"Cake" was a New York band formed in 1973, following a line-up tweak and a change from their previous name "Mixed Company» (referring to the racially mixed personell). At Arabellum Studios in Colony, Albany, NY, the band recorded their only 7-inch single. "Make Up Your Mind" / "Let Your Body Go» was released on Key Records in 1979. 

Half a life time later, after appearing in DJ mixes and online auctions in the late 2000s, the single started gaining notoriety among DJs and diggers. Working its way up to "holy grail" status on the modern soul and disco collector scene, original copies of the sought after record would eventually sell for as high as $1000.

In 2012, Hans Jørgen Wærner (Mutual Intentions Co-Founder and notorious disco collector) got in touch with Arabellum studio owner Art Snay who produced the record. This lead him to lead singer Bob Treffiletti who had a cassette tape with unreleased long versions of the songs. The sound quality of the tape was not adequate for what Hans had in mind, and so the hunt for the original master tapes began! Unfortunately, Art Snay later passed away. At one point chances of finding the original recordings seemed so slim, the project was all but abandoned…. 

Luckily, Bob managed to get hold of the master tapes via Art's wife and they were sent away to legendary disco mixer / remixer John Morales, who transferred the tape to digital format. After several rounds in one of Norway's best mastering studios (Strype Audio), noise reduction and sound surgery were done while retaining the soul of the original recordings. The songs were finally ready to be pressed on the format they have always deserved: the 12-inch disco single!

The 12-inch comes with four 5 min + long songs and can be pre-ordered via Mutual Intentions' Bandcamp now. The high-quality lacquer cut pressing is produced at Optimal Media in Germany and limited to 300 copies worldwide.

Exclusive Premiere: Cake "Make Up Your Mind" (Mutual Intentions Records)

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.

135TH

On his forthcoming EP for Freerange Records (@freerangerecords), Simbad (@simbad) teams up with South African vocalist Brian Temba for a soulful journey which includes three renditions. "Take My Hand" coasts easily on a late-night / early morning vibe. The lightly placed kick keeps the pulse present and allows space for Brian Temba to weave his way through the strings, creating a warm and hypnotic glow. Flips on the EP include a floor-warming remix from label-boss Jimpster (@jimpster) as well as club-ready edit / dub from Simbad himself. All in all, this one is perfect for getting a room warmed or cooling the room down, take your pick!
