chop chop. just messin' around with that trinidad sound.

cosmic force - trinidad bump (chris luck edit)

From the self-titled album 'Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band,' out June 15th on Strut. 

iTunes: http://geni.us/PatThomasKwashibu
Strut Store: http://bit.ly/PatThomasStrut

From the album liner notes:
‘Gyae Su’ is a rearrangement of an older song, with a guitar concept typical of the classic Kwa or Kumasi bands and an overall tropical style. Ebo Taylor’s horn arrangements evoke the classic Afro-funk vibe that he originally made famous. The lyrics are as catchy as they are plaintive, with Thomas comforting the listener, “Don’t cry! Life has its ups and downs. Just take it easy and don’t shed any tears.”

[ED61] The Funk District - Neon Boogie EP

- Juno Review:

Editorial are back everyone: look out! Our favourite edits label now presents us with The Funk District, who is Fernando Mendoza based out of Cancun, Mexico. There's some smooth and soulful disco edited for your convenience on "Groove Me", any guesses who he's taken the razor to on this one? On "Give It To You" we're loving the sultry vibes he's accentuating from the original and "Summer Breeze" takes us back for another glorious ride on the soul train assisted by some nice filtered and loopy build ups that'd make even The Noodleman stand up and notice!

Buy on Juno

The Funk District - Give It To You [ED61]

Street Meat is the new imprint from UK producer and edit maestro Ghosts of Venice. The label's debut release comes from kings of sleaze In Flagranti.

“Radiation Level” is a looped out DJ tool that works it’s way through funk guitar licks and rolling bass lines. Followed by the sultry and sleazy “Freakin’ Time”. The flip side kicks off with the classic electro boogie sound of “Breakin’ In Space” and closes out with the roller disco vibes of “Switch”

In Flagranti - Freakin' Time

We felt in love with this sweet & sensual by Elia Y Elisabeth. A masterpiece guiding you to summer, a road trip carried by their angel voices. Totally seduced by the sound & production of this album, we enjoyed reworking this track, to give it punch with respect to the original songs. 
We’re sure most of the loop & beats here will definitely stick in your head ! This reworks are a present we do to share how much this album is good and too infamous. De nada ! 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nous sommes clairement tombés amoureux de cet album plein d’insouciance, de légèreté et de sensualité. “Elia Y Elisabeth” nous emportent sur la route de vacances, nous charment avec leurs voix angélique. Conquis aussi par l’ambiance latine, le son et la superbe production de cet album, nous avons pris plaisir à retravailler ces morceaux, sans vouloir en perdre l’essence ni la dénaturer , mais leur donner un nouveau “punch”, trouver “la” boucle parfaite pour l’avoir en tête. Ces “reworks” vous sont offerts pour remettre au goût du jour cet opus trop peu connu. De Nada !

Osmose - Get Ready EDITORS KUTZ 7 Vinyl preview

Vinyl out on Whiskey Disco early June 2016!

"Whiskey Disco continues to explore boundaries; blurring lines between original and edit, disco and oddity. WD47 is helmed by Dutchman, Olivier Boogie, an artist known for strengths across the spectrum, in previous releases, we’ve seen his editing on display, No Goodbye is a fine balance between original synthesis and editing panache. Thoma Cher is a newcomer to the edit scene, but has been heavily involved in a disco and house renaissance occurring in Shanghai over the last few years. His club chops have honed an acute ear, we love what we’re hearing from him and can’t wait for more. 

The B-Side is everything a B-Side should be: weird. Label staple, Alkalino guides us along a cosmic journey of boogie-down grooves. Arps, baby. We love em. SF crew, JP Soul & Anthony Mansfield have been attracting serious attention of late between outings on Roam Recordings and sightings at the famous Burning Man camp, Disco Knights. To say they are ravelords is an understatement. Their pedigree is on full display in Warlord, equal parts Arp energy and HUGE (HUGE) lead, the right balance of fun and cheese."

It’s Moscow disco! Russian selector extraordinaire @arsenii makes his RNT debut with a 3 tracker of obscure and infinitely groovy edits. From the Shaft-in-outer-space drama of “Son of the Sun,” to the proto-balearic lilt of “Jungle Melody” to the big band funk of “Fool Like A Child,” Arsenii demonstrates his skill at digging through and slicing up his ample record collection. A pretty yellow 10” with a classic jazz library label design rounds this one out nicely!

Soundway Records present ’24 Hours in A Disco 1978 - 82’, 7 cuts of relentless disco grooves from the sublimely gifted Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa’s answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday. 

Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise matched by an equally swift fall back into obscurity. 

Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.

Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan’s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release.

Released on CD and 2xLP both formats are accompanied with detailed liner notes written by Uchenna Ikonne. LP version comes with a free MP3 download of the release. 

Kiki Gyan - Disco Dancer

Release date end of July.
