In recent years, Los Angeles rapper Blu has become one of hip-hop’s

most prolific artists, releasing more than a dozen acclaimed projects and

building a worldwide fanbase. The gifted lyricist often joins forces with a

single producer for an entire collection, leading to classic collaborative

releases with Exile, Nottz, Madlib, and more. Now, Blu is back with The

Blueprint, a new mixtape produced by Shafiq Husayn. Known as one

third of visionary production team Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Shafiq

has produced for the likes of Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Andre 3000,

John Legend, Anderson Paak, Thundercat, Bilal, Ty Dolla $ign, Ice T,

and many more. Dedicated to the gang culture that permeates the city

they both call home, The Blueprint reflects Blu’s eternal L.A. state of

mind, with Shafiq’s eclectic soundscapes providing the perfect backdrop.

After mysteriously appearing online and then abruptly disappearing, the

project is now receiving an official release on CD and vinyl.

According to Merriam-Webster, “Vignettes” means, a short descriptive literary sketch/brief incident or scene (as in a play or movie). The album is aptly titled where 15 musical scenes, each with their own unique settings, are stitched harmoniously together to provide a universal message to the audience in which they use the gift of their own interpretation. At just over 2 hours long, the listener is given an unfiltered front row performance into the heart, mind and soul of the the artist. This latest effort from Damu the Fudgemunk is of typical and unorthodox proportions. Musically, it’s what you should expect from the man who brought you the How it Should Sound franchise, Supply for Demand and The Spur Momento Trailer. Intellectually, it’s his most vulnerable piece of work to date. Hoping to challenge and inspire the listener through a musical narrative, its content is open ended. Any resulting opinion that provokes thinking is encouraged given the message in this Vignettes album. Even the art direction is intentionally abstract and undefined to welcome the attention of all people. The album is completely instrumental except for “Openings,” the lone vocal track which features Raw Poetic. With a “Quality over Quantity” slogan, Redefinition Records adds Vignettes to its legacy and marks their first 3LP vinyl release. Though the word vignettes may refer to something brief, Damu the Fudgemunk’s new album Vignettes has a long future ahead for years to come.

DJ Spinna’s third beat tape, Unpicked Treats Volume Two, on Redefinition

is here and just may be his best yet. Returning with another batch of

outstanding instrumentals in the trademark style he’s known for, fans of

volume one will be entertained without interruption. Volume two is full of

sample packed boom bap perfection, but this time, there’s a twist in the

plot. Known for mostly for his production on hardware based samplers

since his career beginnings in the early 90’s, the double threat producer

tapped into his DJ skillset to compose all the tracks on this album

exclusively using Serato’s “Serato Sample” software. The software was

imagined as a live performance tool for DJ’s, but in the hands of a genius

like DJ Spinna, brace yourself for wonderous creativity as he ventured

to be the first artist to use Serato Sample for a whole project. To date,

his previous vinyl pressings sell relatively fast so prepare to grab a copy

while they’re in stock. Spinna has done it again!

The Art of the Sample is a unique project for New York hip-hop producer

Blockhead. He was given access to sample De Wolfe’s music library and

create his own library record. In his own words “These are not typical

Blockhead songs. They’re more stripped down and focused for the

purpose of being used in TV and film.”

“For those who are unfamiliar with De Wolfe, they are a music library that

has been doing music for film, radio and television for nearly 100 years.

They make original music that gets plugged into all sorts of things and

has been heard around the world. If you’re a producer, you have very

likely sampled them and not even realized it. I was fortunate enough for

them to allow me to make an album entirely out of their back catalogue.”

Tales of sordid street escapades, drugs and fast women have been

long running themes for Tucson, AZ’s Zackey Force Funk. Though these

are themes that have been explored to excess in music over the years,

his psychedelic, acid-trip style has been what places him in another

realm. Three quarters singing and one quarter rapping, the Force Funk

sound has been well-established in the world of underground electronic

music over the last decade. With the arrival of his MoFunk debut album,

Bodyrock Shotgun, ZFF is set to advance yet another level with melodic

modern funk production that challenges him to expand his one-of-a-kind

vocal style to new territory.

