So, 2014 is nearly done and once again, the releases came at such a rate  that we’ve barely had time to draw breath, let alone sit back and congratulate ourselves on another year of putting out Real Music For Real People…
That’s why we enjoy this little tradition of posting the annual ‘staff picks’ from our own catalogue… it forces us to sit back, relax and start playing through some of that incredible music that we’ve released into a harsh world in the last year. 
Don’t think it’s easy … Team BBE can be riven with hissy-fits and sulkiness for a couple of days as personal favourites are out-voted, over-ruled or ruled out over technicalities  (e.g. the member of staff who insisted on having every track from the weird and wonderful  Strange Breaks and Mister Thing III). But the collective process usually ends in a group hug and a nice warm glow once we playback the final selection. 
It’s impossible to let the occasion pass without mentioning some of the ones that got away, though. Despite the plethora of new artists we’ve put out over the past few years we’re probably still best-known for our compilations, instantly  recognizable both visually and aurally, and this year saw no let- up in either quantity or quality. As well as the aforementioned Strange Breaks and Mister Thing III, which won plaudits from the most seasoned vinyl junkies for its educative and entertaining qualities, we had Sean P’s personal trip down memory lane to an old-school that few of today’s hip-hop generation even knew existed, Rock It Don’t Stop It. We also had Kev Beadle’s dig around the private press archives for lost jazz classics, resulting in his Private Collection, and the fourth …yes, fourth!.. instalment of Keb Darge and Little Edith’s Legendary Wild Rockers, raw rockabilly from one of our longest-serving and most illustrious of collaborators. 
Having seen a lot of reissues done very badly, 2014 was the year we stepped up the game with our Masters We Love series. Lavishly packaged and remastered from the original sources, we’ve been able to put legendary albums previously known only to hard-core collectors back into wider circulation. Nana Love, Crystal Winds, Hal Bradbury,  Janet Lawson, The Craig Peyton Group were some of the artists in this series who benefited from this exposure but inexplicably didn’t make the cut for our year end round-up … Band X and Dan Mastroianni are two more who did. We also put out the legendary Lost Album from Iron Curtain synth-meisters Rodion G.A. 
So what of those new artists? For every one that scraped on this seasonal bonanza, there were a couple more that didn’t … so a big shout-out to Lady Daisey, Morgan featuring Jo Sims, Very Tall Stories,Loretta Heywood, Hempolics,  The Grits, Algebra Blessett, Yesking, Duct Tape, Time For T, and DJ Oil, who between them represent just about every kind of credible underground music-making going on right now. 
As for those represented on this excursion, there’s no lack of diversity there, either.  Old friends like Shawn Lee, DJ Vadim and Mr.Bird jostle for attention alongside Slakah the Beatchild, Anchorsong,, Tricky D, The Excelsiors, Larry Achiampong, True Ingredients, Megajawns, Vaitea and More Like Trees. From the dopest dubbed out downtempo headnodders to the most progressive of up-tempo left-field dance, taking in the flavours of Africa, the Caribbean and the East along the way. 2014 was one helluva ride … hope you enjoy this brief trip back through it alongside.

Featuring instantly appealing vocals by London duo HanLei, 'Right On' is a soulful, percussive, afro-tinged house gem, seamlessly blending smooth, jazzy keys with subtle 90s arpeggios and acid bass- lines. The third single taken from Kiko Navarro's acclaimed new album 'Everything Happens For A Reason, 'Right On' is one of those rare tracks that feels equally suited to a nightclub, bar or beach setting. Kiko's floaty 'Vocal Dub' will appeal to deep house heads, while his 'Raw Dub' takes the track into late night territory with its addictive and straightforward acid groove.
Swiss DJ and Defected Music stalwart Dario D'Attis, fresh from his Traxsource chart topping success of 2016, turns in an elegant, Chicago-influenced remix: insistent, sensual and ready for the dance- floor. His instrumental version takes things deeper still revealing a hypnotic, stripped down track it's all too easy to lose yourself in.
Steadfast torch-carrier for the true sound of House music, Kiko Navarro has been DJing and producing for over two decades. A much-loved figure across the Balearic Islands, Kiko's regular sets at Pacha Ibiza opened the doors for gigs all over the planet, returning home to maintain his residency at Pacha Mallorca since its new opening in 2013.

Undoubtedly one of the current hottest talents on the UK club scene, a firm national radio favourite not to mention in-demand producer and remixer, DJ S.K.T keeps the dancefloor-primed bangers coming with his debut on brand new label DFX. Re-working a late-90s Strictly Rhythm classic, DJ S.K.T nails an updated vision of Wamdue Project’s ‘King Of My Castle’, translating it for 2017’s dancefloors. Maintaining the iconic vocal line “must be a reason why I’m king of my castle”, DJ S.K.T amps up the shuddering bass for a killer 4/4 track.  ‘Must Be A Reason’ is your next hottest find, whether you’re an aux cable DJ or the real deal.

