Trying to put the enigmatic producer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGhostlife\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e into words is no easy feat, for a start very few people have ever met him. Best way to describe Ghostlife is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKyser Soze\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with a keyboard, minus all the criminal bits, an anonymous tactician with an ear for a woozy beat. He may indeed have been the source of the above tall tales, writer of his own fiction if you will. It is perhaps then fitting that he should be pulled towards another artist who spent much of his career sowing the seeds of doubt in regard to his own identity, the much-lamented \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMF Doom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Respected rapper Doom not only hid his face from the public but was also well known for releasing music under a raft of different monikers adding further mystery to a canon of work that had reached a legendary status before his untimely death in 2020, and after. In this instance it is Doom's collaborations with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadlib\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, resulting in the 2004 ground-breaking album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillainy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, that got Ghostlife's remix reflex twitching. He decided to further ramp up the subterfuge (this is dream within a dream stuff) and remix some choice cuts from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbstract Orchestra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's interpretation of the record. For those who don't know, Abstract Orchestra, led by saxophonist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, are based on the classic jazz big band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets and trombones and features the cream of the north's jazz scene. When you dig into \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillainy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e you will note many of the samples (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Ra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Evans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFreddie Hubbard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e amongst others) lent a jazz-oriented feel to the record, an ethos that, in turn, lent itself perfectly to the deconstruction and re-imagining by Abstract. Ghostlife wanted peel back the next layer of this onion and, inspired by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaytranada\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's organic synthesis of the hip hop aesthetic among slightly higher BPMs, Ghostlife began to pick tracks from Abstract's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillain 1\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003e2\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to play around with. This was all done above board of course. He made contact with Rob who was so intrigued by what Ghostlife sketched out that handed over the original stems with his blessing. All in all Ghostlife remixed ten tracks, including \"Raid,\" \"Fancy Clown,\" \"Curls,\" and \"Figaro,\" and has forgone the big arrangements. Rather he has coaxed out hooks, and sampled small sections, dipping into Abstract Orchestra's work with the steady precision of a watchmaker to create something new and exciting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53443211362583,"sku":"ATA 029LP","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/MadvillainRemixes.jpg?v=1776750716"},{"product_id":"hot-lp","title":"Hot Wax","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBe With Records presents a reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Hawkshaw\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Bennett\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Fiddy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eHot Wax\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, originally issued in 1976. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eHot Wax\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an assured KPM masterclass from a dream team line-up of Bennett, Hawkshaw and Fiddy. This is what happens when all three decide to explore the latest trends in production music. The latest as of 1976, of course. Fiddy's numbers are sumptuous, string-led and light.

The Bennett and Bennett\/Hawkshaw stuff is on another level. \"Capitol City\" oscillates between driving funk and downbeat sentiment. \"Name Of The Game\" is tough, smokin' funk, famously sampled in 2007 by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadlib\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePercee P\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \"Who With Me\". \"Bop On The Rocks\" knocks hard and \"Full Throttle\" features a guitar solo with some of the nastiest, about-to-explode fuzz one is ever likely to hear. Be With has worked with the hallowed KPM to re-issue ten of our favorites from across the KPM 1000 Series and the Themes International Music catalogue, currently under KPM stewardship. Whether it's killer soul-funk, sweet jazz-samba, scuzzed-up guitars or accidental Balearic beauty, these records include some of the most innovative work from some of the most talented composers and musicians of the 20th century. These records were never readily available, being originally released as a ready-made, affordable alternative to commissioning music for television and radio. Consequentially the originals have been unobtainable for decades by all but the most dedicated collectors.

