Limited Edition of 300: 150 Red, 150 Black (this)

Brand new (and also the last one) treat in the The Very Polish Cut-Outs 7inch series, usually devoted to quirkier and weirder tracks than the much acclaimed 12" samplers.Eltron John kicks off the A side with a reggae influenced rework of a Polish children's song from late 80's called 'Ludzie z Marsa'. His modern, dubby production and close attention to the smallest details fuses perfectly with abstract lyrics. This serious-not-serious song treats about people who are from Mars and invade Earth, because 'they can't remember what the forest animals look like, what a farce !Already road tested by the members of TVPC, this Caribbean-East European depth of a groove works perfectly in late night drunk sets.On the B side Eddie C visits executive suite of a cruise ship with his extended, melancholic rework of 'Stoneczna Promenada'. The original tune is an old Polish cocktail-lounge classic from the late 70's, transformed here into a psychedelic story of epic proportions.Moody loops evoke instant headnodding and added dub effects magnify the nostalgic, sunny vibe.

James “Jima” Cappra is a Leo, who hails from Bean Town, and although he sang along with his idols, the Jacksons, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, he didn’t decide to go public until 1982.Troy DeVoe, a Sagittarian is also from Boston, Mass., and by visiting and observing, taught himself the keyboard in the mid seventies. His original melodies needed lyrics and that’s when he and his life time friend Jima got together. At first it was difficult to convince James that he was a vocalist, but by adding a rhythm section and calling themselves the “Cruise Band”, they were off and playing.The band lasted long enough for Cappra and DeVoe to know that they could work together, and it gave them more confidence. They worked with such artists as Planet Patrol, New Edition, Margo Thunder, Jay Dixon, Maurice Starr, and Larry Wu. James Cappra is Bobby Brown's brother. Troy DeVoe is Ronnie DeVoe's uncle from Bell Biv DeVoe aka BBDCapri and DeVoe’s first album of originals was “Get Street Wise”. Now still writing and arranging, they’ve added producing to their credits. Their new release is entitled “You Are Everything to Me”.

Dubb-ble A f/New Zealand's Lord Echo & California's DJ Day. Day gives Echo's "Bohemian Idol" an 80s machine reggae vibe while Echo turns Day's "Land of a Thousand Changes" into a live disco reggae studio jam. 180gm white wax in a throwback disco sleeve.

The wonderful Black Ops sub label from the SLEAZYBEATS crew continues... Junktion joins the Black Ops special forces for a stunning new EP!This Dutch producer, co-owner of the celebrated Outplay label and contributor to labels of note Slow Town & Times Are Ruff has made quite a name for himself over the course of a handful of very well received releases.We think this might well be his best work to date. The Great Unknown deals in the kind of irresistible grooves that have ensured the Black Ops series has been a day-one sell-out around the globe.Familiar sample work blended with toughened up, mid-tempo House manoeuvers and superb additional synth candy conspire to fill out a very crisply produced and versatile 3 tracker that will work a variety of floors perfectly. Black Ops pull off another operation with 007 levels of charm and efficiency...Report to the dancefloor !As always, this is a limited, vinyl only release. It will not be repressed and will not be released digitally. Not now, not ever.
