Yes, here come the Jellies. All over again, To be honest they never really made it the first time, even though they tried. This very small band got together in 1981 and made a 7" single. There are tales of long tape loops running from tape machines to pencils along hallways throughout the recording. There are tales of them pressing up about 1,000 copies on their own little label called Jelly Records. They speak of getting it played on John Peel's Show, and selling about 15 copies to Rough Trade. And then nothing. This was back in 1981. There are no photos of the band. Other than this one. Most of the unsold records were scrapped and are now part of the UK's landfill. The band never recorded again, it was a disaster. If we move on nearly 30 years, there are rumblings about the 7" on line. A bootleg edit of the track appears. Thurston Moors finds an original 7" and plays it ten times in a row in one of his DJ sets. Trunk Records license it from the two writers. And now it's here again, this time as a strange 12", with a radio edit and a couple of mixes to boot. One mix is by Georges Vert AKA The Advisory Circle with his dubby clubby disco hat on, one by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly, and one by Tommy Stupid and Jonny Trunk who played it backwards. There are 500 of these wobbly little 12" records. We think it's great in a hooky, post punk slightly Tom Tom Club sort of way. And it's possibly the first ever recording from the 80s issued by Trunk. Which feels a bit weird, But I like it none the less.

After the soft orchestral tug of album opener “Draw the Stars” Triana finds her range on the title track which is complemented perfectly by the organic boombap and sweeping strings. It’s track such as this, the horn filled “Up In Fire” and “Far Closer” which make the most immediate impression, with the production on the latter approaching a Motown strut when Triana hits the chorus. Amidst a sea of somewhat average singer songwriter albums, Lost Where I Belong is distinguished by the sheer soul and range of Triana’s vocals which are allowed to shine throughout by the understated production.

An acutely infectious new project from Jesse Hackett of Elmore Judd/Gorillaz/Africa Express, bringing sublimely hypnotic Kenyan grooves into line with a London-centric agenda. Both tracks bobble along with a effortless grace and mesmerizing simplicity, with the bouzouki/likembe interplay of 'Doyoi Nyajo Nam' coolly commanding able asses to the dance, while 'Jalako Onyoono Paka' sits heavy on an infectious mid-tempo Afro-beat groove. There's no denying the charms of these cuts, and it promises great things for the album forthcoming on Brownswood. Aces.

'Slow To Speak' are at it again with a second installment of unlikely and obscure a capella DJ mixing tools. Carefully preserved in phonograph format (and preserving the phonograph format), this assortment of quotations, media clips, poems, interviews and monologues are more than ambient fodder. They are secret messages for the dancefloor. A mechanism for dialogue between DJ and dancer. Mix 'em in... "and then they will hate you, and their hatred will be perfect." To paraphrase the ramblings of a madman, "It is not the job of DJ's to give the dancers what the dancers want. If the dancers knew what they needed, then they would not be the dancers. They would be the DJ's."

onny & Renzo, also known as the uncrowned "kings of downtempo" or King Kung Foo's official ambassadors if you prefer, are back. Broken Fingers is another great piece of drum-driven electronic dance music. The dark & gloomy intro with the ARP's resonating acidic bass functions as an alarmbell. It almost seems to introduce the other instruments one by one. Building layer after layer and slowly rising the tension, Broken Fingers summits when all the arrangement parts mysteriously come together with an ear-licking precision. It doesn't need comparisons with other well known songs or genres. It is unique in its kind and with its own personality and character that builds each and every time it is played and listened to. Jonny Nash who is also known by his work with the mighty Discosession and his Sombrero Galaxy-partner Tako Reyenga are two highly gifted musicians who pull you into their cosmos like a super-massive black hole. And last but not least in our philosophy, cutting edge art work courtesy of UK artist Nick Veasey for his ethically challenging but visually pleasing vibrant x-ray photography cover art, which enhances this deluxe sleeved 12" vinyl release.

High quality 7” reissue highlighting another side of James Brown, far from the up-tempo feel good funk of the Godfather. A stunning rendition of the Jazz standard “Summertime” is evoked here by Brown and Martha High within the context of 1970's social fallout---“Winter In America” to use Gil Scott-Heron’s language, a political immobility that cast its shadow over the entirety of the United States. Brown & High take the leisure-jazz of “Summertime” and turn it on its head in an act of realist defiance. On the flip, “Message From The Soul Sisters Pt. 1 & 2” is a more familiar funk workout from yet another Brown produced female vocalist, Vicki Anderson, delivering her sassy soul masterpiece with impecable instrumental backing from the ever prestigious JB’s. Overall, another 2 essential soul cuts from the master himself available once again for aural and contemplative consumption.

