AA. VV. – In the Christmas Groove

December 25, 2009 by admin
album, compilation, funk, soul


A Merry Funky Christmas!!!!!

The golden era of ‘60s and ‘70s soul music boasts a great tradition for Christmas songs and, following in the footsteps of classic Christmas albums from the Motown stable and James Brown, Strut enter the festive spirit this November with the first ever Yuletide compilation on the label, IN THE CHRISTMAS GROOVE, bringing together 12 rare soul, funk and blues cuts rediscovered from Christmases past. Featuring tracks often only ever released as obscure 45 B-sides, the compilation tracks one-off moments when the good groove met the jingle bells to devastating effect. Artists include bluesman Jimmy Reed, jamming hard on ‘Christmas Present Blues’ and Calypsonian Capt. Elmo McKenzie with a lilting Yuletide Caribbean ode on Barbados label Trex. UK-based session collective Zebra weigh in with a festive slice of gritty Afro-rock and kids choir Harlem Children’s Chorus’ paint a poignant picture of ‘Black Christmas’ in the ghetto. We also include some useful covers of Christmas favourites. Late, lamented New Orleans Godfather Eddie Bo produces Isaac Clarke on a solid version of ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’ for his Seven B label and The Black On White Affair out of Seattle rock out on an amazing re-work of ‘Auld Lang Syne’. All in all, an essential diggers’ grab bag for the festive season and a refreshing alternative to the traditional Christmas fare. Early reaction from Lapland is encouraging: “Sinatra and Jim Reeves are certainly legends but the same songs each Christmas are driving me and Rudolph a bit potty, quite frankly,” explains Santa Claus. “This is the sh*t I want in my sleigh!” IN THE CHRISTMAS GROOVE is released on CD and digital on November 23rd and features an extensive booklet including original sleeve artwork and sleeve notes by James Maycock of Mojo magazine.

Il Balletto di Bronzo – Sirio 2222 (Japanese Edition) [1970]

December 24, 2009 by admin
album, beat, classical, pop, psych, rock

Il Balletto di Bronzo is an italian Rock band formed in late 60s. “Sirio 2222” was their first LP published in 1970. It is a good mix of rock, pop, classical music, beat and psychedelic sounds influenced by Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

It’s one of the first progressive-rock-oriented album made by italian music scene. After this first issue, the band changes the style with their second groundbreaking LP “YS” after the departure of vocalist Marco Cecioni and bass player Michele Cupaiolo. YS is more “progressive” and all the tracks are part of a musical story. Sound is really original, good played, over-elaborated but really interesting. Unfortunately italians snubbed both albums and Il balletto di bronzo disbanded few years after “YS”. The band came back in 90s with Gianni Leone as a frontman. Now they are playing all over the world and are very poular in places like Japan, Chile annd Mexico.

Personnel:
Marco Cecioni – vocals
Michele Cupaiolo – bass
Lino Ajello – guitar
Giancarlo Stringa drums

Tracklist:

  1. Un posto ( Giacomo Simonelli, Della Bruna e Enzo Gioieni) – 3:20
  2. Eh eh ah ah (lyrics and music by Giacomo Simonelli) – 3:57

Wildchild – Renegade Master 1998

December 22, 2009 by admin
big beat, breakbeat, house, people, single


In memory of Roger McKenzie aka Wildchild (1971-1995)

Renegade Master is a classic mastercut. I really loved and still love this track. FatBoySlim’s oldschool mix is unbelievable, and i remember the song in 1998… one of the best party songs of all time. Unfortunately Roger McKenzie aka Wildchild prematurely died in 1995, so he has never listened to da awesome FatBoySlim remix. Maximum respect to his work with label Dark Black , he got talent but sometimes life is so strange…

Tracklist:
1. fatboy slim old school edit
2. original mix (1995)

3. tall paul mix

4. fatboy slim old school mix

5. fatboy slim new school mix

6. urban takeover mix
7. s’n’v’ fool flava mix

8. s’n’v’ moonmen mix
