Soundway Records re-issue of the massively in-demand Soca cover version of Sade's classic cut "Sweetest Taboo" by Caribbean band Rebels from 1986. In the late 80s, as electronic music permeated popular culture, Rebles helped define the soca genre outside of the Caribbean. The group were the 1980s house band for mega NYC-based Caribbean label, Strakers Records, who released hundreds of Calypso and Soca tracks from 1970 to 2000. HUGE ONE!

Iconic Italo dance label Best Record pulls out some peak disco across two sensual floor-fillers. Italian musician Giampiero Scalamonga was a popular disco hitmaker through the 70s, but his 1979 'Body To Body' LP was his crown jewel. The A-side is hot boogie full of synth, funky bass and Nile Rogers-esque guitar, and on the flip, 'African Love Song' (a Studio 54 staple) is a huge club burner, full of strings, horns and lustful crooning. Heat!
'More Energy Fields, Current' is another high point in the recorded continuum of prolific producer/percussionist Carlos Niño. Featuring heavy contributions from many of the most exciting ambient and jazz instrumentalists in the creative constellation of Los Angeles (of which Niño’s has been central for over 2 decades), the album holds 10 crystaline pieces of collaborative communication; elegantly presented in his unique “Spiritual, Improvisational, Space Collage” style. Nińo makes albums that need to be absorbed in one sitting (or preferably lying down), as each piece carries you through one portal to the next, before safely being set back down where it all began. YES.
Remastered re-release of Soul Jazz Records seminal Arthur Russell compilation across three heavy vinyls. Featuring beloved solo and group tracks from Dinosaur L and Loose Joints, it also holds rare 7" tracks and edits from Larry Levan, Françcois Kervorkian and Walter Gibbons. An incomporable artist, this is totally essential release!
