Rise Up

Perhaps the definition of the sultry genre of 'rare-groove' is 'Give Me The Sunshine', a shimmering jazz-funk earworm that will brighten even your worst day. Cut from the short-lived American soul band Leo's Sunshipp's 1978 debut album, the flip tune is an alluring soul club cut that's just as hot!

BIG Strut reissue of Patrice Rushen's Elektra debut, the 1978 classic 'Patrice'. Not just a brilliant pianist, songwriter and arranger from a young age, Rushen took lead vocal reigns for the first time here with her heartfelt and vulnerable messages of hope and love. Elektra didn’t fully back her until the early ‘80s, but influential clubs and black radio DJs saw her unique talent and were constant supporters. This reissue features bonus 12” versions of the big singles ‘Hang It Up!’ and ‘Play’, the popular Danny Krivit re-edit of ‘Music Of The Earth’ and a previously unreleased version of ‘Didn’t You Know’ from the original session tapes.

A PPU follower's favourite, this much requested 7" release of this CULT boogie funk release. Includes the newly remastered 1983 7" version of "Danger Zone" and Robbie M's "I Need Good Lovin" from 1989!

A top-notch Balearic version of a Yugoslavian soul jazz/AOR classic from 1987, edited into a late-night monster. Definitely conjures Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" in its tone. Tip!!

Smooth jazz release from Ralph McDonald featuring all-time greats Bill Withers, Stave Gadd, Grover Washington Jnr, and Eric Gale. At the time it was the highest-selling jazz album - ever!

Wrapped in soul, blending poetry and polyrhythms, the music of Melbourne's Hiatus Kaiyote is in a lane all by itself. The 18-track, 70-minute odyssey takes listeners on a journey through the group's self-created ecosystem, populated with songs each embodying its own mini-cinematic sonic soundscape.
