Artist: A.A.V.V.
Title: ITALO (Re)Funk+Head Kutz
Cat.#: SMS035
Format: 12''

Samosa Records cranks up the summer groove with another sizzling release in the outstanding (Re) Funk+Head series – a collection of juicy tracks from the Samosa back-catalogue selected and re-edited by the man himself, De Gama.

This sumptuous vinyl cut of ITALO Funk and Boogie kicks off with Mexico’s finest, The Funk District and the enigmatic ‘La Rapina’. This is pure, unfiltered Funk District chemistry from the first bar. Snake hips guitar, rolling bass and that super-solid 4-4-4 beat pound into your consciousness whilst the hypnotic chant and Latino-infused vocal tempt you into sin.

Next up on the A-side is Samosa head honcho DeGama and his deliciously refreshing ‘Piňa Colada’ - a new edit of the original 2011 version never previously released on Samosa. And what a mystery box it is. Tight beats, punchy bass, looped synth and house-tinged high-hat lead us to a haunting, melodic vocal breakdown. There’s a subtle Afro flavour to this one, definitely for sipping cocktails in a hammock or Caribbean beach bar.

On Side B Italian Maestro Paul Older takes the beats down several notches with the explosive ‘Daboom’ – the DeGama Re-Groove of Paul’s first vinyl release way back in 2019. This is a straight up, mid-tempo peacock strut down Funksville Boulevard. Possibly wearing a Zoot Suit. Imagine having breakfast with Herbie Hancock and you might get an idea of just how funky this tune is. He’s passing you the eggs and you’re buttering the toast.

The last track sees DeGama delve into his dark magic box for the mind-melting, film noir themed ‘Higher’. The tempo is scaled right back to 92bpm for this portrait of pain, joy, lust and hallucinogenic dreams. ‘Higher’ reveals a side of DeGama that we know lurks in there, but only sometimes makes it to the surface. Smokey, sassy and sultry, this is definitely one for the dimly-lit after party.

The latest episode in the (Re) Funk+Head has set the Samosa bar even higher. This simply has to be in your summer record box and don’t you dare leave home without it.

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Buy/Stream: https://razor-n-tape.lnk.to/ShesMine

Masterful producer @YUKSEK returns to RNT with the Déjà Vous EP of all-original modern disco. She’s Mine leads with a rolling percussive beat and Italo baseline and layers emotive piano chords and plaintiff vocals, to hearken back to a nostalgic era of indie disco. On the flip side, the EP title track collab with Brazilian producer Diogo Strausz brings expected tropical flavor, and All Night feels a bit French-touchy with it’s infectious phase effected vocal loop. Accessible hooks and solid production, this is a handy one for the bag!

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Buy/Stream- razor-n-tape.lnk.to/LoveLouder

The long-standing collaboration between Eli Escobar and critically acclaimed singer and songwriter Nomi Ruiz has been years in the making. The two Puerto Rican New York native’s first collab in 2011 ‘Desire’, on Stretch Armstrong's Plant Music, was an electrifying club cut turned torch song. They’ve since featured on various releases like their 2013 cover of Boy George's ‘Somebody to Love Me’ on Nervous Records and ‘Shadow Dancer’ in 2015 as part of Nomi’s Jessica 6 electro-pop outfit, so it was only natural for the duo to launch an official joint project.

While working on the ‘Love Louder’ LP the duo were faced with the loss a friend and one third of Eli’s legendary party Night People, James Dewitt aka DJ BluJemz. James, Eli, and Nomi have always shared a deep love for their hometown and have done their best to keep the culture alive by participating in the constant shift of its cultural landscape. In 2023, Escobar opened his club in Brooklyn, Gabriela, named after another friend who passed during the pandemic. Gabriela Mejia was known for curating the original subMercer making it home to local underground DJ elite with an adjacent subMercer Record label. The two had once discussed opening a place together so naming the venue after her Eli says, “This was my way of bringing her along in the best way I could.”

‘Love Louder,’ while laced with dancefloor gems like the howling house track ‘Heathens’ and nostalgic ode to freestyle ‘Full Fantasy,’ takes a surprising emotional turn as it seems to call for pause and presence in a fleeting world. The album opens with the pulsing piano driven title track ‘Love Louder’ where Ruiz borrows lyrics from the late Donny Hathaway singing, “tomorrow may never come, tomorrow is only made for some.” ‘Love Louder’ is Eli & Nomi’s attempt at honouring their hometown while grieving its past and imminent changes. On ‘Go Be Gone’ Nomi sings directly to her mourning and coming to terms with no longer being able to hold on to a world that is constantly changing.

‘Love Louder’ is Eli & Nomi’s love letter to a world that will leave you behind and a way of honouring the people and places they refuse to forget. “We deeply care about the landscape of our city. This was 100% purely to add something great to New York, because we care about the city that much” says Eli. What will always keep Eli, Nomi and the friends they’ve lost along the way connected is their love for the city that made them who they are and brought them closer together through music and nightlife.

Discolifting 03 EP
Label - Funkyjaws Music
Released - 4th August 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/black-truffle-discolifting-03-vinyl/1086666-01/

The faultless Funkyjaws music rolls out another irresistible disco dazzler in its Discolifting series with Enigmatic producer Black Truffle at the helm. He debuted in 2023 and has landed on labels like Gamm and this one before now, always making a mark in the process. 'Ti Voglio' starts with some fiery Latin vocals and big strings straight from a Philly disco classic. 'Venus' has a fat low end and stepping groove with plenty of lavish instrumental flair, and 'To Be The One' is a filter-heavy, funky-disco cruiser for good times only. 'Cassandra' slows things down with some steamy sexual energy from the horns and rich chord stabs, sure to get any dance floor heated right up.

Tai odė miesto deivėms, kurių taurėse teliuškuojantis eliksyras pabudina snaudžiančią vidinę žebenkštį. Pastaroji nagiukais čiupt čiupt ir išsiveržia į laisvę, už kurią mainais ji miesto deives apdovanoja saldžiomis nuodėmėmis... t.y. nuotykiais. O pirmadienį burtams prasisklaidžius, miesto deivės vėl krapšt krapšt prie ekranų dailias nugaras išrietusios miesto stiklainiuose ar nuotoliniu. Ir vėl lyg nieko nebūta, bet tuo pačiu ir niekada daugiau!

Ei, miesto deivės - žebenkštėlės, šis gabalas jums!
