Cuki news and views and enough links to keep ya off the streets. And if =
you seek, a competition!

Dem charts, dem boys! Dom Servini comes with a AK47? Nippon Nik comes =
with his hand grenades, Matt K comes with his tank! Cuki comes with a =
nuclear powered aircraft carrier!

But first, some delightful news! Dionne Warwick was caught with 5 =
grammes of marijuana at Miami airport! Come to Vienna Dionne, share a =
funny cigarette with Gumix or Sugar B. If ya gonna do it, do it properly =
girlie. I can't believe Dionne Warwick was caught with wacky backy in =
her bag! It must have been a plant job? One of Cuki's all time favourite =
singers with green grass stuffed below the items to declare threshold. =
Just say NO Dionne!

Shouts to Javi and the crew in Spain. Check a groovy little site each =
month on http://www.club-expansions.com Javi actually lives in London =
but can be excused for this with his warming and wonderful little site. =
Nice piece on Wagon Cooking too. =20
=20
Homelands, Hampshire, 1st and 2nd of June. Lets get it on boys and girls =
at the Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Arena. GP got his own tent? Hope it's =
bigger then the one I had at Glastonbury in 97? Anyway, Zero 7, Kruder =
& Dorfmeister, Stereotyp, yep ST brings the Rub a Dub stylee to Blighty, =
Peterson and Benji B, Gotan Project, Jazzanova, Anti Pop Consortium and =
the Cinematic Orchestra with the rocks. Check for more info on =
http://www.homelands.co.uk/pages/worldwide.asp Good luck to Benji B in =
his new job too.

So here we are? Vienna, 6 months on and Wien's famous though mostly =
absent wind is replaced by a gorgeous warmth and big orangie thing in =
the sky. Summer is here folks and Cuki getting his collection of Evisu =
tee's out for the summer session. They told me Vienna is a grey and dull =
place in the winter but Cuki found no such worries on the cold front. In =
fact, one day in January we had 20+, the thermal underwear never really =
getting a look in. (Do Evisu make Long Johns Wayne?) Yep, winter was =
good in Vienna and the summer will be better. Very little snow to =
negotiate and those always present puddles of rain 'inna' London town =
not appearing in Wien that much. When it did rain, it seemed more like =
liquid sunshine! A little help from a dear friend Martina on that front. =
Its true, rain is as good for you as is the sunshine. Maybe a change of =
environment brought this to my attention. BTW, happy birthday Cuki =
Martina. Still got a bithday bussi for ya!
One thing I learned about Vienna, is that behind its reserved and =
cautious guard, there is a friendly and inviting character. The people, =
the city, the culture, the curiosity as to why a London boy was in =
Vienna was soon replaced by a warm and genuine feeling that he was here. =
I soon realised that it was I who was actually most happy to be here. I =
learned too that crime is a fraction of what it is back in London. I =
learnt that honesty and openness is always present in a city that trusts =
you. That people share! Buy a packet of cigarettes in Vienna and you may =
only smoke five of them! No one complains. That despite this so called =
tag of being 'smoked out', Vienna is actually a very efficient city. =
Things do work, trams and trains arrive on time, planes take off as =
timetabled, cash dispensers never run out of money! Best thing though =
for the Cuki was the coffee! Man do they have great coffee in Wien. Even =
in the famous Black Market record store, you can buy a cup of choice =
java juice while headphoning yourself out of 'nuff' money. Cuki even =
found himself a great little job at the Soul Seduction distribution =
company. This where my real education happened. The music that is from =
Austria and Vienna in particular. What a myth! Yeah, you guys may jerk =
yourselves off each night on the latest sound from Kruder and =
Dorfmeister and in many cases you have every reason to play with =
yourselves silly. K&D kill it every time they twiddle a knob and you =
twiddle yours. Cuki did learn that there are others who are propping up =
the dance floors too, and the day of Darcosan, Scheibosan, Megablast and =
Shanti Roots to name a few are immanent. Only last week, did I find a =
piece of music that wouldn't be out of place on a top dog Detroit label, =
this CD even coming from one of my fellow colleagues in the Soul =
Seduction office! Yes, I learnt that apart from lots of undiscovered =
gems of the sonic source, there is a introvert nature to Viennese =
producers in general. That introvert nature is in fact prominent in all =
Viennese life. It's not a problem, in fact it's very beautiful to =
witness. I learnt too that it doesn't matter if you don't have the =
latest handy or the widest TV. And what the f**k are Evisu's! Yep, =
material things count for nothing in this city. You are not judged by =
the size of your dick or by the size of your watch, which is cool cause =
mine went AWOL back last year. Talking about the watch of course! You =
are judged by your character and charm, your charisma, your attitude and =
spirituality. Your spirituality counts for a lot here. Cool thing also =
is that there is no pressure to have the latest CD-R ting outta =
wherever, and that the DJ's are happy with the tunes in their box and =
not the ones that ain't in their box. =20
Night life, well Vienna maybe reserved but there is nuff parties going =
on and Cuki still has much to learn about all the locations. I can tell =
you though that Ziggy's Soulsugar on a Sunday night and the Dub Club at =
the Flex on a Monday night are essential spots to dance ya boots off to. =
Tuesday night we hang out with Wiener bunnies Niko and Eva at the =
Pavilion at the Volksgarten (if we get invited that is ;) Wednesday =
night, maybe a pre record for Sugar B's 'Silly Sword Sound Session' at =
the Intonation offices, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are =
reserved for the specials. This week we had Franny K, Afronaught and =
Domu, Mark Pritchard, Carl Craig, Nickodemus and Nappy G all in town. =
Shouts to the Sunshine peeps for getting that one on. Some of my buddies =
from London have been here too. It was good to see and hear Simon Goss =
(Wah Wah records) ripping it up at Soulsugar the other week. My broken =
beat boys Dominic and Orin laying down enough high hats and snares at =
the Waves thing last weekend. So all good in Vienna then! Yeah, we come =
fi tell ya 'bout the sweet rub a dub, we come fi tell ya 'bout the how =
happy Cuki is. Long may it continue.=20
Vienna! We luv ya boots!

