WAXIST's RELEASES

Kalita are delighted to announce the first ever official reissue of Billy Evans’ sought-after 1985 12” disco single 'Prisoner Of My Weakness'! Over thirty-five years since initial release, and long acclaimed by collectors, DJs and dance music fans, the time is ripe to share Billy’s music once more. 

Originally privately released in a small run on Billy’s own label Tee Records, Kalita’s 12” reissue single features both the vocal and incredible dub mix versions of ‘Prisoner Of My Weakness’, plus a brand-new phenomenal remix courtesy of Waxist, produced using the original multitrack analogue master tapes.

With original copies selling for triple figures on the rare occasion that they come up for sale, Kalita now deliver a loud and remastered 12” single for all.

Between the end of the 70's and the early 80's, a new sound appeared in London and its surroundings, a unique mix of Funk, Jazz-Funk and Disco labelled as Britfunk. Characterized by its raw energy that can put the needle In The Red, this up-tempo sound was a match for the UK's dancers and Jazz-Funk clubs.

This first release by French label Chuwanaga features some of the most exciting, rare and powerful tracks from that era compiled by the Parisian DJ and activist Saint-James, with bands such as Equa, Potion, Inch by Inch, Congress, Index and Spookey. It features also an insert with an in-depth focus on this musical era.

These young British musicians were equally inspired by the American Jazz-Funk productions and by Dub music and Reggae pushed by the Afro-Caribbean community who were at the heart of Britfunk’s development. They gave Funk a unique British flavor. However, more than just a music genre or an enclosed expression of black Britishness, it was part of a genuine musical and social movement with its own dedicated labels, fashion sense and most importantly its own set of values that fueled the whole scene. Britfunk built itself within a multicultural evolution: black people, white people, straight and queer, all dancing in the same room to the same loud sound.

In The Red - A compilation of the finest Britfunk by Saint-James - SNIPPETS (CHUWANAGA001)

Really happy to share a quick low resolution preview of this new edit I've been working on over the last few months. 

It's a real pleasure & honor to have been asked to propose my own edit of this killer private disco song from the original stems. Originally released on the Various Artists Hometown Album II, this has always been a huge favorite of mine over the last years. 

This will be out soon (more news asap!) on Rain & Shine Records.

LOTR019 Romie Singh - Cry Freedom FULL LENGTH

REF: CHUWANAGA006
ARTIST: World Series
TITLE: Try it Out / Head Over Heels
FORMAT: Vinyl 7"
Release Date: July 1st 2019

Tracklist: 

A - Try It Out
B - Head Over Heels

Description: 

Parisian label Chuwanaga curated by Clémentine & Saint-James is really proud to announce his next release: the reissue of an almost forgotten 7" by Britfunk band World Series, bringing together jazz-funk, AOR and a really funky vibe. A perfect fit for summertime.

Like a good recipe, this little beauty actually got all great ingredients: great Rhodes parts, catchy vocals, solid basslines and lovely Moog-esque synthesizer melodies. "Try It Out" brings together a classy AOR-Funk/Soul vibe with a solide funky groove. On the other side, "Head Over Heels" looks more towards proper british Jazz-Funk territories with its uptempo beat and slapped bass.

Back in the days, World Series was a local live band around North London. They used to tour a lot around early 1980’s in and around London in places like the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town, the Production Village in Cricklewood, The Cricketers at the Oval and Dingwalls in Camden. On the same circuit were bands like Cayenne, Gonzalez, Morrissey Mullen and the Breakfast Band to name a few. In 1983, they recorded a session at Woodcray Manor Studios in Berkshirand release  "Try It Out / Head Over Heels" as a 7" single, financing themselves the pressing. They were actually delighted when one reviewer said they were a bit like Level 42 "but with decent vocals". 

Thanks to the original crew, Mike Frankel (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Keith Mawson (Bass), Richard Newell (Drums & Percussion) and Andy Park (Keyboards), Chuwanaga is proud to present you this single with a great artwork from William James Thurman, including also an insert with lyrics and pictures from the band. One not to miss!

SOL DISCOS, sub-label of Favorite Recordings, is extremely happy to introduce to you the second volume of their Message In Our Music compilation album, selected by WAXIST. This album is the result of more than two years of work in researching the original recordings, the artists involved & licensing the different songs.

A1. Sharnell Morton - You Are My Guiding Star
A2. Janice Nikki Harisson - Magic Of Love
A3. Direct Connec Shun - He's No Good
A4. The James Family - We've Got It Made
B1. Network & Co - Spirit Of The Boogie
B2. Marlon Hunter - Did You Forget My Number
B3. Spice Of Ice - Star Struck
B4. Executive Suite - When It Comes To Loving Me

Focusing once again on the Modern Soul genre, the album brings back to light eight extremely rare songs from the mid-70's to the mid-80's, all officially licensed.

From the heavy synth Gospel Boogie of Sharnell Morton's "You Are My Shining Star" to the magnificent Network & Co private Disco "Spirit Of The Boogie", most of these songs are highly challenging to find on their original format, not to mention at a decent price. Direct Connect Shun "He's No Good" records have been destroyed in a flood, and the few copies which have sold on the Internet reach the 3 figures price tags for example. Also, the album is proud to introduce to a wider audience some lesser-known but exceptional recordings such as Janice "Nikki" Harrison's "Magic Of Love" which is taken from a Broadway musical produced & composed by Ted Wortham - who also composed for Philadelphia International Recordings artists such as Teddy Pendergrass, Anthony White or Jean Carn.

Message In Our Music Volume 2 has been fully remastered, and features interview-based liner notes, along with never seen before pictures of the artists selected.
