While Secret Stash has been in the business for several years releasing a number of gems ranging from the soul of America to reggae takes on Miles Davis and acoustic Peruvian folk music, they are now focusing some effort on new music as well. Longtime Secret Stash fans rest easy, though. They are still going to continue to mine the vaults the world over to find long-forgotten but essential music.

One of their first new music releases is coming out this September courtesy of Black Market Brass. The band and label both hail from Minneapolis. Secret Stash, which has a very DIY approach to their label, often hosts record-release assembly parties where the local community is invited to come to their offices and assemble the records and album sleeves in return for pizza and beer. It was through several of these that Eric Foss, VP of Marketing and Sales for Secret Stash, met Mitch Sigurdson, one of the founding members of the band.

Sigurdson assembled some friends and local talent to play a variety of styles, often Ghanian highlife and funk. Per Foss, “I think it took a little while for them to realize that they play Afrobeat as well or better than most of the bands out there doing it today. I watched as they transitioned from playing spot-on covers of Fela and Tony Allen to writing their own material.”

This past April, the band headed to the studio to record some original material. Coincidentally, the band picked up a new baritone sax player, Cole Pulice, who was already working with Sonny Knight & the Lakers and Dérobé Dance Band, bands whose original material also will be seeing releases from the label. In a single afternoon, they cut the two tracks heard on the upcoming 45.

“Snake Oil Man” is heavy Nigerian madness. You can bet that it’s no beginners luck. Check out the flip side, “Big Muffler," on Secret Stash’s SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/secretstashrecords/black-market-brass-big-muffler). If this is their first swing at the genre, you can expect some exciting material in the future from Black Market Brass who has enough original material already for a full LP.

We reached out to Pierre Chrétien from Souljazz Orchestra, who knows his way around an Afrobeat tune, to hear his thoughts on the band’s sound. Says Chrétien, “It sounds amazing. Definitely no lack of sweat and stink here!” No disagreements here.

Reviews:
"Now then, if you’re going to do a funk edit, best to go large. Better still, go large with a mate who is himself going large with another funk edit. And if you’re going large with a funk edit it’s probably best to pick a track where the original is either an obscure gem or a lesser known classic so that you’re audience aren’t all “meh, another one of that one” when they hear it. Better still, how about you do an edit of an obscure gem and get your mate to edit a lesser known classic? As luck would have it, that’s precisely what Voodoocuts and Jayl Funk have done for Honkey Phonk 7. The former nabs Zebra’s uptempo obscurity Simple Song (not, apparently, anything to do with the Sly & The Family Stone song of the same name) and applies Jurassic 5′s In The House ‘pella to create funky, disco-rap crack. The latter helps himself to Earth, Wind & Fire’s version of Dirty and delivers a slightly more hypnotic affair but no less crowd-pleasing." *****

"There's funk and then there's Phonk. This here EP is most certainly the latter, with Honkey Phonk deliver two raucous slices of delirious party-fuelled phonk. "Party People" pairs good time brass, bass and beats with some old skool hip hop MCing. "Dirty" is a low-slung joint with serious Stevie Wonder vibes."

Katakana edits vol.15 - VOODOOCUTS

The ever-reliable Katakana Edits crew returns, this time with a quartet of goodtime funk reworks from Berlin-based edit fiend Voodoocuts. James Brown gets a going over on "Voodoosexmachine", a flute-laden re-cut of the Godfather of Funk's best-known tune. Another familiar favourite - check the snaking sax line, as sampled by The 45 King on B-Boy classic "The 900 Number" - is given a dancefloor touch-up on "Blow Ya Woopie", while "Get Up Brother" turns a cover version of Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" into a deep, bassy, fluid house jam. Finally, there's more bumpin' rare funk business on the ludicrously bottom-heavy "Stay Excited".

Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra, with composer at the piano, Chesterfield Hour, 24 June 1938. Orchestration by Bernie Mayer.

Afternoon of a Black Faun (Dana Suesse) Paul Whiteman b'cast

From International Soundclash, compiled by Sofrito (Hugo Mendez & Frankie Francis), out July 24th.

From the album's liner notes:

Legendary Calypsonian Lord Shorty (aka Ras Shorty I) was instrumental in the development of soca music in Trinidad in the late ‘70s. Here he lays down the anatomy of a soca track, introducing the musicians and singers in the band one by one in the style of King Curtis’ classic track ‘Memphis Soul Stew’. Drums, percussion, bass and horns build to a joyous and unrelenting soca groove.

The second volume of Danny Krivit's "Edits By Mr. K" series sees the master editor, DJ, and record collector dipping into his extensive crates to put his magic touch on personal favorites and floor fillers from the golden age of disco and soul.  On "(Do The) Spanish Hustle," Fatback Band's breakout hit from 1976, Krivit leads with the break, slowly building momentum until catharsis comes nearly four minutes into the track.  It's a driving, uptempo track which highlights the beginning of funk's evolution into disco, and a terrific slice of dance floor gold.  Edits By Mr. K Volume 2: Music Of The Earth comes out September 14th on Strut.

From the liner notes for International Soundclash:

The Midnight Groovers, led by local legend Chubby, are one of the most influential and longest running bands to come out of the small but musically fertile island of Dominica. This late ‘70s track is a masterclass in cadence-lypso, mixing an angular cadence rhythm and rolling bassline with ominous synths and a minor key vocal.

‘Cartão Postal’ (‘Postcard’), a Portuguese-language track from The Souljazz Orchestra's new album Solidarity, is a mix of semba and samba styles. The lyrics poke gentle fun at touristy beach resorts, while subtly alluding to the contrast with the relative poverty that often surrounds these areas.
