Lyrics:

Oh yeah girl you keep me off the ground
with a spin on my head
Hmmm

The skyline leans, tips and turns
I gotta sleep low, take me to my bed
please

Them demons are not easily appeased
My unflinching nerve, i'll hear verse sung of my
chivalry

Oh you can drop my stained trainers right here on the side
Be good to leave one foot on the floor for
me

The evening rose up from a lull to meet it's urgency
a tremor ran down through the company
A few stood down, others fell or saw their saw their chance to leave
and easily men taller and broader than me

I lined the shots and chasers up and lined them up again
in the order served by a legion of serving men
I lit the fumes and vapours and scorched the bristles off my chin
then hurled each down the rank and ravenous den

Herp Alpert - Street Life ( Ramsey Hercules Edit )

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. In fact, I released it some time ago as an exclusive download on the great blog site, Dilated Choonz (http://dilate.choonz.com). This being one of my favorite cuts, growing up in clublife in Chicago, I wanted to give it a slight twist. As my man from Dilated Choonz, Kevvy K said, "Leonard has wisely treated this with a great deal of respect and chosen not to take away from the original production.. instead drawing it out to make it even more haunting and hypnotic." Couldn't have said it any better! 
Enjoy another exclusive edit!

Chico Mann is to release the ‘Same Old Clown EP’ on 4 March through Soundway Records ahead of his forthcoming full length album ‘Magical Thinking’. Featuring the sultry vocals of New York based Kendra Morris, the slinky and catchy album version of ‘Same Old Clown’ is joined here by deeper re-workings from USA DJ and re-edit king Kon (Kon & Amir, Nitetime), who provides both a vocal and dub remix as well as UK producer Linkwood, known in underground circles for his groundbreaking mix of future-boogie, house and detroit techno on Scotland’s excellent Firecracker Recordings imprint.

Guitarist with the band Antibalas, multi instrumentalist and guitarist, Chico Mann (AKA Marcos Garcia) has in the past worked with the likes of TV On The Radio, The Roots and Dam Funk as well as remixing Little Dragon and Alice Russell amongst others.

His most recent LP ‘Analog Drift’ (2010) was released through Wax Poetics Records, an album that he toured throughout the US. Jon Pareles (NY Times) praised his live show’s “far-reaching electronica” that had the ability “to dissolve decades, along with borders”.

Where previous Chico Mann material drew heavily on his afrobeat roots, his upcoming LP ‘Magical Thinking’ taps in to a new vein of thinking, where the 80′s funk, boogie and electro sounds of New York and Miami dominate the sonic landscape. Featuring a selection of guest vocalists, and mixed by Brooklyn producer / musician Jeremy Page (That Handsome Devil), ‘Magical Thinking’ is Chico Mann’s most ambitious and accomplished project to date.

With globe-spanning influences that touch on some of our very favorite genres and musicians, Ottawa's The Souljazz Orchestra and London's Sofrito make for a complementary pair. Both released incendiary albums this year, and as The Souljazz Orchestra prepares for a string of North American dates, the timing is perfect for a collaboration.

Utilizing the original multi-track masters (one of the benefits of keeping things in the family) Sofrito's Frankie Francis has created a masterful re-edit of "Serve And Protect," showcasing some of the fiercest playing on the latest Souljazz LP Solidarity.

The Souljazz Orchestra - Serve And Protect (Frankie Francis - Sofrito ReWork)

It's been about 2 years now that we've been playing this track from the modest and ridiculously talented LP aka Lisa Preston who hails from Wellington, New Zealand. Lisa is known for her singing but stepped away and layered Marvin's vocals with some beautiful percussion, drums, and keys. It wasn't until Soulection Radio Show #115 that we were reminded of how amazing and timeless this Marvin Gaye edit truly is. We then realized that it was never released and decided that we needed to change that. Here we are! Another quality & free gem for you here in 2013. This is yet another reason why we are here to take over. The world needs more quality vibes. Spread this if you feel it. 