Hot Creations favourite and Paradise resident Patrick Topping is back onboard the seminal imprint with the hotly anticipated, two track release, Be Sharp Say Nowt.

Road tested on the world’s biggest stages and at the most notorious parties, title track Be Sharp Say Nowt encapsulates Patrick’s signature sound and has proven to be his biggest track of the year. “The gospel vocal from LaShun Pace is amazing!” says Patrick, “I'm so happy to have it finally come out on Hot Creations”. On the flip, Track Change offers a contrast and a slightly different side to Patrick’s sound.

Spearheading the new wave of electronic music producers coming from the North of England, Patrick Topping has made a name as a prolific producer, securing seven different Beatport number 1s since his debut release in 2013. His accolades also count two DJ Awards for Best Newcomer and Track Of The Season for Forget, as well as DJ Mag’s Best Tune in their Best of British Awards. Last year he rounded things off with his first DJ mix album, Paradise On Earth vol 1, which received Mixmag’s Compilation of The Month and 10/10 from Germany’s Faze Mag, as well as reaching number 1 in Beatport’s House chart.

BBE are excited to present the first in a new series of strictly limited 7” pressings exploring some of the most iconic House tracks of all time, as chosen by DJ Spinna and Kai Alce. With global interest in ‘45s on the rise, ‘Foundations’ aims to fill those frustrating gaps in all our collections by releasing specially crafted edits of classic house tracks on 7” vinyl for the very first time.

Part one of the ‘Foundations’ series celebrates Chicago producer Cajmere’s early masterpiece ‘Brighter Days’ featuring Dajae. Best known in recent years by his ‘Green Velvet’ moniker, Curtis Jones has been blazing a trail through House and Techno since launching his Cajual imprint back in ’91. Reaching #2 on Billboard’s dance chart in 1992, ‘Brighter Days’ was Cajmere’s breakthrough hit and continues to educate and inspire producers, DJs and dancers to this day.

With artwork lovingly adapted from the original 12”, the record’s ‘North Side’ features a deft Kai Alce edit of the monstrous 10 minute Masters At Work ‘Brighter Days’ remix. Introducing those distinctive skipping, syncopated rhythms later adopted by UK Garage pioneers, Louie’s MAW mix has lost none of its dance-floor impact over the last 25 years. Lurking on the ‘South Side’ you can find the raw, potent ‘Underground Goodies Mix’, a production credited by Rashad and other pioneers as the catalyst for Chicago’s ‘footwork’ movement.

Wubbaduck - Feel The Power (Original Mix)

Simply an iconic track from Swiss brothers Mandrax and Seb K aka Shakedown, ‘At Night’ is one of the most recognisable house tracks of the last two decades. With one of the most-hyped remixes of the year, artist of the moment Peggy Gou has seriously delivered with a squelching 7 minute groover, bringing in that iconic synth motif to lift the production and keep it rolling. Stepping up to tackle this masterpiece with a nu-disco dance track, Tiger & Woods use cowbell to accent a B-boy beat, with drum machine breaks bringing it back to the dancefloor. Finally in the package is a brand new mix from the Shakedown duo themselves, the Galactic Boogie. With saturated synths and interplanetary breakdowns, Shakedown bring a carefree 80s quality to this iconic track’s irresistible after-dark charm.

Announcing his forthcoming BBE compilation ‘A Taste of Chicago’, edit kingpin and DJ par excellence Jamie 3:26 drops a 12” comprising two of his most highly prized cuts.
At the top of many a vinyl digger’s wish-list since its highly limited white label release in 2010, the Jamie 3:26 edit of Calendar’s 1977 disco stepper ‘Comin’ On Strong’ has become the stuff of legend, played to devastating effect by Theo Parrish among others over recent years.
On the flip, Jamie 3:26 heads into classic Chicago House territory with a fiery reworking of impossible-to-find Braxton Holmes banger ‘Stomps & Shouts’, taken from his mythical ‘Cabrini-Greens and Cornbread’ project.
A scintillating teaser of what’s to come later this year when BBE release ‘Taste Of Chicago’, a full album’s worth of Jamie’s incredible edits, this 12” is surely a must have for House and Disco players the world over.

Some of our favorite compadres in the premiere game have to be the lads of SlothBoogie, Danny and Pat. Since their humble beginnings as a music channel, the two have branched out considerably the past few years; getting their hands involved in everything from promotion to running their own record label. In fact, the purpose of today's post is to help them mark an important milestone in SlothBoogie history - the fifth installment of their ever-popular EDITZ series. Like previous releases, Danny and Pat have managed to secure a spectacular cast of talented producers for their compilation. The 4 track EP includes everyone from seasoned veterans like Carlo and Luvless to promising up and comers like Zak Degenhardt of Cassettes For Kids.

