Hello all,
Time for some new music we think.
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Deep, Down & Discofied<<
Deep Down & Discofied is a new compilation series which showcases exactly what Defected are about. Aptly named as Deep stands for “The Soul”, Down Stands for “The Funk” and well “Discofied” (ahem) is self explanatory. A tasty collection featuring a multitude of hard to find tracks.

##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.

Now available on vinyl (all 12 tracks are present!), and the cd version has an extra disc of remixes. a cracking album indeed.

>> >>Pow Wow: yet More Jazzman 7s<<
Jazzman and their sister label Funk 45 are possibly the worlds best regarded funk soul ‘n’ jazz re-issue labels. Having issued only 50 7”s on Jazzman and over 30 7”s on Funk 45 in the past 8 years, they dominate the market with quality product and don’t flood it with mediocre releases. Here's a chance to get a bunch of those lovely 7s on one handy compact disc.

>> >>The Heritage Orchestra<<
There used to be a night at London's cargo - Heritage. the night exists no more but the spirit does in the form of The Heritage Orchestra. The bands refreshing take on contemporary forms can only be explained by being the only orchestra ever to have been created by a club-night; uprooting and throwing classical idioms into a modern mix of beats, cinematic soundscapes, and original orchestration.....

>> >>Afro Strut - Amp Fiddler<<
The kind of album that saw its popularity increase in the years which followed it, Amp Fiddler's 2004 'Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly' has become something of an underground classic. This, the follow up manages to surpass the original. This is proper future soul/funk, highly original with a ton of influences at work.

>> >>Teemu Mattsson - Teemu Mattsson<<
When you learn from the best, there comes a day when the apprentice becomes the master. This is a stunning jazz album that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up..

>> >>The Funky Chicken Club: Electronic Discotheque 3<<
Cracking compilation from The Funky Chicken Club. The club has been running for over a decade and they certainly know there their stuff when it comes to funky electronic house music. Two seamlessly mixed cds.

>> >>Stars - Malena Perez<<
Debut album from the NY-based Cuban/German songstress. Her lush, soulful vocals have been given a progressive Latin-flavoured soul emphasis, with some sensitive house patterns from the production stores of MAW and Osunlade. We also get more tracks with Spanish/English lyrics, fusing her Cuban heritage with jazzy acoustic undertones for perfect downtempo listening.

##SINGLE OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Scissor Cuts - The Hole In the Wall Gang<<
Funky business indeed - "Apache" meets "Stand By Me" - you'll shed tears of joy when you hear how well it works. 10/10. Flip for a succulent 10 minute mash up of a whole bunch of classic breakbeats in an old school hip hop style, featuring Led Zepplin, Bob James, Mantronix, Run Dmc and a cast of thousands (who probably won't be seeing much in the way of royalties).

##SINGLES##
>> >>Gunshot Remix / Big Bang<<
Lifted from his 1982 debut LP Midnight Rock this was Johnsons biggest hit. Jah Thomas was responsible for the heavyweight production allowing Johnson to fire off his now infamous warning to the streets over the ever increasing gun crime rates in Jamaica in the early 80s.

>> >>Yo Yo Jazz - Nicola Conte Rework - Lee Fields & Sugarman & Co<<
The new single taken from the excellent Big Bang ‘Way In Jazz’ Album gets the big boys out of their bedroom to deliver some serious business reworks. On side A we find the Don of Jazz, Nicola Conte of Schema, delivering a killer jazz dancefloor track..

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.

Real Soul music never dies. That becomes obvious once more when the experienced musicians of the Dutch band The Soul Snatchers manage to grab their audiences by the throat on every gig, bringing a fingerlicking set of timeless, down to earth Funk and Soul songs. Nederfunk!

Jafrosax teams up with Yukimi Nagano and Gagle for a double A-Side limited edition 12”. Taken from the Jafrosax’s debut long player ‘ A New Standard of the Future’.

>> >>The Way That You Love Me - Ron Hall & The Muthafunkaz feat Mark Evans<<
Less than infrequently does an amazing song come through on a house record, count on one hand those that are an instant classic. Melodies and lyrics make for everything on this record, an infectious original loop from Ron Hall given the full on Philly treatment from Dimitri from Paris and the godfather of disco, Tom Moulton himself.

http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/12057.html
>> >>Beira Do Mar Remix - S - Tone Inc<<
In this 12” we have a version of “Beira Do Mar” skilfully remixed by Solo Moderna (formerly known as Combo Moderna) in a very minimal style if compared to the original take. Yet it creates a groove as hypnotic as incessant which grows slowly to reach its final peak.