With dope beats taking in diverse styles, from funk and soul and jazz through to Latin, Brazilian, samba and Afro-Cuban, this is an amazing sample source filled with killer drum-breaks and percussion flares. This library LP is a mix of short themes of single beats, short breaks and some longer, more fully-formed DJ-friendly tracks. Of all the 34 tracks Be With's favorites include opener \"Impulsion\", a percussive masterclass with drum upon drum making it feel like a neat prototype to the percussive underscores of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Lüdemann\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePit Troja\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's eternal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Now Generation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e LP. And the dramatic \"Fast Action\" is exactly that, racing along on a rapid roll of congas, cymbal crashes and throbbing kicks. \"The Chaser\" is classic library cop-funk with dilapidated drum figures, and the outrageously funky \"Heat On\" is the perfect accompaniment to your wild action sequences. A real highlight is \"Runaway\", and not just because it sounds like nothing else on the record. Here are drums and percussion in that tight funk style that just cries out to be sampled. \"Percussion Power\" is an extended, near three-minute suite of funky drum solo after funky drum solo that just aches to be looped. \"Shivers\" is a tense, apprehensive underscore with shock stabs that builds to a climax whilst \"Drums On Parade\" is a showcase of head-nod drums and cymbals in march time. \"Samba Street\" is riotous, authentically drawn samba that sounds like it's been beamed straight in from Rio in full flow. The simple, innocent \"Child's Themes\" (all five of them) provide a nice, sweet respite from all the funk. Nursery sounds tinged with only a touch of melancholy. The gentle marimba solo of \"Tropical Peace\" only adds to the sense of serenity we get from the relatively calm second side. The album closes out with a veritable toolkit of tom toms, snare drum rolls, timpani, vibraphones and chiming bells. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePercussion Spectrum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a joyous collection of sounds, as bright, beaming and downright funky as the vibrant cover.

But the real highlight of this cult classic -- and why it has long been so desirable -- is the devastating, deep, hypnotic minimalist groove of \"Bass In Action N°1\". Very much in conversation with Quincy's rendition of \"Hummin'\", the loping, rumbling bassline and sweet electric piano over clean, crisp drums making it one of those tracks that sounds like a hip-hop beat 20 years ahead of time. \"Bass In Action N°2\" features Tonio's own vocal scat performance. Antonio \"Tonio\" Rubio Garcia got his start playing the double bass in jazz clubs.

Enlivening the B-Side immediately is the fantastic, propulsive funky-jazz of \"Les Copains De La Basse\". \"Doucement La Basse\" is largely forgettable but \"Bass Session\" is a blazing psych-jazz-rock burner. \"Bass After Love\" is devastatingly psychy, funky and unique. \"Ballade Pour Une Basse\" is a classic funky French jazz piece with an infectious bass melody that seems to anticipate \"Before The Night Is Over\", the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Simon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e track that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutkast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sampled for \"So Fresh, So Clean\".

He was one of the main architects of the Munich disco sound of electronic innovator Giorgio Moroder and also released heaps of killer library records for legendary labels like Bruton, Impress, JW Music Library and the Munich-based Sonoton between the 1970s-2000s. Bastow died tragically young, in Berlin, Germany on 16 March 2007, at the age of just 57. But he left behind a truly incredible electronic music legacy. He deserves to be much better known and this reissue should bring him to a fair few more ears.

Rounding out this first side, \"Hard Crust\" ups the ante with thrilling wah-wah funk-rock, a dramatic, pounding and aggressive thriller. Side B opens with the steady, stealthy crime-funk of \"Highball\" before segueing brilliantly into the Hammond-laced relentless flute-funk of the driving \"Bora.\" The powerful wah-wah wonderful \"Hold Back\" is haunting orchestral funk-rock, sampled by Madlib, El-P, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRakim\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean Price\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and The Alchemist.

The cool AF \"Hogan Baby\" has a soft, rounded, bluesy feel. Grant's pounding \"Dirty John Crown\" brilliantly conjures swirling string-swept serenity atop driving, incisive drama-funk breaks.

Side 2 opens with the car chase swag of Haseley's dramatic, driving \"Precinct\". Haseley's rolling \"Sidewinder Version 1\" is robust and exuberant with bouncy horns before a cracking Parker-Hawkshaw one-two featuring the tense \"Pressure\" and the deeply soulful \"Call Me\", a relaxed, medium-tempo organ feature.

