Review:
The recent album Hill Of Feathers by former dance vocalist Hannah Williams and her retro-soul outfit The Tastemakers is the LP that just keeps on giving. "Tell Me Something (Liberties)" is the latest single to be culled from said album and is one of the record's best showcases for her remarkable raw and dexterous voice - all set to an authentic 60s slow groove. Non-album track "Je M'appelle Le Saxophone" goes for some cod-French lounge action and largely succeeds.

Review:
Hailing from Togo, West Africa, Itadi Bonney is an internationally respected musician. Here Hot Casa have tracked down and reissued one of his most desirable albums, "Itadi", originally released back in the 70s and thought long lost ever since. Recorded live with four musicians in a in a Ghanaian radio station, it features eight rousing political Afro-soul gems intended as a call for peace and unity in Africa, a message still very much needed today.

Review:
Barely Breaking Even know that if you're going to release a series of remixed classic underground New York house, you better get the right remixer. Veteran Bronx DJ John Morales is one half M&M productions, who were there at the time and remixing all the greats and the very goods too! Here's 21 unreleased cuts from their vaults, highlights including the deep and percussive "Always There", the synths-meets-funk-meets guitars of "Do What You Want To", the raunchy growler "If You Know Like I Know" and their ragtime-indebted version of stone cold classic "Is It All Over My Face".

Review:
Last time we checked, you could get arrested for certain kerbside collections. Jokes like that probably didn't occur to Brisbane jazz-funk outfit Kerbside Collection when recording this debut album. Largely because they were escaping the 2011 freak floods that devastated their home town. However they rose above the odds and laid these tracks down the old fashioned way (recorded all together in a room- warts and all) including a gritty jazz funk George Benson cover ("P Park"), a jazz/reggae number ("Red Stripe") and a cool jazz dance cover of a John Coltrane classic ("Impressions").

Review:
Jukebox Jam always excel themselves in their selection of re-issued vintage gems. Still, there's something extra special about seeing the work of the late, great and iconic Mexican guitarist/activist brought into the digital age. It may be electronic, but with these two raw Latino anthems you can almost smell the booze, the ponchos and everything else found in a little after hours bar down Mexico way.

Review:
Here we have the debut album from self-confessed 'sunshine pop' musician Lucas Arruda. Now 30, Lucas spent his formative years playing in hard rock bands but was converted to soul and jazz by a deadly seductress (a vintage Fender Rhodes actually) in his early 20s. This impressive long-planned long player features a cornucopia of styles and moods, including the lazy 70s soul of opener "Physis", the gentle Rio-funk of "Tamba (Pt1), the smooth vocals of "Who's That Lady?" and the lilting bossa nova of "Alma Nova".

Review:
An excellent split-single release, this is one for the heads out their. Named in honour of the first song from Tribe Called Quest's first album, Lucien's Luck's "You Should Know" is in fact an excellent (an overdue) edit of the sample source - Billy Brooks' "Forty Days". On the flip, The Funktified Enforcers give JB's classic "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" a wigged-out psych makeover.

Review:
Pretty self-explanatory title here, veteran French producer Patchworks presents two shining examples of his famously exemplary productions. First up is the 2003 Motorcity mix of Metropolitan Jazz Affair's "Yunowhatthislifeez" which is light and breezy with hazy trumpets and laconic, slappy bass. Mr President's "The Best Is Yet To Come" is a thrilling dead ringer for the urgent 70s soul of Curtis Mayfield. Also included is bonus cover of Gershwin's standard "Summertime", turned into a loungey Latino workout by Patchworks himself.

Review:
How many edit series can boast reaching a tenth volume? Ok, well how many can boast of attaining ten successful ones? Here French funk party commander Morlack provides five new top-notch retweaks that take no prisoners. "Loose It" is a tight James Brown-style jam that occasionally veers into French electro territory, "Let's Boogie" is all funk grooves and tough hip-hop breaks, "Big Pill" is total rubberband disco-funk,"Capital S" is more electro-boogie and finally "Tough" wraps things up with a big ole slap bass and flute singalong!

Review:
Not wanting to slow his relentless momentum, Mr Confuse is back in town, all guns blazing and clutching a remixed version of his recent LP, "Do You Realise". All 12 tracks are given a reboot from a variety of producers, highlights of which include the electro-funky big beat of Smoove's remix of ""Catch Me", the totally bonkers Bootsy Collins-esque Funkanomics remix of "Hold On" and the luxuriantly exotic Przasnik remix of "Big Livin".

Review:
For their next trick, classic cult label Honest Jon's serve up a collection of field recordings of the Mijikenda tribes, made in different spots in and around Mukunguni village, coastal Kenya. There's 14 in total, and it proves a fascinating listen: first track, the creepily percussive "Ndema" is played to sound like a bat, with shrill frequencies intended to heal the village sick, the chant of "Dena" is haunting, "Matatizo" is fantastic acapella pop, while elsewhere multi drums are utilised to chase away "Pepo Mlume", the devil who poisons the imagination. Essential listening.

Review:
Belgium is not somewhere re-issue experts Mr Bongo expected to find such a fine example of lost rare funk, but that they did. This album, which they say is a 'one of the greatest records to blend both Latin and Afro funk', was originally released back in 1971 and features 10 excursions into bonkers retro funk territory. "Cabello Negro" kicks things off with an urgent hammond and brass wig out, elsewhere we get laid-back Latin ("Naci Para Bailar"), blissed out easy listening ("Samba De Uno Noto So") and even groovy Age Of Aquarius-style freakouts ("Baile Chibiquiban").

Review:
In a break from their high quality re-issue campaigns, Hot Casa switch focus to the contemporary for their newest release. Fourteen-armed Parisian Latin-funk combo, Setenta, are back with the highly anticipated follow up to their 2010 debut Funky Tombao. Boasting as many tracks as they have arms, "Latin Piece Of Soul" sees the band really fine tune the fusion sound they always sought to achieve, particularly on tracks like the wah-wah and organ freak-out of opener "Colorblind", the Afro-electro-funk of "Guapeta" and the disco influenced "Mambo Machine".

Review:
Funky break veterans Skeewiff are back (having apparently won 'Best Electro-Swing Producers Of The Year 2012 award), this time with a bumper packed collection of their remixes of cult 1970s British library music (one of their favourite sources of breaks). There's lots of loungey exotic action to choose from including the sassy, brassy "Scarper", the trippy "Hyper Hippo", the driving, clenched teeth disco rock of "Jet Propelled" and the many collabs with original bandleader Syd Dale (the best of which being the kitschy D&B of "Supermarket Hustle").
3 kits chopped into mainly 8 or 16 bar MIDI loops for bass guitar, electric piano, clavinet, organ, synthesiser, vibes, flute
140 Kontakt instrument files, 140 Rex2 files, 140 processed WAV loops and 140 clean WAV loops for rock, indie & funk productions
