    MUKATSUKU CHART
    PATRICK FORGE KISS FM-02.11.2003
    'FORWARDSBACKWARDS' RADIO SHOW PLAYLIST show number 011 .Number 010 is up on site until then .check it baby ! - www.milkaudio.com
     
    1. whistle bump -strings of life -whistlebump -uk 12''
    why on earth a uk 12'' single would be 8.99 is anybodys guess but one assumes that its down to shop greed rather than inflation.it doesnt make sense...but what the heck....i saw the 12'' and it saw me and i humbly obeyed its orders of ''buy me !''....''buy me ! ''.still its a big tune with a stringtastic jazzy keyed rendition given the re edit by danny krivit (and its official too ! )
     
    2.gerardo frisina -hi note - schema - italy 2x 12'' lp
    with luigi bonafede on piano...emanuele cisi on tenor sax.....andrea dulbecco on vibes.....enzo lo greco on bass.....and marco brioschi on trumpet this is jazzzzz baby....make no mistake about that.'Inviolatin' is awesome.
     
    3.nas -heaven feat jully -white uk 12''
    another thing doesnt make sense is the bootleggers keep churning out 12's left right & centre.this 12 is a truely beautiful re work and comes from the same camp as yam who ? but why the usa pricetag of 6.99 ?theres no royalties....no publishing.....no artwork sleeve.....no artist investment....its pressed in uk for gods sake ! maybe i shouldnt complain....afterall...whilst im prepared to pay inflated prices then its only going to happen in the future too....but....u knowhatimean ?????????what say you ?
     
    4.only child featuring veba -find a way -yam who remix-grand central uk 12''
    Yam who?= real deal.lovely lovely lovey and ''official'' which makes a nice change....
     
    5.DJ Mitsu the Beats - Ep 2 - Planet Groove 12'' -Japan 12''
    Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ! The one we've been waiting for.''Right Here'' featuring Dwele is simply a piece enchanting music from the killer album from Sendai Producer Mitsu and his ''Awakenings'' album.Theres a collaboration with members of Little brother and a wicked track called ''Rendevous'' featuring Mark de Clive Lowe on the flipside.Essential.
     
    6.various - big bang blow -victor - japan 12''
    respects to pg for the tip off as this tokyo ska paradise orchestra selected 12'' of japanese jazz from da past showcases a full album of rarities presumably from a cd album to come.
     
    7.Da Lata - Serious - Palm Beats -uk 12'' & lp
    Dancefloor devestation personified as West London remixer Paul Seiji goes head to head with Da Lata for already one of the biggest tunes on the dancefloor.Awesome original mixes plus instrumentals on both with sub bass added on Seji's mix for the hips n headz and great drums.Seiji's mix of Steppah Hunter is fantastic but this mix is baaaaaad.lp in the shops now....
     
    8.racla -zampa/reflection - soul sauce -japan 12''
    as with last single theres a toshio matsuura mix ......flip it over for the soul sauce mixes and check out the sleeve.Best looking giraffs ive seen on a record cover since i dont know when....
     
    9.mokadi -chica da ici -perfect toy - german - 12''

    electric sheep (shuya okino/hajime yoshizawa)deliver a fine remix thats worth checking.
     
    12.Koop -Alternative takes ep - Compost - German 12''
    Never let you go' by Carmen Lundy is one of the all time jazz vocal classics.....Yukimi Nagano is one of the most spine tingling
    female vocalists around today.Here Koop's live version recorded live at Motion Blue in Yokohama has Yukimi delivering spine tingling listening pleasures that'll make you think some one has off loaded half a dozen ice cubes down the neck of your shirt.Hird...Two banks of four & a mix by mikael nordgren mixes on the 12 aswell but when you hear 'Never let you go' the first time....you'll be re winding the rest of the week.
     
    13.Bakura-veya,veya- /thinking about -  - Especial cd. Japan
    Next installment from Osaka label Especial that i think i'll get into the shops on vinyl 12'' around the end of next month.Cida de Assis teams up with Domu & Marin to deliver a future brazilian classic whilst 'thinking about' which has already been played by Gilles n' Patrick on da radio has a melody that will uplift your spirit and fill your dancefloor with booty swaying singing girls !!
     
