This Ep announces the release of the 5th album Anthony Joseph. These extracts are highly anticipated by his fans but also for music lovers Jazz / Funk. In this new track, Anthony Joseph chose to work alongside Sly Johnson and his talent to bring a piece in another dimension.On the devastating “Neckbone”, we found poetry of Anthony chanted in pure Caribbean style, not far from that of one of its models Linton Kwesi Johnson. For the chorus, from this Caribbean accent you could cut with a knife, hides Sly Johnson.A track made for the dancefloor with a big catchy bassline.On the B side, we find the percussive "Mano A Mano", poetry on a percussion avalanche in the purest style of the Last Poets.

Limited Edition 500 copies Originally released on BEAT LP 002 (1968)!First complete 180gr. reissue of the unobtainable BEAT LP 002!Extensive liner notes written and signed by Maestro Sandro Brugnolini himself!Includes a bonus 7’’ 45 rpm single with two tracks performed by Gepy!Remastered from the original quarter inch reels with the full co-operation of Brugnolini himself!After Gli Arcangeli, but before Gungala and L’uomo dagli occhiali a specchio, italian Master Sandro Brugnolini composed the soundtrack for Fantabulous, a stunning pop movie inspired by the world of comics, superheroes and secret agents, directed by Sergio Spina in 1967. The music is a mixture of jazz, mod sounds and psych-beat, where Brugnolini adapts his jazz leanings to the new musical fashions of the day: soul, R&B and psychedelia. This soundtrack was from ever almost officially out of print, languishing up to now in the deepest reaches of obscurity, much sought-after both for the elusive BEAT Records 7”, published at the time to promote the two songs in the film, but even more so for the original LP, a real ghost-album which never appeared anywhere or anytime. The Four Flies issue for the first time reconstructs this incredible soundtrack in its entirety, thanks to a meticulous restoration work obtained from two different master tapes kept in the personal archives of Brugnolini himself and BEAT Records. Also included is the 7” with two alternative mix (never before published anywhere) of the tracks performed by Gepy: a real treat for soul and R&B DJs all over the world.https://soundcloud.com/fourfliesrecords/sandro-brugnolini-fantabulous

Pocket Money returns for their third release and they are back with what could easily be their strongest output yet.Just hitting the ripe old age of one, and a couple of releases in, this label has found its stride nicely and starting to turn heads in the scene.Taking the spotlight for the Deep Basics EP is the producer Keepin Soul, who may only have a handful of releases to his name but puts himself in the spotlight with this deep and meaningful pocket money release.This is a beautifully dusty sounding record, it opens up doing exactly what it says on the tin - Deep Basics and doing them well.This A1 is all about hypnotic grooves undulating against the drive of crisp, warm and exciting percussive grooves.I Can't Stop picks the energy up slightly on the record, but is still treated to the same lavish warmth and tradition of the opening track, as the vocal swirls and dreamily drifts off into the night, its hard not to fall in love with this track.Flip the record and your greeted with Sun's Gonna Rise, a faster paced track laced with a groovy filtered riff. It's clear that Keepin' Soul has a fantastic skill of switching arrangements to keep everything in exactly the right place.The B2 brings us to the party piece of the record. Love is… breaks out the vocals, organs, splashy hats and heads for the dance floor, fantastic energy in amongst a beautifully constructed EP. If your looking for an authentic experience that will draw you in this is a record you should not miss.

With "House Warming" Andy Vaz returns with his 3rd full lenght album on his own Yore Imprint. Due to Andy's half Indian roots, he is lucky enough to owe a Beach House just outside of Mangaluru, South India in the State of Karnataka. - where most parts of the Album were written over a period of 6 months. In this totally isolated, entirely tourist free hidden spot, which had become Andy's second home over the past years, he found himself away from the usual routines of western life, to find himself in a position to simply sit down and create. The result is "House Warming".As the Title suggest's - think of house, sure and no doubt- but here on this album, thought all the way thru from beginning to end. The result then is House Music in all it's aspects: The Soulful, the deep and the raw or if you want - Deep House, Acid House, Garage/Vocal House - the joints range from downtempo, elektro and even hip hop beats. Oldschool you may think? Maybe in spirit, as entirely produced with analogue synths & the roland series from 808, 909, 505, 606 to the original 303, but used in a modern studio environment. Andy Vaz is someone who has been around long enough to know how to programme his very personal idea's into the music - without denying influences such as Detroit, Chicago and New Jersey, to create something that goes further than a simple reflection of the past. Deep isn't a genre, it's a feeling. A warm feeling most of all. Be invited to come and see if you'll find it here.

Atjazz Record Company is pleased to welcome back prolific artist and dapper gent Fred Everything. From Canada to the UK, this skillful and ever-present producer brings over 20 years of talent and experience to bear on this exciting new release.We delve into the offering firstly with the titular track: O. A soft and muted start slowly builds up into a fizzy melodic vibe that is undercut with a tasty bass riff. As the track drives on, the harmonies continue to build until they crescendo with a dreamy high-end hook juxtaposed with stippled sour characters.Then Mr ARCo. himself, Atjazz, enters the fray with the Galaxy Aart Remix. Staccato rhythms and active bass notes combine with engaging pops of synth to further illustrate Atjazz's mastering of his craft.We follow this with Her, a meaty beats and bass orgy that effortlessly builds into a shimmering and crystalline cut. This track perfectly showcases Fred's commitment to quality legitimate music and you will not be disappointed!We conclude with the shorter and sharper Devil In The Dub remix where only the lightest of tweaks and touches is applied, but this brings a fresh and compelling sound to an already impressive track.

Rose Records co-founder Martin Hayes makes his solo debut on Razor-N-Tape with 4 tracks of down-n-dirty disco and soul! Having previously collaborated on a more production-centered EP on RNT Reserve, Hayes shows us his penchant for digging and slicing up the dustiest of grooves.

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.