Have a laugh and turn up the volume with
http://teste.mofra.org.br/fun/=20
http://www.metalbaby.com/home.html=20

Dr Boots prescribes the following for your forthcoming aural pleasure.=20
*Nu Bitz to chart this week

*Obe Funke - Cosmo Afrique (Karma Giraffe) 3xLP
Obe Funke, King Britt, Africa, Album, nuff said! OK then, just a few =
words. Forget 'Cosmic lounge' for a second and concentrate on the =
'Cosmic Afrique'. Forget about 'Afro Beat' for a while and get a hold of =
some 'Afro Broken Beat'. Whoever that Obe Funke fella is, hats off to =
him, while we at it, hats off to the King too. Big wink to my man in =
Philly ;)

Stereotyp- My Sound (G-Stone) 3xLP
So hear this! 'We come fi tell ya 'bout the sweet rub a dub'. 18th =
district, 21st century, the prot=E9g=E9 and time to blow the myth about =
Viennese music once and for all! ST comes with my personal favourite =
album of the year. And we know Cuki's judgement counts on this one! =
Forget two step, we finally go Ragga step! It may have missed out in =
Nippon Nik's chart but that's probably because Stefan doesn't have a =
Japanese passport. This a real true sound of creation, this a real true =
sound of revelation.=20

Stereotyp - Un Dos Tres/Silence (G Stone) 12"=20
A little story! Once upon a time at 'Bite your Granny' with the infamous =
Nik Weston. Playing back to back with Nippon Nik and Cuki's turn to put =
a tune on the deck. Coffee's classic 'Casanova' out of the box and out =
of Nippons mouth comes ''It's all over Jazzanova''. End of story and a =
bit of nu jazz folklore there for ya. Anyway, with this twelve, it =
really is all over
Jazzanova. Two 'out of this universe' tracks and one being exclusive to =
the twelve.