Highlights include the XL Middleton-produced title cut, a slow-rolling,

vocoder-laced tune that haunts as much as it thumps. Brian Ellis brings

his signature brand of moody electro funk on “Glass Dick Lovin’,” a dark

tale of love lost to drug addiction. “Money Weighs A Ton,” imported

from the recent Boy Dude LP on Hobo Camp, slides seamlessly into

the playlist with pulsating synths framing an unapologetic hustler’s

manifesto. “El Mero Mero” (prod. by XL Middleton) stands as another

declaration of street corner superiority, while “Get The Gun” serves as

a self-explanatory footnote on how to keep said position, over Moog-y

production from Adam Chini that is equal parts Blaxploitation and retro

science fiction. Further productions from Throwback Zack, Proh Mic,

Trailer Limon, DJ Spy-D, and Elegant Borzoi form a veritable who’s who in

the land of modern funk, and show Zackey’s superb ear for beat curation.

Bad Taste presents the vinyl edition of cult classic Lighthouse Tape.

Originally released in 2015 but now re-issued on wax with a bonus new

track “COMPOUND”.

Trellion lives in a lighthouse, situated inland, possibly due to the highly

probable threat of oncoming large scale floods. His sweg level was an

insult to the gods. He’s been making a mark on the scene for the last few

years with his accidental take on rap that that is akin to the movements

of an internet troll, Trellion aka “lil heart attack” rightfully secures your

attention from the moment you hear his distinctive drawl and sedated

tone.

As one quarter of Cult Mountain, he has dropped strange and exciting

music over the last few years that has gained attention from the likes of

Alchemist, Knxwledge, Da$h & Retch to name a few.

Kamal Keila was among the first artist we met in Sudan during our two

trips to Khartoum and Omdurman last year. He is one of the key figures

of the Sudanese jazz scene that was a vital part of the musical culture in

Sudan from the mid 1960s until the islamist revolution in the late 1980s.

When we meet Kamal he luckily presented us with two mold covered

studio reels.

Each tape included five tracks. One with English lyrics and another with

Arabic ones. Musically you can hear the influence of neighboring Ethiopia

much more than on other Sudanese recordings of the time, as well as

references to Fela and American funk and soul. His lyrics, at least when

he sings in English which gave him more freedom from censorship, are

very political. A brave statement in the political climate of Sudan of the

last decades, preaching for the unity of Sudan, peace between Muslims

and Christians and singing the blues about the fate of war orphans called

“Shmasha“.

A note inside one of the boxes specified the track titles, durations and

the fact that the sessions were recorded on the 12th of august 1992.

Both sessions stand as a hearable testament how Kamal Keila stuck to

a sound aesthetic from decades ago, while incorporating current events

into his lyrics.

Kamal Keila’s album is the first in a series of releases covering the

Sudanese jazz scene on Habibi Funk. Be on the lookout for albums by

The Scorpions and Sharhabeel coming soon.

Melbourne R&B slow jammers (and heart throbbers) Leisure Centre

are proud to announce the release of their long awaited debut album,

Mind Full. Expected this July, the album, which sits on a darker and more

electronic plane to their previous EP, takes their staple of 808 kick drums

and tight vocal harmonies into almost Little Dragonesque territories.

Mind Full sees the band experiment with frenetic drum programming,

cascading synthesizers and intimate vocals.

Drummer, singer, songwriter and producer Hugh Rabinovici says, “the

sentiment in the songs is gentle and familiar, often tackling personal

ideas around anxiety, mental health and well-being, with a few love

songs thrown in, ‘cause how goods love? It’s real good”. The songs have

that feeling about them too, with an innocent playfulness in ‘Don’t Let Go’

(featuring Bec Rigby of The Harpoons) and Audrey Powne’s effortless

and powerful lead in ‘Those Days’.

