Roberta has been one of the hottest deep house producers in the underground over the past few years. Shunning all conventional wisdom for “success” in dance music, her visage and persona remain shrouded in mystery. Instead, she eschews social media and all internet nonsense in favor of letting the music do the talking. Her distinctive sound flips shards of classic tracks into rugged and fresh soulful house jams, doing major dancefloor damage for James Duncan’s Innermoods, Kai Alcè’s NDATL, and her own Night Moves label. After a quiet 2021, she now teams up with Worldship Music on The Brooklyn Ave. Sessions to kick off 2022 with another fine selection of music, sure to please any discerning house or garage head. 

Lead cut “This Song Is For You” utilizes snippets of spoken vocals alongside an extremely funky bassline to grab the attention of dancers, spreading positive vibes all around. On Greg Royal’s “Pur Royale Dub”, things are stripped back and echoed out, with a snippet of a funk classic also making an appearance. 

Organic percussion, R&B keys, and sultry vocals signal a smoother approach on “Gentle Is My Love”, with house strings and a sax break accentuating that feeling. Simplicity is key here, just a few parts work together flawlessly to craft a big mood. 

Flipping over to the B side reveals “Anything You Want” which is the highest energy cut on the EP. Deft sample chopping and another excellent bassline make for an irresistible groove. Worldship heads Teflon Dons take the reigns on their “Did This For the Shelter” remix, which increases the grime and the darkness for a perfect late night garage dub. 

Fans of Worldship and Roberta will not be surprised to hear just how well their respective sounds mesh together on The Brooklyn Ave. Sessions.

Change Request & Saucy Lady - Be Dramatic

“20/20 Vision have enlisted disco overlords Crazy P to curate a brand new series of records for the label, with exclusive tracks produced by some of their favorite artists on the cards. Designed to stretch beyond the world of disco and showcase the band's wide-ranging and eclectic musical tastes, there'll be Balearic moments, downtempo beats, indie dance, and electronica spread over four vinyl records.

Volume One kicks things off in style with a brand new track from Crazy P themselves, 'People (We Can Transform)', a slinky medium-paced groove run through with a slowly opening acid line, funky guitars, and an uplifting vocal. 

Elsewhere, Ashley Beedle declares 'War On The Bullshit (Revive)' with a barnstorming dance floor stomper and Felix Dickinson remixes ASHRR's 'Fizzy' into a classy noir instrumental where jazz funk keyboards swirl around a rock solid b-line. Change Request & Saucy Lady close the whole affair with soul-drenched diva-fest 'Be Dramatic', definitely the most old skool of the lot. It all bodes very well for the next three installments.”

Fouk's @Outplay label has been home to some of our favourite EP's of the last few years. It's a label which always focusses on quality over quantity delivering EP's which are perfectly now but equally are just enough out there to help nudge the scene forward. Italian producers @sofa-talk and @xlregular's Afro Quarters EP fits perfectly in this modus operandi.

The EP features four tracks of club edged jazz infused broken beat. It's a sizzling proposition and another rather brilliant addition to the Outplay discography.

Check out the fully throbbing title track here and then jump over to LV online for more on the release via: https://levisiteuronline.com/music/sofatalk-afro-quarters-outplay/

Afro Quarters EP

Afro Quarters

LV Premier - Sofatalk & XL Regular - Afro Quarters [Outplay]

