Sydney, Australia’s Omegaman made a big splash Stateside last summer with  El O’Man Boogaloo, his debut release on Fort Knox Recordings. 
A longtime producer, collaborator and remixer, Omegaman has already left a mark on the international funk and breaks scene. Always looking to push the funky envelope of groovy breakbeats mixed with Latin and Reggae flavors, Omegaman employs seemingly super-human powers to meld a rotating cast of horns, sweat, percussion and vocalists.
For his new Hot Sauce EP, Omegaman draws upon his atlas of contacts to craft a global groove sure to please his devotees. The prolific vocalist Patou of Melbourne Ska Orchestra is featured on Lovers Skank, a wicked ska stepper that will get the dancefloor skankin’ out! A tropical Latin vibe follows on Oye Como Suena, a thick slice of Latin funk featuring guest vocalist Frankie Rosado of the Empresarios. Omegaman tapped longtime Fort Knox Five and Thunderball vocalist Mustafa Akbar of Nappy Riddem for the upbeat ragga-funk tune Follow Me, rock steady reggae for the heads. And the EP ends on a strong note, with guest vocals from Vincent Sebastian of the Afro-Colombian group Watussi on A Bailar, a funky salsa groove sure to get the people dancing.

Omegaman has been producing music, djing and performing live in bands for many years, and that deep musical experience shines on this EP where his distinctive, funky, breakbeat sound is allowed to conquers the realms of Ska, Latin, Reggae, Funk, Salsa and Beyond.

Info :
A few months ago we received some bootleg MP3s of Grant Phabao riddims that had leaked on the p2p, credited to the 'Booty Smash Soundsystem'. It's probably the same guys who sent us a copy of this glorious 7 inch, for which they said 'only 100 copies were pressed, in Jamaica'...

Stevie's magic voice on Phabao's 'new vintage' 70s reggae production works so well we decided to share this track with you - Reggae Soul at its best!

You can hear the Cee-Lo vs Phabao bootleg in the Molesting Laura Vol.7 mix by Grant Phabao & Djouls, from way back in May 2007 - Soulful hip hop dressed in classy reggae stylings...

Stevie Wonder VS Grant Phabao - Uptight (Reggae)

Reggae comes from Mento, Ska and Rocksteady. When Reggae invented dub and toasting, it gave America the technology and ideas which led to Hip Hop's emceeing (later known as rapping) and scratching. Thus Hip Hop was born. Even Gangsta rap came from Dancehall — both speaking about the violence from their neighborhoods.

Now let's take the thing full circle, and have a modern, fast rapper toasting over a punchy & roots ska instrumental! It'll be anachronic for sure, but might be deeply groovy too… cos' it's all nothing but the good stuff.

This "Champion Sound" tune is a piece of art for sure, but it ain't gonna end in a museum though. Instead, it's gonna bring some heavy duty MADNESS on the dancefloors not afraid to tear the roof off !!

In two weeks, Paris DJs' crowdfunding campaign to press this gem on VINYL (along with two handfuls of other musical mischiefs from Chicagoan rapper RacecaR and French producer Grant Phabao) will end.

Timewarp inc - Tropicaliente EP 

Catalogue No: TMDG 164
Release Date: May 12, 2017
Media: Digital & Special Edition CDR
File Under: DUB / TROPICAL / FUNK

The long awaited release from the man behind the label is now true! Timewarp inc returns with a killer new release under the name: Tropicaliente EP. 

Travel your mind, your body and your soul into the exotic places that Timewarp a.k.a Angelos Stoumpos tried to bring in life through his music. The recipe is simple; all three tracks on the EP are under a common root, thats the Dub, the growing plant births the first twigs, yes thats the funk, and finally we can see the leaves; well yes thats the tropical mood, colorful, happy, sweet, alive and organic! Many great artists participating in this brand new release. 

Half French and half Greek Georges Perin appears on the opening Tropicaliente track with his magical English / French joyful oh mama vocals, the lyrics were written with his partner Panagiotis Skraparlis. In this song Al The X-King is responsible for the great performing with his Ukelele. While 7x Greek DMC champion, world finalist legend Sparky T gave his great talented skills, he scratched a few special elements on the track. The rising little star Timewarp Junior appears on the track with his little sweet voice, learning the real word! An instrumental version of the track is also included on the release. 

Reggae on Dope is the next stop. Timewarp tried to give a different breath to his music, approaching reggae & funk with a tropical-mediterranean touch. The result is an amazing non-ordinary track. With his silver flute, Tasos Fotiou is the man behind this great performance. He played precisely the theme melody as Timewarp cached it first on the keyboards, but in the end he gave an extra solo performance with a unique character. Al The X-King is responsible for the great Cuban like chords and the smoked dub and reggae muted guitar riffs. At last Mister Kentro performed the accordion melody line as it was written from Timewarp on the keyboards. Well, thats a dope track indeed! 

Dub in Disco is next, and as the title states it, here you can expect some disco style, slow & down-tempo but yet full groovy with a tropical dub style. Tasos Fotiou participated by providing his great style with a heavy sax section theme score build up. Al The X-King did his thing once again with his dub and reggae style vibes all over the track with his great guitar riffs. The result is a floating dance track, with big dub disco beats and grooves. 

Audiophile Analog Mastering: Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos. 

Cover Design: Vagelis Phocas. 


Timewarp inc - Tropicaliente EP will be available on May 12th, 2017 for sale in special edition CDR and digital download at timewarpstore and all mp3 retailers across the internet.

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!
https://shockthealgorithm.bandcamp.com/album/ultraviolet-cosmos

Its business as usual in The Smokey Bandits house: bass lines come and go, trumpets sitting lazy in the living room, accordions and trombones melting around, congas, maracas and bongos arguing about the last Tarantino's film, flutes want to take the leadership, old-school Waltzes n’Tangos drinking a big bottle of champagne, guitars and Rhodes sitting
comfortably in the sofa watching (one more time) "Smokey And The Bandit" (their favorite film).