*Moonstar - Greed (remix)(Compost) 12"
Oh my god. Nearly two years ago at the Goya office did I come across a =
CD-R from Moonstar. I knew then that Kevin Moon's day will come and =
Compost do the right thing and get this out and about for the headz. The =
remixes take it to the next level and the big tune for Cuki at the Dub =
Club 7th birthday bash. 36 DJ's saying 'What the f**k is that". Yes sir, =
this is monster and it is music that makes me wanna be a DJ. There's =
more to come for sure, this guy just starting. Seek the excellent Dupont =
album on PIR too.=20

*Q Tip/The Abstract - Breathe & Stop 2002 (Arista) 12"
Only Q Tip could pull this off! Wacko Jacko gets the Q Tip major league =
treatment. Girls will get their kit off to this, boys will be spinning =
on their heads and everybody will be your best friend as you drop this =
absolute monster remake of 'Don't stop till you get enough'. Is it =
legit? Apparently so and my authentic looking Arista promo looks a =
million miles away from a dodgy Detroit booty.

*Jazzanova - That Night (Wah-cHU-kU remix)(JCR/Compost) 12'
Tony Wahchuku aka one half of the awesome production team Attica Blues =
comes with 10 minutes and 12 inches of pure pleasure and massive is the =
word that comes to mind. Big eighties style stuff and Tony spreading the =
sound around big big time. Yep, the saga does continue and the =
Wah-cHU-kU man and his perspective ahead of the game. Believe, this the =
sound that others will be trying to reproduce in months to come.

*Procreation - Rhythmatism EP (Compost) 12"
Jesus, this must be the Compost corner! I wouldn't mind, but I'm only =
three records into the package from Haagar St. Still got three to go! =
Anyway, one of my favourite acts on the label get another top notch EP =
out and once again it Cuki's boots losing all control. Progressive =
electronica but never losing sight of the fact that people wanna dance. =
Procreation got it, simple as that. Broken beats, Detroit, Nu Jazz! It's =
all there baby.

*Atjazz - Lab Results sampler (Mantis) 12"
Some of those well tasty unreleased remix joints from the Lab Results CD =
finally find their way onto a finger licking twelve. The shops better be =
ready for the hoards of vinyl junkies who will be on the scent of =
another classy Mantis maxi player.=20

*Vincent Montana Jr - Heavy Vibes (Temposhere) 3xLP
What is Vincent Montana Jr to you? To me, he is the man who found the =
ultimate groove. The best disco ever made, the widest sound, the =
originator of PHAT. Here we have another excellent reissue with enough =
golden moments and a few exclusive ones to remind you of a truly class =
act. Vinny Montana is simply the man that you need to follow and a =
reissue that is simply timeless. Bring on the party

*Nubian Mindz - Good Vibez (Pysan mix)(Head to Toe) 12"
004 takes it up where 001, 2 and 3 left off. Franks label gets another =
Bugz boy on the imprint, this time Scott Clifford aka Bugz in the =
Attic/Neon Phusion tweaks the knobs for another manic and broken beat =
dancefloor bomb. The Bugz got banks of Titanium's lined up and the word =
is that they are running at Warp factor speed. That man Daz on overtime =
we think.=20

*Koop - Bright nights (Rima remixes)(JCR/Compost) 12"
Yes, after a little break, we are back to the Compost corner for another =
dose of forthcoming and select releases from Bavaria. This time we =
travel many destinations to give you the finished product. We start off =
with Gothenburg's lovely Yukimi who gets it on with Magnus and Oscar in =
Stockholm. It then gets touched up or should I say rubbed up in Verona =
and Bedford by the Bedford bomber know as Domu and a man like Volcov in =
Italy. Finds its way to Munich where it receives a nice orange jacket =
and finally arrives at Bootsville to be analysed by Dr Boots. He =
prescribes that you buy on sight.

