Don't You Wanna Go (Mark Wayward Edit)

Funkshone take the next step in bringing you this new 45 on Bandoni Music, a new label set up by Mike himself. This is the first single in what is hoped will become a long line of successful Funk and Soul 45's on this new imprint. Only 300 copies are to be made and sold. Each hand numbered with a personal message in every copy. 
Just like the very first Funkshone 45 (Purification Pts 1&2) this one features the incredible musicianship of The Easy Access Orchestra (Herbaliser/Roots Manuva/Just Jack) on Brass, Wind and Flute and Mike playing everything else that you hear. Just like old times then! Yes there are heavy drums and bass, that cutting 70's wah on guitar and clav, rhodes, percussion and of course that all important relentless brass and flute. 

You can also expect to hear new Funkshone material on Skyline recordings in the near future too. We're back!
This. Is. FUNK!

The Empresarios are finishing off a great year where they played the Joshua Tree Music Festival, the Funk Parade in Washington, DC in addition to touring California and the East Coast. However their biggest accomplishment of 2016 was launching their own independent record label Empresarios Musica.  After releasing three remix EPs, the Empresarios are finishing strong with The Vibes Remixed album.

In addition to the twelve amazing remixes already released, The Vibes Remixed album features a few brand new exclusive remixes that cannot be found anywhere else. First up is Stereo 77's remix of Pa' La Calle and he does just that, taking it to the street!  Stereo 77 is originally from Puerto Rico and now resides in Orlando, Florida where he is a regular on the club circuit. You can hear his experience as a club DJj loud and clear with electro-synth stabs and pulsing bass throughout his future house remix.

Next up is another hot remix of Pa' La Calle, but this time by Greek production duo Funkin' Basstards who take the original in a different direction altogether. Fans of funky breaks are going to love this remix as the Funkin' Basstards beef up the original with some chunky breakbeats, break downs and heavy bass lines. This one will be a favorite with DJs and radio jockeys looking to add some fresh and funky Latin breaks to the mix.

The final new remix on this album will make you very happy, it is Bedside's tropical house remix of Alegria.  Bedside are a production duo from Miami and you can hear that South Florida vibe in their remix! They have added live instrumentation to great effect, and the horns are amazing. This deep house groove is perfect for pool parties and late nights, oozing with Miami Beach sexiness.

In addition to these three new remixes, The Vibes Remixed album includes the previously released remixes which have been making waves around the world. The list of remixers reads like a who's of who of hot producers from around the world; Lack Jemmon, Jayl Funk, Senor Griff, DJ Clairvo and Balkan Riddims from Europe, Dany F from Colombia, and Kinky Electric Noise, Bobby C Sound TV and Ursula 1000 from the USA. Calling on some hometown talent from Washington, DC you will also findremixes by Farid, Desmond Williams and MILK$.

The Empresarios story is unique, they are a group of musicians and DJs who met on the dance floors and nightclubs of Washington, DC and they have remained true to their roots with this remix album.  They have enlisted the talent of some amazing producers from around the world to reinterpret and remix their original music for the dance floor.  From house and funk to glitch-hop, dub and breaks there is something for everybody on this release and these tunes are sure to get people dancing and grooving.

Quarantine Flight Pt. 3 (What's It Matter Mix)

"Matasuna Records" has found another musical treat from the African continent for its latest release - a song by the Ghanaian musician "Mawuli Decker". It was released in 1983 on the rare and sought-after album "Ayo Special" and is available for the first time as a 7inch vinyl single, which is supplemented by an edit from "Renegades Of Jazz". The esteemed London label "Kalita Records" was able to provide the audio material for new masters and is also acting as music publisher with the new "Kalita Music Publishing".

Mawuli Decker was born in 1949 in Ghana, where he also grew up. His musicality has been given to him from an early age, so that he not only attracts attention as a singer, but also plays drums, percussion and bongo. He played in various dance bands, which were very popular in Ghana especially from the middle of the last century onwards and made the Ghanaian highlife known beyond the borders. He has played in various dance bands such as New Planets, Sawaaba Sounds, The Tops, Caprice 73, The Volta Pioneers and others, which have performed in Ghana and other West African countries.
His first release was in 1975 with the band "Dzobi Soundz" on the Polydor label. Further releases of projects with his participation followed, until 1983 when he recorded his album "Ayo Special" at "Otodi Studio" in Lome (Togo) with an illustrious group of musicians.
He is still deeply rooted in music and performs in West Africa and is still very active in recording.

On the A-side is the original version of the song "Lololi-Lomko", sung in the "EWE" language, which is spoken in the south of Ghana as well as the southern parts of Togo. "Lololi" means "There's Still More Love" and "Lomko" stands for "Please love me" - classical themes that have appeared in countless songs in music history. Although a certain catchiness of the track cannot be denied, it doesn't seem cheesy at any point. Mawuli, who also contributes the vocals, creates perfectly formed harmonies through his compositions and arrangements, which are especially apparent in the bassline, guitars & brass and of course the vocals.

This was certainly also the idea behind the edit of "Renegades of Jazz" on the B-side, which did not want to break up and alienate the organic composition. Listening closely reveals the approach: a steady tempo, a more powerful bassline and additional drums and percussions bring the song back directly to where it belongs: to the dancefloors of this world!