The album is a tour of extremes, from the sparse minimalism of title

track ‘Mind Full’ to the exuberant disco maximalism of ‘Sucka’. It’s also

a perfect marriage of lofi and hifi digital technology: Hugh Rabinovici

originally created demos using only Garageband on an iPhone 4, with

the final mixes by Bob Knob still retaining some elements from those

humble beginnings.

Mind Full is Leisure Centre’s first major release since their 2016 EP, One

Plus One. Expect more sweet lead vocals, more stacked harmonies,

more live instrumentation, more electronica, more digital, more analog,

more bump, more grind and more vibe.

Southern California soul, that is equal parts driving and dreamy. Produced

California’s The Sentiments are back with another dose of sweet soul for

“What’s So Good About Saying Goodbye” enters like a classic soul record

with a signature drums fill leading into heavy hits accompanied by violins,

fuzz guitar, vibes, and lush horns arrangements. And to answer The

Sentiments’ question, what’s so good about saying goodbye is knowing

that after you do you can go to your local shop and grab this sweet

seven inch. The song and arrangement, like the last, embodies so many

elements that make up that sweet soulful sound that keeps reminding

people why its better to smile now and cry later. Produced and recorded

they do not disappoint. Scratchy guitars, throbbing bass, tight drums,

and horn stabs. This track is no poser. The B Side heads back to LBR’s

instrumental approach with “Mugu Chase”. This one could be straight

out of an early 70’s Cop television show. Down the gritty streets, over a

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Originally from The Sharon Jones album

of the same name, 100 Days, 100 Nights as done by Kansas City’s Chris

Hazelton’s Boogaloo 7 is no joke. Listen carefully and you could almost

hear Sharon Jones singing through Hazelton’s Hammond Organ with all

of that great depth and soul you’d expect of this combo. Rounded out

by his Boogaloo 7, this tribute has no choice but to shine. To paraphrase

Jamison Harvey AKA DJ Prestige (who wrote the liner notes for the

Sunflower Soul release, The Basement Beat).

“A Powerful song on its own, and Sharon Jones at her best, Hazelton

replaces her voice with his Hammond organ, and once again preaches

the good gospel.”

Along with a great sax solo by Zak Pischnotte, you’ve, of course, got

Chris Hazelton screaming over the top. Side B starts off right where the A

Side ended with the soulful “Hazelton coming back in with the fever and

spirit of Sharon herself, to carry this beautiful and respectful cover to the

promised land.

TRACKLISTING

“Unit’s Groove” is a superb modern soul dancer with insanely tight heavy

basslines, a super funky dancefloor filler with fantastic arrangement

and vocals, a sought after masterpiece! Side B’s “Hand-in-Hand“ is a

heartbreaking, intimate & spacey modern soul ballad.

Founded in 1983 by brothers Willard Richardson Jr. and Patrick

Richardson, The Unit Band gathered in a few multi-talented singers and

musicians, all neighborhood friends who grew up together and attended

Alcee Fortier High and surrounding schools. At the time, The Unit Band

also interacted with other New Orleans based groups such as the Neville

Brothers, Chocolate Milk, Family Players and Windjammer who later got

signed to major labels.

The original issue of this 45 is pretty much impossible to find and turns

up for sale extremely seldom. We are finally able to bring this grail to you

legitimately in high quality. Rare modern soul, boogie & funk collectors

will definitely be thrilled by the reissue of this rare, highly collectable and

totally essential 45!

Ridiculously rare & sought after private pressed 45 from Atlanta, Georgia,

that hardly ever turns up for sale in its original issue. It features the

seemingly widely unknown pounding modern soul dancer “I Wanna

Take A Chance With You”, an absolutely killer tune with stellar production

and vocals from the talented Early Clover. Side A’s “Who Are You “ is

an intimate and deep piece of soul music with superb songwriting

techniques.