*Garsaaidi - Frank Zaffa (Sequel's 131 mix)(Compost) 12"
It's still the Compost corner!!!!!! Stop this! The Bootsville neighbours =
not happy about the loudness and heavy footsteps happening here at B =
Ville his night. "Talk to Mr Reinboth" I tell them! One my fav all time =
Compost tracks gets the 02 treatment courtesy of Zurich's Sequel posse. =
Man, I need a break from all these delights from Haagar St. Wicked =
instrumental that immediately got plunged into the box for Cuki =
adventures inna Helsinki land next week.

*DJ Jazzy Jeff - The Magnificent (BBE) CD-R
JJ long player that will have Spencer Hamilton wetting his pants. Check =
the collaboration with Jill Scott on a re make TIP of the Roy Ayers 'We =
live in Brooklyn'. This one of course called 'We live in Philly', dirty =
funk if ever I heard it. Check too the great collab with MAW with the =
killer house choon 'In time'. 17 great tracks and a bunch of class US =
acts in on the deal.=20

*V/A - In Session sampler (No Zession) 12"
That man Stefan Rogell bringing out a proper little twelve for ya all! =
Seiji's remix of Micatone finally about to see what a record shop looks =
like. It's only ever seen one of those CD holders so far. Check the flip =
for one that you may have missed too, and that is a remix that appeared =
on a Crippled Dick comp a while back, check for the Kasar and 'The =
newcomer'. These all to be on the new 'In Session' CD comp by Mr Rogell. =
A great twelve and respect to the man.

*Minus 8 - Minut (Compost) CD-R & 12"
It's back! Talking 'bout the Compost corner! OK, we had a little break =
with Jazzy J and Stefan's new joint but we well and truly back with =
another out there forthcomer from Compost records. Man, they got some =
licks coming soon. We now under the headphones too, keeping the =
neighbours at bay! The drum n bass killer that is 'A Concha De Roisa' =
will have my good buddy DJ Gumix of the Dub Club reaching for his 'Oh my =
God pills'! Yes, this one straight out of the Patife/Marky school of =
Drum n Bossa and for the happy headz. Check the album for more Bossa and =
Breaks. That was number 6 of 6. That was the Compost corner, we hope you =
enjoyed! Cuki did :)

*Tony Allen - Home Cooking (Comet) CD-R
Shit! I found this in a pile of CD's that have been here at Boostville =
for yonks. Better late then never as they say and it's OK cause it still =
ain't out we think. Tony Allen, beat keeper for Fela comes with a great =
new album. Nuff surprises including great tracks that sound like a =
meeting of Afro Beat and Hip Hop. Ty the man with that lick and check a =
spooky track with Eska, her of IG Culture and Uschi Classen fame. Of =
course, the French, the very best at getting the true sound of Africa =
out to the masses. This is a 'well serious' album and shouldn't be over =
looked. Respect to Manu and the boys.

*Manu Dibango - Soul Fiesta (Chateau Flight)(Verstaile) CD
Talkin' 'bout Africa and France! Excusive track to the new Chateau =
Flight remix album. Heavyweight is the word, and reinforcing the fine =
reputation Chateau Flight have as producers and as remixers. Get out =
your tennis rackets and play along to this boundary breaking Afro Beat =
belter. Glad to hear this will make its way onto a twelve in the near =
future too. Do check the Chateau Flight 'Remixent' album cause even if =
you got all the twelve's, you need to hear this in the context of a =
great album. Good music to have at home I can tell you. This time =
respect to Didier and Gilb-r.

*V/A - One Step Ahead 2 (Straight Ahead) 3xLP
This time we gotta give props to that man Alex Dallas in Zurich for =
getting this one on. Awesome collection of Broken beats, Phuture Funk =
and Nu Jazz, all tinged with soul, all rocking the floor. Tony from =
Attica Blues on some kind of dream pill with his productions, he is the =
man of the moment. Simone Serritella, Raw Deal, Sequel to name just a =
few coming through big time too for one of the best labels around. The =
label is called Straight Ahead and there is a very good reason way.

