First ever official reissue of Zamba Zamba by Peruvian band Sangre Joven! Originally released in 1975 by MAG (Lima | Peru) the 7inch vinyl is hardly available and a rare latin gem. Any information about Sangre Joven is just as rare as the vinyl: there is in fact nothing about the band to be found on the internet.

Nevertheless, with a little help by a peruvian friend we got some details: "Zamba Zamba" is a peruvian version of the track "Samba Samba" by Colombian brothers Elkin & Nelson, who moved to Spain in the 70s. The band Sangre Joven consists of musicians from the famous Peruvian group Nil's Jazz Ensemble of jazz musician, composer and arranger Nilo Espinosa. When their musical direction changed, they switched their name to Sangre Joven and released a funky & discoid album and one single on the Peruvian label MAG in 1975. Both original pressings are very difficult to find nowadays, so we're more than happy to release this on Matasuna Records! The track was restored from the reel to reel master tapes and also got a new mastering by Carvery (London).

In addition to the original Zamba Zamba version, the DJ & producer Voodoocuts contributed a superb edit to this 7inch and both tracks spread a sunny Afro-Latin vibe that catches you immediately. While the original is perfect for a relaxed set on the beach, the Voodoocuts' Edit is a real killer tune for the dancefloor. The funky acoustic guitar perfectly harmonized with the electric piano and the super sweet vocals on the percussive breaks will really heat you up! As always: a seven inch not to be missed!

After their brilliant debut on Resense, SoulBrigada returns with two new cuts. Following the proven formula, two classic Funk & Soul joints get the SoulBrigada treatment to fire up the dancefloors again.

'Help' is a Northern Soul gem from the midwest - from 1969. The raw & funky sound of the song follows with great perfection a JB style, which is complemented by the sweet soul voice of the singer. The SoulBrigada-Edit focuses even more on the percussive side of the song and the extension provides a real dancefloor filler.

'Love U Baby' is a great Soultune, which was also released in 1969 by a vocal duo from the southwest of the USA. The song stands out because of its funkiness and the great interaction of the two singers. The rework provides the right dose of funk with additional drums, repetitive editing and expansion.

The Jig is a 7-piece funk outfit from Amsterdam with heart-warming, gut-grinding, knee-bending, filthy instrumental originals.
Last year The Jig was a valued guest at several Dutch festivals and clubs. They played with tenorhero Hans Dulfer in Amsterdam's Bitterzoet and pumped up the afterparty of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings in Paradiso. 
At the end of 2010 they gigged in some respected clubs in New York City (Nublu, Kenny's Castaways) and recorded an album in the studio of Ken Rich (David Byrne, Lou Reed, Tracy Bonham, Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed). The album is mastered in Studio 150 by masterwizard Zlaya (Sonic Youth, New Cool Collective). 
Twelve cosmopolitan energetic tracks bring you the funkspirit the way you like it. Stylish and soulful, with contemporary urge.
The Jig consists of some of the most generous musicians Holland has to offer: bandmembers played for a.o. Caro Emerald, Speelman & Speelman, Boris van der Lek, De Hardheid, Clous van Mechelen...
Sweat in the buttcrack, sir!
