Prince Fatty is a group put together by producer and engineer Mike Pelanconi, whose credits include Lilly Allen's smash hit Alright Still for Regal/EMI and Little Barrie’s Stand your Ground for Genuine/PIAS. The group was originally formed for the purpose of recording a limited-edition single for Stussy to celebrate their 25th anniversary. The track, titled Nina’s Dance, became an underground smash, enjoying multiple plays on Radio 1, and by popular demand the Mr Bongo label secured Fatty's recording services for a follow up album titled Survival of the Fattest.

Prince Fatty’s sound – delivered in an upbeat, positive and organic funk fashion – is designed to dub your feet with rock steady beats while stimulating brain waves in a jazz-like way. Mixed in an analogue haze of vintage spring reverbs, tape echoes and a custom high grade mixing console, Prince Fatty’s music won’t disappoint lovers of the early 70s dub sound. 

Survival of the Fattest boasts a guest line-up that includes legendary drummer Style Scott from the Roots Radics, Hammond organ by Bubblers from the infamous Ruff Cut Band, Afrobeat star Bukky Leo on sax alongside the Nostalgia 77 horn section and special guest vocals from Little Roy, Winston Francis and Hollie Cook, The Slits’ latest vocalist. 

Little Roy has worked with such reggae greats as Jackie Mittoo, Prince Buster, Lloyd ‘Matador’ Daley, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Studio One and has enjoyed hits with tracks such as Bongo Nyah, Black Bird and Tribal War. Winston Francis for his part is the prodigy of Chuck Bird, the great impresario, writer and performer. Winston has worked with Carlos Malcolm, Derrick, Harriott and Boris Gardiner and recorded at Coxson's infamous Studio One in Jamaica, where he collaborated with foremost reggae artists such as Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and Bob Andy amongst others. He enjoyed success with Mr Fix It and his cover of the Mamas and the Papas' classic California Dreamin', which was Tony Blackburn's ‘Hit Pick of the Week’ on Radio One for two weeks straight.
All of which makes Prince Fatty champion in the Dub Arena.

BCR Radio Episode 045 - Thee Marloes - Nada Indonesia

Brazilian 7" singles (compactos) are often the source of hidden treasures. Those special obscure nuggets that tend to be overlooked and flicked past in shops and flea markets. Carlos Bivar's 'Amargo Amar' is one such find, nestled as a B2 on the end of a four-track 7" EP on Esquema Records from 1978. This seldom-seen slice of Brazilian sunshine is the second single taken from miche’s third With Love compilation on Mr Bongo.

The ZBETO EP is one of only two 7” singles that we are aware of, released by the pianist, singer, and songwriter Carlos Bivar. 'Amargo Amar' starts with the swagger of a ‘70s Blaxploitation soundtrack, transitioning into a loose Brazilian MPB-funk. Floaty keys, uplifting horns, and backing vocals elevate the energy, as Carlos' lyrics ride the groove. This song is a sheer delight and an example of the talented output of independent Brazilian musicians, as equally great and bold as their major label contemporaries.


Amargo Amar

Jimpster & Ash Lauryn - Feel Me - (Freakin Club Mix)

This mix is a humble tribute to the late Ziad Rahbani, the great Lebanese composer, pianist, playwright, and pioneer of Fusion and Oriental Jazz. His voice, raw and unfiltered, spoke truth to power and captured the soul of Lebanon.

You’ll hear glimpses of his vast legacy — music and interview excerpts where he reflects on life, politics, creativity, and love. No mix could ever fully capture his impact, but this is my way of honoring it.

I grew up on my parents’ music, rushing home from school to play funk, disco, hip hop, and Arabic tapes on a Sony CFD-V7 Boombox. One day, my father gave me Houdou’ Nisbi — a cassette I played endlessly. It was unlike anything else: emotional, layered, and deeply rooted in Lebanon’s cultural rhythm.
That’s the power of Ziad — his music holds memory, movement, and meaning.

jazzENIGMATIC is an audio series that explores the dynamism, complexity, and misunderstood beauty of jazz music.

A historically Black art form - and arguably the only truly American music - jazz has too often been reduced to background noise for coffee shops, dinner parties, or elevators. It’s been misunderstood as niche, inaccessible, or reserved for a select few. This series challenges that notion.

An homage and challenge to jazz stereotypes, jazzENIGMATIC invites you to hear jazz as it is: raw, alive, unpredictable. A conversation. An experiment. A rebellion. An embrace.  

Selections in this mix come directly from my personal vinyl collection, carefully chosen to reflect the depth, variety, and spirit of jazz in all its enigmatic resplendence.