*Rosalia De Souza - V/A (Schema) 12"
Fez comes with some niceness. Check this girls voice! Perfectly =
complimented by Nicola Conte jazz bossa bizniz. Yeah, niceness indeed =
and Italian connection in full effect. The Baden Powell tune 'Canto de =
Ossanhia' giving me the goosebumps here at Bootsville. There's even a =
great little Drum n Bossa track 'Maria Moita' that will have Gumix =
taking note.

*KP2 - Postive Situation (ecco.chamber) 12"
Exclusive track by Eddy Ramich for the next episode of the Playground =
series on the ecco.chamber imprint out of Vienna. Along with his partner =
Dus, these two having been gaining plaudits for their groovy =
compositions and tight productions for some time now. Enough Cuki boots =
been well worn out to a tune outta Zagreb I can tell you. Check the flip =
for a hypnotic groove by Dus and the awesome Quant track 'Stimulus' too.

*Slotcatcher - Changes (Darcosan mix)(Vienna Scientists) 12"
Due sometime in the fall but 'early doors' here at Bootsville with a =
tech/broken beat stepper from DJ Darcosan. Dem boyz been listening to =
the Stereotyp action and this the first of the new wave of stepperz from =
Vienna. Classic moody dancefloor rinse and the sound of things to come =
from wonderful Wien.

*The Menheads - La Politique (Quantic remix)(Vienna Scientists) 2x12"
Nuff remix pressure of this double pack but it's the Quantic rub that =
really gets the pulse rising. This a Nu funk monster for sure and we =
hoping Speedy on the case. Will Holland lives in Brighton and this =
rocks.=20

*Shaun Esscoffery - Days like this (Danny D's back in the day =
mix)(Oyster) 12"
One sided 'ting' with a new 110 bpm rub just for the summer. Great =
voice, great song and surely just a matter of time before Shaun makes =
the big time. Just behind Spinna and Ticklah in 'who's got the best =
remix going on' but still a great version to look out for. Shouts to Big =
Ben for getting this over to sunny Bootsville.

*Puddu Varano - Blue Sky White Sand (Raw Deal mix)(Murena) 12"
Jurgen drops it, and Cuki gets on the case! Jimbo goes all disco? No, =
not really, but he does get close. Out and out Saturday night tune but =
with Raw Deal class written all over it. Big thanks to Mike at K for =
winging this one over to Wien. Though not Talkin' Loud any more, Jimbo =
still talks the loudest with every remix he touches. Raw Deal =3D Class =
Act =20

Kaidi Tatham - Feed the Cat (BB Boogie remix)(Laws of Motion) 12"=20
Anthem in a certain BMW in Vienna! Yes the P_EACE man goes home the long =
way when this is playing on his 'in car' entertainment system. You'll =
need extra springs in the seats too if you follow suit. The Boogie have =
the bounce and this a perfect remix for Kaidi's next twelve. I'm sure =
I'm not alone when I say we want a BB album! You on it Mr I-Kue. Hats =
off to Chris for sorting out Dr Boots and Mr K with a nice pressing.=20

Microfish meets Stereotyp - (?) CD-R=20
Unsigned music so get your cheque books out boys and girls! Any of you =
kool kats check out the 'Keen' twelve by Microfish on Sonar Kollektiv a =
few months back? Because if you didn't, you missed a little beauty. That =
man Stereotyp added his touch to the package too with another rough =
rider of a remix. Well, they are back again, but this time no remix, =
just a proper collaboration of two wayward minds. In the deal you get =
the Baltic sea version finished in upper Germany by Microfish and you =
get the Viennese version courtesy of Stereotyp roughing it up once again =
in the 18th district. So is it any good! Well, I'm asking myself if =
penguins have cold arses? Did we create a little interest?=20

Peace Orchestra - Reset (G-Stone) 3xLP
The P_EACE man sits proud! His prot=E9g=E9 has delivered! His remix pals =
have come through with the 'readies' too. Talking about chums like =
Jimbo, those tango boys from Paris, the Chateau Flight crew also from =
Paris, the legendary DJ DSL, the wine collector from Freiburg, the Fluid =
Ounce boys, Messer's Rutten, Meitz, Komsa to name but a few. All good at =
Casa K's then. Now you can start the next album Mr P_EACE man ;)

