>>VIRGO BLAKTRO

Ok, this is something for neon flashing rave moments.



A master class in sugar-frosted vocal pop, soulful synth-funk and pulsing electronic disco, it is comfortably the most satisfying album this dance music icon has produced. Six years after he glammed up dance floors with Kittenz And Thee Glitz, 20 since he stepped into a studio to record his first underground hit at the age of 15, one of modern pop's great outsiders is about to embark on the next phase of his remarkable career.
Not only is Virgo Blaktro Felix's black soul odyssey, it's also one of the purest pop rushes you'll hear all year. Says Felix: "I wanted to go Parliament, I wanted to go Sly And The Family Stone, I wanted to go black Prince. But at the same time I wanted to go like George Michael and Pet Shop Boys - only them being black, 'cos this stuff is all black-influenced. So I had to do this Blaktro record"

>>ROISIN MURPHY



The new single from Roisin Murphy 'Let Me Know' will be released October 8th, followed by the long awaited album 'Overpowered' on October 15th.

Co-written and produced by Andy Cato of Groove Armada and mixed by Dan Carey (Kylie, Sly & Robbie, CSS, Lily Allen) it's pure retro pop-disco and Roisin apparently took inspiration for it from her performance at Danny Krivit’s 718 Sessions in New York last year.

>>BECK



The Space Captain BECK comes up with a one-off release.

A press release confirmed Beck's first new recordings since 2006's acclaimed "The Information", although gave no details of a possible follow-up.
It reads: "The lyric of 'Timebomb' echoes some of the dark themes from that album ('The Information') but is packaged in digital gris gris thunder as only Beck can do it."
The statement also reveals that "Timebomb" features "a whole gang of studio visitors on back-up vocals".
Paranoid chants and bright bleeps, washed-out chords and crisp rhythms come together in a pleasantly disorienting whirl.

footnote : the guy on the cover is the dancer at becks live performance
Beck says "Timebomb" is "a song for bonfires, blackouts, and the last hurrah of summer."

>>PRINS THOMAS





Norwegian spaceman Prins Thomas reaches for the outer limits of the dancefloor on his debut mix CD, ‘Cosmo Galactic Prism’

Alongside his pal Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas is Norway’s primary leftfield disco exporter these days. Thomas has a background as a bass player in different projects, ranging from punk bands to folk and psychedelia, but he gave all that up for DJing, production and remixing - recently he’s knocked off rethinks of tracks by Blackjoy, Justus Köhncke and Simian Mobile Disco to name a few.

His debut mix CD is 38 tracks of super-eclectic sounds that make a dancefloor meal out of prog rock (Hawkwind), fifties electronics (Joe Meek), krautrock (Holger Czukay), techno (Soylent Green, Tres Demented), Cologne minimal (Closer Musik), jazz (Bob James), funk (Parliament) and a lot of other flavours which we’re only dimly aware of. How did you squeeze that lot onto 2CDs, Prins? “I had to edit down the length of some of the tracks after the final mix. Some light trickery and magic were also used...and just a little bit of voodoo.” Far out.

So is there a grand concept behind the mix? “Remember, this ain't rocket science,” explains Thomas. “It's a mixture of old and new favourites, some you might have heard already and hopefully some that are new to you. I tried as much as possible to make an interesting mix of individual tracks that still had some kind of feel and flow to it.”

>>BLACK DEVIL DISCO CLUB

SONAR 2007



This rare live set was recorded at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona in June 2007. Black Devil 'Disco Club' ep was one of the most legendary and sought after of all the leftfield disco records of the late 70s, meshing insistent live drumming, hypnotic electronics, tape loops and sidereal vocals into a mysterious, dark and delirious disco masterwork. The work of French library composers Benard Fevre and Jacky Giordano, the record gained totemic status amongst electro-disco afficonados, eventually leading to a timely re-issue on Rephlex Records in 2004.

28 years after the original vinyl appeared, Bernard Fevre has teamed up with electronic musician Gwen Jamois to reconvene the Black Devil Disco Club, further exploring the realms of dark, hypnotic and subliminally seductive electronic disco first hinted at by the original 1978 record, resulting in pair of LPs on Lo Recordings (lorecordings.com) and a series of remixes.

>>JAMEL SHABAZZ

product image


BACK IN THE DAYS (by Jamel Shabazz) documents the emerging hip-hop scene from 1980-1989 before it became what is today’s multi-million-dollar multinational industry. Back in the days, gangs would battle not with guns, but by break dancing. Back in the days, the streets not corporate planning set the standards for style. Back in the days, Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, photographing everyday people hangin’ in Harlem, kickin’ it in Queens, and cold chillin’ in Brooklyn.
Street styling with an attitude not seen in fashion for another twenty years to come, Shabazz’s subjects strike poses that put supermodels to shame showing off Kangol caps and Gazelle glasses, shell-top Adidas and suede Pumas with fat laces, shearling coats and leather jackets, gold rope chains, door-knocker earrings, name belts, boom boxes, and other designer finery. For anyone who wants to know what “keepin’ it real” means, Back in the Days is the book of your dreams.
Hardcover, 7.25 x 9.75 inches, 128 pages, 80 four-colour and black-and-white photographs

A Time Before Crack
Photographs by Jamel Shabazz
Essays by Charlie Ahearn and Terrence Jennings
Introduction by Claude Grunitzky
Afterword by James "Koe" Rodriquez
Once upon a time before crack, inner city communities were blighted by poverty and unemployment but not by the drug wars that tore families apart, destroying lives with needless violence and mindless addiction. Once upon a time before crack, pride and style were as inseparable as a beatbox and mixtape, or as a pair of shoes and matching purse. Once upon a time before crack, Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, working the streets of New York City, capturing the faces and places of an era that have long since disappeared.

>>UNKLE


prelude to UNKLE



James Lavelle has described the album as “rawer than ‘Psyence Fiction’ and Never, Never, Land although it’s more in the vein of the traditional singer/songwriter. If the first record was UNKLE does hip hop and the second record was UNKLE does electronic, then this one is like UNKLE does rock.
