Four years after releasing ‘Exotic Jazz Impressions From Hungary’ Budabeats Records proudly presents another exciting selection of some long forgotten and rare pieces of Hungarian popular music.
This time their focus is on the non-existing soul scene of 70’s Hungary, which, however produced a handful of gems that could have been released anywhere in the world and had not disappointed any soul head of the era. Zsuzsa Cserháti was one of the many tragic figures of Hungarian pop history: a celebrated singer who could never use all her potential because of some shady characters of the monopolistic music industry obstructing her carrier. Her two cuts featured on this 10” are the most interesting ones she ever recorded. ‘Puha Sohajok’ is a sensual but tight soul tune, no other title could describe it better than ‘Soft Sighs’. The producers of her second track on here, ‘Ne Nézz a Napba’ probably had a thing for ‘Les Fleur’ by Charles Stepney and Minnie Riperton but hey, who could blame them? ‘Harangzúgás’ is the sole side Anikó Balikó ever recorded but what a song it is! Mellow mid-tempo soul with a slight disco feeling, unmistakably cool. Kati Bontovics has been a renowned singer in Hungary since the early 70’s known mostly for her jazz tinged works, both on her own and with many different acts. ‘Holnap Megállnak az Órák’ is a groovy orchestral soul tune which we would be right to call a paraphrase of one of the most well-known standards of the genre. Originally all four songs were released on very limited domestic 7” singles only now all of them being obscure and sought after even in Hungary. This is your chance to get them on a strictly limited (300 hand-numbered copies worldwide) 10” single including a one-page color book insert so you can pimp up your copy individually.

Soft Sighs - Female Soul Sounds from Hungary (1973-78) 10" snippets

Beat Records in collaboration with our label presents the lost soundtrack of the legendary maestro Alessandro Alessandroni, previously fully unreleased on all formats. The original score of 1970 action drama movie FORMULA 1: NELL'INFERNO DEL GRAND PRIX aka "MANIACS ON WHEELS" directed by Guido Malatesta, prematurely died at the very young age of 51. 39 minutes of music assembled and remastered from the original 1970 MONO tapes, gloriously brought back to life on a limited edition LP and CD and through all the digital platforms by July 20th. The legendary Maestro Alessandroni here maybe at the most prolific moment of his career as library and soundtrack composer, wrote one of his very first film scores accompained by his loyal choral group I Cantori Moderni. Music is loungy and groovy, perfectly aligned with some of the holy grails composed in the same period (RITMO DELL'INDUSTRIA, A.ALESSANDRONI E IL SUO COMPLESSO, FARFALLA LP etc.) with a wide range of styles and themes. This OST is another remarkable retrieval of the Italian film music not to be missed.

Music composed and arranged by ALESSANDRO ALESSANDRONI
Choir: I Cantori Moderni di A.Alessandroni

Rosie Turton - Part II (STW Premiere)

Selectors Assemble are excited to bring you the premiere of 'CBD Cream' taken from the soon to drop Basement Membrane album on Inner Tribe records! 

A new fresh sound emerges on “Punk Funk” nods to the broken beat mastery of Dego & 4hero, swinging funk rap featuring Atlanta mc Stan smith and psychalic punk funk leanings on the aptly named title track. With Basement Membrane drummer Mike Mitchell aka Blaque Dynamite takes the percussive role. Mike started playing drums at the age of 2 (!), touring with heavy cats such as Kamasi Washington, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and Derrick Hodge, releasingseveral albums as a frontman (which he sings on as well) and apparently those tight grooves had already been running in the veins of his family. Mike's uncle is the incredible Dennis Chambers, who played with people like Don Blackman, Funkadelic, Bernard Wright, Aurra, John Scofield, Santana and many more. The last piece in this powerful puzzle is bass and guitar player Lars Karakusevic, who also co-wrote several of the tracks on this forthcoming album. Beka wrote the rest.

Already receiving steady industry support from the likes of Lefto, selectors assemble, stepping to tomorrow, Mr Scruff and many more this album is cemented already as a future classic.

[PREMIERE] Basement Membrane - CBD Cream

We are excited to share an exclusive slice of modern funk by Grammy-nominated Canadian keys player and producer, Jonny Tobin. "What I Didn't Do" is taken from his forthcoming album 'Together', expected in January 2022.

After releasing the full-length 'Weekends' in 2020 (via Wicked Wax in Amsterdam), and a string of singles, collaborative projects, and EPs in 2021, Jonny Tobin is due to release another full-length solo album, 'Together'. to kick off 2022. Facing isolation and loneliness (as many people in the world did throughout 2020), the album is a collection of tracks that Jonny made to channel negative feelings into something hopeful and forward-looking.

On “What I Didn’t Do”, Jonny features a clip from friend and fellow musician William Chernoff speaking about unrealized potential and some of the negative self-talk that can hold people back.

'Together' represents Jonny’s response to all the tragedy, despair, and grief of the past 2 years - holding space for those emotions but also seeking to provide glimmers of optimism with an almost playful delight, as the compositions encapsulate his bright outlook on the world.

Exclusive Premiere: Jonny Tobin "What I Didn't Do" (Forthcoming Self Release)

This fabled 11 minute+ version of Brazilian icon Joyce's groundbreaking "Feminina" was recorded at Columbia Studios, New York in 1977, for the as yet unreleased Natureza album. Produced, arranged and conducted by the great Claus Ogerman (Frank Sinatra, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Billie Holiday... the list goes on), Natureza would have ostensibly been Joyce's big break to international stardom, but mysteriously, it was never released. With Joyce came fellow Brazilian icon Mauricio Maestro, while Nana Vasconcelos and Tutty Moreno were already living in New York, and Ogerman employed North American jazz legends Joe Farrell, Michael Brecker, Buster Williams, Mike Manieri and a full orchestra for the sessions.

In anticipation of the monumental forthcoming Natureza album release via Far Out Recordings, this astonishing version of a true classic gets its first proper 12" vinyl release for Record Store Day 2022. In the spirit of making the release special for Record Store Day, rather than leave it as a single sided 12", Far Out boss called up Joyce to talk about the recording, recorded the conversation, and got it pressed onto the B-side.

Wondem Remixed
Release date: 11.11.16
Wondem Remixed is a humble compilation of reworkings by some of my colleagues in Los Angeles and the UK. I asked musicians who were already interested or involved in my musical explorations or who lived in a parallel universe. In other words, I didn't force it on a who's who of "remixers" and as a result this body of work has a more organic and personal sense about it. The collection starts with a masterful reimagining by Brainfeeder beat maestro Ras G who has played a couple of shows with us. He took elements from the entire Wondem record and created an Afrikan Space Program classic. Producer and drummer Te'Amir Sweeney plays with the Wondem band and brought his sonic expertise with a crazy ambient remix of Saba. Emerging production collective Stomach Club, whom I met through my good friend and co-producer Carlos Niño one night in Venice, went all-in and vibey on the Somalian-inspired tune Xamar. Carlos himself provided a spirited soundscape featuring tracks from the entire record. International DJ and KCRW.com favorite Jeremy Sole took Lalibela to a new place with his awesome musicality and sensitivity. Prolific trumpeter, Ethio Cali bandleader and arranger Todd Simon did a sublime dub version of one of the more popular tunes on the record Sidet Eskemeche. The compilation is also blessed by an Al Dobson Jr. appearance. He completely flipped Mowa and I am grateful to him. Last but not least are two exceptional perspectives on Merkato Star and Eastern Prayer by our London-based homie Kutmah. 

I am very proud of this Wondem Remixed offering and hope you find some new inspiration for yourself in here. 

Enjoy!
