The singles "You Really Got Me," and "All Day and All of the Night," might have propelled the Kinks into UK stardom, but in 1968 the Kinks concept album "Village Green Preservation Society," their lowest-selling album ever, would cement itself as one of the best of all time.

Introducing... Chordashian!

Brooklyn native Felix Feygin and New Jersey home-boy Michael Banks, along with their sophisticated posse, make up the uber-cool Chordashian.  

From the off Chordashian have created quite a buzz, with a recent slammin' X-Press 2 remix, a feature on Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly radio and a guest Dj set at the 2011 Electric Zoo festival.

Don't Wait Up, the title opener of this six track nugget features Michael Inge on lead vocals (comparable to a certain Mr Jay Kay from Jamiroquai) and who delivers a stunning performance on this Disco tinged 112bpm glitterball groover.

Next up - Sea Crest. This analog monster takes us yet further into the night with go-go Hip-Hop chants, disco guitar licks and clever side-chained string 'n pad touches that help bounce this beauty along perfectly.

Lastly we have The Jam... a salubrious dawn groover that'll have you reaching for the piece-pipe, then easing you into a finger clicking dream World of balearic piano heaven!

And if that wasn't enough - all three tracks have been selectively and very carefully remixed by Nu-Disco top dogs Downtown Party Network, Slow Hands and Sportloto.

Holy shizzle I hear you cry... Chordashian have certainly arrived!

To celebrate the Small Faces’ Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we are releasing   two of the band’s biggest tracks as limited edition 7” vinyl singles with picture sleeves .

They are both authentic recreations of the original UK mono singles and are limited to 2500 copies each . Available through independent record retailers worldwide as part of Record Store Day on April 21st.

They each contain a unique limited edition picture postcard.

‘Itchycoo Park’/’I’m only Dreaming’ CHARLY 102S

The band’s second single for Immediate from August 1967 is an irresistible reminder of the Summer of Love. As a contemporary review noted, ‘This is a complete gas, lyrics, sound, feeling and all’.

‘Tin Soldier’/’I Feel Much Better’ CHARLY 103S

The band’s third single for Immediate from December 1967 is an aching love letter from Steve Marriott to his wife-to-be. An early and rarely matched example of the fusion of rock and soul.

Part of The Small Faces Re-Masters Series
The last five years have seen a massive programme of tape recovery and upgrading with the full co-operation and endorsement of both surviving band members. Kenney Jones has given access to his personal tape archive and many of the band’s original master tapes and session multi-tracks, previously lost for over forty years, have been discovered and re-mastered. It is thus now possible to present the Small Faces’ recordings sounding better than at any time since the 1960s. The Re-Masters series also presents a host of newly discovered tracks and alternative versions, alongside original artwork, photos, rare publicity material and memorabilia with comprehensive new sleeve-notes based around band interviews.

After not releasing any new music for awhile and under-going a new name change, I figured I would throw together a little remix for you guys to let you know that there's still a ton of work going on behind the scenes. This one has a more gritty style then some of my previous tracks, but I tried to keep that same funky feel that you get from the original tune. Hope you like it and keep tabs, tons of new shit coming in the future!!

Eminence Front (Marvel Years Remix)

My Maestro Sam Cooke
My Maestro
I feel a strong connection to you man
I feel I should have meet you my friend
When I think about the success you endure
It inspires me to walk in your musical steps
By keeping soul alive 
Man I’ll try
But I know no one can sang soul like you can
When I hear “Change Gon Come” I understand
My spirit remembers back then
“Bring me your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yea
Yes!
It’s the best
My brother you were blessed
Talented and profound
Sam I wish you were still around
To give us soulful sounds like “ Somebody Have Mercy”
Tell me what is wrong with me
I got a long way to get there and I got a short time to go
My Maestro you thrill me so
I hear the passion in your voice
Your melody so smooth
Sam no one can sing it like you do
Tennessee Waltz I play it over and over again
Grooving to the funky rhythm 
Genuine vocals
Soul filled tunes
“Send Me Your Loving” blows my mind
Your lyrics are one of a kind 
“Frankie and Johnny”,“Shake”,“Another Saturday Night”
Man I like I like I like!
I adore sweet music for my soul
“Touch The Hem Of His Garment”
True story is told
“Jesus Gave Me Water”, Summertime” “Loverboy” Sad Mood”
I cry when I hear you blow it like you do
My Maestro, composer, songwriter, artist
Mr. Music Man
I stand 
I applause to you 
“Meet Me At Mary’s Place”
A soulful escape 
Thats the sound of the man working on the“Chain Gang”
Lord have mercy on those men
“Thats’ It I Quit, I’m Moving On”,“Lovable”, “You Send Me”
You kept the hits coming emotive and free
“Cupid”,”What A Wonderful World”,”Good Times”Little Red Rooster”
Extraordinary harmony
Classic and unique
“Thats Where Its At”
This blues is in check and I like it like that
While I “Twisting The Night Away”

Go Sam Go!
Cause “ Nothing Can Change This Love” For you brother
Your gift was made “ Just For You”
“Win Your Love For Me”“Sugar Dumpling” “Everybody Loves To Cha Cha”
So sorry we had to say goodbye
But my Maestro I will remember your legacy for the rest of my life
