http://recordkicks.bandcamp.com/album/va-let-s-boogaloo-vol-6-explosive-northern-soul-deep-funk-and-dancefloor-jazz-en-el-barrio

After 4 years in the making finally a new chapter of RK's premier collection Let's BOOGALOO sees the light. This time legendary compiler Dean Rudland, who is responsible of dozens of wicked compilations on BGP, Kent and Blue Note, digs deep into - mythical NYC latin boogaloo producer - Bobby Marin's catalogue to bring you an explosive collection of (northern) soul, deep funk and latin jazz tunes from Spanish Harlem aka El Barrio. Bobby Marin has been one of the main contributors and a leading figure behind the latin Boogaloo movement in the mid 60s in New York producing and working close together with stars such us Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Machito, Riccardo Marrero, not to mention his own combo the legendary Latin Blues Band, recently sampled by DJ Premier as the hook to Christina Aguilera's 'Ain't No Other Man'. "

As Rudland reckons "Bobby is part of a crowd that have sometimes been overlooked because they weren't central to the Fania Records story, but the music they produced told a truer story of what was going on on the streets of New York than the internationalist world view that was propagated by that label's owner Jerry Massuci" So expect to find here the real stuff,an all killers no fillers selection of rare and impossible to find latin boogaloo singles from Bobby's vaults, including some previously unreleased tracks taken directly from master tapes such us Richie's Theme byRichie & the PS 54 Schooly. A bright sampler of the golden age of the one of the most Infectious music genre ever recorded. Compilation comes with extensive liner notes by Mr.Rudland, for instance did you know that's Bobby's older brother Richie is the responsible for producing Manny Corchado's boogaloo stormer Pow Wow? ... essential collection, play it loud!

Hannah Williams & The Affirmations on Jay-Z’s new album

The title track of the American rap super-star and music entrepreneur’s new album “4:44” is built around “Late Nights & Heartbreak” which is also the title track of Hannah Williams & The Affirmations’ latest album, released by Record Kicks last November. The album, which comes four years after Hov’s last work “Magna Carta Holy Grail”, is produced by No I.D., already known for his works with Kanye West, Common and Jay-Z.  Quoting Jay-Z: '4:44' it's the crux of the album, I woke up, literally, at 4:44 in the morning to write this song... It's the title track because it's such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I've ever written”.

Hannah Williams & The Affirmations - Tame In The Water

Canadian soul queen Tanika Charles release the new single "Love Fool".

Produced by Slakah the Beatchild (BBE records), well-know for his work with the Hip Hop superstar Drake, "Love Fool" is Tanika Charles' new single and is taken from her heavily acclaimed debut album "Soul Run". The super soulful new single is built around a funky bass line in which Tanika showcases her impressive vocal skills and her boundless energy.

With roots in Trinidad & Tobago, Edmonton raised Miss Charles presents an immutable charm, at times endearingly abrasive and honest in her vulnerabilities. After the release of her debut LP "Soul Run" on Record Kicks, Tanika has been extensively touring in Canada and in Europe, playing some of the most important venues and festivals such as the "Trans Musicales" in Rennes and the "Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul" in Birmingham. In a few short years, Tanika has transformed from an emerging solo artist to a commanding performer and bandleader, a staple in the Canadian soul scene described as the "Coolest thing happened in Canada since Drake" (Uncut) and a "refreshing burst of all the familiar flare and soul of Motown" (AftoPunk).

Legendary James Brown's protégée Martha High teams up with Osaka Monaural to pay homage to “JB’s Funky Divas” in her new album “Tribute to My Soul Sisters”.
On Tour:
25 Nov - BIKO Milano, IT | 26 Nov - New Morning (Officiel), Paris, FRA | 28 Nov - Mojo Club, Hamburg, DE | 29 Nov - Schlachthof Wiesbaden, DE | 30 Nov - Under the Bridge, London, UK | 01 Dec - Espace Julien, Marseille, FRA | 02 Dec - Le JAM Montpellier, FRA

Funky Diva Martha High has been an integral part of James Brown’s life and career for more than 30 years: she was his backing vocalist, hair stylist, payroll master and his always loyal and reliable confidant. After a lifetime spent shoulder to shoulder with the Godfather of Soul, she flew to Tokyo and teamed up with Japanese funk ambassadors Osaka Monaurail to pay homage to the great Soul Sisters of the JB’s Revue. “Tribute to My Soul Sisters” drops next November the 17th on Record Kicks.

