2016

ATTD Vol 9 is a banger, fetauring remixes from FOUK, Nachtbraker & Crackazat alongside JN himself.A1. 'I Can Feel Your Body Rock' has shades of Gary's Gang, Tony Lee and Softhouse Co, though none of those are sampled or stolen from. The JN Extended Mix combines boogie bass, 80s electronics, chopped vocals and old school piano for an energetic stormer which has a lot more panache than most. It's danceable but its also full of musicality and made with a lot of love.A2 Dutch duo Daniel Leseman & Hans Peeman have only been producing as Fouk since 2014 with their debut release for Outplay Records immediately catching the attention of Boiler Room. An acclaimed remix of Lay-Far for Sweden's Local Talk Records and their Kill Frenzy EP for Detroit Swindle's Heist imprint plus more remixes for the likes of Kraak & Smaak and Razor-n-Tape cemented the duo as ones to watch for the future. Now they deliver a remix for Z Records taking the title track from The Sunburst Band's classic 1998 debut album and giving the bassline driven funk cut an energetic jazzy 4/4 makeover.B1 Sean's 'It's Time' album was universally well received in the house community, and rightly so, it was a strong debut featuring an array of talented vocalist and strong songs. For this EP the tracky 90's style 'Holding On' gets reworked by Crackazat who keeps the original vibe adding Smack Productions style keys and his trademark jazzy, warm production to Sean's original. Crackazat has come to the attention of dj's including Disclosure, Detroit Swindle and Homework through his releases on Futureboogie and more recently Sweden's Local Talk where he released his latest album 'Crescendo'.B2. Is exclusive to this Release and features a remix from the mighty Nachtbraker rounding off the package in his usual style.

Here at Bearfunk we have been pretty busy as of late... it was a casual visit to Geneva just like any other. We had just finished a buzzing set and soon after we found ourselves talking to a five bearded academic types. It turns out they were a bunch of theoretical physicists out on a cosmologists night out. They work them hard at CERN and that day the Large Hadron Collector had been a real beast... rebooting five times before lunch. They were pissed off and needed a new challenge. We offered them a job on the spot and they promptly moved to our London HQ working on a wage of tea, vinyl and Nandos. We set them a challenge... Build us a time machine! They started soaking up all those Bearfunk-groove-boson particles and..., you know what? They did it!! A Time machine of our own.Our first task, jump back in time to 1985 and retrieve us something really cool. Set controls to the Manhattan office to Celluloid Records. Fresh from their hit with Herbie Hancocks "Rockit", spearheading rap with Fab Five Freddys "Change The Beat" and Afrika Bambata stompers the legendary label is preparing to release the debut album from NYC-Paris emigre Lord Funk.The album is prepped and ready to go with a release date. It's a cornucopia of mid 80s sounds. Disco, Hip Hop, Rare Groove, Deep Boogie and foot-tapping funk. We manage to hijack a shipment of the records on the way from the plant to the record distributors and bring them back to 2016. We are ecstatic but Celluloid Records are furious. Celluloid never gets to release the record and its existence slips into music legend. We however find ourselves in the 2016 future sitting on a stack of LPs which represent one cool sound from 1985. Surely just what time machines were invented for.Alas this story doesn't have a happy ending. As we were beaming the last batch of master tapes... the ones containing the Larry Levan remix of Bad Day and the Jean-Michel Basquiat artwork for the album sleeve... things went terribly wrong. A stray chicken bone fell into the spacetime-continuum-field-generator and our beloved time machine imploded, never to be seen again. The remaining mixes and artwork were lost too. However it's not all bad as we at least had the batch of vinyl of the Global Warming LPs. Which we proudly present you, new sleeve and all, for sale in 2016.https://soundcloud.com/lord-funk/global-warming-teazzza-lord

Duckcomb aka Patrick Billiard is one half of Brooklyn's Sharegroove. A longtime Brooklyn DJ and digger, Duckcomb drops two edits from the far corners of the disco stratosphere. 'Bonnevie' is a hands-in-the-air dancefloorgroover with sexy female vocals, funky bongos, synth melodies, and a heartbreaking keyboard solo. 'Every Night' hits us right where it hurts with soft rock for hard times written all over it. Male lead and female backup vocals, night drive guitar solos, and a drummer with a heart of gold, 'Every Night' is just begging to be sampled, like Kurt Hauenstein or Jim Capaldi hid a secret mega tune in some private press tax scam record, knowing Patrick would eventually come along and take care of the rest.

The debut vinyl release from Famille Electro Records comes in the shape of a tasty Various Artists EP...Label manager Dan Corco kicks off the EP with his cut CHOOZ with its mounting energy, hypnotic bassline, tricky rhythms and heavy claps.Bass lovers will then get caught up in DJ Entwan's tech house BAMBATTA which oscillates between whirlwind synths and funky guitars.On the B side, PUNKY WASH supplies FROM THE FLOWERS which comes into bloom via Jazzy Rhodes, thin flutes and shooting vocals. Rounding off the EP BNOISE's Macrocosmos track POURQUOI PAS showcases the producers use of ethereal layers, accurate drums and ghostly voices....... Since 2006 Famille electro records is already played and supported by artists like Marco Carola, Josef Capriati, Danny Tenaglia, Mark Knight, Tocadisco, Piemont, Guy J, Raxon, Hector Couto, Sabb, Sam Divine, Silicone Soul, Reiner Weichhold, Umek, Nicole Moudaber, James Flavour, Dosem, Alex Flatner, Danny Serrano, Sasha, Slam, Sam Paganini, David Herrero, Veerus and Maxie, Nick Muir, Mario Ochoa, P-Ben, Ramiro Lopez, Alexander Aurel, Alex Flatner, Hollen...
