Lovedrop – Lovedrops 2
Lovedrop
After previous releases on G.A.M.M and Home Taping is Killing Music and winning love from the likes of Luke Solomon, Dicky Trisco & Tropical Disco along the way, Adam Dubock aka Lovedrops is back with another heavy hitting 2 sided affair. ‘Track 1’ is a smooth bumper with sax lines, party atmosphere and snippets of a tasty disco-funk working throughout over a killer house beat. The flipside Adam delivers a locked-in, subtly tooled-up take on an electric piano-sporting jazz-funk gem that sits at the jazzier end of the spectrum.

More disco dust from the man like Da Lukas who has recently been smashing the charts with releases on King Street & Good Stuff Recording.

Bosq feat The Ibibio Horns – Song For Ehi
Canopy
‘Song For Ehi’ is a fierce collaboration between afro disco funk producer Bosq and the Ibibio Sound System’s horn section and their vocalist Kaleta. Inspired by a combination of classic Edo-funk, Afro-disco and reggae disco, the A-side original version is a perfect mix of timbales-sporting dub disco grooves, reverb-laden lead vocals, Afro-funk guitar licks, Afrobeat-esque organ licks and punchy horns. The track’s inherent dubbiness is further explored on the flipside revision, adding extra layers of percussion, breathless dancefloor weight and a killer dub workout.

Casbah 73 – Lets Invade The Amazon
Boogie Angst

With releases on like Glitterbox and Lovemonk, he now makes his Boogie Angst debut with a two-sided live band funk workout reminiscent of early 70’s acts. ‘Let’s Invade the Amazon’ is a highly grooved piece of live musical wizardry, with a killer vocal performance to match, featuring funky electric pianos, and cool synth riffs. ‘Pale Splash of Blue’, comes complete with some top shelf live Moog, Rhodes, and Hammond jazz funk action, bouncing around a rhythmic groove. Casbah 73’s sound is a mesh of his broad influences and perfect for those evening beach club vibes.
