A piece of music history

"Small Club, 2nd Show That Night" is probably the most famous Prince bootleg as it captures one of the many after-shows Prince performed throughout the years. Many of these gigs have been recorded but none in such pristine sound quality. The listener gets to experience the performance as much as the audience did at that moment in time. It's a piece of music history...

Reflections on The Artist formerly known as Prince

I think I must have been 15,16 years of age when Prince’s music entered my life. His music came on a cassette tape a friend gave to me. “Hey man, listen to this!!” So I did. And so did the music enter my mind and opened up doors that would never close again.

Rhythm rules throughout the globe

It is amazing what gets done when time is on your side. A global release. The beat, that relentless pulse, pop tunes have their place but a down to the bone popping chill, rocks our house.

Some lab experiments fail, this one succeeded

The album sees the band combining their eclectic sound into a compelling journey that moves across reggae, soul, funk & blues.

Funky bass lines and upbeat hip-hop breaks

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin’ Loud

A virtual album

One of the greatest stars of the rock & roll era, David Bowie evaded easy categorisation throughout his career, operating as the artiest rocker within the mainstream and the most accessible musician on the fringe. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft had a significant impact on popular music.

A psychedelic guitar journey around the world

NUSANTARAFRIKA takes us on a psychedelic guitar journey around the world, traversing yet more strange and exotic territory in a quest for musical enlightenment.

Profoundly Groovy

Julye Blom’s powerful soul voice resonates profoundly while groovy bass, syncopated drums and crisp guitar with peals of Hammond organ and horns lay down the deeply funky tunes. The song embraces the spirit and heart in music blurring the lines between eras of sound. You can feel the pure emotion put into this single - combination of misty eyed nostalgia and the infinite power of love.

A rich collection of NeoBop, NuJazz, Funk and Latin music

"Uber Chill" brings together elements of various musical styles combined with unexpected instrumental solos, richly layered synth sounds, hip rhythms and bluesy, funky guitar hooks. 

The backstory to this track is as interesting as the track itself

It was 1974, and Toronto was undergoing a cultural shift. The usual pop fare was starting to assimilate the rhythms of the Caribbean – not just Soca, and calypso – but a music known and beloved by those who immigrated from Jamaica called, ‘Reggae.’

Funky Soulsteady Beat from Washington D.C. & Belgium

The Badasonics mixes Soul and Funk together with Jamaican riddims and horns with the soulful rock and reggae voice of Caz Gardiner to deliver a pulsating party of soul steady beats.

1980, where dance, jazz and funk would converge

Star Planet Funk is a witness to an era and those Atlanta players who were there for the music in a city that regarded artists as baggage. Low wages, few opportunities.
