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!!

Early support from Hot Toddy, Soul Clap, Roberto Rodriguez, Tall Black Guy, Rahaan, OOFT!, Get Down Edits, Roy Dank (Wurst Music Co.), Free Magic (Discovery), Jeff Craven (Large), Satin Jackets...

Happy New Year!, and thank you for your support. new EP out soon
Much love Sven

Hot Sun (un released version)

 "No Further" is the first ever release from Ghost, collaboration with MoFunk singer Moniquea and vocal artist Joanna Rose. 
Lush Reverb, DX7, smooth bass and 808 are the main ingredients of this exquisite UK street soul inspired jam. 
Reminiscent of bands such as Loose Ends, 52nd Street or S.O.S Band, this instrumental/dub version with its undeniable european flavor will take you back to the mid 80's romance and elegance.

No Further feat. Moniquea & Joanna Rose

Lyrics:
You come around
You make me sick
With that cool lovey dovey shit
You never care
How far you go
You just can't get enough of it
I bite my tongue
I bide my time
You lick your lips
You drink your wine
I keep on waiting
Waiting in line
Hoping for some kind of sign

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Call me up
Real late at night
When the sex isn't dynamite
Let's skip dessert
That mini skirt
Yeah you know it's the one I like
I wish you well
You wish me worse
I write you speeches
That sound rehearsed
I keep on reaching
But in reverse
Hoping I can break this curse

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind and I say
Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind

Love Like That (Tux ReFux)

Official audio of Tuxedo’s “2nd Time Around" from their upcoming album, Tuxedo II (3/24/17 - Stones Throw Records 2017).

Pre-order "Tuxedo II" now: https://StonesThrow.lnk.to/Tuxedo

Lyrics:
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out

I felt a super sensation
From the second I laid eyes on you
Never gave into temptation
‘Cause I didn't want to lose my cool
Then the sparks they flew
Nothing we could do
But the aftershock was much too strong
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new

I think it's gonna be better
The second time around
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out

I had my standard rotation
I was satisfied to get back to
Forget about our relation
Keep it pushin’ down the avenue
Then a late night call mixed with alcohol
Reconnected right where we left off
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new

Welcome to the official SoundCloud. Tuxedo is Grammy nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Grammy nominated producer Jake One (Taurus). They mysteriously showed up on Internet doorsteps nearly four years ago. In between Mayer's solo albums, and Jake's productions for Drake, The Weeknd, J. Cole, etc., Tuxedo released their debut album and quickly became a world of its own. The Tux is back with their unique brand of elegant funk and a new EP available now through Stones Throw Records.

B. Bravo - Summer Love (Ride The Wave)

Second single from the Pendleton's hotly anticipated upcoming "Funk Forever" EP, dropping March 30th on Bastard Jazz.

The Pendletons are a long-standing boogie-funk and modern soul project of E da Boss (of Myron and E on Stone's Throw) and Trailer Limon. The group emerged with their very first release in 2010, a 7" inch of "Coming Down/Waiting On You" on the Slept On record label, which set the tone for the group to emerge... it instantly became a cult classic receiving constant play at nights like Sweater Funk and Funkmosphere, and fetching for serious sums among collectors. Most recently, in 2016, they released the EP “Gotta Get Out”. The title track caught the ear of renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, who liked it enough to release it on his Brownswood Bubbler compilation.

In 2018 the group is hitting the ground running with a brand new EP out this spring, and a full-length album to follow later later in the year on the renowned Bastard Jazz label. Now armed with a horn section, a vast array of accomplished jazz and funk contributors, and a knack for quality song-writing, the Pendleton’s sound has shaped into something fresh and unique, setting it apart from the legions of imitators.

Lyrics:
Come and take a ride in my world
I’ll give you more than diamonds and pearls
I got a little extra texture
For you girl
Ooh I see you shining so bright
And it’s the perfect timing tonight
I got a little extra texture
That’s right

Too long
I’ve been waiting for a woman like you
To walk in the door
And leave my jaw on the floor
I know you’re sick of promises galore
Words that I’m certain you’ve heard all before
But baby I’ve got something more

Come and take a ride in my world
I’ll give you more than diamonds and pearls
I got a little extra texture
For you girl
Ooh I see you shining so bright
And it’s the perfect timing tonight
I got a little extra texture
That’s right

There’s something about this one that’s got me kind of sprung
I really like the way we groove
It’s always so much fun
She never tries to level me down
And she never wears a frown
I think this one’s a keeper y’all
And I hope our love never falls down

Lyrics:
If you want it
Then I got it
If you need it
Baby I’ll be it
You just tell me
When to go
You can get it
Baby let me know
Ohh

I’m on my radio
Sending my signal to ya baby
I must confess
Body out of control
I wanna crash into you mayday
This is an SOS

If you want it
Then I got it
If you need it
Baby I’ll be it
You just tell me
When to go
You can get it
Baby let me know
Ohh

We’ll shoot up to the stars
I got a rocket in my pocket
On cruise control
Can you pick up what I’m putting down
Don’t drop it
Hold on and don’t let go

If you want it
Then I got it
If you need it
Baby I’ll be it
You just tell me
When to go
You can get it
Baby let me know
Ohh

If you want it
Baby you know I got it
If you need it
Baby you know I’ll be it

Lyrics:
It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

My temperature is rising through the roof
Nothing can help me through
I tried my best to find a substitute
Nobody else will do
Ooh

This pull’s gravitational
Every time I cross that line
There’s no getting over you
And it’s messing up my mind

It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

Your magic spell has taken hold of me
I’m hooked to from head to toe
I tried to drown it out with Hennessy
I still can’t let you go
Woah

This pull’s gravitational
Every time I cross that line
There’s no getting over you
And it’s messing up my mind

It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

I can’t control it
I can’t control myself
I can’t control it
I can’t control myself

Lyrics:
Dressed up in your best stuff lookin’ fly
Keep on steppin’ down that soul train line
You’ve been clockin’ watchin’ patiently
Turning up your personality

And now you made it through
The spotlight is on you

So do your own thang baby
No one else can shade your shine
Just do your own thang baby
And keep it moving down the line
Because we only get one time

Candy-colored lights jump off the walls
Funky strobe lights, dancing disco balls
Every step you take so fly and cool
You've got moves which one is just to choose 

And now you made it through
The spotlight is on you

So do your own thang baby
No one else can shade your shine
Just do your own thang baby
And keep it moving down the line
Because we only get one time

Do your own thang
Sunshine or rain
Do your own thang
It’s alright just do your thang
