The debut release from the London-based music and art collective Earnest Endeavours is B Bravo's 'Kiss 'n' Tell EP'. Cited by the likes of Dam-Funk as one of the driving forces of the West Coast Modern Funk Movement, his new wave, future funk and synth-heavy boogie comes loaded with guttural bass and sweaty, thickset grooves.
A core member of the Bay Area renegade bass collective Frite Nite, his low slung banger 'Computa Love', was nominated as one of Benji B's Best of 2009 selections on BBC 1Xtra. Simultaneously picked up by Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings, it was the lead 12" on the award-nominated 'Brownswood electr*c' compilation. Invited to 2010's Red Bull Music Academy in London, B Bravo then went on to headline and conquer the RBMA stage at Barcelona's Sonar Festival 2011.
Opening with the 140bpm RnB/bounce hybrid 'Kiss 'n' Tell' featuring Zackey Force Funk, 'Right On Time' nods to classic 80s funk jams of olde, blessed with The Gent$' smooth Chi-Town raps; 'Substance' balances weighty 808s and cute synth licks with Lady Alma's raw, Philly soul; and 'Swang' reps that smokey, talk box-laced, West Coast Cali bump to the fullest. In short, this soaring funk is the sound of an emerging artist confidently on the rise.
UPCOMING: V/A - The Original Sound Of Cumbia (SOUNDWAY)
The History of Colombian Cumbia & Porro As Told By The Phonograph 1948 - 79
'The Original Sound of Cumbia' Medley by SoundwayTo pre-order on either 3LP or 2xCD, please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Soundway set sail for Colombia once again, delving deeper into the South American country’s rich musical past. Boasting 55 tracks spread over two CDs and two triple LPs, ‘The Original Sound of Cumbia’ is Soundway’s definitive guide to the origins of Colombian cumbia and porro and the result of five years pain staking re-search by Will ‘Quantic’ Holland.
Disc 1 tells the story of some the earliest Colombian cumbia recorded, a genre that captured a nation, spreading from its birthplace on the Caribbean coast in land to central Colombia and the capital Bogota. Disc 2 sees the evolution of cumbia. Greats of Colombian music like Alberto Pacheco, Toño Fernandez & Anibal Velasquez brought the music forward, bringing new influences and instruments to the genre. What had once been considered the music of the underclasses had risen up as the new sound of a nation.
After five years of becoming slowly submerged in Colombian musical culture, learning the accordion, setting up a band and a studio, and scouring the country in search it’s recorded legacy, Will ‘Quantic’ Holland (Quantic Soul Orchestra & Quantic y su Combo Barbaro) has compiled the fruits of his labour into this unique compilation that tells the story of cumbia in the years of the phonograph record’s supremacy. Along with good friend and head of Soundway Records, Miles Cletet, Will Holland has condensed hundreds of 78s, 45s and LPs into just over two and a half hours of the finest Colombian cumbia.
Both vinyl editions come with a bonus track and are limited to 1500 copies.

Jonti - Twirligig LP (STONES THROW)
Available on LP here
Multi-instrumentalist, arranger and vocalist Jonti began assembling music after his departure from South Africa to Australia. Spending countless hours studying records like they were books, processing each song, this became Jonti’s music school, testing his theories on a 4-track recorder.
Jonti is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger and vocalist working in Australia. He has recorded with Mark Ronson, Santigold, Sean Lennon and the Dap-Kings. For Jonti’s debut album, coming this fall on Stones Throw, he went the opposite route - doing everything himself start to finish.
Although Jonti describes his music as simple, label head Peanut Butter Wolf sees it as anything but that. “I understand the pop references because his music is so catchy, but the arrangements blew me away. I couldn’t figure out how the hell he did what he did. That he did it all on his own at such an early age, I knew right away I needed to add him to the roster.” TRACK LIST 1. Hornets Nest 2. Nightshift In Blue 3. Nodlews Way Home 4. Spooky Sport 5. Koi Moons Daughter 6. Firework Spraying Moon 7. Cyclic Love feat. Otayo Dubb 8. Batmilk 9. Twirligig 10. Begone Slumber 11.
