Hello all,
It's free loading time! We have a bunch of Brazilika cd's from the kind folks at Far Out recordings to give away. To enter our draw just send an email to scampo@tunes.co.uk. To qualify just let us know who compiled the first Brazilika cd. 6 Winners will be drawn on Monday 4th September at 1pm GMT. One entry per email address.
Unfortunately some of last week's singles audio clips got mangled by dodgy software. These are now fixed, links at end of this message.
Cheers and enjoy this week's selection,
Rob
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>> >>4 Hero Presents Brazilika<<
Marc Mac from 4hero steps up to the Far Out turntables to drop a heavyweight mixed selection of Brazilian classics past, present and future for this, the second volume of ‘Brazilika’.

##ALBUMS##
>> >>Gruble - Phantom Slasher<<
Re-edit disco mania seems like the thing to do, between growing a beard and surfing the net for rare and preferably unheard records, avoiding the pointless process of ever entering a new or old record store to find the sound track to your life. Choice album of dubdiscoreggaeinstrumentals from the Idjut Boys and their posse.

>> >>It's Right To be Civil - Marc Mac<<
Brilliant longplayer from Marc Mac (4Hero) in a laidback jazzy hip hop mode, inspired by the civil rights movement in the US, notably Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Detroit Red & the 1000's of others that made a difference.

>> >>Jazz Travels - Compiled by Kasbah 73<<
“Jazz Travels” is the first compilation by Casbah 73, who instantly made a name for himself with his debut album “Moods and Grooves.” Aside from producing his own music (a second album is in the pipeline for 2007), Casbah 73 posesses a black music vinyl archive that he has amassed by travelling all over the world.

>> >>Tempo Groobeat - Compilation<<
Excellent selection of nu funk jazz tracks on this sequenced cd from Italy's Tempo club. Strange title but you'll forget that when you start grooing away to the tunes, many of which were previously vinyl only singles making their first appearance on cd.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12012.html
>> >>Cappuccino Grand Cafe Lounge - Compilation<<
A compilation that starts with Let´s Get Lost sung by Chet Baker is not another compilation. Balearic music tastemaker Pepe Link has prepared a delightful selection of jazz based music far from the standard chill out thing.

>> >>The New Testament Of Funk Volume 4 - Compilation<<
Timely reissue for this classic collection originally releases in 2001. All quality tracks in the Acid Jazz style and an interesting list of artists, some who have gone on to greater things, some who have disappeared without trace.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12014.html
>> >>School Of Hard Knocks<<
Like so many crews, the Hard Knocks (emcee Hardhead and deejay Stoneface) were doomed by their satanic contract on Wild Pitch Records to drop a solid but virtually unheard LP, in this case School of Hard Knocks back in 1992. An underground classic for the hip hop heads. Very limited high quality pressing.

>> >>Jazzcollectivo<<
A well picked selection of contemporary acoustic jazz with an emphasis on this new Swedish label's homeland. Nice! Now with audio clips

##SINGLE OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Duet - Breaks Co-OP<<
New Zealand/Anglo trio Breaks Co-Op have a unique sound somewhere between Marvin Gaye, Tortoise and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Add a mellow electro background and you have a masterpiece.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12017.html
##SINGLES##
>> >>Cerca De Mi - Wagon Cookin' Remixes<<
Another quality groover from Spain's Love Monk records, this time getting Wagon Cookin' to work on a tasty Louie Vega tune. If you're not into full on vocals the dub does the biz.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12015.html
>> >>In The Stone / Let's Groove - Earth, Wind & Fire<<
A limited high quality repress of the classic Earth, Wind & Fire tune. To these ears though it's the bouncing disco funk of "let's groove" which never fails to lift the spirit and played out, will indeed get everyone grooving away. Genius.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12016.html
>> >>I Feel Love - Leo Mendez Group<<
Soulful hammond driven vibes on the acid jazz tip from the Leo Mendez group. Flip for Yukihio Fukutomi's house version.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12021.html
>> >>Sweetness & Decency - Little People <<
Lovely 7" from Little People, featuring the electronica-breaks-cut 'n' paste title track backed with 'Inutile Et Indispensable', from the 'Mickey Mouse Operation' album.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/11849.html
>> >>Party People - The Sound Stylistics<<
Third in the Mocambo series of mega rare library funk instrumental seven inches. This time the Sound Stylistics step up, with a heavyweight horn section providing the rocket to the dancefloor on the A side, while the flip is a little more relaxed, but still very horny, more soulful funk.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12023.html
>> >>Gonna Get Your Love / Shake It Up<<
It looks like an original but this is a cheeky bootleg indeed. Two classics, one rare groove (Shake It Up) and one deep funker (Gonna Get Your Love). Get a copy while you can.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12022.html
>> >>Graf Da Bus Up / Taskforce<<
Taskforce Lowlife records/Mftc with Djs First Aid, Lex & Loctite Farma G and Chester P have been tearing up clubs across the globe since their early beginnings in the Mud Family/Bury Crew. Top flight UK hip hop.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12019.html
>> >>Ultrafunk Series 1 EP / Ultrafunk <<
Germany's Perfect Toy branch out from their crate digging releases to launch this new series of fat 'n' funky electro cuts.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12018.html
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BACK IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>> >>Hip Hop / Dead Prez<<
Politically charged New Yorkers Stic and M-1's groundbreaking release from 2000 demonstrated the innovative musical approach behind their pointed verbals. A limited re-issue of this gem, and an easy reminder that real music has brains. VERY LIMITED QUANTITY.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/10374.html
>> >>Lenzini presents Shine On<<
This deep, mellow gem brings a horn section, strings and percussion from Madami Kamara and Igor Nikitinsky into the deep bass and soaring electronics.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/10921.html
>> >>Are You Anywhere? - Padded Cell<<
Excellent tune from Bronx Dogs man Richard Sen and Neal Beatnik, aka Padded Cell. Tough-edged nu-disco with a killer bass line, sleazy saxophone and a classic dubbed out acid-funk production.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/11525.html
>> >>Disco Dimensions 2 EP<<
The second EP in this series sees Ray Mang and Foolish Felix teaming up for a bit of funky and twisted disco house. Flip for Motorboy's '80s influenced atmospheric tune and Bugz In The Attic man Seiji's disco boogie blast.