In \"Gelbi\", a gorgeously deep and propulsive Ney flute plunges into murky waters of the melancholic Tunisian dialect sung by Marzouk Mejri. In \"Marechia'\", unbridled happiness and sun ooze from the delicate vocals of Célia Kameni and create an acrobatic bridge between French and Neapolitan language. In \"Straniero\", your soul is arrested from the moment the slow spell-binding mandolin ignites the hypnotic patterns recorded by the legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen. In \"Bar Mediterraneo\", the title track, bittersweet guitar’s riffs, analog waves and choirs are overwhelming the song giving you what you would like to hear on a boat trip along the Amalfi Coast.\u003cbr\u003eNu Genea couldn't afford to overlook their firmly anchored roots into the Neapolitan culture and its dialect with \"Tienaté\", where the power of neapolitan language (interpreted by Fabiana Martone) supports those quarter-tone strings and the uncessant folk-disco groove that spreads to the entire song. In \"Praja Magia\", repetitive mandolin riffs lead the song, giving space to a choral yet tight vocal line that speaks of Varcaturo, a village close to Napoli. In \"Rire\", a volley of poetic, deceptively laidback, lyrical fury interpreted by Sicilian Marco Castello intimately combines with a highly musical, multi-textured instrumental backbone and the swoon of a chanson in its heart. In \"La Crisi'', the lyrics of a Raffaele Viviani’s poem from 1930 have been adapted to a laidback jazz-funk groove in full NG style. In \"Vesuvio\", revaluing the evocative verses and powerful mantra of Vesuvio, Nu Genea re-adapted to the dancefloor a folk song by the working-class band E’ Zezi from Pomigliano D'Arco, combining the voices of a school choir with Jupiter-6 arpeggios and bold percussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBar Mediterraneo is the place where people constantly return to transform curiosity into participation, tradition into sharing, unfamiliar into familiar. When travellers come through its “doors”, carrying their treasures of words and emotions, they aren’t strangers any more.

With a slew of classic 7”s and three critically acclaimed full length albums, they set a high bar for themselves, one they clearly intend on pushing even higher with this new offering. On their fourth album BRSB, Bacao are back with more of the same, but more of the same with them is inherently different. Covering songs that span genres and range from mega hits to underground album cuts, they make them their own with their unique approach to the traditional steel pans of Trinidad and Tobago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile part of the allure of a new Bacao Rhythm \u0026amp; Steel Band album is finding out what covers they do it is equally intriguing to see what original tunes they cooked and this record is full of stand out originals. The album opener, “In The Crosshairs” is a rough and tough mid tempo head nodder while both “Grilled” \u0026amp; “Treasure Quest” pick up the tempo with heavy African Funk influences on both. Bacao goes deep with “Hazy Memories”, a bass heavy slow burner that walks a line between hypnotic and hype. All these originals stand as testament that the term “cover band” is a shoe that could never fit Bacao. However, in the tradition of steel pan music, they do a heavy amount of covers. This time around there is a big West Coast Hip Hop influence with covers of Game \u0026amp; 50 Cent’s “How We Do”, Dr Dre \u0026amp; Snoop Dogg’s “Nuthin But A G Thang”, and Tupac’s “Got My Mind Made Up” all of which take on new energy and lend themselves to the BRSB steel treatment. Bacao puts another certified dancefloor filler on their resume with their cover of Claudja Barry’s uber Disco classic “Love For The Sake Of Love” which they flip into a dubbed out affair aptly changing even the title to “Love For The Sake Of Dub”. Pulling from the contemporary smash hit section of Hop Hop they cover Drake’s “Hotline Bling” and “Love$ick” by Mura Masa \u0026amp; A$AP Rocky. Then they go very unexpected with “Stranger Things Theme” where they take the synth heavy theme song to the hit show and give it a more hypnotizing tone than the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time BRSB is through, Bacao has taken the listener on a journey spanning a myriad of energies, tempos, and moods while keeping it all under one umbrella. For all that, these songs are alive, and they will be taken out of the context of this album and sewn into the fabric of DJ sets around the globe for many years to come. Bacao Rhythm \u0026amp; Steel Band continues building their legacy and pushing the boundaries of steel pan music forward with another rock solid musical offering.

