MIMS is excited to premiere a brilliant new remix from pioneering broken beat producer and Bugz in the attic founder, Daz-I-Kue, for Portuguese producer Fradingo. Featuring the brilliant vocals of another broken beat legend, Colonel Red. 

Daz should need little introduction to fans of broken beat and far beyond, thanks to his history as a pioneer of the broken beat sound, both solo and with Bugz in the attic, his residency at legendary broken beat party, Co-Op, the hugely successful DKD project with Dego and Kaidi Tatham and countless remixes, for the likes of Marcos Valle, Frank-N-Dank, El-B, Ty, Dele Sosimi & Medlar, Mark De Clive-Lowe, and 4Hero. Not forgetting his soul, boogie and funk orientated BB Boogie project.

A singer AND producer with esteemed pedigree in funk, soul and electronica, Colonel Red has worked alongside an impressive list of artists including Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker, Bugz In The Attic, Amp Fiddler, Alex Attias, Daz-I-Kue himself, and many more besides. Four albums now bear his name, among them his debut for legendary broken beat label, People, Tokyo Dawn Records, and recently Inkswel's Inner Tribe Records, in collaboration  with the very same producer. 

Hailing from and now back in Portugal after a long tenure in London, Fradinho is a DJ, producer and self-described broken beat fanatic, who has remixed the likes of  Glasgow's Nimbus Sextet, and Str4ta , a collaboration between Gilles Peterson and Incognito's Jean-Paul Maunick aka Bluey, inspired by 80s Brit Funk,

"Much We Have", with Colonel Red will be released on his own Eclectic Beats Music on July 30th, with further remixes by Inkswel and Born74.

An irresistible slice of dancefloor-ready Afro-Brazilian fusion, "Can Do" is taken from Bristol  6-piece Dundundun's second EP for the ever relevant hometown label Worm Discs.

Following their sold-out self-titled EP, Dundundun are poised to share their ‘Future Hope’ EP, featuring special guest, poet, visual artist and filmaker Nadeem Din-Gabisi, and a remix from fellow Bristolian, world renowned DJ & producer Red Rack’em.

Packed with a wealth of experience, Dundundun members have spent the past decade touring the world and darkening studios with The Heavy, Alice Russell, Unforscene, DJ Die, Ben Westbeech, Pete Josef, Dele Sosimi, and Ishmael Ensemble to name but a few - bringing a rich heritage of sound straight out of Bristol’s thriving music scene. Electronic, arpeggiating multi-layered vibrations born from a mutual respect of past musical idioms and future musical legacy.

Their debut LP received love and support from the likes of BBC 6 Music's Gilles Peterson and Tom Ravenscroft, whilst recent support slots with Ashley Henry, Balimaya Project, Nubiyan Twist and Run Logan Run have helped hone the band’s live sound. 

Dundundun are Justin Fellows (Drums), Jackson Lapes (Percussion), Benji Muscat (Bass), Dorian Childs Prophet (Keys + Synths), Ben Plocki (Baritone Sax) and Brian Hargreaves (Tenor Sax).

'Future Hope EP' is released on April 8, available on all streaming platforms, limited vinyl and download via Bandcamp.

Ahead of its release at the end of the week on the mighty First Word Records, MIMS is excited to share "Guili", an undeniably  bodymoving disco funk bomb by Paris/Caen based duo DJ Soulist & Fulgeance. 

French slang for "tickle", 'GUILI' is an epic disco-funk piece inspired by the likes of Azymuth, Herbie Hancock and Marcos Valle, but incorporated with Souleance's trademark sounds of fuzzy bass-heavy electronica, synths and samples, giving the track a fresh contemporary twist.

The forthcoming EP features another cracking song, "Torro" and a remix of "Guili" by Art of Tones. Look out for a limited vinyl 45 too!

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.