The idea for this special project was hatched back in 2014, when she was visiting the producer Dj Pari, head honcho of the Soulpower organization and tight collaborator of soul legends like The Impressions, Lyn Collins and Marva Whitney. While reminiscing about tours with her fellow James Brown veterans, Martha felt that a tribute to the great Soul Sisters of the JB Revue, better known as “James Brown’s Original Funky Divas”, was very much needed. Without further ado, following DJ Pari’s advice, she partnered up with one of the hottest name of the new funk renaissance: Japan’s Osaka Monaurail. This unique collaboration gives new life to 13 soulful pearls, masterfully interpreted as only an Original Funky Diva can do. To name a few: “Think (About It)”, made famous by the female preacher Lyn Collins, “Mama’s Got a Bag of Her Own”, Anna King’s answer to JB “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” and the soul classic “Answer to Mother Popcorn” by Vicki Anderson.

"I looked up to these ladies of soul" says Martha, "Given the opportunity and the pleasure to perform their songs, is my way of saying: thank you, you're not forgotten. To record the music of the Funky Divas would mean a lot to Mr Brown. He always wanted the world to know he had powerful women on stage that could hold his crowd while he was off the stage; they were just as powerful and funky as he was."

Born in Victoria, Virginia and discovered by Rock & Roll pioneer Bo Diddley, Martha took off her career with the soulful, legendary doo-wop group "The Four Jewels”, with whom she scored the national hit 'Opportunity" in 1964. Soon, The Jewels caught the attention of James Brown and joined the “James Brown Revue” in 1966. The Godfather of Soul recorded and released several songs featuring The Jewels until the group disbanded. Nevertheless, Martha stayed with James Brown and continued to work with him as his personal vocalist for 32 years. She was with him at the Boston Garden during the iconic 1968 gig after Martin Luther King’s assassination, she was by his side when he performed at renowned ‘Rumble in The Jungle’ event in Zaire and was on stage with him and "The Legends of Rock & Roll". Mr Brown produced several of Martha’s singles on his own label “People” such as “Georgy Girl", "Try Me" and “Summertime”; meanwhile Martha launched her solo career in 1979 with the self-titled debut LP for “Salsoul Records”. Since then she released five albums under her name and, being one of the “hardest working woman in show business”, she became one of the leading singers of saxophonist Maceo Parker’s legendary funky music machine, working with him for 16 years.
Martha has been carrying the torch of soul music for her whole life, like a true Soul Sister. Now, with this new effort, she is keeping the music of the Funky Divas going, and we are sure that the Godfather of Soul and her faithful audience would appreciate it.

"SuperStudio" anticipates Calibro's new album DECADE that hits the streets next 02 February.

Recorded at the legendary Officine Meccaniche studios in Milan by CALIBRO's usual suspect and Grammy Award winner Tommaso Colliva, "DECADE" marks 10 years of Calibro 35's releases and it's the very first album recorded by Calibro with an orchestral-inspired enlarged line-up.

The new soulful sound of Chicago.

Record Kicks pres. “Think I’m Falling in Love”, the new single by the Chicago Soul outfit The Devonns, which will be released digitally worldwide Friday the 14th of September. This is the second single from the band, which is now working in the studio with Brian Wilsons’ Paul Von Mertens (Mavis Staples, Paul McCartney) on their debut LP.

Following the success of the debut single “Come Back”, “Think I’m Falling in Love” is an uplifting soulful track heavily inspired by the sound of The Impressions and Leroy Hutson. Recorded at Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago, the song relies on the band’s steady groove and it is enriched by the strings’ and the horns’ arrangements. According to the band-leader Mathew Ajjarapu, "The song actually came to me pretty quickly; I was driving to work one day and suddenly the entire guitar lead riff popped into my head, along with the bass line and chords. I instantly knew it was kind of special".

Started in 2016 by the singer and songwriter Mathew Ajjarapu who, after he dropped out of med school found himself drawn over and over to underground soul hits becoming hooked on the grooves and impeccable production and arranging values, The Devonns see the rhythm duty entrusted to Khalyle Hagood (bass) and Khori Wilson (drums), while Cam Cunningham is on the guitar.
