Taken from Dilla's 2001 BBE Music debut solo album Welcome 2 Detroit, 'Big Booty Express' gets the remix treatment from German duo Âme, Parisian Pépé Bradock and London's Coda Deep.

Alongside the OG version these new productions add up to a six track exploration of Dilla's tribute to Detroit's melding of the Motor City's Black music heritage with Kraftwerk's experimental Euroelectro.

Contributing two mixes to the EP, Parisian producer Pépé Bradock AKA Julien Auger first forays into music were after learning guitar as a 14 year old and playing with various Jazz- Funk bands. At this time he also started DJing with Hip-Hop bands and turning his hand to producing their tracks.

As the 90s progressed he also discovered Techno and House music. His musical influences range from Jazz to Dub Reggae and he has remixed for Blaze, Cassius and Alex Gopher among others.

Also providing a remix of Big Booty Express is the German production duo of Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer who work together under the name of Âme. After first meeting in Kristian's record shop in their home town of Karlsruhe and bonding over a shared love of Chicago House and Detroit Techno the pair started working together and producing records for Sonar Kollektiv in 2003.

The final two remixes on the Big Booty Express EP and only included on the digital package come from the Londoner Coda Deep. Influenced by avant-garde Electronica, Nu Wave and African Tribal sounds, he is a DJ and producer playing deep and melodic Tech and Techno and will also be known to music fans for his 2019 BBE release 'The Running of the Bulls'.

This EP of remixes sits very well alongside the catalogue of J Dilla releases on BBE Music and adds to the rich heritage of innovative beat making and music production that we can associate with Dilla and those he worked with.

We had to wait five odd years to finally manage to release the very first record entirely produced by Kisk on Apparel Tronic. The label’s co-founder and co-owner put together a stunning experimental mini LP called ‘Weeks’, which contains seven tracks, named after every day of the week from ‘Monday’ to ‘Sunday’. The digital album features a vast range of sonic experimentations, applied on several different tempos and epitomises Kisk’s urgency of changing, during a very defined time span, his perspective on music production. The hard-hitting rhythm sections, the creamy bass-lines and the frantic, eerie atmospheres that he is able to display in ‘Weeks’ haven’t always been the cornerstone characteristics of his musical formation, which so-far have been rotating pretty much around Jazzy House, Jungle and Trip-Hop. However, the style exercise he put in place with this LP explains his tireless determination for finding new motivations, new stimuli and perfectly represents his puzzled, unorthodox, curious personality. ‘Weeks’ is the most accurate example of his versatility and we’re thrilled to introduce you to it, on Apparel Tronic, always on the lookout for innovation, newness and sonic mutation.

Release Text:
79.5 is the sound of New York City. The Brooklyn-based band presents their forthcoming self-titled album on Razor-N-Tape.

Soulful and psychedelic, the collection’s masterful melodies may be hard to categorize, from 70’s underground disco to acid jazz to sugary sweet pop. Its very existence is a protest of the old boy’s club in the music industry. And, a personal triumph against all odds, while illuminating the most beautiful collaboration between friends.

79.5 is singer, songwriter and composer Kate Mattison, singer and rapper Lola Adanna, drummer Caito Sanchez (Charles Bradley, Lee Fields), bassist Andrew Raposo (Midnight Magic, Hess Is More) and sax player + flautist Izaak Mills.

PREMIERE: 79​.​5 - Fight Or Fall [Razor-N-Tape]

Ziggy Zeitgeist (30/70 and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange) adds a "techno-funk" touch on this irresistible remix of "Obana" by Energy Exchange Ensemble, led by Lewis Moody and Ziggy himself, with striking guest vocals from King Owusu (Jemba Groove).

The remix captures a vision of Afro-futurism that the duo of Ziggy Zeitgeist and King (Eric) Owusu have been working towards in recent years . With Owusu’s deep roots in Afrobeat and the highlife music of West Africa meeting the ‘techno-funk’ sensibilities of Zeitgeist's recent productions. The Obana ‘808 mix’ epitomises the light and sensuality of Afrobeat with the rigid coldness of German minimalism.

Long time collaborators and pioneers of Melbourne’s indefinable underground sound, through collectives like 30/70 and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, Lewis Moody and Ziggy Zeitgeist reunite on their latest project, Energy Exchange Ensemble, or simply EX Ensemble. Their contemporary organically engineered dance music is inspired by collaboration and that “special sauce” born from improvised jam-style musicianship.

