Soul singer Alexia Coley from West London and German producer David Hanke aka Renegades Of Jazz team up for 'Magic Touch', an up tempo Soulshaker par excellence.

Originally conceived but not marked for inclusion in Hanke’s 2019 Nevertheless album release, Magic Touch was a masterpiece waiting to happen.

A big fan of Alexia Coley’s debut release, Keep the Faith, Hanke sort out Coley to complete the track with her unique voice and lyric writing. The sublime result of their collaboration was recorded by Nick Manasseh at The Yard, London.

A one listen only moment for Our Label Records supremo, Gu made it an essential release for the Germany based label.

"Tales of Another Direction is a compilation of tracks gathered from our favourite beatmakers. The jazzy-cinematic theme is present throughout the whole project, each artist adding his very unique atmosphere. From the jazzy and acoustic vibe of Savages to Kognitif’s abstract beats as well as the powerful snares of Al’Tarba and the typical jazz breaks of Hugo Kant, you will recognize the influence of many genres. Dusty samples and heavy breaks are common elements on the production method used by these talented artists from the downtempo/abstract trip-hop scene. A project with a very symbolic meaning to our label."

Even based on a book by John Milton "Paradise Regain'd" is the remixed version of Paradise Lost.
Starting with it's mellifluous title track, Paradise Regain'd shows the remixing skills of some great producers around. Titeknots turns "Neverday" into a House-ish Club anthem while Jim Dunloop is
taking "Death Grip" into the Funk corner. Hot Border Special are giving the "Cannibal Royal" a special Afrofunk treatment and Cinema City / Copycat from Australia have worked out a great cinematic version of "Neverday".
All remixes by Skeewiff, Smoove and Cadien of the Fire EP with Aspects are also included as well as some special versions of Renegades Of Jazz a.k.a. David Hanke himself; don't miss his Blues/Gospel version of "Imperial Breed" with Greg Blackman and the Spike The Punch Mix of Hellesens with Dylan Kennaway.

Following the launch of 'RBB: Rhymes, Beats & Brass', we wanted to work with lots of the amazing artists we've come across at shows, festivals and through recommendations from fans. The 'RBB: Rhymes, Beats & Brass (Remixed)' album is the result.

From the funky flute opening of Hugo Kant's twist on 'The Shakedown', to the dubby, crunchy bass of Danny Drive-Thru's version of 'Zealots', some of the world's best artists and producers have been let loose on the horns, brass, scratches and vocals from Renegade Brass Band - and it's a brilliant set of tracks that they've created!

'Verschwurbelt' is a German phrase I use to describe this style of Jazz. It's a slang word that means: complex, muddled or wooly. It's a word I think most accurately describes the sound.

So it's 'verschwurbelter Jazz' ... enjoy!

After releasing his 'Moyo Wangu' album in late 2016 where David Hanke connected to the time he spent in his early childhood in Arusha/Tanzania, it's now time for 'Moyo Zaidi', the remixed version of the original album. While 'Moyo Wangu' was translated as 'My Heart', 'Moyo Zaidi' can be translated as 'Heart Returned'.

The original songs have been reworked by twelve producers and DJs from all across the scene and continents. From America over Europe to Australia and from Funk over Cumbia and Dub to Deep House and Downbeat this remix album is a bounty stack of styles and directions.
Funk versions from Moscow, Lisboa and London, some Cumbia from Brisbane, a Dub treatment from Los Angeles, Afrodisco comes from Bogotá, soulful Downbeat from the Black Forest and London, a slow mover from Hamburg and twisted Deep House from Amsterdam, Belgrad and London.

Were David Hanke to pass on from this mortal coil tomorrow, Nevertheless might prove his perfect epitaph. It’s a refreshingly honest and somewhat autobiographical long-player that harks back to his early twenty first century musical influences but actually has its route much earlier in this self-styled Renegade Of Jazz’s life. 

And while barely taking a breath, the heat continues with infectious, super hot funk jam Light Me Up, featuring Clair Fallows of The Impellers fame. It’s a modern take on a classic sound and having already stamped his Hip-Hop card, Hanke is keen to point to the Funk and Soul influences that have shaped his musical journey.

"Matasuna Records" kicks off 2021 with another 7inch. This record features two remixes by German DJ and producer "David Hanke" aka "Renegades Of Jazz", for Afro-latin Funk bands "Brownout" and "Jungle Fire". Brownout's remix was first released in 2013 via Paris DJs on a very limited run of 45s and quickly became very sought after. By painstakingly cutting every instrument's individual notes, increasing the tempo and adding in a punchy breakbeat at the end, David turned "Flaximus" into an up-tempo dancefloor hit.

Jungle FIre's song "Comencemos" that appears on the B side is a cover version of Fela Ransome-Kuti's song "Let's Start".David added some more Afrofunk elements to the Jungle Fire version and builds a bridge to the original Fela version with the additional elements. The Jungle Fire remix is previously unreleased and will be available on vinyl for the first time.

"David Hanke" has been linked to "Matasuna Records" since our early days, when he released his "Dem Juju Poets" debut album on Matasuna in 2017. Most recently he delivered a dancefloor-friendly edit of "Mawuli Decker's" "Mololi-Lomko" at the end of 2020, again released on Matasuna. David is constantly producing and surprises regularly with new musical projects, restlessly trying to develop and refine his sound. With his new label, "Bathurst", he created a home for all his electronic music projects. Bathurst follows the notion of not focusing on any formats or genres, but caring more about the electronic music Hanke adores.

Nine-piece band "Brownout" from Austin/Texas, was formed in 2005 by members of the Grammy Award-winning Latin orchestra "Grupo Fantasma" and have since become a musical force of their own. In addition to three Austin Music Awards, the band has performed at countless events and festivals and has regularly toured the U.S. also as highly sought-after backing band for artists like Prince, GZA and many more. Their albums and singles have been released on labels like "Freestyle Records", "Ubiquity" or "Fat Beats".

"Jungle Fire" is an Afrolatin Funk band from Los Angeles known for their authentic and highly explosive sound. They quickly gained attention of the local Los Angeles scene and beyond, which led to their first release on the Funk and Soul label "Colemine". Other releases have been released on "Nacional Records", "Paris DJs" and "Razor N Tape". Their second album "Jambú" debuted at #4 on the Billboard Latin charts in February 2017 which led to numerous features in several movies, commercials and TV shows. They create a unique Afro-Tropical sound by combining West African rhythms with heavy funk elements.
