Release Info:

Finally, the battle is about to reach its thrilling finale after three exhausting rounds. Our pugilists are staggering on their feet and the bookies are running around frantically, taking the final bets. Will the Bad Guys suckerpunch the Good Guys into oblivion, or does team Good have an epic deathmove in store for its malevolent adversaries?

Amsterdam native Nachtbraker steps back into the arena for the fourth chapter in the saga. The Quartet Series label boss and Heist and Dirt Crew mainstay has defected to the bright and sunny Good Guys. Piano chords, chopper effects and toms are the main ingredients of his funk-laden and groovy energy drink. Better than steroids they say. Laurence Guy (Church, Rose Records) joins forces – or heads in this particular case with a much-needed supplement that tugs on your heartstrings with its lush keys and deep pads. This London lad has been stirring up the scene with his flawless and addictive chords, not to mention the big support he’s getting from maestro Move D.

Will this dapper duo be strong enough to floor the misfits featured on the flip? Great precaution is imperative with two heavyweights in the other corner. First mr. Tommy Vicari Jnr (Cabinet Records, YAY Recordings, AMMO84) comes barging in. This Sheffield veteran has been making killer cuts for years now and is about to step into the ring with his slamming snares, and wonkly wobbly bassline swinging around a phat kick. To keep both The Bad Guys feet on the ground LK (Shall not Fade, Hokkaido Dance Club) adds some extra meat with a deep, heavy bassgroove, while a sexy vocal and steady chords create that gangsta vibe that will boost the Bad Guys’ confidence.

Enjoy this last round of the first Quartet in the Series. More to come next year.

Quartet Series is a fresh imprint, run by Maurits Verwoerd (Nachtbraker), with four releases in the pipeline, featuring four different artists and commissioned storyboard comics on the sleeve. To see how the story unravels, you’ll need to catch them all... Special thanks to Giuseppe D’Alessandro (KiSk).

A2 - Laurence Guy - Love & Be Loved

The venue was far too busy. Smoke filled every coner of the room and condensation dripped from the ceiling. He had no idea where his friend had vanished to. Somewhere within the crowd she was now lost to the mercy of music and movement. As he looked through the body of shadows he could see very little which might give any indication as to her whereabouts. He started to panic, started to dance because he had little choice and continued to move between the sea of darkness. He needed her now, his friend. 

Kerem Akdag appears on a new EP for Apparel Music as part of a sixth birthday release edition. His charming take on a sound which has been commonly associated with South London sees him get deep.

PREMIERE: Kerem Akdag - Friend [Apparel Music]

Man of many labels Marcel Vogel turns out some of his most impressive material on Intimate Friends, bringing other talents into the fold to share in his vision of soul, funk, disco and house how it should be done. Having released the Human Beings album last year, Vogel invites a stellar cast to come and remix several tracks with predictably fantastic results. NY*AK enlists the honey-coated Rhodes skills of Mark Hand on their version of "Human Being", and it's an absolute joy to listen to. Meanwhile SoulPhiction gets into an equally heart-warming groove when he tackles "Always Isn't Only". Soul Clap meanwhile bring a little more party functionality to "Moonchild" before Simba offers up a very different, low-slung and laid back version.

One of Italy’s finest purveyors of jazzy and soulful house beats, Academy alumnus Broke One, returns this February with a new EP. ‘This Thing Called Reality’ collects four tasteful takes on Big Bait Records’ random color series with 555 individually colored records. “Don’t Fight the Feeling,” the second groove on the record’s A-side, is built around Herbie Hancock’s musings on what he learned about mistakes from Miles Davis. The tune itself bears strong traces of a jazz signature and will slide nicely into your crates next to the likes of Max Graef and Theo Parrish.

Broke One’s ‘This Thing Called Reality’ EP is out February 5th via Big Bait Records and can be ordered here: https://brokeone.bandcamp.com/album/this-thing-called-reality

Compilation For Dominica

Chord Memory Band - Laffeyette

Premiere: James Rudie - Port Funk (CoOp Presents : Selectors Assemble)

Track: JPS
Artists: Nikitch & Kuna Maze
Label: Tru Thoughts
EP: Mush (out 22 March)

“Mush” is the new EP from French duo Nikitch & Kuna Maze. Pushing the limits of their debut EP “Cake” on Cascade Records, the group build on their signature sound; an animated opus of moods, with five tracks sprawling across jazz, progressive house, footwork, broken beat and downtempo. 
Their debut release on Tru Thoughts, “Mush” has received upfront support from Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Laurent Garnier, Nightmares on Wax, Supreme Standards, Tina Edwards (Worldwide FM), Kid Fonque (Selective Styles/5FM), Tim Garcia (Jazz FM) and Toshio Matsuura. 
“JPS” is a metrical expression traversing the boundaries between hip-hop, jazz, funk, broken beat and footwork; as Detroiters voice clip narrates the pulsating sounds of Canadian lo-fi disco – ruminant of Mood Hut.

Now in its 20th year, Tru Thoughts is a Brighton-based independent record label with a global roster including the likes of Quantic, Alice Russell, Moonchild, Anchorsong, Flowdan and Hot 8 Brass Band.
