Dub Store Sampler Vol One

It's been a while...You know what women are like about sharing the baby duties!
Sorry Ladies..Anyway the always prolific Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae and Dancehall reissue label outta TKO, Japan.  DubStore have recently offered up a great old-school roots reggae sampler from their archives for 3ree or name your own price if fancy dropping some coinage for the tunage....Well it worth it in my humble opinion.



 

Sue

Bowie tune with longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, will be released on his career-spanning compilation, Nothing Has Changed, which contains hits and previously unreleased tracks from his 50-year career. The comp will also feature three previously unreleased tracks from Bowie's sessions for his abandoned Toy album, which was to find him remaking his earliest Sixties and Seventies recordings...great stuff!

Tangata

Is a new collection of beats & cut-ups from French producer/beatsmith Jaze Baqti.
The 'Tangata' which he says means People in the Māori language. There’s an old Māori proverb saying : "He aha te mea nui? He tangata. He tangata. He tangata." which can be translate by "What is the most important thing? It is people, it is people, it is people.”

Inspired by all the places he visits around the globe from US, NZ, JP, he manages to slice together awesome seventies soundtracks, jazz funk loops around psyche guitar, funky keys and mesmerising soulful voices...We are partially addicted to the uptempo Instru 'Rue Tul' all for a name your own price D/L...Generous!

Get on the Floor

Back in the Bloggergame with Kon's rework of MJ's Classic 'Get on the Floor' . The man has been digging in tha crates since the 70's, unearthing lost gems to be messed about with. You'll know him as one half of Kon and Amir, who released  “On Track” and “Off Track” series on BBE Records where they introduced disco rare grooves to a new audience. Here he smashes the daylights out of this rework...Back with a bang as they say!
