BHE 8 continues the devastation from Gay Marvine: totally transformed donna summer, a prince disco edit that removes all the vocals, his liaisons avant apres mars master edit, and iggy bowie eno sister midnight.

It is with great honour that Emotional Rescue comes back to the music of Jaki Whitren & John Cartwright for a special 7" of two previously unreleased songs on to vinyl for the first time in That Will Be That and This Time. Originally part of the International Times reissue project (ERC004) in 2013, the songs have previously only been available on CD and digital formats as 'out-takes'. However, all that time the plan was to release the songs as a stand-alone vinyl release at some point.
Discussion with John continued over the years and the plan was for a release as part of the label's fifth anniversary, until sadly the project was put on hold due to the untimely loss of both Jaki and John in late 2016. The recent repress of their masterpiece that is their privately pressed album, International Times, led to these songs being revisited for the first time since and so here at last are both available together, as much in homage to these two wonderful musicians. More than studio-plus recordings, That Will Be That actually appeared in rerecorded form on the couple's Rhythm Hymn album of 1983. Here though is the original (and superior) version, with all the hallmarks of classic Whitren and Cartwright song writing craft, musicianship and production skill. Again remastered by their son (and at the time, teenage drummer) Joby Baker, the song drips with a confidence of masters of their instruments, full heartfelt, righteous and as relevant today as then lyrics, all backed with some deep white funk and enough soul to move mountains. This is accompanied by one of their greatest compositions in the spine-tingling This Time. Only ever known on this live recording from Glastonbury Hall, Jaki's vocals and light accompaniment from John's keys let the song shine. If the sheer power of her voice and words don't move you, then something is missing in life. A pure, sad, joyous way to thank and remember this wonderful music and people.

S3A, a fundamental player in the French house scene and resident at Paris' famous Concrete between 2012 and 2016 has been making serious waves with releases on labels such as Gerd's 4lux, Local Talk, Hold Youth, Lazare Hoche, Quintessentials, his very own Sampling As An Art records and in 2016 he debuted with his track "Antois Benime (Austral Parc)" on the second release of Quartet Series. This cut became a major summer hit, played by nearly every house music DJ, including Byron the Aquarius during his wicked set on the Boiler Room stage at Dekmantel in 2017. We decided this greatly deserved a follow up and we're proud to finally present Climax EP with S3A's signature sound written all over it....

Opening on the A side is "Presentiment", a collaboration with Mika Blaster. Starting off with majestic strings then suddenly dropping into a massive beat with haunting samples flourishing over the thriving percussion telling you to dance... THOU SHALT DANCE!! The second track "Something More" picks up where Antois Benime left off. A genius mix of uplifting samples and 909 percussion makes this another club ready weapon, bound to leave smiling faces on the dancefloor.

When flipping the record you'll dive into S3A's deepness with "Wu Impact". Soft and sweet Rhodes chords, an insanely groovy bass line with percussion and those mellifluous strings again. Finishing off the release is a deep slammer that goes by the name of "Influences", again a display of S3A's ability to use a wide array of elements within a single tune, molded together to one coherent, lovable and danceable piece. Boy did we wish we had the sampling skills of this master.

A must have record for any House Music lover. On y va!

Just in time to warm up your winter, Hell Yeah revisit the peerless recent Tsuki album from ambient and Balearic masters Tempelhof & Gigi Masin. Two tracks from the album are included on this new package, as well as a remix from Jex Opolis. Trancendental and dreamy drums characterise the new age 'Corner Song', which is the sound of laying back on a boat and bobbing up and down on gentle seas at sunrise. It's organic and soothing to the max.
The other original is 'Flying Man', a suspensory film that feels like floating amongst the clouds on a humid afternoon.
Wordless vocals add a heavenly feel to the lush and all encompassing chords and pads and nothing sounds sweeter than being lost in this one. It is Corner Song that gets remixed by Good Timin' and Running Back man Jex Opolis.
Famous for his disco infused synth pop sound he is a master of his own musical world. His version is eight minutes of laid-back tropicalia. Slowly churning drums and knotted funk-bass prop it up as an eco-system of pops, clicks and hits add to the steamy and sensuous groove. It's grown up disco for cocktails on the terrace and will have you hugging anyone in earshot.
Support by Calm, Lexx, Leo Mas, Apiento, Zambon, Max Essa, Kito Jempere, Buena Onda Djs, Balearic Gabba Sound System...

