Tunes.co.uk update - Get it while you can.. |
Hello all,
Enjoy the update!
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Seven And Storm - Parov Stelar<<
This is the second album from the highly talented Parov Stelar. Keeping up the Austrian tradition of making groundbreaking mood music, Parov picks it up where the likes of Kruder and Dorfmesiter left off. The result is a highly original and listenable merging of a multitude of musical influences that range from swing to folk. Sheer class.

##ALBUMS##
>> >>The Soul, The Sweat, The Energy - Mixed by Mister V<<
The global scope and style of Shack Music brings together house music in all its forms, from the unmistakable swing of New Yorks Garage to the Funk fuelled House cuts in London, from the influence of San Fransiscos deeper musical elements to the Sonic sound of mainland Europe and beyond.

The world’s most original and refreshing brazilian compilation is back and celebrating its 4th anniversary. The compilation showcases a multitude of talented artists and producers from Brazil, and is neatly divided into two discs, urban and leisure.

>> >>Jazz Lounge X - Various<<
A rather laid back collection of jazz for lounge lizards. You'll recognise most of the names here but some of the tracks are hard tofind elsewhere.

>> >>Uptown Dread - One hour Special - Various<<
Excellent selection of nu funk jazz tracks on this sequenced cd from Italy's Tempo club. Strange title but A great debut from new label, Uptown Dread. Good to see someone dedicated to digging up vintage rock steady and early roots reggae diamonds. As well as the vocal tunes there's a nice smattering of dub done in a 4 track style. Beautiful music you need to hear.

>> >>Dunas Playa - Various<<
Laidback beach vibes in an Italian style.. Named after a popular sunset chill bar on Formentera's Mitjorn beach. This set is well compiled with a good flowing selection from start to finish.

##SINGLE OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Re Grooves Volume 1 - Various<<
Play at your own peril! Just a few of these available, and bear in mind they are for "promotional use only". In other words a blinding set of funk mash ups in a class of their own.

>> >>Shot Down - Lee Fields & Sugarman & Co<<
Recently dug up from the Tunes vaults, just a few copies of this gem available. Mr Fields backed by the Sugarmen Three and it's tight as a duck's ring. Flip for some funky Hammond action.

>> >>The Prophet / Swamp Strut<<
Yet another killer release from Mocambo. Two fat slices of heavy funk. "The Prophet" is pure cop show Wah Wah clavinet business whilst "Swamp Strut" takes it into jazzier territory with it's jb style horny horns.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12038.html
>> >>The Getaway / Back On The Streets <<
More new school old school funky business from Mocambo. The more I hear this label the more I'm convinced the recoeds are made by a small group of talented session musos.. brilliant stuff wah-ever it comes from.

2 rare West Indian Funk gems with a Meters style funk groove, on the Jamaican side is 'Moon Invader' by Tommy Mc Cook featuring the Skatalites, and on the flip, (the Barbados side) Syd Jones & The Troubedours version of the Meters "Cardova"

>> >>Perfect Inbalance / The Process - Recluse Crew<<
Hip-hop stardate: 2006. It’s a hot sweaty Summer, and there is still too much of the same old, same old floating into club speakers and ipod headphones.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12035.html
>> >>Spygame EP - Parov Stelar<<
The Spygame EP is the first single from Parov Stelar's new album "Seven and Storm". Sure fire swingers for the dancefloor.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12034.html

More breaks and beats, more jazz and groovieness as Parov Stelar once again returns to the dancefloor with this excellent (limited import) three track groover.