    14.Don carlos-take me higher featuring michelle weeks  -irma unlimited - usa 12''
    Yukihiro Fukutomi on the remix.oH MY GOD ! uplifting anthem that has the strongest of men going weak at the knees & previewed on the radio show a few weeks ago .You neeeed this.......U dig ?!?
     
    15.50hz-seek know moore -loop -newzealand 12''
    xantone (search for the sun)blaque on the mix.not sure about the rap but the groove is great.
     
    16.mini groove orchestra -are you minigrooved -glop glop mix -follow me- france 12''
    only one mix we're playing on this 12 but its a sweet mix with brass stabs,rhodes,live bass and girly background vocals.god only knows what a 'glop glop' is.any ideas ?
     
    17.frankie valentine -merenga -spot records - canada 12''
    deep....deep gentle afro runnings with xavier fischer from germany again on the keys......

    19.viva brasil - skindo le le -7 bridges/p vine -japan 12''
    im very late on this 12....(i know im crap ! )as its been out a month ......but finally i get my mitts on a copy that has skindo le le & batucada recorded live at the kabuki theatre in san francisco in 1983.club tastic.
     
    20.headtop -sweet power - uk 12'' white
    remember mad shit ?this is the same crew with a 4/4 version of a james mason classic that does the do.
     
    21.various -family planning vol 2 -mainsqueeze uk 12''
    4 tracker.....peven everett (you lot seen him live yet ?)goes for a re rub on gabriel pt2 and theres tracks from da one away....likwid biscuit & a great track from quango feat lain.

    23.didier sound system -composition *6 -Timmion - Finland 7''
    Great little 7'' from Didier.Tall man with long hair & da beats.mid tempo afro shanigans on a funky slab of wax.300 pressed.super limited.respects to da jussi & sampsa for the tip off.
     
    24.earth wind & fire -never -cutting edge - japan 12''
    maurice white & gregory curtis track gets remixed in vocal & instrumental form by the very respectable sunaga t.very nice indeed.
     
    25.d.o.i -audible ep 2 -revirth - japan 12''
    its deep.stick with it....big on the bass notes and then trickling keys & rhodes gently nudge you into submission.At the half way stage you're hooked and then there's no looking back before the rhodes solo teases you and you're sold till its close.we love love love this.subtle ness is in !
     
    26.Penny Drop -ma futura featuring Hilton Smith -
    unmistakeable sound of Roots Manuva masquerading with Hilton Smith personna with this low slung low end bass bumpin,rump shakin,hip swaying groove over the soul drenched soulfulness of  ma futura.
     
    27.passion dance orchestra -worlds theme 2 -needs -german 12''
    everyone 'needs' some needs in their world.these are the remixes of the club favorite coming out november 10th.
     
    28.tama wai para -april lady -obliquesound -uk/usa 12''?
    nice vocals on this 12 but im heading for the wai wan instrumental who consistently throughout his career has nocked up some fine productions.
     
    29.Dinning Rooms -Flamenco Sketches - Nicola Conte Version - Schema 12'' -Italy
    Ahhhhhh......The latest top notch ,don dadda Nicola Conte remix comes to us in the shape of a rework for those rather fine Italian gentlemen...The Dining Rooms.Due in September with a John 'Do Right' Kong remix to come , Nicola (the nu jazz bossa king supremo....)comes through with a scorcher so hot that you'll need blister cream at the ready.His version is modal jazz with an afro cuban jazz beat.The flute player,Nicola Stilo uses Coltrane esque scales whilst on keys Mirko Signorile shifts to a Bill Evans approach.The mix was completed during the recording sessions for Nicola's new album so it has the same sound and conception of it.And trust me if you hear this record and are feeling a little damp with excitement then trust me......you'll need nappies when you hear Nicola's forthcoming album not dropping till early 2004.Me ? well...I've heard it and all my trousers now have elasticated bottoms to stop any leakage.
     
    30.various - required listening volume 1 & 2 - do right - canada 12'''s
    2 great singles from John Kong's Do Right label.More styles presented over two slabs of vinyl than London Fashion week but its all good as John brings us previously unheard gems from Toronto.From hip hop to house to soul and all points in between John delivers the ''something for everyone'' strategy and comes out smelling of cherry pie.My particular favourites are Pedras da rua with Terra DoBravo & Ivana Santilli with 'what matters' but theres 7 tracks laid over 2 12's so go seek !