Brand new vinyl only label Pantone Music unleash two fantastic edits by Japanese based artist DJ K...

London's FYI Chris joined Toy Tonics!

After releases on Rhythm Section, Church and West Friends - the 2 DJs, producers and record shop dons from London/Peckham chose the German Toy Tonics label for their next release.
The guys know what's fresh in club culture. They been store managers at one of London's coolest record stores: Rye Wax/Peckham for the last 2 years. And they are becoming one of the most interesting names of the post-house scene of London.
Their first encounter with Toy Tonics was though label boss Kapote. They quickly realized that there are big similarities in their musical vision and way how dance music should develop... so what makes more sense to make an EP together

So here it comes: FYI Chris next level electronic funk music! MPC style.

Have fun!

Ready for winter season
This time, we have a very special release for you guys.
A Mc/Tape like back in the days. On this tape we have 16 Artists.
The Tape Includes a Bandcamp download link as well.
Don't miss that one

Time for some completely fresh business from a relative newcomer to the scene, though we're sure the name Cosmonection will be on your radars soon enough. The Parisian producer knocked us off our feet with a beautiful debut back in March this year on the fledgling Pont Neuf imprint. His '10 Feet Before The Horizon EP' was loaded with the just the kind of spaced- out, synth-heavy deep late night house that gets us all aquiver over here, so when a demo popped into the inbox we were all over it like a donkey on a waffle.

Here we present you with the Menorca EP; three blissed-out synth jams which explore the space between Balearic euphoria and Detroit futurism. On the title track a mournful Moog lead takes centre stage floating over a rising chord progression whilst punchy 909 drums bring the groove to the dance floor.

Next up, You picks up the pace for a deep and dubby house workout where soft focus pads converge with clattering percussion. Fragments of chiming melody bouncing around the stripped back groove.

Flipping over we have Light which shows Cosmonection at his most musical, layering up arpeggiating synths lines through a slowly building intro until a heavy groove with hefty kick joins the scene. The arrangement ebbs and flows as the rhythm drops out, rising synths creating anticipation and tension. This track feels like an ambitious fusion of musical styles and textures with 90's ambient colliding with Underground Resistance and coming up with a fresh sound for 2018 in the process.

Rounding off the record we have Delusions regulars, DJ supremos and all- round good guys Session Victim taking the reins on a remix of You. Keeping the warm, feel-good pads, the German duo inject a new found shuffle to the groove, bringing a wide-screen sensibility which adds a sublime yet dance-floor pleasing dimension to the release.

The body never lies. Every dance is a graph of the heart. Nothing is more revealing than movement.

These are the words of Martha Graham, one of the greatest American dancers and choreographers of the 20th century. Massimiliano Pagliara might as well have them tattooed on his chest, close to his heart, being an accomplished dancer, too. He has studied contemporary dance in Milan and Berlin, and went on to dedicate his life to transforming experience into movement, be it musical, physical, or spiritual. Massimilano's message is clear: Don't stand still. Don't keep looking back. Know where you are coming from, but don't remain petrified by the past. Take a chance at Endless Change, instead. Move on! Just like Massimilano did.

Stemming from Lecce province, an area at the south-eastern-most tip of Italy, Massimilano has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion. Massimilano's last and sophomore album, With One Another, released in 2014, was about celebrating the joy of human encounters and in parts seemed like a big get-together with like-minded artists and friends (among them nd_baumecker, Lee Douglas, and Credit 00). The record quickly hit the number one spot in Groove magazine's album chart - and its creator hit the road.

Besides his busy DJ schedule and far from the usual club circuit routines, Massimilano dedicated himself to intense travelling and exploring the world anew. 'I felt like I have lived more than ever,' he states. 'Getting to discover all these beautiful places around the world and meeting so many lovely interesting people, has inspired me in many different ways. I feel enriched.'

The result of these experiences is Feel Live, Massimiliano's third full-length endeavour. It was recorded in several intimate, sometimes improvised studio settings between Los Angeles, Portland, and Massimiliano's homebase in Berlin as well as at airports and on intercontinental flights high up in the sky. Featuring vocals by Private Agenda, Peaking Lights, Kim Anh and instrumental contributions by Fort Romeau, Tim K, and Jules Etienne, Feel Live is Massimilano's most playful and imaginative work to date. It's as emotional as sensual, as vibrant as the first ray of light after a thunderstorm has cleared the air.