Born and raised on a small farm in the heart of Georgia, lead singer

and guitarist Early Clover started his own band Early Clover and The

Bosa Novas at the age of 14. In 1967, he changed the band’s name

to The Middle Georgia Soul Drifters. They became very popular locally

and began being the backup band for such acts as Rufus Thomas, Joe

Simon, William Bell, Jay Hines, Nancy Butts, and opening for such acts

as Tyrone Davis, Marvin Sease, Clarence Carter, Betty Wright and Full

Force. After the breakup of the group, Early Clover put together some

musicians and went to Haywood Recording Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,

and recorded “Who Are You” and “I Wanna Take A Chance With You” in

1977 to be a part of an album, but went on the road and didn’t complete

the album but performed the song live a year and a half before releasing

it as a 45 rpm single.

Featured on the playlists of very few crate digging DJ’s out there, this

45 gets an overdue and legitimate repress in its original form. Essential!

HOME MARKET: Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaRELEASE: 7/20/2018LIST PRICE: $16.98 / CQ



Superb, heartwarming and spirit lifting gospel disco modern soul 45

first released in 1978 on Philadelphia United Records. Calvin Carr &

Company are enriched with sensitivity and alive with the spirit. The kind

of gospel that sweeps all over you and runs through your veins. There

is always a sense of inadequacy when attempting to describe just how

good something is. Words like exciting, inspiring and original come to

mind but as always you will have to decide for yourself. Born and raised

in Philadelphia, gospel singer, songwriter, arranger, pianist, band leader

and producer Calvin Carr (now a Minister of the Gospel) possessed

excellent ears for music at a very young age. The sounds of music that

shaped his life were the sounds of his early church singing experience.

He began playing the piano at the age of 9, continued his work in

music throughout high school, composing, singing in different churches,

learned how to executive produce and ended up working for the TCS

Music Company under the direction of its founder Mr. Tony Carter,

displaying the talents of Philadelphia’s local artists such as Gabriel

Hardeman Delegation, The Young Delegation, Little Sammy & The Flying

Cloud Jrs., Gwen Carter, The Collins Sisters, Brockington Singers… In

1978 Calvin released the now scarce and relatively unknown “Without

Christ” 45 on the TCS Philadelphia United Records subsidiary. By the

end of 1980, Calvin Carr met Andrew Ford and his younger brother and

musical genius, Steven Ford and with their partners, horn arranger Leon

Frison, drummer Garfield Williams and bassist “Ting” Paul Burke, they

formed the “Sweet Rain Records” Company that has produced some of

America’s most notable gospel artists such as: Pastor Hezekiah Walker

and the Love Fellowship Crusade Choir, Barbara Ward Farmer and the

Wagner Alumni Choir, Rev Hubert Powell And The Gospel Truth, The

Brockington Ensemble, Southeast Inspirational Choir, The Institutional

Radio Choir of Brooklyn, N.Y, Southeast Inspirational Choir of Houston,

The second record in The Centennial Trilogy is Diaspora. The term

diaspora is used here by Christian in the broadest sense possible. He

is referring to the world Diaspora – All peoples, oneness & love. While

Ruler Rebel identifies who is speaking, Diaspora identifies the listener

– who is being spoken to. Growing up in the Upper Ninth Ward of New

Orleans, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah was keenly aware that people

of different histories and cultures were enduring the same experiences

and challenges. Despite this commonality, they accepted the notion that

they we’re not kin and therefore nemesis. Topical ideas like race, religious

purview, sexual preference & perceived economic standing ultimately

stunt the growth of community, which in turn stunts the growth of cities

and municipalities, states and provinces, nations, and finally our world.

A deliberate stretching of styles and genres speak to this fundamental

issue and offers a path forward. A path to break down perceived barriers

and work together to build a lasting future.