"This track is about 7 years old now !  ha ha .... the stems to Marvin Gaye's "What going on" were floating around the internet and everyone in Wellington with an MPC seemed to be making re-edits of the tune. I was pretty novice on the MPC , still am (!) but thought it might be nice to blend some of the percussion from that tune with an acapella I had of 'Sexual Healing'. I had some nice rhodes samples that I'd cut up in my MPC so just kinda fooled around with it and got a nice lil groove going on and here we are years down the line =)"

Luv N’Haight presents Lost Soul; a comprehensive collection of material recorded by Geater Davis for the House Of Orange label. The name of the album is an accurate description of the life and career of the legendary blues and soul singer who passed away at age 38 while on the verge of breaking through.

Geater Davis’ career began in Texas but with the success of a few regional hits he was able to go to Shreveport and all throughout the South. He was always on the move looking for a better chance, keeping his career alive and the “big break” so many artists look for. Just weeks after moving to Dallas he suffered a heart attack and a few weeks later died from heart failure on the day he was supposed to record a session. Although he didn’t find the success he sought while he was alive, his legacy is secure as one of the finest blues-soul singers of the 1970’s.

Geater Davis : My Love Is So Strong For You

From: Change The Beat: The Celluloid Records Story 1979-1987, out March 5th on Strut Records.

Mathematiques Modernes is a duo comprised of Claude Arto, and the "queen of Paris punk," Edwige Braun-Belmore. "Disco Rough," originally released in 1980, features synthesizers heavily, and marries Celluloid Records' French origins with the kind of eclectic, arty dance music that label owner Jean Karakos became enamored with upon visiting New York City.

Change The Beat: The Celluloid Records Story 1979-1987 collects two discs worth of classic sides on the Celluloid label, spanning major contributions from early in the era of recorded hip-hop, experimental dance music, and world music fusions.

As featured on Music For Dancefloors, we present a library gem from one of the heaviest and most sought after of all KPM LPs, Afro Rock, recorded at Morgan Studios by John Cameron and Alan Parker in London in 1973. As well as being a library music veteran (with over a dozen different LPs recorded for KPM and Bruton Music since the '70s), Cameron is a bona fide film composer whose credits include Kes from 1969 and 1973’s A Touch Of Class (starring Glenda Jackson and George Segal) for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

Music For Dancefloors: The KPM Music Library (Deluxe version) is released on April 2nd in three formats: 2CD (original studio recordings and live concert), 2LP featuring the original studio recordings and 2CD insert of the full CD content, and digital (original studio recordings and live concert). The album features the original sleeve notes by Charles Waring (Mojo magazine) alongside extra photos and memorabilia.

This new edition features an exclusive bonus disc, which makes available for the first time the debut gig by the KPM All-Stars, bringing together many of KPM’s greatest composers for a unique night at London’s Jazz Cafe on 27th April 2000.

John Cameron - Swamp Fever (KPM)

In anticipation of the forthcoming Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s and '80s compilation, Soundway release a special remix and edit 12" featuring two tracks from the collection and two exclusives. 

The A side kicks off with Batida's remix of a 1977 benga 45 (Ndiri Ndanogio Niwe) from the Mbiri Young Stars.  Fast 120bpm plus 4/4 rhythms with liquid guitars and machine-gun drumming are married with kuduro drum programming. Second up and surging with sub bass, British production duo The Busy Twist inject The Kalambya Boys' Kivelenge (also from 1977) with a slice of London club culture. Many late 70s Kenyan benga 45s were cut loud and heavy with often ludicrous amounts of low end squeezed onto sides that technically shouldn’t have exceeded three-and-a-half mins but frequently topped five. Perfect fodder for remixes these cuts were way ahead of their time production-wise and sound even more amazing considering the limited equipment Kenyan engineers had at their disposal in the late '70s.

