Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Fire (Mr Scruff Remix) 12" (CHOICE CUTS)

Written By 1 - July 17 2012

Available Here on 12"

Side A Hypnotic Brass Ensemble lay down an infectious stripped down to the bone latin flavoured anthem that immediately grabs the listener with its back breaking bass line and neck-snapping horn section. From the start the pulsating low-end of the sousaphone commands your full attention as the flawless horn stabs sit perfectly on top to create one of their most club friendly tracks to date. Colm K of Bastard Jazz fame edits down HBE's original version into a supreme 4 minute mix. Side B features special guest duties from Manchester's finest Mr. Scruff. He reworks the extended mix of Fire and utilizes his signature sounds to great effect, creating the quintessential Hypnotic v Mr Scruff collaboration - an absolute monster of a track for the dance floors! This is a strictly limited vinyl press with sleeve artwork by Donal Thornton of practice&Theory previous work includes: Onra, All City, HouseShoes, Hypnotic Hypnotic Brass Ensemble FIRE (Mr Scruff Remix) Snippet by Mr Scruff

Salah Ragab - Unreleased Egyptian Jazz 2x7" (JAZZMAN)

Written By 1 - June 13 2012

Available Here on 2 x 7"

Comes packaged within a hand-printed pyramid shaped box

Unreleased Egyptian Jazz: 2x45s set in a Unique Hand-Printed Fold-Open Pyramid! Four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary Egyptian drummer! Before the re-release of his album with the Cairo Jazz Band recently, the name Salah Ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another LP that was recorded with Sun Ra in the early ‘70s. His album ‘Prism Music Unit’ with the Cairo Jazz Band was released in Egypt with another by the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble, but perhaps only Salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didn’t make it onto these LPs. The tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, it’s taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of Egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. Entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the splendor that is Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band!

TRACKLIST & SOUNDCLIPS: A1 - Black Butterfly A2 – Kahn El-Khaleely B1 – Latino in Cairo B2 – The Egyptian March SOUNDS LIKE: Mulatu Astatke Ethiopiques Sun Ra Phil Cohran Spiritual Jazz
