Doctor Stereo - Zangano (Resense 7" vinyl)

Italian native Fab Samperi may be new to Freshly Squeezed but has previously worked with or remixed the likes of Skeewiff, Smoove & Turrell and Basement Freaks and here easily justifies his place on the label with a killer cut.

Following hot on the heels of the iTunes-charting ‘Blue Cover’ EP Vol.2 comes the 10th single in this highly acclaimed series… we are really pleased and excited to maintain the tradition of these EPs by offering yet another guaranteed floor-filler.

The A side - The Big Swing - comes in two versions; a radio-friendly edit and a longer club version, both featuring original vocals from Louis Armstrong’s wife and manager Lil (pictured on the sleeve), while the AA side - The Gangster Blues - tantalisingly bridges the gulf between hip-hop and electro swing with guest vocals from Geo Johnson and Chantal.

This swinging dance-floor single is pumped up with 21st century production giving it's vintage origins an energetic new lease of life. Play loud. Enjoy.

The Meters - Handclapping Song (SouLProvideR Rerub)

Legendary James Brown's protégée Martha High teams up with Osaka Monaural to pay homage to “JB’s Funky Divas” in her new album “Tribute to My Soul Sisters”.
On Tour:
25 Nov - BIKO Milano, IT | 26 Nov - New Morning (Officiel), Paris, FRA | 28 Nov - Mojo Club, Hamburg, DE | 29 Nov - Schlachthof Wiesbaden, DE | 30 Nov - Under the Bridge, London, UK | 01 Dec - Espace Julien, Marseille, FRA | 02 Dec - Le JAM Montpellier, FRA

Funky Diva Martha High has been an integral part of James Brown’s life and career for more than 30 years: she was his backing vocalist, hair stylist, payroll master and his always loyal and reliable confidant. After a lifetime spent shoulder to shoulder with the Godfather of Soul, she flew to Tokyo and teamed up with Japanese funk ambassadors Osaka Monaurail to pay homage to the great Soul Sisters of the JB’s Revue. “Tribute to My Soul Sisters” drops next November the 17th on Record Kicks.

The idea for this special project was hatched back in 2014, when she was visiting the producer Dj Pari, head honcho of the Soulpower organization and tight collaborator of soul legends like The Impressions, Lyn Collins and Marva Whitney. While reminiscing about tours with her fellow James Brown veterans, Martha felt that a tribute to the great Soul Sisters of the JB Revue, better known as “James Brown’s Original Funky Divas”, was very much needed. Without further ado, following DJ Pari’s advice, she partnered up with one of the hottest name of the new funk renaissance: Japan’s Osaka Monaurail. This unique collaboration gives new life to 13 soulful pearls, masterfully interpreted as only an Original Funky Diva can do. To name a few: “Think (About It)”, made famous by the female preacher Lyn Collins, “Mama’s Got a Bag of Her Own”, Anna King’s answer to JB “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” and the soul classic “Answer to Mother Popcorn” by Vicki Anderson.

"I looked up to these ladies of soul" says Martha, "Given the opportunity and the pleasure to perform their songs, is my way of saying: thank you, you're not forgotten. To record the music of the Funky Divas would mean a lot to Mr Brown. He always wanted the world to know he had powerful women on stage that could hold his crowd while he was off the stage; they were just as powerful and funky as he was."

Born in Victoria, Virginia and discovered by Rock & Roll pioneer Bo Diddley, Martha took off her career with the soulful, legendary doo-wop group "The Four Jewels”, with whom she scored the national hit 'Opportunity" in 1964. Soon, The Jewels caught the attention of James Brown and joined the “James Brown Revue” in 1966. The Godfather of Soul recorded and released several songs featuring The Jewels until the group disbanded. Nevertheless, Martha stayed with James Brown and continued to work with him as his personal vocalist for 32 years. She was with him at the Boston Garden during the iconic 1968 gig after Martin Luther King’s assassination, she was by his side when he performed at renowned ‘Rumble in The Jungle’ event in Zaire and was on stage with him and "The Legends of Rock & Roll". Mr Brown produced several of Martha’s singles on his own label “People” such as “Georgy Girl", "Try Me" and “Summertime”; meanwhile Martha launched her solo career in 1979 with the self-titled debut LP for “Salsoul Records”. Since then she released five albums under her name and, being one of the “hardest working woman in show business”, she became one of the leading singers of saxophonist Maceo Parker’s legendary funky music machine, working with him for 16 years.
Martha has been carrying the torch of soul music for her whole life, like a true Soul Sister. Now, with this new effort, she is keeping the music of the Funky Divas going, and we are sure that the Godfather of Soul and her faithful audience would appreciate it.

Vanessa Contenay-Quinones:- Vanessa is French, Paris born and bred and grew up loving the sounds of the 60’s found sneaking through her Mom and Pops vinyl LP's and 45's…Serge Gainsbourg, Francois Hardy, Polnareff and Jaques Dutronc all figured on her personal stereo as opposed to the current hit acts of the day. Quitting school at 16 to start a life in music Vanessa moved to London, signed a record deal with uber cool Heavenly Records, released a wild Drum & Bass album, recorded with Lou Reed, formed a very cool band called Vanessa & The O’s releasing the fabulous dreamy pop album 'La Ballade d’O'. 
Just after The O's debut, never one to hang around - Vanessa got hooked up with beats and breaks maestro's Alex Rizzo and Elliot Ireland aka SKEEWIFF and together they created the sizzling and delicious 60's french pop sound of 'Vanessa presents Allez Pop!'. That album was way too much fun not to do another and yes indeed the summer of 2014 will see the unveiling of the fabulous part II in the series that is 'MADE IN FRANCE' so come on - 12 new sizzling slices of to die for 60's French pop, chanson, beats and yehyeh..whats not to like mes amis! Allez Allez les Copains!
