Cuki chart, playlists, news!
02.09.01 Week 35
Many thanks to MK Ultra for his wonderful hospitality last
weekend at Charterhouse Bar. Not sure what was in the
cranberry juice that he was giving me but sure did taste nice.
Nigel 'MK Ultra' Samuel one of my favourite geezers on the
scene. Nuff good records in his box, nuff quality grease in his
hair! Check the MK Ultra's Top 5 Haircare Products as not
worn by the Cuki.
1. Elasta QP Glaze
This has been @ No.1 for ages and looks like staying
there for some time to come. If you've ever wondered
what it's like to have hair that looks like Freshly pressed
vinyl, then this is the product for you. As it says on the tub
DA BRILLO Y DEFINE, that's right It shines and defines
and unlike vinyl there's no problem with static cling.
Nuff said.
2. Sulphur 8 (MEDICATED)
Hailing from Memphis and Straight in @ No.2. is Sulphur 8.
Don't go for the Blue Mix but seek out the original version
in all it's yellow glory. Make sure it's the one with
MEDICATED in bold on the cover. This kicks dandruff
into touch and also leaves hair feeling soft and moisturised,
so this product is guaranteed to leave you blues free.
3. Optimum Oil Sheen & Conditioner
This ones from the windy city, but that won't be a problem
with this finishing sheen with it's mix of unique Nutrients
for hair and scalp. Its leaves your hair moist and in place
and don't be too surprised if Barry (White) uses this one.
Use Sparingly and mind the drips.
4. Lusters Pink Oil Moisturiser
Don't let the Pink packaging fool you, this mutha packs
a mean punch and is sure to climb higher in the chart.
This protects, conditions and restores natural oils and
moisture to hair, which is just what a working DJ needs
after a night in a hot sweaty hair sapping venue.
5. At one with nature-Shampoo
This version is also Known as "the Tingler" due to the
unique tingling sensation one feels when using it. It's
cleans and leaves hair feeling fresh and invigorated
with its combination of herbs and minerals. I got mine
on Promo but should be available nationwide.
WARNING-Watch out for high flying cigarettes when
wearing any of these products in Clubs ,as they all
contain highly flammable chemicals which would
see you go up like a human torch if ignited. That said,
they're relatively harmless unless taken internally,
which may also be slightly unpleasant. MK ULTRA

#### #### This weeks chart (* New Entry) #### ####
1. 4 Hero - 'Sampler' (Talkin Loud) 12"
It just gets better! Dollis Hill or Heaven! I'll take Dollis
Hill. Another day, Hold it down, Blank Cells and
Twothesame seeing quality time on the 1200's. This
probably never seeing a commercial release so hunt
down the sampler twelve before the album drops in
mid October. 4 Hero taking the top two slots. Yep you
the album will be number 1. In its on time though.
2. 4 Hero - Les Fleur (Talkin Loud) 12"
Well, you know what be big fans we are of Dego
and Marc. You know we never miss out on a remix
or a production in any of their guises. This though is
something very very special! One of the most beautiful
tracks every composed gets the utmost respect from
these guys! If you ever wanted a Stepney production
to be reborn in the 21st century, you ask 4 Hero. Check
for 9 by 9 track on the flip that won't be appearing on the
album. Unless of course you live in Japan!
3*. Gotan Project - La Revancha del tanga (Ya basta) 2xLP
We got the album! 10 glorious tracks from the streets of
gay Paris. Those who got off on 'El Capitalismo' and
'Triptico' know what to expect, others are in for a treat
off the Richter scale. Do not over look this album when
it hits the streets. We're talking classic here.
4*. Chateau Flight - Autopower (Peter Kruder remix)(Versatile) 12"
I:Cube, Gilb-R, Osulande, Peter Kruder all on one twelve!
Then you know this has gotta be good especially the
remix by Peter Kruder. Paris via Vienna sounds like
a pretty good sound clash to me. In a 'Voom Voom'
stylee.
5. Jimpster - Deep Down (Kudos) 12"
12.20am! Red car approaching Big Ben! Me and the
kid from Gothenburg! Plastic People here we come.
Shaker sound followed by conga groove! The kid from
Gothenburg, he informs the Cuki to listen out! The red
car speeds, slick gear changes, volume control on the
column on the up! Warm Rhodes, shaker still sounding
good, vocoder enters! A whisper about being 'deep
down'! Plastic People can wait, we go the long way round.