Is it awkward or odd to call this record jazzy Presumptuous to pinpoint its spacial, almost orchestral qualities Unfair on the ruling Cosmic powers to highlight its aspirations of founding a new land of Balearic Harmonia and getting down at a huge fertility rite with electro enthusiasts and house lovers Not one bit. Feel Live is pure grandeur and elegance. It feels like an eternal movement.

Martha Graham has dedicated her whole life to dancing. 'It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way,' she said. 'Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable.' Massimilano couldn't agree more. His advice when facing the inevitable: 'Live what you are feeling, feel what you are experiencing, good or bad, it is an experience.'

Groovy Odyssey are back again with a tasty soulful 4 tracker offering a sneaky peek into what's moving & shaking their dancefloors around the globe... New Jersey's Jihad Muhammad kicks things off alongside vocalist Carissa Nicole with a sumptuous slice of vocal goodness whilst DJ Spen & Michele Chiavarini's reworking of Leedia's 'You' brings the heat firmly to the front of the dancefloor.On the flip French trio Mindstreet team up with highly renowned vocalist Andrea Love for an infectiously good vocal workout, perfectly complimented with the mighty DJ Spinna who's Galactic Soul remix cranks up the vibe for sweet yet bubbly late night rumbler. DJ support from Stacy Kidd, DJ Oji, Ralf Gum, Mikki Afflick, Terry Hunter, Sebb Junior, Paul Trouble Anderson & Micky More.

Returning to Giallo after the as-played-by-Helena-Hauff et al split 'Black Gloves II', Bogdan Dražic is back with 'Four Trax On Black Wax'. Three new blisteringly blown out grained to fuck voodoo bangers plus a remix from the mighty Dmitry Distant. Haunted organs, lost jungle tribes, hot cannibal nights... all documented under piles of dirt and ancient spells. Not to be missed!

RTCT.Records are back at it again! Following up on two well received twelves by Demuja and Leo Woelfel the family is growing by yet another fine fella: Put your hands together for Laroze!

The french house legend came up with a strong mixture of disco, house and acid flavors covering a wide range of moods. Be careful to put these 5 tracks in your bag, because if you do they'll probably stay there for a while...this record will go from zero to anywhere quicker than you can say 'Austrian labels do it best'!

Ilija Rudman returns to IIB with a new track Motions feat the vocasl of Andre Espeut. A chuggy balearic House groover set to get us believing summer is just round the corner. The legend that is Don Carlos also returns to IIB to deliver two stunning remixes. The full on club Vocal remix and the sublime deeper take on the Ambient Mix.

The 'We R Tuesday Nights' series continues giving you three more killer funk, soul and disco tracks, edited to perfection by the Chicago master.

Electro Swing Tekhouse killer for a start and then digging the funky Tekhouse old school colors ! GREAT

AAN ZEE or "By The Sea" is the name of a music studio led by Chris Taylor a multi instrumentalist from Canada and founding member of Montreal based art noise band AIDS WOLF. Upon leaving the noise scene in 2008, Taylor embarked on a decade long musical journey that brought him to New York , Amsterdam and LA where he founded AAN ZEE: an eclectic studio of cosmic grooves and transcendant frequencies layered with traditional musicianship to create a soundtrack for those who" dwell on the threshold" AAN ZEE is currently based in Amsterdam.

2018 marks our first step into album territory, releasing the sophomore album 'High life' of Heist's very own Detroit Swindle, to be released end of May. This single features the album cut 'Flavourism' with vocals from Seven Davis Jr. Here, the single is presented with remixes by the amazing Pépé Bradock and Boston-to-NYC house duo John Barera & Will Martin.
Flavourism is as much a throwback track to classic Detroit Swindle territory, as it is a look into their contemporary view on soulful deep house. The vibe is set by Seven Davis Jr.'s distinctive vocals, accompanied by warm 'side-chained' pads and a rubbery live synth-bassline. Fans of 'The Wrap Around' will definitely feel a nod to that 2012 classic with those Prophet pads. If you've seen their live performance with Seven Davis Jr. during Dour festival in 2015 or heard their remix for SDJ's track 'Friends' on Classic Music Company, you might already anticipate a collaboration that works like a charm.
When deciding on a remixer for this project, the boys wanted to do something special. Ask someone special. And so it happened that they asked Pépé Bradock: someone who stood at the root of European house music and has pioneered in the genre, carefully curating his own style into something that surpasses genres. Here, he delivers both a stunning and deep interpretation of the original, with added harmonies, a touch of lo-fi and his own signature electronics. On top comes the 'acapella', stripped from all percussion and leaving the vocal and all of Pépé's lovely weirdness.
The single further features US house duo John Barera & Will Martin, who have already released some amazing music on Dolly, or John's own ' Supply records'. Not surprisingly, they deliver a great clubby house cut with some Chicago flavour, dubbing and out the vocal to a basic mantra: 'I'll always keep'.
Keep an eye out for High Life out soon with more collaborations. For now, please enjoy Flavourism.
Best Regards,
Heist Recordings.