“King Heroin” is one of James Brown’s finest moments, at the time an urgently needed reality check on the growing heroin crisis swallowing much of inner city America, and appreciated today as one of the most breathtaking pieces of haunted funk and conscious soul ever released. Reissued here in all its glory and featuring the impossible to find instrumental reprise on the B-Side, “King Heroin” once again hits the streets to combat the uncertainty of post civil rights era urban malaise. Much more than a “message” record, more than a few of which James Brown & company put out with preachy fervor, “King Heroin” holds no bars in its blunt reviews of addiction and its painful fall-out, all from a man who himself struggled with the beast inside for decades. Beyond the sweet irony remains one of the most disturbing and starkly beautiful downtempo soul records ever, a perfect encapsulation of a lost era only dreamt of in weak blaxploitation Technicolor vision today. An essential piece of eternal soul history.

The sixth in the series of collectable vinyl 7 inch singles from Outta Sight. “Candle (In The Window)” and “Whatcha Gonna Do” were both originally recorded in 1971 but, incredibly, never saw a release at the time! We had to wait 20 years for Detroit legend Ron Murphy to work hismagic at the cutting lathe and finally issue this magnificent pairing on his Soul King imprint. Here we pay tribute to Ron by re-issuing his finest work on his own, original, label - Ron’s. The crowning glory of Ron Murphy’s Northern Soul output.

Straight outta Brooklyn NY comes the 3rd LP from teh Budos Band! Another quality outfit from the Daptone band rosta with typically menacing album art, featuring a cobra primed for the attack, which if it's any indication of the music itself, we can expect an all out assault of the senses, with a tendency towards the venomous and psychedelic! Expect minor-key horns and creeping bass lines that will scare, not ease, you onto the dance floor!

XXXO" is the first full single release to be taken from MIA's new album "///Y/". With its Autotuned vocals and catchy chorus, "XXXO" is definitely one of the more 'pop' tracks on the LP, with possible crossover appeal. As well as the original mix (produced by Rusko and Blaqstarr no less ), this 12" features reworks by Riton, SBTRKT and Blaqstarr. Riton hops on the passing UK funky bandwagon with his rocking soca-house beats, then changes tack and drops some big rave era stabby two finger keyboard lines. The prolific SBTRKT hits the future beats button, mixing grime style roughness with booty-shaking rhytm complexity. Lastly Blaqstarr adds a crunching Bmore / hip hop backing track for extra club and radio play.

Funkanomics, the sensational newcomer out of south Germany, made themselves a worldwide name with their very own dance-floor devastating breakbeat style and now Roca Records have decided to release some of their most outstanding tracks on one EP.
For this occasion the three guys mixed new versions of already successfully released tracks to new outstanding funky bangers: Circle Kid feat. NineLivesTheCat, How We Rock feat. BadKat. and Mission feat. BadKat. CMC&Silenta contribute a synth-disco version of their hiphop club track How We Rock to top off this second and cracking release by Roca.
Juwee, FxFarmer and Bobby Kudlicz launched the project Funkanomics in late 2006, since then they have been touring extensively in the club scene. They have taken their beat contoured live experience and mixed it with their own funked up style in their productions. A sound that is designed for the dance floor and made up of beautiful crunchy bass lines, coupled with pumping grooves.

All Your Beats 3 kicks things off with Skizzo Franick whose recent remix for Ursula 1000's 'Star Machine' has just been released on Eighteenth Street Lounge records. His contribution to this compilation is 'Sydney Chainsaw Love', an original early 70's style Italo cinemadelica flavoured track that mixes Juno basslines with Sergio Mendes style horns. The song is a kitchen sink of funky flavors all tinged with Skiz's trademark swagger and tasty Fender Rhodes solos, his weapon of choice.
Next up is a classic never before released Tal M. Klein track! 'Listen!' is at its heart and old-fashioned funk breaks pleaser, equal parts Fifth Dimension, Joe Bataan, and Melvin Van Peebles with a mellow bass groove and disco lasers for the kids, it's a fun track to get the party started.
And the icing on the cake, arguably the funkiest man in Utah, Manned Missiles comes correct with an extended mix of his new track 'Chuckles Flavor' - an epic beatmaker's odyysey to the MPC swing. Filled with a generous helping of funky beats and deep grooves, it's all about the strut from start to finish.

A track that was originally born in Lisbon (Portugal) by Dedy Dread and transported through space landing on Newcastle (UK) soil to be treated with the unmistakable drum hellish sound of SMOV. The final result being this crazy ass shaking bossa funk rockabilly jazz dance bomb!
Over on the flip and hailing from Hamburg Germany, Funktomas drops a some what classic B Boy anthem "Shack Up" over some old skool flavour female chants creating a simple but very effective banger! I bet you cant put one of these in your turntable without droppin into the caterpillar!
