V/A - Riddim Box (Soul Jazz)

Written By 3 - October 30 2010

Available on 2xCD here, 2LP Vol. 1 here & 2LP Vol. 2 here

Soul Jazz continues its travels through contemporary UK underground dance music (Box of Dub, Steppers Delight, Future Bass) with 'Riddim Box' a new compilation of the most unique, left-field and innovative UK Funky releases of the recent past mixing together Grime, House, Dubstep, Dancehall and R and B to stunning effect.

'Riddim Box' brings together some of the most innovative artists and creative UK producers with this stellar selection of twisted left-field tracks from celebrated names such as Shystie, Kode9, Crazy Cousins alongside exclusive cuts from LV, Grievous Angel and more.

With its roots in the UK Garage scene and emerging out of the union of Dubstep and House, UK Funky draws a line from the original sounds of jungle and drum and bass and dancehall through to the newer UK dance music variants such as Grime, Dubstep and 2-Step.

The album is available as a double-CD in heavy-duty casing as well as two heavyweight volumes of super-loud double-vinyl. VINYL - VOLUME 1 A1. Altered Natives - Rass Out A2. MJ Cole - Volcano Riddim A3. NB Funky - Riddim Box B1. Tubby T - Ready She Ready (Seiji Remix) B2. Sunship featuring Warrior Queen - Almighty Father (Solid Groove Remix) C1.

New tees from Sedgwick & Cedar...

Available Here

Based in New York, Sedgwick & Cedar celebrates innovation and creativity across multiple cultures. Originally formed as a way to celebrate Hip Hopâ€™s earliest roots, the company has branched out to capture the excitement and relentless creativity found in emerging genres of the 1970s, 1980s New York.

At the tail end of summer, on August 11, 1973, neighborhood kids crowded into a small rec room at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx to hear DJ Kool Herc spin. Eventually it got too packed to move, and the party headed down the block to Cedar Park. On that epic night Hip Hop culture was born. The Sedgwick & Cedar brand celebrates this humble birthplace and creative spirit. We pay homage to the genre, culture and innovation of the movement through exclusive designs that deliver history in every stitch.

Sedgwick & Cedar gives back to the often overlooked founders of the movement by providing royalties from S&C proceeds. Pioneers behind the brand include such legends as DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Wizzard Theodore, Coke La Rock, Sha-Rock, Melle Mel and Chief Rocker Busy Bee.

Various - Salsa Explosion! (STRUT)

Written By 3 - October 27 2010

Available on CD here and 2LP here

Tagged "the Latin Motown", Fania is perhaps most famous for its recordings during the coming of age of salsa from the late 60's to the late 70's, when Latin (often Cuban) dance formats like rumba, guaracha, mambo, son and cha cha fused with big band American jazz and the gritty punch of US R&B in the unique melting pot of New York.

Strut begin their programme of Fania albums with a series entitled Fania Essential Recordings, tracing the development of the many genres featured on the label from Latin soul to boogaloo to descarga. The first instalment, 'Salsa Explosion', provides a handy introduction to the classic Fania sound through some of the label's major artists including Celia Cruz, Mongo Santamaria, Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto and the Daddy of the Fania family, Johnny Pacheco.
