Moullinex - To Be Clear (Kraak & Smaak Remix)

Quasamodo is known for keeping it funky under various guises over the years. We loved his Can’t Hold Me Down EP so much that when he sent in his album we knew straight away that it would have the Jalapeno Funk all over it. Expect that out in 2014. Here is an exclusive taster featuring his long-time collaborator and soul songstress Thaliah. The man can rap too!

For their second album, See-I, 
Washington, DC’s most prodigious live band, have built on the sound and success of their debut record to create a work that comes straight from the heart. As leaders of the Reggae-Soul Movement, they continue to expand their scope infusing the new album, “Knowledge Shine Bright” with elements of Funk, House, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, R&B and Rock. The record is marked by dazzling guest appear- ances by rappers Mr Lif & Flex Mathews and chanteuses Candice Mills & Edy Blu who bring muscle and soul to this collection of 12 songs. Intimate yet expansive, “Knowledge Shine Bright” is a 50 minute sonic journey that few contemporary bands have the fortitude to conjure.

Founded by brothers Arthur “Rootz” Steele and Archie “Zeebo” Steele, who have toured and performed for over 15 years as frontmen for the Thievery Corporation live band. See-I is comprised of Rob Myers on guitar, Ashish Vyas on bass, Jeff Franca on drums, Frank Mitchell on saxophone and Salem Steele on keyboards, all of whom live within the 10 x 10 mile square known as Babylon, er… the Nation’s Capital. From humble beginnings in North Carolina, the Steele Brothers got their start singing in the church choir and were soon transfixed by the funk, soul and rock sounds they heard on the radio in the 1970s. Decades of musical depth and experience are the secret weapons they bring to the table, both live and in the studio.

“Knowledge Shine Bright” opens with “Never Give Up,” a deeply-moving Reggae tune, written while on tour by Rootz and Zeebo memorializing their mother who passed at the time. Although a Reggae groove infuses all of the album there are many notable musical departures. “The Chase” finds Rootz singing over a House beat fused to Afropop guitars, “Rudeboy Razor” melds Rock and Hip Hop, “Musical Murder” slithers from Dancehall to World Beat, ending in a sitar-drenched outro courtesy of Rob Myers (Thievery Corpo- ration’s “Lebanese Blonde”), “Queen of Sheba” and “Revolution” find the band getting in touch with their feminine side with vocalists Edy Blu and Candice Mills burying their sexy and profound lyrics deep into the groove, and on “The Boogieman” the inimitable Mr Lif finds his flow to be the perfect match for the track’s quirky, P-Funk pseudo-political jibber-jabber. And the title track? Well, you’ll just have to hear for yourself how a contemporary band can bring so much old school wisdom and soul to light.

Following the great success of Detroit Swindle's "Boxed Out" Album we present you the second single take out. Their collaboration with Mayer Hawthorne on “64 Ways" already gained massive support from DJ's and radio stations around the globe in the past weeks and we're proud to present you this remix pack with none other than Kerri Chandler, Kraak & Smaak and Detroit Swindle's remix of Detroit Swindle (Inception anyone?).

It's an honor to have one of the godfathers of House: Kerri Chandler on remix duties. He has been a great supporter of the guys over the past years, often showing off his piano skill over "Guess What" and generally supporting a lot of The Swindlers tunes. He turned the original version of "64 Ways" in a true Kerri "Kaoz" Chandler tune with the use of his trademark key progressions and drums. Don't miss out on the instrumental if vocals aren't really your thing.

The second remix is done by the guys themselves and oh boy what a monster tune it is! Stripped down to just a few basics from the original, adding a lovely filtered key loop, they made a deep dance floor burner in true Swindle style: "swing, drop, and everything else".

As a final to this fine remix pack we asked fellow Dutch house heads Kraak & Smaak to return the favor on the remix tip after Detroit Swindle remixed their track "The future is yours" with Ben Westbeech. They came up with a full on Disco House stomper, with a bass line that will stick with you for the rest of the day and an irresistible disco feel.

Have fun dancing to these great cuts! we for sure can't sit still :)
