Production heroes Moodymann and Kenny Dope revisit one of electronic music’s foundation records, Rude Movements by SunPalace, with brand new remixes issued on BBE Music’s vinyl-only offshoot imprint ALIM.

Presented on strictly limited 7” vinyl, Moodymann and Kenny Dope pay tribute to a New York Loft classic first made famous by David Mancuso, which strongly influenced both artists early in their careers, as well as helping to shape the early House Music movement in the hands of Larry Levan, Nicky Siano, Frankie Knuckles and Danny Krivit among many others.

Two of the modern electronic scene’s most consistent innovators and elevators, Moodymann and Kenny Dope were selected by SunPalace producer Mike Collins himself to rework the track. Sadly, Mike passed away in late 2018 before either version was completed, but as a fan of both artists, we’re sure Mike would have been excited by both of these loving and reverent revisions to his iconic work.

Recorded in 1981s at Mike’s home studio in London, ‘Rude Movements’ was originally released as the B-Side to a track called ‘Winning’. A true Brit-funk oddity, the track’s improvised nature and lack of vocal hooks initially consigned it to obscurity, until its pristine sonics and irrepressible groove caught the ear of David Mancuso and he presented it at his already influential Loft Party.

Moodymann’s remix retains the ‘jammed’ feel of Rude Movements, introducing stellar flute, sax and piano solos over the groove, while remaining utterly faithful to the original vibe.

Kenny Dope’s ‘Dancefloor Powder’ version adds a vintage Afro-Latin drum break into the mix, while showcasing the original’s epic synth solo.

A deluxe double vinyl package containing extended versions of these remixes, plus several more, is planned for release on BBE Music in 2021.

Arp Frique is back, delivering four dance floor ready cuts in his signature style. 'Minina Bem Li' is loosely based on Arp Frique’s Cape Verdean connection through Rotterdam and Americo Brito, echoing the spacey 70s sounds of some of his favorite music, this time also with a big role on vocals for Mariseya aka Marissa Nyamekye. Expect dancefloor favorites with a thriving zouk flow and arpeggiated synths.

Recorded during a short week-end in Paris, it is the result of a true collaboration by a team of musicians who wanted to bring a modern twist to a classic and timeless sound, staying true to the original late seventies/early eigthies dance music spirit and the passion of Chuwanaga for the original Britfunk.

On bass, you’ll hear Lester Batchelor aka LB from Atmosfear, the legendary British Jazz-Funk band best known for their En Transe LP and the classic track « Dancing In Outerspace ». Killing it on the drums, Roy Mistry is their 2020 official drummer. Recording together in Studio Delta, with Koji playing almost all the other instruments, from keys to guitars to percussions, they all had a blast collaborating on these two new tracks. Add a blazing Rhodes solo by Jean-Michel Bernard on « Maloja Pass », some precious magic from producers Seiji Ono & Saint-James, a great dose of savoir-faire by sound engineer David Cukier aka Greita (Disques Flegon)… And you end up with two killer tunes ready to blast their way through your speakers.

On both tracks, you’ll immediately recognize Koji Ono’s touch – as found on his previous Incognito EP : simple but uplifting melodies on synthetizers, sparkling guitars and a certain playfulness in the arrangements. On side A, « Ricochet » sounds like an irresistible mid-tempo boogie banger. On B side, the uptempo « Maloja Pass » is faster paced and bursts with energy, giving the listener an irresistible urge to travel endlessly through the night.

Back in September we've had the pleasure to be invited to play for a Listening Session at Café Mancuso in Bordeaux. Sweet place, sweet food, sweet people. A proper audiophile soundsystem, a pair of mk2's and a 2 channel Bozak mixer was all we needed, here's the 5+ hours recording!

MIMS is excited to premiere a brilliant Breakplus remix of "Luxette" by Mr Beatnick, a highlight from his recent 'Honeycomb' album on Mythstery Records.

At MIMS we were big fans of 'Honeycomb', released this summer. Following its release, Mr Beatnick has had an impressive and varied group of friends tackle the same songs, including fellow MIMS faves Hector Plimmer, Ikonika, and Om Unit. 

One of favourite remixes though, had to be from fellow Mythstery signing Breakplus, who delivers a lush live instrument replay of Luxette, augmented with the reeds of Ben Hadwen (Emanative, Ibibio Sound Machine), that accentuates the original's broken rhythm. 

Check out the full release on 18th December, and in the meantime, enjoy the Breakplus remix of Luxette.

Mole Audio’s latest release features four artists that probably couldn’t be more different. ‘Relevant Movement’ sees the label invite duo Turmspringer from Berlin on Wax who have left an everlasting imprint in the musical landscape for almost 20 years now with their diverse sets holding residencies in major places like Bar 25, Sisyphos, or Golden Gate..Title track, ‘Relevant Movement’ kicks off the EP with resounding kicks reverberating around the low frequency, hypnotic textures and meditative atmospheres, before legend of the dub music game and founder of the renowned Ariwa Sounds Neil Fraser aka Mad Professor drops an enticing remix featuring organic percussion, echoing dub fx and a warm, capturing bass line transporting you to another dimension. On the flip, ‘Cuttin Edges’ offers up rhythmic, tribal drums, tantalizing melodies harmonising delightfully with the raw, dynamic sonics until Swiss producer and Rebellion artist Quenum rounds off the release, superbly with minimal 80s sounding remix featuring acid-tinged moduations, cosmic pads underneath the effervescent synths and eccentric vibrations.

London band The Fantastics! return to BBE Music with instrumental jazz-dance masterpiece ‘Pyramid’, the second single to be taken from their forthcoming album ‘Take A Shot’.

‘Pyramid’ was born fully formed in the musical mind of the groups’ saxophonist & flautist Mark Norton – an ethereal instrumental that’s 50% contemplative spiritual introspection à la Pharoah Sanders / Coltrane /Airto Moreira, 50% prime Dingwall’s dance-floor fodder.

Organist Greg Boraman conjured up the intriguing ‘Oblique’, which is a fairly curious musical hybrid. If you had ever wondered what a collaboration between 70’s era Charles Earland, Dexter Wansel and Roni Size for a KPM library music album might sound like – here’s your answer! Fender Rhodes, Hammond, flute and spacy synthesizers ride across James Smith’s sterling drum work, and Sulene Flemings’ ghostly wordless background vocals mark this track out as a spacey jazz-funk oddity.

‘Liquor & Poker’ is a homage to 1950’s organ & sax rhythm & blues became a firm favourite in the bands live shows – it’s combination of old school swinging drums, honking tenor, gritty guitar and organ is always a crowd pleaser, but didn’t quite make it onto the bands forthcoming long player ‘Take A Shot’ – so is included here as a bonus throwback slice of the good groove.

He clasped his hands together and looked upwards towards the sky. The stars flickered and danced up above, blissfully unaware of the perils down below on planet earth. Thankfully he was one of the lucky few who believed in something greater and something more. Heaven forbid he might think otherwise for then there would be little hope. He began to recite the words he'd been taught as a child many years ago, a wise prayer destined to fend off evil spirits and send them dancing into the night sky, all he had to do was believe. 

Dopeness Galore get the London hook up with the release of a stellar deep moving house cut of a track called "Believe". IG Culture reimagines the track for something destined for deep, dark basements under the guise of LCSM - Likwid Continual Space Motion.
