Release number three from the Originals label is a tribute to the late great James Yancey aka Jay Dee aka J Dilla.

This is a reissue of the extremely sought-after Peer International Library LP from 1972 - a record that has been the holy grail of library music collectors for years.

The LP also features other great library talents such as Anthony Mawer, Nino Nardini and Roger Roger. Expect to hear lush strings, electric harpsicord, balalaika (a russian, three-stringed instrument), sitar guitar and bongos, all coming together and creating a unique psych/funk/baroque exploration.

Seahawks : Ocean Trippin'

CD =
£11.99
In Stock
Oh man…..this has been one epic cosmic mindfuck of a voyage…..Seahawks music has taken us further out and deeper than we’ve been for a long time and yet it’s been fun….it’s been a blast. ‘Ocean Trippin’ gathers together all the vinyl releases this year - all long sold out - adds a couple of unreleased tracks and drops them all into a dosed aquatic blend….like James Cameron’s ‘Abyss’ Seahawks music confirms that outer space and deep ocean are one and the same place. As with all great albums ‘Ocean Trippin’ acts as a refuge, a place to hang, a fantasy voyage and a state of mind. As winter starts to descend it’s time to take a trip somewhere tropical…

£6.99

Eagerly awaited Vol 6 on Richard Sen’s Mixed blood cuts series see’s the baton handed over to Melbourne based “pom” Golden Fleece. The first cut on this 2 tracker “Dancin in the nude” see’s T-rex’s Marc Bolan fronting a futuristic glam band jam. Plenty of (cow) bell’s, whistles, wonky synths, even the occasional kitchen sink thrown in for good measure! This jam has been tearing up dancefloors on both sides of the planet. On the flip “Ciao Bella” take’s us on an epic dark journey with a full 11 minute long work out of Bauhaus’s “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” getting a modern fix up with a night stopover in Detroit for good measure. Golden Fleece drops the BPM of the original and respectfully sprinkles over some of his own dub glitter purely for the benefit of the dancefloor! Andrew Weatherall has been championing this cut.

The first three COTTAM releases came thick & fast, and left quite an impression! Volume 4 has finally arrived with two new club tracks that are a progression from the first three EPs. The A side started life as another in the ‘afro-edit' series of tracks that helped make his name, but the removal of the main vocal has seen the track grow into a techier beast that mixes an afro guitar with a late night dancefloor groove in the vein of Carl Craig's finest remixes. A rough drum attack and a gradually building siren effect build into a crescendo and by the time the vocal drops you're locked deep in the groove and by the second breakdown you know only one man can be responsible.

The Ricky-Tick Big Band debut album is an eight-step crash course in dynamics for the contemporary big band: Poyhonen's compositions draw from the vast sonic palette of his large ensemble yet he never suffocates the aural picture on unnecessary avalanches of sound. The band does still launch on impressive feats of strength when needed, but also achieves a remarkable degree of delicacy in return. Uptempo highlights include the no-nonsense swagger of opener 'Swingtime in X-Berg', the hard swing of 'Easily Flammable', and the first-grade big band doner kebab of 'Skalitzer Special'. Compositions such as 'Komeda' and 'Babel' find Poyhonen and his entourage hit the spot in more serene moods.

Supply For Demand is the latest release from producer/DJ/MC Damu The Fudgemunk. The title is a nod to his growing and loyal fan base, whom this album caters to. Following the successful release of Damu’s critically acclaimed instrumental LP, How It Should Sound (April 2010), Damu & Redefinition Records felt it was only right to quickly return with new music, designed to satisfy his current audience while converting new listeners with some unexpected content. Damu’s full capability is on display here; from his intricate scratching sections, to his signature sonic arrangements. While Damu is commonly known as a quiet & reserved character, the album’s highlight is surely “DC Joint,” which finds Damu stepping out of his usual comfort zone to act as virtual tour guide; effortlessly rapping in detail about the realities, highlights & lowlights experienced within his hometown of Washington DC. The beat is not jazzy, the rhymes are not typical Damu fodder, but somehow it all just works out perfectly.
