Dont Back Down Preview Clip

“Uplifting boogie grooves to set your spirit free.” (Paul Kane / Jordan Valley Records)

When The Unbelievable Two appeared on the scene in 2014, their pure underground, analogue boogie and disco sound mirrored what was going on in the vinyl infected bars and small cellar clubs in their hometown of Hamburg/Germany. “The Unbelievable Two” was inspired by the golden age of the genres, played live with skills and insight. Four years later, boogie and disco are all around us. So it is about time that these pioneers release their second album. Honest and authentic, “Power Plant” recalls late 1970s New York Disco and mid 1908s UK Boogie.

The Unbelievable Two still is Mzuzu and Mucka, who lead us through nine new songs of speedy disco, down low boogie and even some smokin’ reggae. Recorded in late 2017 and through the spring of 2018, “Power Plant” tells stories beyond the surface level. “Even though our music is purely instrumental, it doesn’t mean we haven’t got anything to say,” explains Mzuzu, a respected and well-travelled vinyl DJ on the Germany funk/disco scene. “Boogie and disco are a universal language. With the influence of Afro, Latin, Reggae, even European electronic music you do not need a lot of words to tell a story which gets everybody connected. These songs are about our friends, our everyday life, how we life and what we feel.”

„Power Plant“ is available as a limited edition vinyl LP (300 copies).

“Heart Attack” - This is your Uncle Junior’s funk-that Stacy Adams, Black Love incense, Hai Karate groove providing the quintessential backdrop to primping for a night at the spot. Not the club, mind you, or the bar.but the spot. “Don’t Stop” The team of Brian Ellis and Tim Tucker deliver another sure shot with what those in the know like to call that “uptempo, feelgood, ass-wiggling jheri curl music.” Wallflowers need not apply.

Long-time ambassador of Black Music in the UK, club and radio DJ Ronnie Herel presents Neo Soul Sessions Vol. 1, his debut compilation for BBE Music.

Cutting his teeth on the 80’s and 90s club scene in London, MOBO nominated DJ and producer Ronnie Herel has been a powerful champion of high-quality soulful music in the UK for over 3 decades. One of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s first signings, Ronnie went on to scout talent for TV show‚ The Voice’ before finding a new home as head of music at internationally renowned station Mi Soul.

Offering up a meticulously selected selection of hip-hop soul gems, Ronnie Herel’s Neo Soul Sessions Vol. 1 shines a light on a number of incredible artists, singers, songwriters, musicians and producers who find themselves in the netherworld between ‘underground’ and ‘overground’: too accomplished to fall into the former category, yet not ‘mainstream’ enough to fall into the latter. “The fact is” says Herel, “there’s a whole world of smokin’ grooves out there that most of the time gets overlooked for radio playlists; the powers-that- be opting for the more manufactured, purpose-built mainstream record.”

Featuring UK talents Omar, Etta Bond, Children of Zeus and Terri Walker alongside US heroes Foreign Exchange, Phonte, Erro and the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, this collection delivers the very best in contemporary soul from both sides of the Atlantic.

“The words, thoughts, production, love and hard work these artists put into their music is clear for you to hear. Hopefully, you will have made some new discoveries and will continue to explore their music beyond this compilation. I hope there will be many more volumes to come, but we need your support and the artists need your support for that to happen, so tell everyone about this, and enjoy!” – Ronnie Herel

Following the release of ‘Happy Song’, the first single from forthcoming album ‘Break The Wall’, MF Robots reveal the full extended version of the song alongside remixes from Kenny Dope, Kaidi Tatham and Daz-I-Kue.

It’s only right that Kenny Dope should be the first producer to remix Jan Kincaid and Dawn Joseph’s new MF Robots project, considering the trio’s shared musical history. Kenny Dope began reworking Jan’s ‘Brand New Heavies’ material back in the early 90’s as one half of Masters At Work, helping the band reach club-land over and over again with a series of iconic remixes, recorded during the golden era of MAW’s output.

It’s no surprise then that there’s more than a hint of that special, Latin sunshine-infused mid-90’s House sound in Kenny’s rework of Happy Song, which showcases Dawn’s impeccable vocals over an infectious rhythm track and ultra-funky horn stabs. An instrumental version of Kenny’s mix is also included for the House purists, as well as the full, extended original version of Happy Song, packed with tight musicianship and more than its fair share of great grooves.

Pioneers of the UK Broken Beat movement and contributors to its most emblematic group, Bugz In The Attic, it seems almost inconceivable that Kaidi Tatham & Daz-I-Kue have never actually worked on a remix together before. As strange as it may sound, it’s true, and their powerhouse rework of ‘Happy Song’ is most definitely worth the wait.

About MF Robots:

Meeting in 2013 while recording and performing with one of the UK’s most commercially successful Acid Jazz bands, legendary UK drummer Jan Kincaid and vocalist Dawn Joseph discovered immediate musical chemistry and began writing songs together right away. They soon left the band to concentrate on their own work, starting MF Robots (Music For Robots) and releasing an eponymous debut in 2018. The album was so well received that the duo soon morphed into a band as they found themselves in-demand at venues and festivals all over Europe.

Forthcoming long player ‘Break The Wall’ represents a new benchmark for Jan and Dawn, reflecting the MF Robots project coalescing and maturing while fine-tuning their material, both on the road and in the studio.

"Es Hora De Bailar" pretender ser algo más que una selección de canciones mezcladas; aspira a ser un homenaje a todos esos artistas, tanto españoles como latinoamericanos, que en su día orientaron su talento hacia la música negra. Grupos y solistas que, apoyándose muchas de las veces en tecnologías pioneras como cajas de ritmos y sintetizadores, trataban de trasladar el groove y los sonidos que venían de USA a su entorno e idioma. En la abrumadora mayoría de los casos pasaron sin pena ni gloria: sin apenas impacto en los medios de comunicación y por tanto sin posibilidad de desarrollar una carrera. El resto se reorientaron hacia opciones más comerciales o directamente su contribución a este estilo se quedó en una mera anécdota. En cualquier caso, rescatar estas canciones y conseguir que las escuches y bailes, se ha convertido tanto en una obsesión como en una obligación moral para el que escribe. Espero que las disfrutes y compartas.