Chadwick informs us, but we already know! Red car
speeds off into the distant night! Me and the kid from
Gothenburg. Respect to the Jimpster for the 12"!
6. V/A - Organic Soul (Soul Brother) 2xLP
Respect to Soul Brother for getting on this. Laurnea,
N'dambi, Ledisi and Karen Bernod, some of the new
breed of outstanding vocal talent gets another mention
through this wonderful compilation. Most of the tracks
only ever seeing the dreaded CD format. Nice to get
this stuff on the vinyl front and will be in the box for
'Granny' for many a month.
7. Michelle Shaprow - If I lost you (Scuba mix)(Warner Bros) 12"
It's a Scuba mix, do I have to tell you more! No, I didn't
think so! You hold these record by the edges, you put
them back in their proper sleeves, the proper way in too!
King Britt...... the man, Scuba trip........ the ultimate dance
floor experience!
8*. Yeterdays New Quintet - 'Album' CD & 7"
Stripped naked of all unessentials. Rhodes, Wurlies,
Vibes and the best Drum kit out there left to take you
on this sparse but intimate journey. Hip Hop or Jazz?
Who cares! The Invazion has started. It started out west.
Be ready. The album, awsome! Versions of 'Sun
Goddess' and 'Daylight'
9. Asheru & Blue Black - Elevator Music (Seven Heads) 12"
Without a doubt my favourite piece of hip hop of recent
times! Asheru & Blue Black of Unspoken Heard fame
come with those warm jazzy vibes, mucho educated
lyrics and hypnotic beats. Holding tight for a forthcoming
album too. Dego gotta be feeling this one!
10. Albin Janoska - Lem (Klein) 12"
How we love the spooky sound tracks! Spooky 'boots'
going to Vienna and looking forwards to more from the
'Small' label in Wien. Proper left field hip hop from a new
talent on the final part of the 'Sincerely yours' showcase.
Do check out the first four releases too! Mid October the
release date and I'll be drinking proper coffee in my new
home town by then.
11. Mondo Grosso - MG4R (Sony) 3xLP
Remix album featuring Tania Maria getting two step
treatment from the Wideboys and Amel Larreriux getting
slightly more subtle treatment from the Ananda Project.
Blaze and Da Lata adding the list of top draw remixers.
Excellent remix project! And didn't Nik get all excited
about having the vinyl. We got it too bro.
12*. Incognito - Come a day (Para:Diso mix)(Talkin Loud) 2x12"
Vikter Duplaix , 4 Hero, Ski all on the remix tip for the
new album. I'm plumbing for the Venom/Bluey own
remix of 'Come a day' which had the train spotters out
with their note book and pens at Granny last week.
13. Afro Force - Goza (2000 Black) 12"
The record with two catalogue numbers! First heard
in Dub form on the 'Phuturistc dancin' comp outta Bitasuite
now we get the original lick through Dego's '2000 Black'.
There must have been some mad puff going on that night!
14. Jombo Life Pt 2 - Aquarius (Clairaudience) 12"
Another quality release from Clairaudience. Always on the
spiritual tip but still taking it to the dance floor. Main mix with
a slightly west London feel, crisp drums, quality keys and
some gorgeous chick given me the Aquarius vocal ride.
Well if she looks like she sounds!
15. Koichi Ozaki - I find what I need (Edge) 12"
Outta Hiroshima. Shin scratching rhythms, take note pianos
giving this music a real twist. As always from the land of the
rising sun, you get tip top production and arrangements.
Looking forwards to more music from Koichi in the near future.
16. Beatless - Love from the sun (Ubiquity) 12"
Second twelve from the forthcoming album. This one a bit
spesh too. 'Love from the sun' one of my favourite fusion
tunes gets the 21st century rub. Special guests in the form of
Jeanne and Chache, aka vocalists with the 'Sons and
Daughters of Life' give the track the ultimate blessing.
A-Side worth investigating too. Title track from the
forthcoming album with a remix by yes you guessed it!
Opaque aka Seiji. Does this man ever sleep?
17. Nero - Darkest days (JCR) 12"
Back in 98 a tasty little seven appeared on the scene with
a infectious little melancholic bossa beat. Nice to see
Compost picked it up and are giving it a properly release
with a full peak and moontime remix action from Restless
Soul. Original cut will probably do it the most but expect to
hear one of Phil's mixes on a dance floor near you very soon.