After offering-up Paratrooper as part of DJ Tennis' recent DJ Kicks, the Israeli duo Red Axes arrive on Life and Death for an original EP. Sami is a post-Moondog Shamanic tribal trip, while Round combines dilapidated Post-Goa electronics with just the right amount of cowbells and guitars psych. Vego is a lo-if western spaghetti full of Tape delays and amplifiers sauce , while Pulse waves and wind blows on a big Russian bell at the title track Kalacol. A record that could only come from Niv and Dori - another reconfiguration of the Life and Death mausoleum.

DISCLOSURE return with brand-new single for the summer featuring Malian musician, Fatoumata Diawara.
Limited single-sided 12´´.

NYC's Disco powerhouse West End Records should need no intro. The home of too-numerous-to-list club classics for over 30+ years is still impacting today on what we know to be club culture. The label started by one Mel Cheren (RIP) with assistance from Larry Levan and more way back in 1976 is still held in such high regard today with it's catalogue constantly being played, rediscovered, reinterpreted and loved by waves and waves of new fans and admirers.

From the West End vaults we are pleased to present Ednah Holt's 'Serious, Sirius Space Party', a thundering, slo-mo, bass-heavy slab of NYC electronic funk that will sound familiar to those who paid close attention to what the maestro Larry Levan was doing in his sacred booth at the Garage in 1981, or to those who tuned in to peep what the master Afrika Islam was doing on his now semi-religious, hip-hop blueprint 'Zulu Beat Show' on WHBI. That's right, you can guarantee if those 2 guys were playing your record in the city at the same time then you had an underground 'hit' on your hands. The fact that it crossed over from the discotheques to the streets and back again speaks of the appeal of this super heavyweight jam, the legendary team up of Kenton 'Kenix' Nix, Larry himself on the mix, and former Ritchie Family vocalist Ednah Holt makes for some heady listening. One for the after hours dancers, B-Boys and B-Girls and lovers of the downtempo workout. A true and essential NYC classic.

All tracks featured re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released with the permission of and in conjunction with West End Records, New York City / BMG.

The debut vinyl only release on the newly established KOD (Keep on Dancing) Records embodies the spirit of multiple day long sessions held at the revered Can Chou Chou house in Ibiza, where anything goes from Disco to Techno (in this case the former prevails) so long as it's played tastefully and at the right time. No title and no artist name appears on on this single, just the music speaking for itself.

SCL003 is friends, love and house cuts to make people dance. New blend of 4 tracks! Side A with GZZ "Doggystyle", filter deep mélody and
dirty drums on the edge of Broken Beat. Massive Disco track "Nighty Part" by Two Many Cars (De La Groove Records), French duo producer and owners of
" Vinyl Dealer" vinyl shop based in Lille. Lotche starts the Side B with "Tony!", fat old school house cuts, vocal soul loop and a touch of sax.
And to finish, a real deep house track "Thousands Cats Island" produced by a young French talent named Basi (Def Raw Music Concept).

INC. DIMITRI FROM PARIS, NORMAN JAY & TODD TERJE EDITS!

TK Disco - THE Miami disco and boogie label, dominated throughout the 1970's and 1980's with back to back classics revered by dancers and disc jocks alike.

As part of the MOTHER RECORDINGS family, Berlin-based SUPERLOVER has supplied several outstanding works, such as 'Steam', 'Stronger' (a remix of the Boris Dlugosch Original), 'Love Me' and his summer 2015 anthem 'Love Machine'. 2017 has started with a bang as 'Heart Drive' hit Beatport House Chart at #2. Here, once again, he's supplying absolute fire with a 3-track House EP called 'Piano Wunder'.

'Piano Wunder' is a full frontal assault using house music's favourite instrument, and here, Superlover delivers some energy raising stabbed-chords alongside a whaling female lead vocal to create the tension and release of big room proportions.

