Bellies & Brass by Nickodemus & Zeb

It was June in 1971, and the streets of NE Washington, DC were alive with the anticipation of summer freedom. Eight 
students at McKinley Tech High School were daydreaming of national fame; but  it was a desired recognition borne not of 
sports talents, or top of the class academics, or impromptu a cappella performances still common on DC's street corners. 
No, their dreams stemmed from the results of countless hours of band practice. Individual musical talents combined into 
one highly energetic mass of instrumentation and vocals that demanded community support, a kind of multi-layered soul 
music reminiscent of pocket locked JB’s with an over-zealous Booker T. Kids had been calling the group "The Sound 
Affect Band", but as the summer cooled and prepared to father a new school year, the band members desired a change. 
The boys began referring to their aggregate collective as "Mugo Kenyatta", meaning "wise musicians" in Swahelli. 
 
And now in 2011 Kay-Dee Records has put together these recording's which is a almost a unreleased album of material  
with featuring mixes from "Kenny Dope" at his Kay-Dee Studio.

Gotan Project: Diferente ...Bad Bass Drop re-edit

This new cut from Daymé Arocena - a re-imagining of Peven Everett's dancefloor shaker 'Stuck' - comes from her new One Takes EP. The EP finds Daymé Arocena bouncing around ideas with label boss Gilles Peterson & co-producer Simbad to put her unique spin on five different covers. Re-imagining cuts ranging from Italian obscurities to US house heroes, the sessions (as you might guess from the title) were about taking down whichever ideas came first. Working in a tradition of covers that's long been ingrained in jazz as well as Latin music, One Takes finds them taking that approach and running with it.

It's a perfect vehicle for Daymé to bridge musical worlds in a way that's always come naturally. With an upbringing split between classical training, early jazz greats like Billie Holiday and the spiritual and musical foundations of the Santería religion, she's grown up seeing the bigger picture. 

Daymé Arocena - Stuck

Umbo is back on Timewarp imprint with a heavy roasted nufunk EP Sunday Jam.

Grand opener is the self titled Sunday Jam feat. Goran Schmidt on the Saxophone. As the title states it is indeed a great jam funk tune to blow your minds featuring a great baseline, amazing solo saxophone and heavy funk guitars. Basement Freaks remixes and recreates a nudisco/nufunk floor-filler track while Audio InFunktion transforms the song into a well done funk breakbeat to the bone groove.

The second song Keep That Beat feat. Mila continues the journey with soulful and funky vocals from Mila. With a crazy fast clavinet and big breakbeats the song drives through the amazing baseline. Label boss Timewarp inc slows down the song with his remix by adding elegant and stylish keys and afro vibes over the original. Cayetano closes the Ep with his downtempo funk groove rework.

Track 1,4,5,6 analogue taped by Umbo. Mastered by Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos.

Umbo – Sunday Jam EP will be available on April 22, 2013 for sale in special edition CDR and digital download at timewarpstore and all mp3 retailers across the internet.