The forthcoming ‘Energy Exchange Records Vol 1.’ pays homage to the transcultural projects curated by iconic label, ECM, capturing the impassioned spirit of spontaneity. Delivering a fully realised debut deeply rooted by a core house band that facilitates a flow of many ideas to take shape in an innovative form, where amorphous sound reigns supreme. 

Garnering a slew of genre-defying musicians from Melbourne, London and Berlin for their debut album, self-produced and released on their own label Energy Exchange Records started alongside Benjamin Tramaille, an emerging house-producer releasing music under his moniker Maytra (Local Talk, Visions Recordings), Energy Exchange Records Vol 1. is available on digital and 12” LP format on September 8th 2023.

‘Obana’ meaning ‘Ebony’ in Ga, a Kwa language spoken in and around Accra, Ghana, is a deep electronic groove-driven track with chuggy baselines and delivers a refreshing respite midway through, showcasing the vocal prowess of Eric Owusu (Jemba Groove, Pat Thomas, Ebo Taylor).

Eric broke down the meaning behind the song for us: "When we take our precious time and moments to observe the things that are happening around us today, in which some of them does not feel right, one begins to wonder why those things are not going in the right direction. For example, some of the challenges of individual daily life and in our society, and so people demand answers as to why many things are not feeling right,..and "Obana" explore the curiosity, of seeing a lot of people wanting to have an answer as to what they do not understand ... so it says "You can only know and discover if only you ask of what you do not understand".

Ziggy Zeitgeist is a producer, DJ and Drummer, first coming to global attention as drummer and founding member of Australian Nu-Soul/future-jazz collective ’30/70’. Ziggy’s music has received support from the likes of tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Byron the Aquarius and Alexander Nut. Appearing on countless international festival stages and releasing music on seminal labels such as Blue Note, Brownswood Recordings and Rhythm Section as bandleader of ‘Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange’. 

Lewis Moody is a Melbourne-born, London-based producer/mix engineer/keyboard player, playing with the likes of soul-singer Cherise, drummer Myele Manzanza and jazz crossover mainstays Nubiyan Twist, hailing from his studio Harness 7 in Hackney. Moody is also working alongside legendary promoters and label Secretsundaze as musical director for their ‘Spirit of Sundaze Ensemble’, having performed at Southbank Centre, Kala Festival and tipped for release in late 2023.

Release Info:
We are very excited to welcome yet another new talent to Dirt Crew Recordings! J. Peacock is a Blackpool born artist, raised on Northern Soul and nurtured in the Manchester music scene. In 2015, he started making and releasing techno under the moniker Joel John. More recently, he has turned his focus closer to home, inspired by uplifting house music produced by friends, and sampling his favourite records played by his dad over the years. Last year he released a first collab track with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade”.

J.Peacock's “The Praying Kind EP” marks a new musical chapter: combining nostalgia and dance floor energy. In his own words: “The goal was to just have fun, experimenting with a new way of making music to what I’ve been doing previously. Taking influence from artists I used to listen to constantly like Soundstream, Cottam, Boo Williams as well as artists close to me like Harry Wolfman and Laurence Guy. This record is about creating something that gives me flashbacks to my dad playing tunes in his flat.”

The opener “Philly Track” is a true original House tune reminiscent of those classic records in the early 90s, think of the Paris French wave sounds or New York style cut up and filtered “good times” dance floor hitters.

“Silk Road” starts out as a tribal groover with some great vocal sampling going on, this one is much more situated in the Bass and UK style areas of House Music. Again with a big touch of Soul and deepness all around.

Then on to the breaks laden “Midnight Standard”. Here J. Peacock shows us another side of his musical spectrum, much more in the regions of a Harry Wolfman production even with touches of progressive breaks. A really great dark and smoke filled club tune!

Closing out with the title track “The Praying Kind” he opens up all filters here and brings us a great banger of a track. Slowly building towards that big middle break to unleash a real dance floor monster. This one should tear it up anywhere!

Enjoy this lovely soulful, diverse House EP by J. Peacock! Surely a great start to his new project!

Future Funk is a journey through time. Inspired mostly by gems from the 80ies, 90ies and different parts of the world. Moiety always keeps exploring and finding inspiration in different places. Most of the tracks on the album stuck with him for years and he felt that they were now ripe enough to release on the first Moiety album after many different releases spread over the years.
