West London's Daz-I-Kue & Kaidi Tatham rework Cape Town's Afro-fusion
killer, 'The Way It Used To Be', into an irrepressible, ultra-phat,
dancefloor bomb. Contrasted with the original + exclusive track.
'Rough and rugged broken beats meats Africa.'
Seven magazine: 'Essential for jazz heads nu and old.'
Jockey Slut: 'irrepressible dancefloor outing'.
DJ: 'off beat genius and rough bassline know-how to create a feet shuffling
monster.'
Coming soon:
Various 'Disco Juice Vol.2' (2xLP/ 1xCD)
The follow up to the highly acclaimed first volume, once again compiled by
top 12" dealer/dj Nick the Record, who digs deep into Harlem's legendary P&P
label to unearth a goldmine of undiscovered raw disco nuggets, alongside
some heavily sought after soul & boogie gems + the best of Harlem's old
skool rap cuts- sounding fresh & funky for 2002.
Fertile Ground 'Seasons Change' (2xLP/1 xCD)
This is the year when the whole wide world is gonna wakes up to the 100%
naturaly organic soul food that is Fertile Ground! After a long wait, their
eagerly anticipated third album, 'Seasons Change' will be released in May to
coincide with their return visit to the UK and other European destinations.
Maintaining the high standard set by 'Perception', the new album will
comprise entirely of original music (that means: no sampling or second-rate
cover versions) which is thankfuly free of the cliches that plague so much
new music. Expect to hear some of the sweetest cosmic soul since Stevie &
Syreeta's 'Mowest' debut; some 'Dirty Dozen' brass funk; and a generous
portion of Afro-Latin-soul-jazz; then add unique and heavenly voice of
Navasha Daya. A true gift from the Gods..
