DIVINE SITUATION - THE PROBLEM SOLVER -

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce!

OG Razor-N-Tape crew right here! Having graced the RNT hall of fame for only their third release back in 2013, @frankbooker returns in style for round two.

Straight off the bat 'Be Yourself' takes you on a sensuous journey around the disco cosmos. Interplanetary echoes, stratospheric strings and a bass and brass beamed down directly from the outer galaxy are brought together with those heavenly vocals alluring any lost souls.

'More' follows up - a hair raising, funk fuelled edit combining luscious vocals, a badass bassline and the kind of guitar riffs that will leave you straight up salivating for more. This is peak time, delectable disco with an added umph and rhythms that are kind to the discerning DJs out there.

Closing out the EP Frank slows things down to galactic chugger territory, marshalling the funky starship to the underground with the pied piper of supercharged jazz flutes leading the dance.

A raucous return from the masterful Frank Booker.

'Music They Love'... we ask DJ's and producers to delve into their collection and put together a selection of records that have meant a lot to them in the past, as well as the present. All things inspirational and influential - the records which have shaped their sound as a producer or selection as a DJ.

Scotland's Disco connoisseur Al Kent is locked in for the latest instalment. He kindly provided a brief explanation of the selection he put together for us:

"The majority of the tracks on this mix were never really aimed at club DJs, so this isn’t a “mix” in the traditional sense of the word. (Let’s call it a “set”). 

The guys at CC//HW asked for a selection of records that have meant a lot to me and have helped to shape my sound, which means going beyond disco: my coming of age music was Northern Soul. A record had to be recorded in Detroit in the 1960s and cost more than my rent for me to be interested.

So the first three tracks on this set were gateway records for me - they were recorded in the 1970s, but still had the raw energy I looked for in Northern records. There were obviously a lot more I could choose but these three really remind me of that time.

Once I’d let my guard down and accepted that good music didn’t stop in 1969 it was easier to notice some beautiful music that had once driven me to the record bar when it was played at an all-nighter. Like tracks 4 and 5 - The Moments and Prince Philip Mitchell - still the tempo and feel I was used to, but definitely starting to veer more towards a traditional disco style.

And once disco got me, it really got me! The second half of this set is all about my heroes - the people who really influence me now: a couple of Walter Gibbons tracks of course, Tom Moulton at the absolute top of his game and a track each from Patrick Adams and Gamble & Huff. These guys had a massive influence on how the music I love was produced and I’ll be forever thankful to them for the joy they continue to bring to my life."

Al Kent // Music They Love #28

One of Detroit’s brightest young house producer is Jaco Matthews, and his vinyl release on Rocksteady Disco is long overdue. “Lesson One” leads off the EP, a peak hour deep afro house track highlighting Jaco’s brilliant drum programming. “Snacks” follows, a bouncy and swinging composition with stuttering vocals and enough jack to make Robert Owens proud. On the flip is Jaco’s massive remix of Peter Croce’s “Revival”, full of moody pads, uplifting piano, driving 909, and a timeless message for our strange times.

"This is an edit I did a few years back using an obscure track with a nice afro disco feel that I wanted to be more useful nowadays. I've been playing it in my sets but it never was released, so I think it was perfect for this compilation as I feel it could be played at Paloma to make people dance." (Javi Frias)

[thun-der] a loud, explosive, resonating noise produced by the explosive expansion of air heating by a lightning discharge. Our good friend Ludovic Llorca aka Art Of Tones is back on Lazy Days with a bang. A double header featuring Thunder and Secousse.Thunder comes in two versions, showcasing a more electronic side of his production while retaining its unmistakable groove.Secousse goes back to his love for 90s House and comes with a remix from Fred Everything keeping things bouncy during this lockdown summer.

"Ludovic Llorca aka Art Of Tones has been one of my favourite producers for over 20 years now. I’m very lucky to be able to call him my good friend as well as being able to release his music on Lazy Days. His newest offering, Thunder/Secousse, comes out Friday. While it’s a slight departure from his Disco & Funk influence he’s gotten us used to lately, It’s as strong as you can expect from this prolific and versatile artist. Here’s a little q&a to find out a bit more about the man behind the music, in the time of covid." Fred Everything.
