well, the one i was talking about is 'blueboy ep' on new breed records,
matrix # nbr-012. that's more like soulful jazzy house. maybe it's
just only one release which sounds more like house than acid-jazz.
i got the whole new breed back catalogue listing in my hard disk.

sorry, my mistake. i got mixed those two names together and forgot
original one. :)

well, that's kind of personal thing. i do respect hard working labels
without commercial status. if they're doing well after few years time,
it's good for them. like new breed (they've been doing cds quite much
recently) they've started to putting out 12" releases and i hardly
don't believe that they could sell over 10.000 copies per each release.
total quantity per each release might be under 5.000 copies. is that
kind of commercialism ? if they're putting out good vibes and they're
working hard, they really earn people's respects ! ... and at least
music itself is the thang we should give our hearts for, no matter
is it commercialized or not.

basically i'm looking for mostly original releases. i don't like
compilations etc. that much especially when labels are putting out their
compilations mostly on cd.

btw. would you like sort me out with one tape ? :)
(i know, i'm the nasty beggar ...)

peace out,
