The Funkees
Dancing Time

Sudi Wachspress AKA Space Ghost has been on an absolute tear lately, dropping the outstanding Dance Planet LP on Tartelet last year and following it up with Private Paradise on Pacific Rhythm earlier this year. Rewinding the clock a little, this time he takes up back to Dance Planet for a remix package. Five biggies of squeaky-clean, deep, bouncy, digi-dub goodness. Come on a wicked pink marbled vinyl!

Massive reissue of a holy-grail 70s Brazilian LP. A little something for everyone, including Brazilian popular music (MPB), regional folk, soul and funk. Di Melo was a criminally under-recorded Brazilian singer, songwriter, painter and poet. If he had released more, he'd have been as celebrated as Jorge Ben...

This collection of ’70s rhythmic gospel rarities doesn’t feel like Gospel in the traditional sense. These working musicians were deeply entwined with the funky, soulful sounds of their time. The tracks are a subset of 1970s-era Gospel, not directly talking about Jesus or God, but instead tackling how we live with ourselves and each other. Compiled by Gospel guru Greg Belson, these are undeniably soulful, passionate, and urgent songs long forgotten on obscure 45s and rescued from attics and sheds across the American south. Incredible release!

Official reissue of this incredible 1979 LP by the Nigerian funk titan. Harry Mosco is best known as the leader of the Afro/Funk band The Funkees, which started as an Army band responding to the Nigerian Civil War with upbeat music but has since grown to global acclaim and deep hip-hop sampling. Since his passing in 2012, Isle Of Jura Records worked closely with his son to reach back 40 years for this undiscovered gem of Disco, Funk, Boogie, Soul and Dub. Essential reissue!
