I'm going to go

Well peeps, winter's arriving and from next week the mytea@om crew are decamping to Europe for 4 months, so it will be a little slow around here for a while. The crew are takin' up the very generous offer of a Vdub campervan for the duration.Heading south from Rott'dam to the delights of Tuscany-Umbria, Milan to spend xmas, the mountains of Piedmonte for new year, along the beaches of the French Riviera, back up west-side to Breton and coast it all the way back to the land of the Nethers....That sounds exhausting just typing it...well we'll see how it goes, so for the time being, here's a bit of old-school early analog bass, discofied house for ya!....still sounding phat after 25 years. A remix from da house GodMaster Frankie Knuckles on Italian label FullTime Records....Hopefully get a couple of more bits up for ya before we offski!

Città Londra

Dug out from the depths of the chest of unreleased gems from Jahtari's NET-7 label is this highly addictive vocal cut by El Fata on the so called "Survivor" riddim, recently appearing on Soom T's cracking "Dirty Money EP" A lyrical document from the dark days of Babbling Bush & Liar Blair, an intense tune with a powerful message, unstoppable flow and El Fata's ultra-sweet harmony treatment is bound to win hearts, minds and mash up the dance. Disrupt strips the tune down on da Bside inna bare version of the riddim...big up LDN!

Time Has Come

Is lifted from the "same monkeys different zoo EP" released by Germany's Moodmusic label from the album of the same name, by berlin/hamburg duo Penner & Muder. Nice slick deep house production with a classic deep soulful/pop vocal and burning synth stabs...The time has come, wonderful!

Around 3/4 Time

Feel to share more of that Sunday all day jazz session at mytea@om HQ, when the kids are away the cats come out to play so to speak, something for REAL JAZHEDZ. The Jazz Quintet-60's groove is very similar to that of the Legendary Jazz Messengers. An ultra-hip Danish combo with players, Bent Axen on piano, Allan Botschinsky on trumpet, Niels Husum on tenor, Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen on bass, and Bjarn Rostvold on drums...The Original LP is a bit of a rarity these days...Enjoy!

Boys and Girls..

Have been listening to loads of jazz today and this has kept playing intermediately throughout..From the famed 'When Eight Bells Toll' director Etienne Périer's film “Des Garçons et des Filles” An obscure flick chronicling a pre 1968 attempt at commune life by a group of societies disillusioned youth..The soundtrack is right on point composed by French pianist and jazz drummer Errol Parker, with the help of a young Jean-Michel Jarre. It's the title track we visit in all it's jazzscat flava courtesy of the vocal talents of Rozza Wortham. Her velvety harmonies floating throughout the impulsion of rhythm. A true jazz dancefloor classic.

Pleaze mugwanti

Well just couldn't resist this after indulging in the traditional japanese Bon Odori festivities last week and taking in the rhythms of the TAIKO drums. Lifted from the kwaito house LP 'Ayobaness-The Sound of South African House', showcasing the South African production styles of Pastor Mbhobho, Aero Manyelo, DJ Steavy and on this tune by DJ Mujava. Out Here Records put the best 4 tracks on an EP, with this infectious brukbeat roller 'Mugwanti/Sgwejegweje' the stand out cut that found it's way into many global dj set's, the most notable being Kode9's mix for DJ-Kicks. Loving it up large... Killer!

Man Of Experience And Wisdom

Staying with some afrocentric electronica on Richard Sen's mixed blood cuts label, that dropped back in April. We're checking the talented Brazilian composer, arranger, multi-instrumentist, Pedro Zopelar's edit of Mulatu Astatke's 'Yekermo Sew'. Lifted from the french world music label Buda Musique's compilation 'Ethiopiques, Vol. 4', sure many of you have seen the Jim Jarmusch film 'broken flowers' you'll recognise this...Zopelar constructs an infectious percussive house groove without spoiling the essence of the original piece...one for naturalizum...summer sweetness!

Dynamo

Is from respected spanish producer Pablo Bolivar dropping a limited edition 5 track vinyl EP on Galaktika Records. Loving this right now, i'm particularly feeling the 'Wood City' track where Bolivar takes his rhythm on a journey of deep sonic feelings with smooth vocals and heavy baselines. But here we delve into the first remix from one of the main men in the Bpitch Control family. Here Kiki goes for a classic remix that keeps the groove flowing throughout the entire 7 minutes, where he serves up delicious dubby synths as a main dish, while adding some rice percussions to it and delivering us an incredible funky Tech House tune for the summer. Get it!

Baila Chibiquiban!

Still fancy a little bit of afro-tinged grooves to finish the week..Lifted from the "Ritual" LP recorded in the early 70's by Nico Gomez on the Omega International label, a very tasty and tight selection of afro-cuban, funkiness at it's finest....Very rare the original and the re-issue by Lupita records in 2005 was limited to only 500 copies......deeep!!!

So that's it for another 4 years, a bit of an anti-climax the footie world cup final but congrats to Espana for prevailing in difficult circumstances, namely the negative tactics of the Oranje...The best team won, and football as a whole won...We're not anti-climaxing, carrying on with a monster re-edit although a nice cheeky one from the man xxxy, out of Manchester, UK, his influences range from UKfunky, Dub, House and Techno, but here is delves into the afrobeat of the Black President himself. Sure to smash a dancefloor anywhere!....nJoy!

Let Down..

Something we'll be dropping into a forthcoming mixtape a future UKfunky soul classic if you ask me..Recently dropped on Paul Rose's brilliant Hotflush imprint..George Fitzgerald has been compared to a few other London producers such as Joy Orbison, unfairly in my opinion and this lacks nothing in the quality department with syncopated upright bass and humid synths  'the let down' just keeps on giving' us warm melodies throughout....excellente!