Although the originals from those guys sound absolutely phenomenal, the one we chose to premiere today is actually a first for the group who rounds out the record - Bondi Bondi. Based out of Buenos Aires, this trio consists of notable DJs and producers Pabels, Signo, and Way. Much like the music they curate as individuals, the goal of the band seems to be 100% beach vibes with a strong emphasis on bringing classic disco and afro music to the forefront once again.

One of those tracks happens to be a Michael Cooper hit from 1987, which acts as the inspiration for their edit "Dinner 4-2." Taking the ridiculously romantic original, Bondi Bondi have decided to create the ultimate DJ weapon for setting the mood by upping the song's tempo and adding in a dancefloor assortment of bass, oceanfront ambiance, and groovy synth melodies.

If you like what you hear, make sure to grab your copy of SBEDITZ005 when it hits the shelves this Friday!

Are You Ready

Four 80 East & Ce Ce Peniston - Are You Ready (Joey Negro Radio Edit)

The record label Muggsy is not related to Muggsy Spanier, the legendary jazz
cornettist. Nor is it connected to the tiny terror of the NBA, Muggsy Bogues.
Neither, for that matter, is it linked to Cypress Hill DJ and producer DJ Muggs.
Nope. It is, however, entirely related to the Brooklyn house firmament, Henry
Street.
The man behind Henry Street is Johnny De Mairo, known among New York
industry heads simply as Johnny D; ergo he is also the chap responsible for
Muggsy, which is why we are here.
For those of you who are not familiar with the oeuvre of Johnny D – and where
ya been if not? – let’s step to one side for the moment and run through the CV.
Born and bred in Brooklyn (and proud of that fact), Johnny D has been a DJ,
record and autograph collector from the moment he had some spare cash. He
got his first break in the music industry working for Vince Pellegrino’s S.I.N.,
before moving on to work for Atlantic Records, with whom he was associated for
many years. 
Among the many projects he’s been involved with there (and there
really are too many to mention) were the Bucketheads, with his longtime friend
and associate Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez, the remix for Tori Amos’ ‘Professional
Widow’ which wound up at number one in the UK pop charts, and the remix and
campaign for Everything But The Girl’s ‘Missing’, which he took from indie nohopers
to the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot 100. “Johnny D spotted the
potential of this record early,” writes Tracey Thorn of ‘Missing’ in Disco Bedsit
Queen, “and refused to give up on it long after it might have seemed reasonable
to admit defeat. He made us realize that the song was taking off in a big way.”
As well as his major label manoeuvres, Johnny also had his ear to the ground at
street level. He first launched Henry Street in 1993, followed a few years later by
Muggsy. “I was looking at the house market and thinking a lot of the labels were
hitting a wall. I felt as a record fan and a collector, I wasn’t interested in a lot of
the shit that was out. I’d go to Vinylmania and around and I wasn’t interested.
I’d find myself tilting towards imports and I thought, you know, ‘I know how to
make records, I should start my own label’. Masters at Work was just starting
to kill things and Wednesday was their night at Sound Factory Bar night, which
is where we all were. One night, I said to Tommy Musto, who was one of my
close friends, I was thinking about doing a label. He said, “Well listen, I got all my
distribution through Northcott, if you wanna do it, we’ll do all the pressing and
distribution and you do the A&R.”
Henry Street became known for a sound deeply rooted in the disco that Johnny
De Mairo loves and collects while still taking care of dancefloor business. 
Muggsy was his chance to branch out into other areas. “After years of Henry Street music being predominantly a soulful house label, I wanted to have another outlet to
release different types of records,” recalls Johnny. “Initially, I had intended for
Muggsy to be the harder more ‘tribal-type’ label and keep the soulful stuff for
Henry Street. So when Chris ‘TKC’ Staropoli came to me with ‘Back Jack’ I figured
that was the best time for Muggsy to begin as it was a bit tribal but, more than
that, pushed the envelope a bit more than my regular releases on Henry Street.”
With a collection of like-minds gathered around the De Mairo table recording
for the label, some of them New York cohorts (Kenny Dope, Brutal Bill), with
Chicago’s Ralphi Rosario, Robbie Rivera from Puerto Rico and Miami’s Mike ‘Da
Mooch’ Mucci, Muggsy released a string of tracks that ploughed a different
furrow to big daddy Henry Street. But the Muggsy groove still retained the
sample-based ethos (and disco roots) of its proprietor Johnny D (who also found
time to released tracks under the Sopranos pseudonym with studio partner
Nicky Palermo).
“After Chris’s TKC, I was getting some tracks that were more in the pop/rock
category than the soulful/black style that pretty much was the Henry
Street Music sound,” remembers Johnny. “So Muggsy went from initially a harder
sound, to more of a rocky feel added to the tribal sound. But it still had its own
sound and the roster was a good extension of Henry Street Music in the way that
the name and brand power was there with artists like Brutal Bill, Kenny Dope
and others.”
The Muggsy Story is a document of a special time in New York history, before the
gentrification of New York made party-throwing a guerilla activity, rather than
the core of its musical soul. Muggsy, we salute you.
