Any Keith Mansfield brass arrangement is gold, but this is crazy funky...sweet percussion too. 
Great track, thanks!

Such a massive Edit i discovered thanks to Idjust Boys on Nuphonic year ago !!

Made this quick edit for a new mix and thought I'd upload. The groove in the original only lasts for a minute and I needed more of it.

El Michels Affair- Too Late To Turn Back (Timber Edit)

First time on 45 for Hawaiian boogie queen Nohelani Cypriano. Previously an LP only track and a killer at that, flipped with one of my favorite under the radar tracks but Nohelani, Essential. Properly licensed from the lady herself.

Nohelani Cypriano - Lihue   (Athens of the North 007)

It's Valentine's Day, and the new DopeGems record is on point with that special occasion... Heartfelt, soulful performances from the vaults of early quiet storm is what it's all about.

Two beautiful tracks from the golden era of symphonic soul ballads rearranged as rich and intense small group instrumentals.

As an added 'secret' threat, those who know and recognize 'game' will be delighted to see this music reflect either side of their persona.

DOPEGEMS  "Travelling Man"

Funny how i came across this simple but brief project from years ago! Cleaning out the external hard drive i came across this edit of the Young Disciples. One of my favorite Acid Jazz, Downtempo groups from the early 90's that i discovered via Talkin' Loud! Talkin' Loud is an amazing label that pumped out forward thinking electronic & eclectic sounds in the 90's. In the scheme of things, was the infamous Giles Peterson, "mr. world wide" to many us that check out his show from time to time.

Official Mr Bongo reissue of the ultra-rare album by ‘Super Elcados’. A fusion of heavyweight Nigerian funk, soul & disco, originally released by EMI Nigeria in 1976.

The ‘Super Elcados’ (and ’Elcados’ on other recordings) recorded three albums in the mid and late-70’s, this is their first. It was followed by ‘This World Is Full Of Injustice’ and ‘What Ever You Need’.

Togetherness Is Always A Good Venture - Tambourine Party Vol. 2

Afro Funk

One of Brazil’s most prolific artists, Eumir Deodato has participated in the creation of over 450 albums, racked up 16 platinum records, won a Grammy (and received two more nominations), and sold over 250 million records in the USA alone. Over the course of his career, he has written for, arranged music by and played with artists including Frank Sinatra, Tom Jobim, Kool & The Gang, Earth, Wind & Fire, Marcos Valle, Aretha Franklin and Bjork, among others.

At the height of Deodato’s productivity in the early 70s, Os Catedraticos 73 was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and New York, featuring a Brazilian rhythm section including Azymuth drummer Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti, percussion master Orlandivo, and Sergio Barroso on bass, while the horn section features some of the big apple’s top players from the CTI in-house brass.

A firm favourite with rare-groove enthusiasts and fans of Latin jazz alike, Deodato melds the musical sensibility of post-bossa nova Brazilian jazz with North American soul & funk, and the explosive Latin influences of ‘70s New York. Os Catedraticos 73 certainly swings harder than some of Deodato’s earlier releases and opening track ‘Arranha Ceu’ (Skyscrapers) is a euphoric dance floor classic, which has been lighting up clubs for years.

With the blessing of Deodato himself, this official Far Out reissue has been remastered and pressed to 180g vinyl, with replica original artwork from the OG Equipe release.

Bonus edit of the Keith Mansfield library classic "Crash Course" from Waiwan. The original version appears on Music For Dancefloors: The KPM Music Library, out now on Strut.

More on Waiwan:
Based in Manchester, Waiwan was a forward-thinking fixture of the nu jazz, trip hop and electronic scene in the UK during the late '90s and broke through with his dark Distraction album and 'Goddess' single in '98, both on short-lived label Autonomy. As a remixer, he added his production class anyone from Fertile Ground to Simple Minds and his excellent KPM edit of Keith Mansfield's 'Crash Course' was played by both the jazz scene (Russ Dewbury, Rainer Truby, Jazzanova) and nu disco scenes alike, appearing on Idjut Boys Saturday Nite Live compilation.
