Dam-Funk - Toeachizown 2 x CD (Stonesthrow)

Written By 3 - November 06 2009

Dam-Funk - Toeachizown 2 x CD (Stonesthrow)

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dãm-Funk represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere. Headquartered in the Leimert Park section of L.A., Dãm (pronounced: 'Dame' as in Damon) spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-'80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk.

As a DJ/selector, Dãm attracts the most discerning Boogie Funk afficionados within driving distance of his storied Monday-night Funkmosphere parties. But it's not just collectors at the bar toasting to the melodic sounds. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince, Prelude Records and the like, will get a dose of those groups' unknown contemporaries – more obscure but equally Funk-worthy.

The next phase of the Ambassador's mission is his debut album Toeachizown: continuing the classic West Coast tradition into today's scene with Dãm's own original "Modern-Funk" compositions. By plugging in his arsenal of vintage synths and drum machines, Dãm channels the galactic harmonies of his inspiration into his own brand of new boogie. Stones Throw Records' like-minded honcho Peanut Butter Wolf brought Dãm on to the team to glide into the future with his unique, synth and bass-driven vibe. It's a promising new chapter for Southern Cali space funk.

Jah Wobble - Get Carter 10" (Pressure Sounds)

Written By 3 - November 03 2009

Jah Wobble - Get Carter 10" (Pressure Sounds)

Jah Wobble was the original bass player in the greatest ever incarnation of PIL (Public Image Limited) and has subsequently recorded with everyone from Pharaoh Sanders, Can, Bill Laswell and his own group Invaders of the Heart. The first release by Jah Wobble on Pressure Sounds showcases two superb new cuts of the ‘Get Carter’ theme from the cult film of the same name - it's a re-working of the theme to this great British film which was directed by Mike Hodges and originally released in 1971. Recorded with tablas and with additional music by Clive Bell and Sylvia Hallet this is a bass heavy floor shaker that will seriously disturb your speakers!

Tracklisting:

1 Jah Wobble Get Carter clip

Side A: Get Carter Side B: Get Carter Version (Cliff Brumby Mix)

Get it here

The first release by Jah Wobble on Pressure Sounds showcases two superb new cuts of the ‘Get Carter’ theme from the cult film of the same name. The original music was written by Roy Budd and has become synonymous with Michael Caine as the character ‘Jack Carter’ on a train journey home as it plays over the opening sequence.  Our release is a re-working of the theme to this great British film which was directed by Mike Hodges and originally released in 1971. We are proud to present two new heavyweight versions on a special 10" vinyl recorded by Jah Wobble especially for Pressure Sounds... thunderous new versions by one of the best bass players around. Wobble was the original bass player in the greatest ever incarnation of PIL and has subsequently recorded with everyone from Pharaoh Sanders, Can, Bill Laswell and his own group ‘Invaders of the Heart’. Recorded with tablas and with additional music by Clive Bell and Sylvia Hallet this is a bass heavy floor shaker that will seriously disturb your speakers. Wobble’s music has always followed its own light and we are delighted to have this innovative and original artist release a record with Pressure Sounds. The B side features the Cliff Brumby mix (Cliff Brumby is a character from the original film and not a house DJ!) This version was also produced by Jah Wobble. British musical ‘noir’ at its very best.  As Jack Carter said "Be good and don’t trust boys".