It is the band’s sixth full-length record, and the first to feature the band’s Max Grunhard as producer since 2019’s Doko Mien. Following their Hot Chip-produced breakthrough Electricity (2022) and the darker, clubbier inflection of the Ross Orton-produced Pull the Rope (2024), Chopping Mountain feels like it was pulled directly from the hearts and experiences of the Eno Williams and Grunhard-led band.Williams, as always, is a siren — a once-in-a-generation frontwoman whose call, both to the dancefloor and for a better tomorrow, is impossible to resist. How she does it is a mystery. Take a song like “Return to Sender,” for instance. Inspired by a car accident in which she felt the steering wheel of her vehicle literally jump out of her hands — which she likened to “a spiritual attack by unseen forces” — the track is a sinewy, cathartic rager, a full-body workout and full-throated rejection of evil in multiple tongues, English and her native Ibibio.She is, of course, hardly alone at the foot of Chopping Mountain. Ibibio Sound Machine — Grunhard (saxophone, keyboards), Alfred Bannerman (guitar), PK Ambrose (bass, keyboards), Joseph Amoako (drums), Afla Sackey (percussion), Scott Baylis (trumpet, keyboards), and Tony Hayden (trombone, synth) — are supernaturally tight, drawing on their roots and inspirations in highlife, disco, afrobeat, funk, post-punk, and electropop to build towering cathedrals of sound around her voice. Continuing on the path they first charted on Pull the Rope, many of Chopping Mountain’s songs started out in jam sessions, locking in on a groove or an instrument or a lyric. “Give Me Peace,” featuring Dele Sosimi of Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80, found its way to bliss once the chant-sung lyrics “Give me peace, give me freedom, give me love with a kiss” tumbled out of Williams’ consciousness. The dub-inflected, breakbeat heavy soul that stirs to life beneath them — an entirely new sound for a band that has mastered blending a seemingly endless array of sounds — came naturally. “It’s about finding calm in a world that is trying to tear us down,” Williams and Grunhard explain. “Once we established that direction, the song seemed to write itself.”This is, at its core, the spirit of Chopping Mountain. Against the backdrop of a dispiriting world, Ibibio Sound Machine remain hopeful, seekers of consciousness and connection. On tracks like “Concept of Love,” they are direct and earnest, sculpting an Afro-disco song around Williams’ repeated question of “What is your concept of love?” They have their theory (“When you love someone \/ Let them love you back”) but the song passes the idea from member to member — a thrilling guitar solo from Bannerman, Baylis’ horn stings, vocoders, and precision drumfills — in a way that creates, almost paradoxically, a space in which one can meditate on the answer or move through it. Exploring the concept further on “Love,” they deliver an ethereal slice of highlife.This heady brew of disparate styles and points of origin melds and pulls itself apart across the whole of Chopping Mountain, its songs united in that they are the sharpest tools Ibibio Sound Machine can bring to bear in the present moment. They present the struggle for freedom as a communal one, in which even the smallest movement contributes to the end game. As Williams sings in the title track, “When pebble disturbs the water \/ Ripples over yonder \/ Force of a sling shot hits you \/ Chopping mountain rock asunder.” The work of liberation is long and difficult, but it is not without joy — here is an album bursting with it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":55163354513687,"sku":"MRG886lp-1","price":20.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green Smoke","offer_id":55163354546455,"sku":"MRG886lp-2","price":20.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/MRG886.jpg?v=1789085556"},{"product_id":"contre","title":"Contrée","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntuitive and thoughtful, contemplative and tense, dealing with both the smooth and the ridged, Régis Renouard Larivière's music moves through contrasts and oppositions to bring out a singular and personal style, a clean, persistent, demanding and generous \"sonance\".

It revolves around objects, it reaches out and meets the world, it grabs situations, it grabs listeners as accomplices. Luc Ferrari's music is never pure, it draws from its surroundings. First of all from the concreteness of the sound, then from the concrete per se. From life. Both pieces in this record reflect this aspect: this is a music open onto the outside world and experience; a music which, just like its composer, is utterly dedicated to freedom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55163110981911,"sku":"REGRM022lp","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/a1545850205_10.jpg?v=1789087777"},{"product_id":"violostries","title":"Violostries","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBernard Parmegiani is a leading figure in the history of the GRM and electroacoustic music as a whole. All three pieces, virtuosic and inspired, span over a particularly fruitful period in the composer's career. A period of exploration, discovery, where musical writing was transcended by a burst of the sound palette, notably with the onset of synthesis and instrumental exploration merging with a concrete technique that had reached its maturity. The musical works presented here thus reflect, each in their own way, this pivotal and flourishing period of the late 1960s, the first golden age of concrete music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55163111047447,"sku":"REGRM023lp","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/a1718950208_10.jpg?v=1789088079"}],"url":"https:\/\/sisyphusrecordworks.com\/collections\/europe.oembed?page=4","provider":"Sisyphus Record Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
