Opolopo shows us why he is the man of the moment when it comes to bringing a fresh perspective to the great voices of modern soul and jazz."

"Octopus Blues" On Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show 04 October 2014

Brazilian trio Shaka release their worldwide debut EP 'Spacefunk' on UK  pioneer label Freshly Squeezed. What do you think?

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW: https://freshlysqueezedmusic.bandcamp.com/album/flash-city

OUT NOW on:

Direct from the plush exotica of São Paulo on the Brazilian east coast comes this minimal electronic offering that is hard to pigeon-hole but never-the-less reflects the colourful life beside the 21st century Atlantic Rainforest. 

Soulful vocals, tasty guitar licks and honky tonk piano riffs share space with glitchy drum beats, fat bass lines and warped synths - all cut up, shuffled around and moulded back together again into a brilliant and uniquely different but coherent sound. We at Freshly Squeezed really believe this new production team are ‘ones-to-watch' and are really excited to see how they develop. We are confident you will find their debut EP a real grower… and stay tuned for the surprise closer, 'Am I Wrong' (available only as part of the bundle on Bandcamp)… are we wrong? I don’t think so! 

EP Track Listing:
1) Spacefunk
2) Crumble
3) Freedom
4) Boogie

Joy And Pain

lanza su sombra al pavimento
–interminable cinta–
como sólo ella sabe.
La sombra crece, se estira allá, muy lejos,
y alcanza la otra orilla;
luego viene y me cuenta
o, si no,

The City And She (Dj Neber Special Track)

Johnny Harrys - Stepping Stones (Sans Groove Retouch)

Tropical heavyweight and Bastard Jazz signing Captain Planet give his own unique take on the track. Taking all the essential elements of the original and re-working them into something entirely new, it’s a remix that does everything a remix should whilst remaining full of surprises. Lifting the characteristic vocals and guitars of its a-side counterpart and placing them against downtempo boogaloo percussion, a warm double bass b-line, quirky whistles and subtle organs, the track opens at a deceptively laid back pace. One of the Captain’s trademark breakdowns leads to a dramatic shift of pace introducing a punchy double time drum track that is drum & bass and boogaloo in equal parts. The result is a remix which compliments the original perfectly with an infectious blend of tradition and contemporary dancefloor sensibility. USA meets London via Latin America!
