Martha HIGH

A Little Taste Of Soul (7")

Record Kicks

Cat: RK45 069. Rel: 23 Oct 17

A Little Taste Of Soul (3:02)
Unwind Yourself (3:42)

Review: Since 2003, Record Kicks has been the "explosive sound of today's scene" and, by the looks of this latest nugget from Martha High, they're right on track to fulfill that promise! The talented US vocalist was on the front row of James Brown's hits in the 60's and 70's, but she's since then focused on her own glorious soul material. "A Little Taste Of Soul" comes as a ray of shining light on a wet October afternoon, full of funky sensibility and heartfelt vibes, making for the perfect dance number for those looking for that groovy thang. For the B-side, "Unwind Yourself" slows the tempo down, breaks up the groove, and unleashes High's Goddess-like voice amid those tasty breaks - what a winner!

REPETENTES 2008

Boulderball (LP)

Future Times US

Cat: FT 043. Rel: 23 Oct 17

Olimpiadas Pizza Hut (4:06)
Avenida Maluca (1:00)
Andre Gomes Tour De Force (4:10)
Boulevard Internacional (feat Will DiMaggio) (4:39)
Patota Pedreira (1:45)
Bruno Penna Funk (3:53)
Nene Gets Hilario (0:59)
Fazenda Sacrificio (Most Recent mix) (4:44)
Unemployment Grand Prix (4:15)

Review: The latest loved-up blast of electronic colour from the Future Times camp comes from Repententes 2008, the anything-goes alias of producer Gabriel Guerra. This debut album no doubt fits neatly in the kaleidoscopic, synth-heavy FT catalogue, while at the same time offering a range of tracks united by the quirkiness of their approach. Listen carefully and you'll hear the influence of 1980s video game soundtracks, Brazilian jazz-fusion, hook-driven electronic pop and new age Japanese ambient music played at the wrong speed. It's incredibly difficult to pin down - Guerra is not one to settle on one style, groove or idea for too long - but also hugely enjoyable. It may take a few listens to really sink in, but it's more than worth the effort.

DJ SOOPASOUL/KOOL & THE GANG/GENE REDD/ARETHA FRANKLIN

Soopastole Edits Vol 2 (hand-numbered clear vinyl 7" limited to 250 copies)

Soopastole

Cat: SSR 202. Rel: 23 Oct 17

Kool & The Gang & Gene Redd - "Give It Up" (DJ Soopasoul edit) (4:04)
Aretha Franklin - "Rock Steady" (DJ Soopasoul edit) (3:29)

Review: Jalapeno jive maestro Soupasoul has been a busy funkateer this year. Not least with this impeccable edit series. Subtly resculpting funk standards and forgotten classics with full emphasis on the breaks they blessed us with, every single "45 has been a dancefloor riot... Not least this jam hot take on "Give It Up" and "Rock Steady". The former is full focus on the tight horn Q&A and those classic jazzy swoons on the chorus while the latter is all about Aretha's gutsy vocals and that killer breakbeat. Only 250 copies pressed... Soop soop!

Review: After 60 blessed years on the planet, Oghene Kologbo has just given the world the record of his life. A strong statement considering he's worked and recorded with all the Afrobeat greats from Kuti to Sunny Ade, but a true one. The collaborative work comprising luminaries such as Tony Allen, Pat Thomas, members of Antibalas and the Afrobeat Academy, Joseph Cotton and many more (including Paris DJs producers Loik and Grant) this is the sound Afrofunk's deepest foundations being built on in an array of fused futurist ways; the blazing flute-led jazz of "Who Is Who", the bluesy subdued storytelling of "Abandon Property", the raw, gutsy tribal loops of "Another Man Ting", the fiery party-punctuated funk of "My People"... This is an incredible investigation and celebration of Africa past, present and future all wrapped up in an immaculate and ambitious package. Apparently there's plenty more to come too...
