San Francisco Bound (Remix By DJ OBaH)

Featuring Ed Harcourt, the muse of this track is World War II Soviet sniper Roza Shanina. It's taken from Rae & Christian's forthcoming album 'Mercury Rising', released on Late Night Tales' new sub label "Night Time Stories" on 20th October 2013.

"While writing abstractly about love and loss and going to a club of an evening are all passable things to write songs about, sometimes you just want a folk-tinged ode to a Russian female sniper. Thankfully production duo Rae & Christian have delivered just that with their new single, The Ballad of Roza Shanina. Taken from their forthcoming third album, Mercury Rising – their first since 2001's Sleepwalking – it features the soft, crumpled croon of Ed Harcourt and is based on the life of Soviet sniper, Roza Shanina, who fought and died during World War II. Having put herself forward to serve her country following the death of three of her brothers in battle, she went on to become the first Soviet female sniper to be awarded the Order of Glory and died trying to shield a wounded soldier in 1945. It's this context that fuels the lilting strum of The Ballad, with Harcourt singing from the perspective of Shanina and a loved one, the chorus of "Over and over, I'll wait for you, my Roza, my Roza", mocked by the line that precedes it: "one day all the shooting stops...One day came too late for you and me".

The opening track 'Theory of Revolution’ stands out in the area of dub, reggae, beats and roots and features one of our favorite vocalists, the half French-half Greek Georges Perin, participating with his talented voice, delivering unique soulful-funk vocals.

Also featured in the release is a long eight-minute dub version with more music, fewer vocals, dubbed & burned with space echoes to trip out your mind and stack you in the mood.

Second track ‘Liberty is Our Destiny’ brings back the breaks in a dub style with plenty of funk and big bass concept. Here we get the strong vocals and lyrics from another great talent, Gobey, the MC & vocalist from Balkan Riddms and Just Dread. Born in Africa, bred in Greece, this is the man behind the riddim, authentic, real and expressing to the fullest representing one love ideology. Yet another good fellow friend, RSN, appears with his special recorded scratches for the song. An instrumental version is included on the release, as we mind our fans, lovers and collectors, for less vocals music.

Al The X-King is responsible for all the great guitars lines, hooks and melodies on both songs, he is also one of the founders of the well know great Greek band The Burger Project, an extremely talented musician, vocalist and a great guitar player!

New Album Third Wall Chronicles drops March 24th on Sugar Road Records worldwide.

Third Wall Chronicles

Mud (feat. Ivan Neville)

When DJ, producer and songwriter Danny Massure moved home to San Diego, he teamed up with a new group of musicians. The result is "Busted". Four new tracks that are original compositions with live instrumentation and no samples. 

The EP starts off with the title track, "Busted", a banging afrobeat tune. 

"Knuckle Sandwich" lays low with an infectious 60s/70s latin swagger. 

On "No Saint" Danny called up his favorite singer and long time collaborator Miya Collins from Seattle. Miya's catchy lyrics and soulful vocals over Danny's funk produced a sassy funk anthem for the ladies who aren't tryin' to get played. 

"Fix It" rolls into the late night, chopping Miya's vocals over a house groove for DJs transitioning from funk and afrobeat into a jackin' house set. 

Diesler, one of Danny's favorite producers, flips "Busted" into a relentless afro-chugger that builds pressure with an acid bassline. 

Atlanta duo CaZ laces a pair of boogie shoes on "Busted" for a trip to afro-disco land finished off with analog synths, afro vocals and a stompy shuffle.  

Shantisan transforms "Knuckle Sandwich" into a bouncy afro-house track with a pounding beat, african vocals and instrumentation and a 70s flavor.  

Ed Royal takes us back to the glory days of house with a stompy beat and grooving bassline on his remix of "Fix It".  

Zamali brings the sexy to the funk on his uplifting disco-breaks remix of "Fix It".  

Trotter aims to destroy the dancefloor with his nufunk breakbeat twist on "No Saint" which is sure to be a hit with the midtempo breaks crowd.

Our new album ‘Reachin’ Up’ is OUT NOW! Listen here 👇
https://fanlink.to/reachinup

Let’s take this thing it higher. 

Anyone familiar with the Pimps of Joytime live experience knows the feeling—it’s that moment when a deep bluesy groove morphs into a full-on EDM explosion, or the sensation when the wide-eyed audience collectively elevates in sync with the band’s irresistible energy.

On Jukestone Paradise, the Pimps of Joytime raise the bar with swagger to spare, crafting ten cohesive songs that ring out like the soundtrack for a ride through the diverse Brooklyn neighborhood where their sound materialized.  Pulling from lead guitarist and singer Brian J’s deep discography of influences, the creation of Jukestone Paradise began a decade ago, when he penned anthems like “Sky” and “Freedom Dancer,” all the way up to the album’s studio recording sessions.

You might accurately call the Pimps of Joytime a ‘post-genre’ band; they’re a group whose sound—even within a single song—mirrors the diversity of our era’s musical tastes. “It’s a sonic tapestry that’s representative of this time and place that we live in,” says Brian J. 

That’s where the Pimps excel, by mashing up ‘70s funk tones with modern dance beats, mixed with original samples creating their mosaic sound. For listeners weary of today’s DJ culture but eager to dance with abandon, the Pimps of Joytime are the antidote. 

“At our core, the Pimps of Joytime are not just dance music,” says Brian J of the band’s three-part harmony attack. “My first vocal mentor was a doo-wop singer, so I have a long-time love affair with vocal harmonies.”

With the release of Jukestone Paradise, the band makes official their solid touring lineup, featuring dual female vocalists and percussionists Mayteana Morales and Cole WilliamsX. And they’re hitting the road hard, continuing a constant touring schedule that’s already left prominent sets at festivals like Voodoo, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and High Sierra in their wake.

Behind the frontlines are bassist/keyboardist David Bailis and drummer John Staten, forming the rhythmic backbone of the Pimps’ audible collage. And for Jukestone Paradise, they called in a few friends to lend their talents, including Ivan Neville, who lends New Orleans flavor to “Sky,” and Rubblebucket’s Alex Toth, who co-wrote the quirky and infectious “Dance Cardia.” 

Just as Brooklyn has changed since the Pimps started, so has the band’s sound. But as Williamsburg gentrifies, the Pimps of Joytime’s diverse evolution keeps the neighborhood’s spirit alive. That spirit goes into the Pimps’ pot, over a soulful roux of rhythm and groove.
