What do you get when you cross the legendary group harmony of the Impressions, with the savvy production stylings of Daptone’s very own master of ceremonies and guitar dynamo, Binky Griptite?  Easy, you get one of the finest collaborations that has ever been realized onto 7 inches of high quality vinyl. Ladies and gentlemen we present to the greater Daptone Universe, the first single by The Impressions in over 30 Years.  Featuring original members, Fred Cash, Sam Gooden, as well as Reggie Torrian, who has been singing with the group since the early ‘70s – this single is the sweet soulful beauty you’d expect from the Impressions. No cheesy synthetic instruments or tryin-to-stay-contemporary 'beats' here. This is real soul music played by a real band and how sweet it is!

 "Rhythm" the aptly titled A-Side, is a Curtis Mayfield penned tune that was a big hit for Major Lance in the Mid-Sixties. The Impressions revive this classic with their iconic sophisticated harmonies and a new horn arrangement by "The 4th Impression", Johnny Pate himself, that moves the song along at a laid back, yet dance friendly pace. This track is Soul of the highest order.  Get the 45 at www.shopdaptonerecords.com/

With this record, The Como Mamas join forces with the boys of Menahan Street Band (billed pseudonymously here as The Radiant Rhythm Band) to lay bare the funkier side of gospel music. 

“The rhythms we all play were already right there in their vocals,” explains drummer Homer Steinweiss, “so it felt natural to lay down the grooves behind them.” Thomas “T-N-T” Brenneck, the up-and-coming producer who brought us both Menahan Street Band and Charles Bradley, presided over the collaboration, which took place in the old Dunham Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The Como Mamas - Out of the Wilderness

Al Green- Summertime

Void Deck Confessions is a Singaporean R&B / electro-soul track — humid, honest, and full of heart.
A man speaks quietly under HDB lights after the rain, sharing the kind of truths you only say when nobody’s watching.

Built on slow, heavy groove and warm synths, the song mixes English and Singlish — raw emotion wrapped in the sounds of the city.
You can almost feel the rain on the tiles, hear the MRT hum in the distance, and smell the kopi cooling beside him.

It’s not drama, not heartbreak for show — just one of those real, late-night talks we’ve all had before.
A love story from the void deck — simple, true, and forever Singaporean.

🎶 Style: R&B / Electro-Soul / Urban Singapore Sound
🗣️ Language: English + Singlish
📍 Origin: Singapore, 2025
💡 Mood: Reflective, masculine, late-night honesty

Void Deck Confessions（楼下的告白） 是一首来自新加坡的 R&B / 电音灵魂曲，潮湿、诚实、充满人情味。
一个男人在雨后的组屋走廊下，面对着灯光，倾诉那些他从未说出口的真心话。

节奏缓慢而深沉，温暖的合成器与城市的呼吸融合在一起。
你能感受到雨的味道、远处地铁的声音，还有那杯没喝完的咖啡香。
这是一首属于夜晚的歌，也是属于每个沉默的新加坡人的心声。

🎶 风格： R&B / 电音灵魂 / 都市声音
🗣️ 语言： 英语 + 新加坡式英语 (Singlish) + 中文
📍 来源： 新加坡，2025
💡 氛围： 怀旧、真诚、带着男人的温柔与倔强

Void Deck Confessions ialah lagu R&B / jiwa elektro dari Singapura — lembap, jujur, dan penuh rasa.
Seorang lelaki berdiri di bawah lampu HDB selepas hujan, meluahkan kata-kata yang lama terpendam dalam hati.

Rentak perlahan dengan bass yang dalam dan bunyi synth yang hangat mencipta suasana malam di bandar.
Kau boleh rasa angin lembap, dengar bunyi MRT di kejauhan, dan bau kopi dari kedai bawah blok.
Inilah suara sebenar Singapura — tenang tapi berapi, sunyi tapi hidup.

🎶 Gaya: R&B / Electro-Soul / Suara Bandar Singapura
🗣️ Bahasa: Bahasa Inggeris + Singlish + Bahasa Melayu
📍 Asal: Singapura, 2025
💡 Suasana: Jujur, lelaki sejati, emosi lewat malam

Perception Productions, a New York based label that ran from the late 60s through until 1974, was a strangely eclectic affair. Its roster stretched from a radical Afro-American poet through to the pop band King Harvest whose hit ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ became a massive hit for the UK band Toploader a couple of decades later. The inbetween points covered jazz, funk, vocal harmony soul and proto-disco. In fact distilled down into this compilation the label provides us a view of Manhattan’s black music scene of the period, from the established greats to the fresh young things who would make their mark in the coming years. The two men who ran the label, President Terry Phillips and Boo Frazier burned brightly for that half a decade before almost entirely disappearing from the music scene.

Dark, triumphant and mysterious; the new Menahan Street band 45 single "Light's Out" conjures images of hard-fighting pugilists battling it out under a bare bulb, of a matador's graceful execution of a lumbering bull, of sweat, romance and victory.  Brought in by a rollicking, almost tipsy, Hammond melody and backed by a smoky smooth guitar line, “Keep Coming Back” eventually erupts into a swanky nightlife anthem, complete with red velvet curtains and a garnished highball.
