Purple Reign hails from my neighborhood of South Philadelphia.  They recorded 2 other singles for Go-Rilla/Private Stock and one for RCA.  This one was released as Part I and Part II but they were actually just a radio mix and an extended mix both done by Anita Wexler.  I extended the tune to go around twice and fixed a few of the edits I didn't care for in the original mix.  File Under 45-0nly-Disco

Love Shortage (Jimmy DePre Edit) - Purple Reign

The original version of the song that Margaret Reynolds would soon burn the clubs up with in 1979. Her version was particularly big in San Francisco, where it was treated to a remix in 1982 thanks to the boys at Moby Dick records, forever etching it as an anthem in their city's clubs. Ace Spectrum released the blueprint in 1975, recording the music for the track in Philadelphia at Sigma Sound. I put this edit together to play at GO Bang! in SF this last summer. I chopped up the flow of what was released and Paul Goodyear locked it in at a steady 118.

Ace Spectrum - Keep Holding On (Jimmy DePre Edit)

Hands down, this is one of my favorite records of all time. If I could live inside this record for a period of time, I would. This is a 45 only jam that was issued a few times, at varying lengths, and every version is quite hard to find. This edit was loving done from the 45 I hunted for years. It was longest version issued with those fantastic strings spotlighted at the end. Smooth disco at its finest!! A special thanks to my dear friend Paul Goodyear for the EQ and making this a steady 120 BPM for you to easily mix it. Enjoy!!

One of the many recordings of Chaka Khan with Chicago band Rufus, "Live In Me" is part of their 1979 album "Masterjam", produced by Quincy Jones. 

Warm and groovy, this song is also a bit "cheesy" to me by moments, so here is a nudisco rework, where I kept the grooviest parts while adding some punchier beats & bassline.

Rufus & Chaka Khan - Live In Me (V4YS Rework)

A Soul, Funk & R&B singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and arranger, Leroy Hutson is probably slighltly less well known than the Marvin, Donny or Curtis of this world. He's nonetheless a cornerstone of this legendary 70's music scene.

Here's my refreshed DJ-friendly take of one of my favorite track by him, "Don't It Make You Feel Good", released in 1976 as part of the "Hutson II" album.

A classic rare groove cut from Jamaican singer Sonya Spence, "Let Love Flow On" was released in 1981 as part of her LP "Sonya Spence Sings Love".
Here is my nudisco-kind-of revisit of it.

A1. Night Cuisine
A2. Heat

B2. Glow

This four tracker is filled with dusty feel good sample flips in a true Swales manner, ready to set summer nights in motion. “This side” is best described as a love story where lushness meets stomp, while “that side” effortlessly roles the top back down and takes on a more laid back approach to that deep disco sound.

"Mystery Trip Vol.II" is all about going back to my roots: pulling out obscure vinyl from my global collection, then lovingly chopping, remixing and editing them into new tracks with a contemporary edge and classic Captain Planet touch. All 9 remixes have been blended together, along with audio samples and field recordings, into a 45min mix, which has been printed to cassette tapes like my earliest mixes from the late 90's. Similar to Mystery Trip Vol.I, which was listed in Sasha Frere-Jones "Best Music Of 2012", Vol.II leads you on a psychedelic journey to destinations around the world, where you are hopefully drawn out of your sonic comfort zone via a soundtrack that bridges styles of music from Asia and Africa to South America, The Caribbean and beyond.

Available now as separate digital tracks, cassette tape & limited 12" from @BastardJazz Records

"The Happy Ending Whisper Song ft. Edy Blu"
by Omegaman
FKX119 - Fort Knox Recordings
Out Now Worldwide:  https://fanlink.to/Omegaman

Omegaman and Edy Blu were introduced online by mutual friend and contact Jon Horvath of Fort Knox Five.   Edy Blu is a Washington, DC based vocalist who never met Omegaman in person until the Spring of 2018.  She found herself on walkabout in Australia and met Omegaman at his Studio 57 outside of Sydney.  The two started talking and naturally the conversation turned to their mutual friend JonH and they really felt the vibe in the room and started working on a new original tune together, inspired by the Love & Light of their departed dear friend.   This song is dedicated to the memory and inspiration of Jon and Pamela Horvath.

Premiere - Joe Bataan - The Bottle (Chevals Edit)

First ever official reissue of Zamba Zamba by Peruvian band Sangre Joven! Originally released in 1975 by MAG (Lima | Peru) the 7inch vinyl is hardly available and a rare latin gem. Any information about Sangre Joven is just as rare as the vinyl: there is in fact nothing about the band to be found on the internet.

Nevertheless, with a little help by a peruvian friend we got some details: "Zamba Zamba" is a peruvian version of the track "Samba Samba" by Colombian brothers Elkin & Nelson, who moved to Spain in the 70s. The band Sangre Joven consists of musicians from the famous Peruvian group Nil's Jazz Ensemble of jazz musician, composer and arranger Nilo Espinosa. When their musical direction changed, they switched their name to Sangre Joven and released a funky & discoid album and one single on the Peruvian label MAG in 1975. Both original pressings are very difficult to find nowadays, so we're more than happy to release this on Matasuna Records! The track was restored from the reel to reel master tapes and also got a new mastering by Carvery (London).

In addition to the original Zamba Zamba version, the DJ & producer Voodoocuts contributed a superb edit to this 7inch and both tracks spread a sunny Afro-Latin vibe that catches you immediately. While the original is perfect for a relaxed set on the beach, the Voodoocuts' Edit is a real killer tune for the dancefloor. The funky acoustic guitar perfectly harmonized with the electric piano and the super sweet vocals on the percussive breaks will really heat you up! As always: a seven inch not to be missed!