On the flip Sofrito's Frankie Francis subtly tweaks a sublime Nairobi Matata Jazz track from the mid '70s: focusing on the wobbly guitar lines and letting the blaring horns speak for themselves. Consisting of both Kenyan and Congolese musicians Nairobi Matata Jazz were a perfect example of how rumba from Congo (which consumed East Africa in the 1970s) was blended with rat-a-tat-tat benga style Kenyan drum patterns and Swahili language vocals. These same rhythms are in full effect on the last track by the Gatanga Boys Band, edited and chopped up by Hide and Smile (Frankie Francis and Miles Cleret) - super fast instrumental benga guitar and drum interplay, heavy on the cymbals and dynamite on the floor.

Petrichor | On Tides
[Soma364d]

1.	On Tides
2.	Nukumori
3.	Royston Rain

The Petrichor project is the latest incarnation of Simon Stokes and on this EP he returns to a hardware-driven sound creating tactile, organic atmosphere within this immaculately produced output. The name Petrichor refers to the smell of rain after a period of dryness and this unique, specific occurrence offers evocative memory and imagery to anyone who thinks on the meaning. The name is therefore important as many of the ideas conjured up through this impression are relevant to the musical style demonstrated on the EP. A sense of nostalgia, an ethereal and reflective quality and a connection with elemental atmosphere are themes that permeate the music, along with a strong rhythmic core, offering an innovative and expressive new sound. 

Title track On Tides opens the EP and is introduced with notes circling around a central melodic motif. Developed carefully, this part of the track dominates as it builds. The subtle evolution of synth and percussion elements bolsters the track as it rises higher and higher, honing in on a drop. However, the track recedes before the point it traditionally may go over the edge, and begins to build again. The tides of the title are mirrored in the instrumental cycle and the dynamic ebb and flow. Each of the parts introduced is dealt with delicately and expertly.

Nukumori is the next track on the EP and it starts with more prominent percussion. Atmospheric synths come in to fill up the soundscape and the track slowly broadens out into an engrossing sound. The field recordings and vocal samples afford this track a unique, original quality where the dynamics are once more well controlled. The end result is an invigorating and intriguing track that connects emotionally as well as sonically. 

Royston Rain completes this diverse range of tracks offering more unique and highly engaging content. Full and interesting field recordings provide an enchanting entry into the track. The flowing, aqueous noises infer a sense of narrative, as images of floating under rainforest canopies are brought to mind. The melody lines and synth are perfectly sparse and beats are brought in to add impetus at the right moments. This is a stimulating track and well poised, even incorporating some electronic sounds towards the end to frame everything and draw the sounds on into another style and another track. 

This EP and new Petrichor direction are exciting prospects for the young Glaswegian and marks a definite maturity in production technique . A range of quality music is packed into these three tracks making this an EP not to be missed for its scope and unique style.

Some of you are probably asking themselves: Where the fuck has Patrick Chardronnet been the past years?? It's not like he has not been productive. Patrick has been very busy and we are sure most of you have heard his works, even though you had no idea they were his. 

Next to Patrick’s life as a world-travelling music-producer and live-act, he is a well respected sound designer, who has worked for virtually all big german car brands like Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Audi or Volkswagen during the last years. 

But now Patrick is back with a new release on Connaisseur. The style is different from his previous works, more reduced, deep and timeless, but in a certain way totally himself... a real Chardronnet.

Purchace Rodion G.A. - The Lost Tapes

The full story of Romanian genius Rodion Ladislau Roșca and the music he recorded as Rodion G.A. involves the stifling artistic climate of Communist Romania in the early 80s, the ingenuity of amateur recording, obsessive record collecting, early synthesizers, unheard archival recordings, and eventual recognition. Basically the kinds of things that make our heart beat faster! A more comprehensive version of Rodion's history can be read <a href="http://www.strut-records.com/content/musical-magic-unearthed-romania-journey-rodion-ga" target="_blank">here</a>, but a listen to the music alone should be enough to make it clear that there's something special to what Rodion has created. 

The Lost Tapes, the first ever commercially released album of Rodion G.A.'s music, is out now on Strut Records in association with Future Nuggets and Ambassador’s Reception.

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.
