Never Gonna Give You Up

Poppeye Never Gonna Give You Up Previously Unissued Soul

n an ever-expanding musical universe, Azymuth have long existed as a celestial giant, drawing countless artists, musicians and followers into their orbit. Marking fifty years since their 1975 debut album Azimuth, their new album Marca Passo proves that the band’s alchemic brew of Brazilian jazz-funk and cosmic samba soul remains as vital as ever, as the group honours the profound legacy of their departed founders.

Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Marca Passo is the first full-length release since the passing of founding drummer Ivan "Mamão" Conti in 2023, following the earlier loss of keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami in 2012. Alex Malheiros, the sole remaining original member, sees his stewardship of the band’s musical legacy as his spiritual duty. He is joined by the equally devoted Kiko Continentino (Milton Nascimento, Djavan) on keyboards, who has been with the group since 2016, and new recruit Renato Massa (Marcos Valle, Ed Motta) on drums.

Yet since their earliest recorded music, Azymuth have always been far greater than the sum of their parts. The "three-man orchestra’s" unmistakable sound is rooted in Brazil's MPB studio scene of the 1970s and early 1980s—a time when artists blended traditional Brazilian rhythms with global jazz, rock, and emerging psychedelic and progressive elements. Marca Passo continues this legacy, seamlessly fusing Brazilian musical traditions with global influences while showcasing the exceptional musicianship that powers Azymuth's distinctive, multi-dimensional sound.

The album is produced by studio mastermind Daniel Maunick, responsible for Azymuth’s two previous studio albums, Fênix in 2016 and Aurora in 2011. Daniel’s credits also include albums by Marcos Valle, Sabrina Malheiros and Terry Callier. Azymuth also invited Daniel’s father, British jazz-funk royalty Jean Paul “Bluey” Maunick, of Incognito, to play guitar on a new version of Azymuth’s eighties classic “Last Summer In Rio”, in tribute to the song’s composer, José Roberto Bertrami. Equally, “Samba Pro Mamao” is a new composition dedicated to Azymuth’s beloved original drummer, Ivan “Mamão” Conti.

Marca Passo releases on limited edition blue, red & black vinyl LP editions, CD and digitally on the 6th June 2025, via Far Out Recordings, supported by European and North American tours.

From Piccadilly Records.....

That Neil Diablo from Manchester's El Diablo's Social Club shows his edit chops again, joining the Kat label roster for this new four tracker. Kicking things off is 'Cannae Believe', an Italo / New York dubbed out-disco slo-mo electro-disco cut with synth stabs and 'Love Is The Message'-esque pads floating over moody proto-house beats with sassy vocals to boot. Hit! Next up is 'Disco Special', a 'walking' mid-tempo melter which drops guitar-led Balearia, funky bass, arpeggiated synths, syncopated hand claps and space toms a-plenty before lifting off into string-filled ecstacy. Big! 

On the flip we have 'For Your Love' is a slinky 2-step soul gem originally released in 1982 by the Fats Gaines Band and featuring sublime vox by Zorina. Stretched, diced and strung beautifully back together, this has summer anthem written all over it. Finishing things off is 'Christina Debs, Behind Bars''. Presumably by Christina Originally out on Ze Records and produced in Detroit by Don Was in 1984, this low-slung nu-wave disco chugger adds another dimension to proceedings and this EP feels all the mightier for it.

Rave reactions from the likes of Greg Wilson, Futureboogie, Ashley Beedle, Huw Morgan, Tristan da Cunha,  Andy Wilson, Jim Baron aka Ron Basejam, Bonar Bradberry, Red Rack 'Em, Andy Ash, Sean Brosnan, Kev Beadle, and many more.....

Neil Diablo - For Your Love (KAT Records)

Released in 1978 by classical guitarist John Williams and taken from the LP 'Travelling'. This has always been a favourite of mine, but it needed some work to make it playable. 
This is stretched out. I added the pads, synth, congas, vibraphone, piano, and even my cats meow to give it a different feel :-)

John Williams - 'From The Top' (Andy Kidd Remix)
