2. LCA&Voodoocuts - That's Alright

Introducing Sola Rosa!

Kiwi soul is on the rise and we are happy to welcome Sola Rosa as our latest signing from down under. Back home in NZ, the band, lead by mastermind Andrew Spraggon is already a household name with their trademark mix of soul, reggae, hip-hop and whatnot. Call it modern day roots music if you like. Extremely well produced and catchy as a Holland/Dozier/Holland tune. Occasionally backed by a string quartet but with creaking basslines at the low ends. Mic duties are handled by an international ensemble of singers, chatters and MC's like Spikey Tee, Iva Lamkum, Bajka and Serocee.

On July 29, we release the first single „Turn Around“ featuring the wonderful Iva Lamkum. The album „Get It Together“ follows on September 30.

We celebrate the good news with a free download of the instrumental title track of the album. Enjoy and share how you like!

Feedback & Reviews: http://matasunarecords.com/releases/msr001-afreaka-ep/reviews/
Follow https://soundcloud.com/Voodoocuts & https://soundcloud.com/SoulBrigada for more!

Voodoocuts kicks off the A-Side with Kelja, a raw 70s afro-funk bomb from the Ivory Coast. The American-funk inspired tune features a funky bassline & killer organ vibe, mingled with a dirty, raw saxophone line and James Brown influenced vocals. Voodoocuts' rework turns the track into a serious dancefloor banger!
In 'The Tortoise Loop' Voodoocuts blends an infectious groove with pounding drum breaks and hypnotic vocals. A hot afro-latin joint not to be missed!
On the flip SoulBrigada takes things to a disco tip. 'Hustleman' is a stunning afrofunk & disco gem from West Africa. The second track 'Madera' is an afro-disco gem with a compelling Cape Verdean groove. 
SoulBrigada rearranged the tracks, added drums, samples and effects building a bridge between past and present – without ever losing its original organic vibe. Two essential tunes for your record bag!

Greenwood Rhythm Coalition - Traición

Here´s a remix of La Troba Kung Fù for Nickodemus` compilation "Turntables On Las Ramblas" out on Wonderwheel Recordings. Wicked stuff all over

La Troba Kung-Fù - Barcelona (Andyloop, Toti & Maxey Remix)

The Jungle Fire band digs deep into afro/latin funk with an approach that is both authentic and highly explosive! Comprised of musicians from the Los Angeles region, Jungle Fire pulls from only those who are dedicated to preserving, protecting and progressing LA’s funk and latin scenes. Members have performed with Stevie Wonder, Joe Bataan, Breakestra, Ozomatli, Quantic, Alice Russell, Celia Cruz, Orgone, The Greyboy Allstars and the list goes on. Summer of 2012 saw the release of Jungle Fire's debut vinyl 45 released on indie label Colemine Records, making big waves worldwide, to be followed by a second 7 inch this spring...

Grant Phabao is an amazing producer and multi-instrumentalist, recognized by many as 'the best sound engineer in Paris'. Backed by underground networker/A&R Djouls and designer Ben Hito, in the footsteps of his regular mixes on Paris DJs he's been putting out release after release every week for months already, relentlessly. A steady flow of singles and albums including collaborations with the most gifted musicians from the Afro/Reggae/Funk scene, including, Ebo Taylor, George Clinton, The Cactus Channel, Alice Russell, Shawn Lee, Franck Biyong, Lee Fields, Antibalas, The Souljazz Orchestra, The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, Echo Minott, The Jays, The Silvertones and the list goes on. Summer 2013 should see the release of the Grant Phabao Afrofunk Arkestra album, following up on reggae albums from The Silvertones (feb 2013) The Jays (march 2013)…

Jungle Fire and Grant Phabao's musical universes collide with style & fashion on this brand new Paris DJs single featuring the magical keys of Guillaume Méténier aka Soul Sugar. The resulting combination is a unique 'Afrobeat meets Ska' concept, a blend of styles from L.A. to Paris creating a bridge between South America, Nigeria and Jamaica! An explosive dancefloor filler for sure.

"Love it, terribly effective, hope you'll press it on vinyl!" - Betino's Record Shop (Paris)
