We're so happy to announce the next arrival in our 7” series with OUTTA SIGHT, two incredibly unique and loving treatments of a soul classic.

On the A side we have Kan Sano’s signature future soul approach, accentuating the beautiful original vocals with lush pianos and sparse boom-bappity drums. Freddie Joachim flips it for the B side, channeling the juke-joint energy of the OG into a soulful house killer!!

Ready for take-off from Soul Clap Records mission control is a very unique release beaming directly from the mothership itself. On our recent journey flying alongside George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, we've had the distinct privilege of meeting some of the many insiders who oil the multi-faceted funk machine. An incredible example is Chuck "Da Fonk" Fishman, who along Clinton's nephew Sa'D "The Hourchild" Ali have became our liaisons to Dr. Funkenstein himself! It is no surprise that these gentlemen have explored their own musical directions outside of P-Funk and it is with great honor that we present FSQ!

FSQ is a production team led by Chuck "Da Fonk" Fishman featuring contributions from Sa'D "The Hourchild" Ali, G Koop (part of George Clinton's production team), Chas Bronz (Bostonian and friend of Soul Clap Records) and One Era. The name is an acronym for "Funk Style Quality" - three elements that make up the core ethos of FSQ's sound. 

Just as FSQ derives from deep musical history, so does the latest record called "Zulu Congo Call".

In Fishman's words:

"In about 2005, [we] started working a lot with members of the free jazz movement, John Coltrane acolytes and the like. We were introduced to saxophonist / flautist Prince Lasha who was living in Oakland via Philadelphia based saxophonist / flautist Byard Lancaster who previously joined [us] on several releases. Both legends have since passed on, which emphasizes our passion to try and record with members of the greatest generations of musicians. I was happy with what myself and G Koop did with Prince Lasha, reinventing his 1962 song with Sonny Simmons, "Congo Call" from a straight ahead jazz number to a disco funk song, "Zulu Congo Call" but the song never saw a proper release."

This EP features a reworked original by Chas Bronz plus remixes from One Era, AbJo (from the Soulection crew) and Mr CV, all curated by Chuck "Da Fonk" Fishman. Lastly as a musical bonus we've included FSQ's superb remix of Nick Monaco's "Naked Is My Nature", which takes a total bath in Northern Soul and throwback psychedelic feeling!

FSQ - Zulu Congo Call (Original Mix feat. G Koop & Chas Bronz)

It's no secret that Treasure Fingers and The Knocks KNOW how to get down. So when these fine gentlemen ask "do you want to?" y'all better answer in the affirmative! Give it up to the slinky, bass-laced grooves of "DYWT" and house your body directly into the sunset.

Alternating between suave strains and exultant rhythms, oscillating between melancholy and hopefulness, Slow It Down’s harmony culminates in a grand saxophone solo and sets up the perfect first glimpse into Solar Satisfaction.

Manganas Garden - Slow It Down

The All Good Funk Alliance drop a new EP featuring 4 different styles of funk for their
Super Hi-Fi label. “Make it Go-Go” featuring Big Tony of Trouble Funk has that classic DC Go-
Go sound but updated for the 2000’s. It's full of clanking percussion, horn blasts, and funky
synths making for a dope mid-tempo jam.
“Do Work” featuring Mustafa Akbar, goes for that Motown sound but updated in that
Mayer Hawthorne meets Mark Ronson way. This one is really catchy and you will find yourself
singing along to it.
“Funk This Jam” featuring Soul Suit is classic AGFA. A funky mid-tempo number that
feels like something that they would have put out on Funk Weapons back in the day. It's got call
and response vocals and insane breakdowns. Classic AGFA!
Finally we have “On - Off Boogie”. This nu-disco funk jam has got some squawky talk
box, funky beats, and really intricate synth work. It leans more on AGFA's “boogie funk” style
which rounds out this EP perfectly.

Having wowed tastemakers across the board with her debut album, “Barefoot In Your Kitchen”, in 2012 (Gilles Peterson made it his Album of the Week a year ago) saucy songstress and culinary linguist Bev Lee Harling returns with a one-off single covering one of her favourite songs of all time.

The Peggy Lee classic, “Why Don’t You Do Right?”, was recorded by many artists in the 1950’s and 60’s, including Della Reese, whose version provided the inspiration for this take, but seemed to have become a bit of a forgotten gem for contemporary recording artists, until now that is.

This limited edition 7-inch release features a pair of cracking mixes from two of Europe’s finest production outfits with an ear for a classic tune and a touch of jazz.

Italy’s Suonho has found fame recently with his tasteful edits, on-point remixes and his recent re-versions of Brazilian classics. Here he takes Bev’s interpretation to the dance floor with a bass heavy four-to-the-floor mix that will please jazz and house heads alike.

On the flip, our very own Colman Brothers are back, adding a little of their trademark ‘Cha Cha’ magic to Bev’s sassy vocals, and creating a mid-tempo shuffler that should please fans of both them and the lady herself!

The original vocal version is also available via an accompanying digital package, and should help stave off the hunger for more Bev Lee Harling material until her new album drops in early 2014.

"I really, really like this!" Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music (UK)

"I really love Bev's voice and generally like her unique sound! She really does have a great sound that stands out & grabs me!" DJ Format (UK)

"A luscious mix of lounging soul, pots’n’pans percussion and kitchen sink drama." Wrongtom, Tru Thoughts (UK)

Richie Weeks has been very influential to me and no matter the few releases during the early 80's, Weeks & Co is a prime example of disco-synth, proto-boogie, electro-jam action. 
I tried bringing in some more drums ,percussion and effects to get a modern feel while preserve and extend the original groove. @  118 BPM. 
Be kind and drop a comment if you download :)

Weeks & Company - Go With The Flow (DJ Butcher Club Dub)

Tracklist and interview here: http://www.thehouseofdisco.com/2013/06/satin-jackets-guestmix.html

It's been a while since our last guestmix, and what better way to keep it lit then with an exclusive mix from an artist that's a housemate of the label and a friend, Satin Jackets. The last year has been a big one for this German based outfit (no pun intended) with releases currently sitting high on Beatport charts, productions in great demand, a worldwide following and the kicking off of the first series of live shows all over the place. Judging by the outfits work ethos this is only going to be the tip of the iceberg. 

Satin Jackets trademark sound is slow, sultry and brimming with optimism and todays mix reinforces this aesthetic. With a BPM that's in no hurry this mix is full of summer heat. With plenty of hooky vocals and a non pretentious approach to track selection this typifies Satin Jackets ethos of music to make you smile. We caught up with Tim and Den to ask them a few questions, some pertinent and some pointless.