18. Atjazz - BC (Phil Parnell mix)(Mantis) 12"
Loving the twisted mix of this tune. Phil Parnell I know from
some Lifeline bizniz outta Herbert territory. Ta to Alex for the
update on the artist.
19. Plutonia - What you know (Visions) 12"
What you know? What I know is this should come with a
government health warning about getting sore feet!
Dance your boots off baby! More manic west London
soundclashes, this time Dego and Alex with the collabration.
Check for the excellent 'Opaque' remix of 'Forever' on the flip.
20. V/A - Omoa music sampler (Omoa) 12"
Recloose and buddies bring it on! New music from
Detroit, music to butterbuns and all! The twelve has
a seal that it invites you to go ahead and open! As if
I need inviting! My gruppy little hands sweating with
excitement as the needle hits the various grooves.
And this just the start. My buns well and truly buttered.
I suggest you seek and enjoy the same experience.
21. Enola 5 - Moonlighting (Cooker) 12"
Ta to the Weston for this one! The main man mailing
out enough goodies at the mo! Been in the CD-R
collection for some time but we finally get vinyl and we
certainly feel the need to re chart and support. Solid
beats throughout this three tracker
22. Los Landrones - Montana Rusa (Earth Project) CD-R & 12"
True percussion, true progression. Earth Project come
with the real deal in this super solid long player. Authentic
music in a superficial world is a hard come by thing but this
delivers. Get ready for the single that will precede the album.
Ta to Noah and Felix for the up front.
23. Reunion - Eona (Remixes)(Dialog) 12"
This chart is full of Jamie 'Jimpster' and Seiji 'Opaque '
mixes! Respect to both producers for adding their
fingerprints to Sonar Kollektiv artist Reunion classic 'Eona'
24. Ursula Rucker - Supasista (K7) CD-R
Philli poetess/goddess comes with her debut via K7
recordings. She gets to sing on here too but its the
narration with soul that we love her for the most. The
best spoken worder on the planet? Yep, I reckon.
25. Jackson 5 - Get it together (4 Hero remix)(Motown) CD
4 Hero in the more of a Tek 9 guise than '9 by 9' one!
The best remix from the second part this Japanese
collection. Whatever 4 Hero touch, be it drum n bass,
hip hop, broken beat, they are the dons! I need vinyl!
26. Kitty Winter & Gipsy Nova - Feel It (Spinning Wheel) 1xLP
Old album and one that has been missing from my
collection for far to long! But thanks to the guys at
Spinning Wheel this will see a worthy reissue in October!
We know about tracks such as 'New Morning' and 'Mato
Pato' but the rest of the album is a beautiful listening
experience too.
27. Victor Davis - Sound of the Samba (JCR) 12"
When skies are grey and troubles arrive. Escape
to the sound of the samba. I'm sure you all know
about Victors credentials! His wonderful song writing,
his beautiful and soothing musicianship, his ability to
touch ,heal, calm! His voice, his gentleness. It will be
impossible for this man to ever make a bad song.
Hold tight for a stunning album outta Haagar St too.
28. Space Clique - Continue the journey(CB mix)(Spinning Wheel) 12"
One of my favourite tracks from the excellent 'Bogaloo'
compilation gets the fractured funk rework! Check for
the 'Celestial boogie' mix early next month outta southern
Germany of course.
29. Butti 49 - Spiritual Rotation (?) CD-R
This unreleased track getting props everywhere. And
deservedly so, modern day model bizniz for the headz
So come we hope in any finsihed format. Norway got the
jazz lick.
30. Sunaga T Experience - Chitose Airport (Flower) 12"
Good vibrations with this twelve! Flip has a decent 'Swag'
remix of CA but the original cuts the mustard with Cuki.
On the Japanese 'Flower' imprint so expect to pay a
small fortune for this!
#### #### Coffee Compliment #### ####
Bobby Lyle - New Warrior
Capitol SW-11809 (1978)
Great fusion album produced by Wayne Henderson.
Most folks know about Bobby's 'The Genie' album
but this is every bit as good and to some including me
more consistent. Bobby who was a very underrated
keyboard player could do it with the best. Harvey
Mason, Paulinho Da Costa, Nathaniel Phillips adding
to the list of quality players. Check for tracks like 'Inner
space', 'Star traveller', New warrior'. Fusion album
from the top drawer.