'Good Times' rolls out with a hugely emotive, filtered houser, a big, bold nod to the game-changing 00s sound. The chopped-to-bits piano sample is wrapped in phaser and filter effects but it, together with additional strings and a chunky electro house beat, make this an impressive modern take of a bygone sound that will so easily seduce dance floors big and small.

Superlover´s '1996 ' track lights up the dancefloor from the very first beat. He adds to his super funky French House tune a lot of breathing space, slowing things down and filtering and affecting it in all the right places. It makes for a flirtatious work of a classic House tune that'll keep the dancefloor burning all night long.

MOTHER RECORDINGS welcome back esteemed Berlin duo MAT.JOE for another EP that is packed with real heat. Originally from Hannover, they moved to Berlin and have since impressed with their soul infused rhythms on plenty of top labels like Hot Creations & Aaarival, but they are regularly supplying the heat for MOTHER!

LOVE STREAM is first and is a seven minute bubbler with nice loose toms, driving sub bass and classic vocal samples that will get dancers moving and shaking. It's warm and filled with good time vibes.

I GO is more physical, with raw drums and sharp percussive hits all driving along beneath a male vocal with real attitude. It's sleazy and direct and sure to make you sweat. Last of all.

SO HIGH is a big track with powerful drum loops, slapping hits and a fiery vocal that all come with healthy bass and rubbery drums. It's a great way to close out another perfectly functional and fun EP from these ever on point producers.

The first release on The Golden Filter's brand new label, 4GN3S (pronounced 'Agnes') is The Golden Filter 'Talk Talk Talk', along with three remixes. The original version first appeared as Dixon's closing track at the beginning of the summer. The Golden Filter channeled the artists they grew up listening to in the 80s - Siouxsie, Human League, The Glove, Talk Talk, New Order, Xymox, Lene Lovich, and Cabaret Voltaire all wrapped up into one perfect analog dance pop song, but with it's heavy beat, it completely works on the dance floor as much as in the headphones. LA's Cooper Saver (DFA, Permanent Vacation, ESP Institute) provides the dance floor fire with his absolute banger of a remix. The very first play for this was by Avalon Emerson at Coachella '18, then it went on to get rinsed all summer by Ben UFO, A^me, Dixon, Roi Perez, Moxie, Hunee, Marvin & Guy, Job Jobse, Fort Romeau, B. Traits, Solomun, and more. It's pretty much been proven impossible to stay still when the breakbeats kick in! Fantastic Twins (Hippie Dance / Optimo Music), is the guise of Julienne Dessagne, originally from Paris and now based in Berlin. She provides a tripped out rework that forays into unexpected twists and turns, but still retains her trademark analog psychedelic dancefloor vibes. Kasper Bjørke (hfn, Eskimo, Correspondant) teams up with Colder (Output) for an epic take on Talk Talk Talk, following up their collaborative EP on Throne Of Blood. Minimal and hypnotic, dubbed out vocal snippets fly in and out of a one- note entrancing bassline in this strung out 10-plus minute remix.

More Bold And Brash Sickness From Gay Marvine. It Just Gets More Perverted When You Think About Every Song From A Red Hanky Perspective. A Side = Pure Disco And Deep Funk Reshaped As Tools For Today. B Side = Total Cult Classics Revisioned To Devastate Any Dance Floor.

For the first album on brokntoys, Rory McPike (Rings Around Saturn, Bleekman, 2200, Pickleman) puts the hammer down with a double pack of abstract and dancefloor excursions.

Oozing style, the Melbourne producer showcases a singular talent over 11 tracks, bridging frazzled new wave & pulsating techno via claustrophobic electronics.

Equally at home dragging bodies on to the floor (classy IDM-nodder 'Automatic Memory') as keeping them throbbing till sunrise (early-morning highlight 'Pulp Tech'), BT30 deftly connects the varied threads laid out by McPike over his previous EPs for Forbidden Planet, Unthank & Analogue Attic.

Crucially never feeling strained during its steps through styles, there's plenty here for the DJs and herbally-minded home-listening enthusiasts alike. One to sink into... 300 copies.

Support by: Kraak & Smaak, DJ Sneak, Alexander Barck (Jazzanova)...

Danish producer and Regelbau family member Forte follows up his outstanding debut album Techne with a four track EP on ØEN REC. Transcending the traditional divide between dance and contemplation Away is a trip through tropical jungles and starry nights traversing effortlessly through meditative soundscapes, lush ambient house and rhythmic explorations.

