Shir Khan &amp; Exploited dip their toes into the world of disco edits with the launch of new label Black Jukebox which sees contributions from label regulars Homework as well as introducing the Hamburg axis Doctor Dru &amp; Adana Twins into the fold. Doctor Dru&amp;Adana Twins lead the way with their slo-mo housed-up boogie-soul joint "Juicy Fruit". Alongside it "Supreme" dips into housier territory with the primitive scratching and rising piano lines giving proceedings an 80s sensation soaked with twilight niceties. Both tracks are presented it in a nicely recut fashion reminiscent of the great Tiger &amp; Woods. On the flip Homework transforming "Lenny" into a glistening disco house number whilst "Love Ray" is perhaps the most straight up excursion into main room filtered disco house territory.

Kabooki Jukebox – Big Back & Sweet Crack: The Harlem Heat
Original Soundtrack to the Blaxploitation Film That Never Was

From the vault of dreams and reels that never rolled comes Big Back & Sweet Crack – The Harlem Heat — the soundtrack to a film that was too raw, too righteous, and too real to ever hit the screen.

Kabooki Jukebox resurrects the soul cinema spirit with a funk-laced, smoke-drenched score that channels the storytelling swagger of Isaac Hayes and the conscious cool of Curtis Mayfield. Every track paints scenes of Harlem in full heat: velvet nightclubs, streetwise hustles, rooftop chases, and slow-burn seductions under sodium lights.

Though the film never existed, the music makes it real — a sonic screenplay built from groove, grit, and guts. Big Back & Sweet Crack isn’t just a soundtrack. It’s a universe imagined in wah-wah riffs, string-laced tension, and basslines with a blade in their boot.

This is Blaxploitation reanimated — not as pastiche, but as prophecy.

Two more cuts from the forthcoming JN album due in June. First up is the super funky Chic-esque "Prove That You’re Feelin Me" beautifully sung by the late Diane Charlemagne. Lots of tight live playing, real strings and a super catchy chorus. A proven floor filler. 

Flip it over for the Prelude style 80s boogie of "Everything" featuring Lifford on top form.

Opolopo - Feeling everything but mostly Everything!

My Bboy edit for http://soundcloud.com/kept-records/flaximus enjoy!

Composed by F. Martinez
Additional remix & production by David Hanke

"Matasuna Records" kicks off 2021 with another 7inch. This record features two remixes by German DJ and producer "David Hanke" aka "Renegades Of Jazz", for Afro-latin Funk bands "Brownout" and "Jungle Fire". Brownout's remix was first released in 2013 via Paris DJs on a very limited run of 45s and quickly became very sought after. By painstakingly cutting every instrument's individual notes, increasing the tempo and adding in a punchy breakbeat at the end, David turned "Flaximus" into an up-tempo dancefloor hit.

Jungle FIre's song "Comencemos" that appears on the B side is a cover version of Fela Ransome-Kuti's song "Let's Start".David added some more Afrofunk elements to the Jungle Fire version and builds a bridge to the original Fela version with the additional elements. The Jungle Fire remix is previously unreleased and will be available on vinyl for the first time.

"David Hanke" has been linked to "Matasuna Records" since our early days, when he released his "Dem Juju Poets" debut album on Matasuna in 2017. Most recently he delivered a dancefloor-friendly edit of "Mawuli Decker's" "Mololi-Lomko" at the end of 2020, again released on Matasuna. David is constantly producing and surprises regularly with new musical projects, restlessly trying to develop and refine his sound. With his new label, "Bathurst", he created a home for all his electronic music projects. Bathurst follows the notion of not focusing on any formats or genres, but caring more about the electronic music Hanke adores.

Nine-piece band "Brownout" from Austin/Texas, was formed in 2005 by members of the Grammy Award-winning Latin orchestra "Grupo Fantasma" and have since become a musical force of their own. In addition to three Austin Music Awards, the band has performed at countless events and festivals and has regularly toured the U.S. also as highly sought-after backing band for artists like Prince, GZA and many more. Their albums and singles have been released on labels like "Freestyle Records", "Ubiquity" or "Fat Beats".

"Jungle Fire" is an Afrolatin Funk band from Los Angeles known for their authentic and highly explosive sound. They quickly gained attention of the local Los Angeles scene and beyond, which led to their first release on the Funk and Soul label "Colemine". Other releases have been released on "Nacional Records", "Paris DJs" and "Razor N Tape". Their second album "Jambú" debuted at #4 on the Billboard Latin charts in February 2017 which led to numerous features in several movies, commercials and TV shows. They create a unique Afro-Tropical sound by combining West African rhythms with heavy funk elements.