During the summer youth program of 1970 and '71 at St Paul's Catholic church
a young Tunnie Smith was singled out by Father George Artist for his outstanding singing
abilities. 
He was soon introduced to Joe Delpit and Reginal Brown to sing along with their show and
dance band "The 13Th Amendments. It didn't take long before Tunnie was a full member of the 
band and became a featured singer performing throughout Louisiana.
After a year and a half of performing at nightclubs, military bases and universities Tunnie landed
a record deal with Rick Hall's Fame/UA record label.
His first single from 1973 was a wonderful mid-tempo number entitled "Finders Aren't Always Keepers"
flipped with "Do That To Me"
It gained National distribution and had some good success. Tunnie left Fame records and was 
introduced to Stax record executives Al Bell and John Smith.
After signing with Stax Tunnie met legendary writer and performer David Porter where they recorded
an album which was scheduled for release around 73/74.Unfortunately Staxs association with CBS came to a halt
and the project got shelved.
Tunnie went home and carried on performing around the Louisiana area with his new band Sweet Music Orchestra"
Fast forward to 1983 Tunnie whilst recording some vocals at River City Recording met Chicago producer
and arranger George "Paco" Patterson.  George was musical director and had worked with The Isley Brothers
Wilson Pickett and many other well known artists.
During this period Tunnie along with George formed a great partnership and along with some top session musicians
record some incredibly lush, well produced and atmospheric songs
The A Side "Dancing On Da Cloud" kicks of with female backing vocals and cascading strings layered over each other
to create a full bodied 2 Step Rare Groove classic, which we can only compare in the highest esteem to an
out take from Marvin Gaye or Leon Ware.  It oozes sheer class with rasping horns and Tunnie showing he 
hasn't lost any of the singing prowess he got singled out for as a young boy in1971.
"I Found A Miracle" is a slightly slower affair than the A side but still kicks a punch. It starts with pounding drums
and again those cascading strings whilst Tunnie's scatting vocals flow until the verse arrives.
It is a powerful beat ballad-esque song that sits perfectly back to back with "Dancing On Da Cloud."
We at Super Disco Edits are very excited to be able to bring you the first instalment of Mr TUNNIE SMITH!

Before we call it the end of the week we have an exclusive premiere to share from one of our favourite producers, Sofatalk, with his new cut "Strut" for Boogie Cafe, featuring Veezo & The Mechanical Man.

SofaTalk is known for his wide ranging tastes that spans house, funk, neo-soul, jazz, broken beat and downtempo. He's the founder of Cognitiva Records and has a monthly residency on the ever-growing Universal Rhythms. His sounds can be found on Banoffee Pies Records, Yam, Ini Movement, Tusk Wax, Broken District, Omena, and Anma.

'Million Toes EP' is a collection of loungey deep house and intricate broken beat, laced with live instrumentation, the result being this wonderfully jazzy EP. It is comprised of four electronic jazz-funk infused house tracks.

"Strut" is a smooth percussive house jam, with soft and gentle jazz chords, dreamy layers and atmospherics that really kicks the EP off nicely with much of the same to follow.

After signing with Stax Tunnie met legendary writer and performer David Porter where they recorded
an album which was scheduled for release around 73/74.Unfortunately Staxs association with CBS came to a halt
and the project got shelved.
From those session arose the wonderful "U And Me Together", leading on from the well produced "Finders Keepers" cut the song builds up with an epic 1:30 string and drum arrangement that really sets the picture for Tunnie to arrive with vocals way above his young age would suggest. A story of a boy and girl determined to make it and be the great combination that their love affair deserves. We cant believe a gem like this has been waiting to come out. And should have catapulted Tunnie to the next level or artist rosters. 
Alas, Tunnie went home and carried on performing around the Louisiana area with his new band Sweet Music Orchestra"
Fast forward to 1983 Tunnie whilst recording some vocals at River City Recording met Chicago producer
and arranger George "Paco" Patterson.  George was musical director and had worked with The Isley Brothers
Wilson Pickett and many other well known artists.
During this period Tunnie along with George formed a great partnership and along with some top session musicians
record some incredibly lush, well produced and atmospheric songs
The A Side "Join Together " is from the same session as "Dancing On Da Clouds" and could have easily be picked for his first single on Pass The Baton records. It oozes the same heavy production with opening piano cords and layered scatting then bosh, in comes the drums and Vox taking you on a mesmerising space like 2 step extravaganza . So there you have it, once again two amazing slices of soul on one single from Tunnie Smith. Lets hope this artists finally reaches his potential from that young man who stated recoding in 1973.