On Away Forte cultivates soundscapes placed firmly between the body and the abstract, each track a testament to Forte's deep interest in sound design and sound textures, balancing drum machines and synths with percussion and swirling organic sounds.

Gnawa is a uniquely Moroccan sound with roots in Islam and links to a healing ritual called Lila (Arabic for night).
From this heritage comes Innov Gnawa, the only New York-based Gnawa group made from Moroccan natives, led by the Mâalem (Master) Hassan Ben Jaâfer.

Copenhagen's Tartelet continues its 10 th anniversary with another an EP in their Limited Edition Series. This one finds Glenn Astro serving up five exclusive tracks on the 12". The EP takes inspiration from Keith Haring's celebrated Crack is Wack mural in New York, which was a reaction to the drug epidemic of the time. Only 250 copies will be released worldwide.

In a short space of time, Glenn Astro has cooked up his own unique musical world. He has released full-lengths on Ninja Tune alongside Max Graef, and recently on Apollo Rec, sister label of R&S, in conjunction with Hodini.

The opener 'Crack Is Wack' is a loose and live sounding jam with warm synth chords, alternating 808 drumpatterns and breaks. It has a celebratory feel as expressive keys and walking basslines take turns to take the lead and move things forwards. The feel good 'Der Langweiler' is a much slower and loveably lazy joint, incorporating a cosmic 808 drum groove mixed with arpeggiated Wurlizer chords and a grooving e-bassline sinking you deep into the late night groove.

On the flip and switching up the vibe again is 'Der Maschine', which has frazzled electronic synths next to wooden hits and a playfully distorted drum machine to make for something that brims and bristles with dance floor energy in inventive new ways.

'Boring Times On Beleuse Five' is a tripped out sci-fi track with percolating drums and heavenly chords. It's sparse and dynamic but with a compelling rhythm. 'Discomania' is an exclusive and vinyl-only cover version of Piero Umiliani's eponymous electronic disco classic, is a gorgeously spaced out disco instrumental with expressive keys, drums and percussion all adding up to something impossibly infectious.

This is another remarkable EP of effortlessly fused sounds, showcasing Glenn's new steps exploring cosmic and electronically driven aesthetics.

Nova Gain Records returns with the purple side of disco life. Mr. Konfuze deliverers a funky nu-disco anthem with big beat-ish drums, soulful vocals and massive dancefloor bass. Colour up your dj bag musically and physically and get one of these limited 7 Inches!

nother 12" EP from the depths of the Glasgow underground. Unique, organic, mind expanding...


"MR TC' aka Thomas Clarke is a DJ and musician based in Glasgow. Another affiliate of the city's prolific Green Door studio, he has immersed himself in the city's electronic music scene since arriving 6 years ago, running the Night of the Jaguar parties out of the Art School and DJing around the city.

His music and DJ sets encompass Left-field Disco, Tropical Oddity, House and Techno whilst channelling the spirit of a youth spent playing in psychedelic rock bands in Luxembourg, listening to krautrock and worshipping Lou Reed and David Bowie.

He is currently working on a live show to coincide with the release of his debut EP, entitled 'Soundtrack for Strangers,' which is due out on Optimo Music in November."

The 4th edition in the acclaimed Sterns Edits series sees curator Ben Gomori open up the Sterns Music catalogue to other keen re-editors — with Brownswood / Worldwide genius SMBD (aka Simbad) the first to step up to the plate.

Nigeria's Segun Adewale is sometimes referred to as the 'crown prince' of jùjú music, but in the 1980s he developed a sound all of his own, which he called yo-pop. A mixture of jùjú, funk, reggae, Afrobeat and jazz, its vibrant melange can be heard on his 1986 record 'Ojo Je', where both these originals are taken from. SMBD delivers too superb flips of the title track — a gritty funk-fuelled 'Disco' version with live bass, and a deliciously deep dub-house version. Gomori, meanwhile, takes the haunting 'Atewo-Lara Ka Tepa Mo'se' for an extended hypnotic, tribal trip.

The stunning artwork comes from Kofi Ankobra, the son of radical white South Africans who grew up in Ghana and studied art at Oshogbo, Nigeria — the place Adewale himself was born.

Sterns Edits is an official collaboration between African music stalwarts Sterns Music and London's Ben Gomori.