Swell Session meets Ernesto - Let me decide (Broken beat versions) =
(Hollow) CD-R
That bonkerony broken beat track outta Gonkyburg just got even more =
broken. Sick, sick, sick, my London flat mates taking it up a notch or =
three. Told ya a while back that the Gonkyburg crews getting it =
together. Now we seeing Plej, Jol, Ernesto, Quant featuring in charts =
all over the joint. Next level biz from the boys, seek the forthcoming =
Tribes comp for the original cut but be prepared for these new rubs =
forthcoming on Gothenburg's own independent Hollow label. Proud of my =
Swedish brothers.=20

Willie Bobo - Spanish Grease (Richard Dorfmeister & MDLA remix)(Verve) =
12"
Universal praise for this being the stand out rework on the forthcoming =
Verve remix compilation. Classic percussionist gets funked up Vienna =
stylee but the beauty of the original still intact. Dr Rich coming =
through yet again like he did with the Koop remix. And you don't need to =
roll one up to enjoy either.

Reluque Batuque - Rhythmix (Far Out) 2xLP
Concepts by 4 Hero, Fauna Flash, Big Bang, Viper Squad, Da Lata to name =
but a few, but it will be the versions from Zero dB and Osunlade that =
you will be hearing about I'm sure. Zero dB almost scale the dizzy =
heights they did with Suba and Osunlade gets warmer and warmer with each =
outing. Seek some twelve's with some serious Footie commentary too. My =
vinyl album thankfully comes minus the extravagant footie voice over.

Koichi Ozaki - In the mood (Eurasian Suite) 12"
So glad that 'In the mood' makes the first point of listening on 002. =
Modern day model nu jazz in a similar vein to the Butti 49 'Spiritual =
vibes' that appeared on the last Compost FSOJ. Eurasian 001 was paving =
the way for this the next instalment from Hiroshima and an artist to =
watch in Koichi Ozaki. We look forwards to 003

Jazzanova - Soon (Mixes)(JCR/Compost) CD-R
Jazzy Jeff and Domu rub it up in their own intimate ways. Jazzy Jeff's =
touch of jazz and Mr Stanton's no compromise broken beat belters. Too =
many Jazzanova remix projects to mention but this one along with the =
Ayro, Ian O'Brien reworks of 'Days to come' the ones to really watch out =
for.=20

Reelside - ? (Sirkus) 12"
Reelside is Domu! No info on the white but forthcoming on the Sirkus =
imprint. Maybe Rob can fill in the details for me. Anyway side A has =
Domu in Detroit disco mode while the flip has a two step mix which could =
actually be Maddslinky filling in. Another excellent Sirkus and Domu =
outing.=20

Karin Krog - Meaning of love (Herbert remix)(Crippled Dick) 12"
Matty boy with another quirky little remix job to his credit. Karin =
Krog, famous Norwegian jazz diva gets knob twiddled big time. If you =
know the original then you know Matty boy having a field day twiddling =
the knobs. Keeping the tempo down as he did with the last Cinematic =
Orchestra twelve yet still enough groove to check your feet are moving =
in the right direction. As with all Herbert remixes, no guarantee that =
those feet are moving in the direction. We dance in circles and normally =
veering to the left too

Frankie Valentine - Intro Outro (Recloose & Volcov remixes)(Sunshine) =
12"=20
Hats off to Claus at Sunshine for commissioning these two excellent =
remixes for our boy Frankie. The original makes the cut but Matt's and =
Enrico's mixes steal the show. Recloose super consistent as ever and =
some will say his best remix so far. The Volcov in his 4-4-2 formation =
takes it to a new level too! His best and most spiritual remix for sure =
I reckon. Yes, this is one very hot twelve.=20

G-Litter - V/A (Lifesaver) CD & 12"=20
TSOH? The sound of Helsinki that is! Stunning album and twelve from the =
best record shop in Finland. Check the twelve for the sweetest disco =
record of the new century. Check the flip for tasty re edit from Mika =
Snickars who runs another quality record shop, this time in Stockholm. =
We though at Bootsville getting deep with the album and we advise to =
seek all means in
getting a copy. Thanks to all in the shop for Cuki's copy.

