Stunning early 90s queer synth-pop from the late Oakland-native multi-instrumentalist and soul singer. Numero has compiled 9 lengthy and dreamy songs from his 2 barely released albums centring on his surrounding social issues and his cries for acceptance. Urgent as ever - queer music at its finest!
HUGE reissue of a rare 1994 gem from Larry Heard's extensive back catalogue. Excluding 3 house cuts, the album detours from Heard's previous sound into blissed-out downtempo soundscapes that are exquisitely detailed, beautifully sensitive and emotionally charged. All killer... Tip!!
The first-ever official compilation of in-demand reggae/disco singles of Risco Connection between 1979 and 1980. Cut loud for the DJs and includes a new interview with Joe Isaacs (Studio 1 in-house drummer). HUGE release, just for 'It's My House' alone...
Killer strut reissue of Patrice Rushen 1984 influential classic and final release on Elektra. Released after the global success of ‘Straight From The Heart’, ‘Now’ stripped back the arrangements and explored a new sonic palette. Patrice had built a home studio and was playing with synths and drum machines, forming demos to then layer on all the legendary musicians she corralled in this era. All original artwork remains and it features vocal and instrumental 12” versions of the album’s singles ‘Get Off’ and ‘Feels So Real’. Also includes rare photos and a new interview with Patrice Rushen. Essential.
On Struts' behalf, Honolulu’s finest reissue label Aloha Got Soul has picked out a collection of 16 shimmering gems from the late ’70s and early ’80s as the island consumed and reworked the soul and disco sounds drifting over the Pacific from the United States. Major reccomendation!
