Acid Jazz Archive: [acid-jazz] Fwd NIK WESTON -MUKATSUKU CHART 14.10.2002-includes Patrick Forge Kiss Fm playlist 14.10.2002

Nicola Conte is the Nu Bossa King Supremo.No one can touch him in this area as he continues to churn out jewell after jewell of Brazilian influenced monsters...... always beautiful piano lines running through the mix.Look out for his forthcoming remix on Japanese DJ/Producer Tatsuo Sunaga's track 'No Reason,No Rhyme'on from Konishi's label for a japanese only release.If its anything like the 'Its You' remix he did then we're in for a treat with a capital T !!...This mix of Bobby Hughes with its gently nudging saxophone lines and killer bossa keys is very jazzy but so good I get goose pimples on every play.Beautiful stuff.

Japanese Double album (with 4 extra tracks on cd version ! )compiled by Nik Weston(er....thats me ! ) which has some better known Japanese producers rubbing shouldors with some lessa known beauties.Ken Ishii goes detroit,Organ Language & Yukuhiro Fukutomi go broken beat,Bird's instrumental is string heaven and Gagle hit us with some jazzy hipity Hop.Theres the Earth,Wind & Fire'Cant Hide Love'remix by Maswters At Elsewhere Mondo Grosso team up with Ellen Mcllwaine for an almost 2 step floorfiller and theres beautiful tracks from UFO (Takemura remix/Osunlade remix)and a great 4 Hero mix from experimental band Shakkazombie.Hopefully....Something for everything !

18 tracks on a triple vinyl and solid musical fodder.Respect to compiler Alan Brown as the compilation has more winners than six months of weekly Lotto.Best of the bunch ?....The list is long.....Dapp from Detroit,Hird from Gothenburg,G Litter from Helsinki,Plej from Gothenburg (and soon come on a 12 from our own Exceptional Records imprint)Cuica & Jimpster from London,Bobby Hughes,Koichi Ozaki from Japan,Deejedies from Moscow,Cybajazz from Belgium,Emo from Nurnberg via Copenhagen & Stavanger,Jong From Gothenburg & Stereotyp from Vienna.Essential.

Double album finally with us from Norway via influences of Brazil,Cuba& the rest of Europe.Great sleeve.Great record.Respect to Oli .This ones for you.

presume at some point this will recieve a vinyl release but for now 5 track cd with mixes of mind expansions by blaze and an afronaught mix of eclipse both of which add further dimensions to classic kjm tracks.

A voice made in heaven to bring tingles down your spine.Marvin for 2003 ?A classic album.Believe.

Stonking afro tastic release on french label.great mix from nu tropic on every season too.

nicest man in london finally sees his 12 released on swiss label.jazzual lovelyness

Limited jazzy hip hop double lp of instrumentals so phat that they feature an obesse warning on the sleeve .The band are from the north of Japan and theses are seriously limited.Catch it at Mr Bongo's in Poland Street for next two weeks only.

7 inch single (only 800 pressed ! )and with 'heartbeat ' on the flipside this was only ever released on an album.fantastic.essential.jazz classic.

13.Roslia De Souza -Apresenta - Schema - Italy - cd
Great 13 track long player from Nicola Conte vocalist Rosalia De Souza.Bossa Business supreme.We need da vinyl.

Japanese band gets remixed.one mix in particular sounds particularly great on the floor called the Skarada dub which is paul murphy and marc woolford.....afro art ? afro tastic.

The label had a name change from Climate and is now called Mumo.This is the second in the series (volume 1 was fantastic !!!!!!! )this time compiled by Mike Chadwick and it gets Jimbo Raw Deal and Rainer Truby's vote with big support.More gems than a Hatton Garden Jewellers as the likes of The Brooklyn Soulboys rub shouldors with Patricia Marx,Paula Lima,Ufo,Quant,Agent K,Neon Phusion,Da Lata,Osunlade,Wai Wan & Ed Motta.Check out the brand new club session named strangely enough.......Music & Movement at The Fridge Bar in Brixton starting Tuesday 15th October with my lovely self (ahem...)Mike Chadwick & the gorgeous Helen Mayhew from Jazz Fm

17.Various - Creative Musicians - Perfect Toy cd- German
Fantastic compilation of long lost funk n ' jazz gems compiled by Florian Keller from Munich on Marcus Hacker ex of Spinning Wheel...new label.If you like your funk the nosebleed variety then this is for you.

11.Fantastic album of jazz reinterpretations of material from the back catalogue of INFRACom ! records.very beautiful and very special.eric truffaz,nathan haines,til bronner and many more guests contribute to make this a timeless classic.

only got two releases on this label but i they are both great.this is the latest one...nice remix by kool bavaria whoever they are.nice jazzy rumblings

20.Slope/Paul Kuhn -Revisited series *3 - Crippled Dick Hot wax - Germany
New 12 'gateway to crime' from Paul Kuhn.Enourmous jazz.

Great sleeve (its so important ! )and it sounds great too.Nuff dj support from cdr all over europe and now we got da vinyl.Essential.

Bit spooky this.Had a call from usa from Julie Dexter last week and then the following day this pops through the post from France.Tom hooks up with Julie as opposed to Joyce and its great.

24.various - good good - 2000 black
great compilation of dego's label output.worth checking the cd version with past singles not included on this vinyl version and a wicked track by volcov which is truely inspiring....not too sure about the 2000 black merchandise...think dego's showing off his football obsession !...mind you it adds a touch of humour to a sometimes 'too serious' scene.tuff beats aplenty

Havent been into all these 12s on the Africanism series but this is definetly one of the superior ones,this time produced by Sumo which is a good a reason for me to chart if any !

26.Jazztronik - Rita - Especial Distribution/Aloha- Japan
Long time come.Nuff requests but Im pleased to say its here at last.Ryota Nozaki goes for a bossa track of the epic variety and delivers the goods once more to everyones deep joy.Thick sleeve.Heavyweight ,beautifully mastered vinyl.Just how we like it.Limited copies in the shops.....

27.Force of Nature - Forces of Nature - Dimid Recordings - Japan
Superb Double vinyl album which is so strong that its practically got a six pack .Cast iron production and 3 years in the making.Its all about the beats.........only 200 copies pressed on vinyl.On your marks....get set.....GO ! check the track on Moshi Moshi for inspiration...

27.DJ DSL - +1 - g stone - austria
as trippy hip hoppy and dubby beats driven chilled triple albums go this is the don dadda.The icing on the cake.Double drums is a bonefide classic but this is not a one horse race as the whole album proves.Light a fat one and enjoy.This gets better on each play and nuff interest from the inquisitive dancefloor.

28.nicola conte - jet sounds re visited vol 2 - schema italy
one of the best labels outta italy comes through with another bunch of remixes.eddy & dus,koop,gerardo frisina and a great nu spirit of helsinki is a particular favourite.

Mindset dub.but check the vocal.sweeter than a Caburys Milktray family selection.

jesus....this is too good.New Album from dem lovely boys from Osaka,The Okino Brothers ...Vanessa Freeman.Maiya James.Chris Franck & Guida de Palma.Victor Davies and Hajime Yoshizawa all help to make this an album of the year contender fa sure.The Maiya James track 'Mind Expansions' in particular is massive.solid stuff.so happy to have on vinyl.Also check the quantic mix of 'the brightness of these days' which is going to be a forthcoming single.marvelous.Sleeve is fab too.