Heal - Bubblin' (Original & Broke Tek mixes)(Key) 12"=20
Watch this! I'm telling ya now! How ****ing monster is this! Two mixes =
killing me, both gonna blow up! The Simbad and Fred McQuinn turning up =
the heat. Forget the bagels, the best thing on Brick lane is this lot. =
Yes, get your notepads out boys and girls and jot down the details. A =
consignment of nu jazz and tek funk about to hit the streets and believe =
me,
there is a lot more where this came from. Bubblin' is red hot.

John Beltran - Bota Foga (Ubiquity) 12"
Kickin' and the world cup footie hasn't even started yet. Our favourite =
label on the west coast gets hot and rhythmic with the bossa beats just =
in time for the Japanese and Korean party of world soccer. Yes, Bota =
Foga are a football team in Brazil and if they play anything like this =
record sounds then they are top of the league and winning plaudits with =
their stylish ball control, passing and dribbling. Next time I play this =
record in a club, I'm gonna throw a football on the dance floor and see =
what the effect is. It's a GOAL!

Emo - Relief for free (Butti 49 remix)(Stereo Deluxe) 12"
Stavanger takes it to the next level for Scandinavia. Seriously guys, =
get ready! Scandinavia coming with the next chapter in all vibes =
musical. The book never ends, and these pages belong to Northern Europe? =
Expect this one remix alone to make my man Snorre the hottest remixer =
around. This is sick and I'm not sure if my neighbours are complaining =
about the levels of sound or Cuki jumping up and down like a loon! Koop, =
Swell, Ernesto, Espen, Plej, Quant, Jol, NuSpirit Helsinki, all that =
stuff on the Raw Fusion label? Scandinavia is red hot and they are only =
just beginning.=20

Soulive - Clap (Blue Note) 12"=20
Black Thought, Talib Kweli both appear on this but it is Amel Larrieux =
who pinches it. So why aren't all those London soul boys charting this =
fine slice of RnB come hip hop. Er, can't actually tell ya but I'm sure =
they will in time. They just need a bit of Cuki information that's all.

? - The Moose track (Bobby Hughes Combo remix)(?) 12"
OK Cuki gonna have a bit of fun here! This is hot but I can't =
unfortunately tell you who it is. Some bloke on the organ got the hump =
and it's not gonna be official. Only a few hundred pressed so seek. Is =
it a sheep or is it a mousse? Who cares, all we know is that it is hot. =
Some label with a top notch geezer at the controls and some wicked =
releases in the pipeline. I
reckon Chich would dance to this if only I could lift her from her =
Cherry juice=20

This weeks Java Joint
So if you got this far, you could win some 'ting' nice.
Cuki got volume 5 of the Java Joint series done and first five correct =
answers get a copy! The question after this weeks Java Joint
Earl & Carl Grubbs (The Visitors)
'Neptune' Muse MR 5195 (1980)
The album was actually recorded in 1971 and my original copy is in a =
lock up in Windsor. This though a Muse 1980 reissue and still well worth =
seeking. The Grubbs used to hang out with Naima Coltrane and would very =
often hear Big John practising in another room. This enough for them to =
get out their horns and follow suite. Their first album and their best. =
Neptune a spiritual journey worthy of Coltrane himself. Excellent =
version of Naima which sounds very close to the cover that 4 Hero did =
for the 'Good Good' a while back. The Visitors were highly underrated =
and those who don't know of them need to seek this joint.=20
Question: The Grubbs bros played Saxophones! What Saxophone did Earl =
play and what Sax did Carl play?!=20
