Lauren : Stuck On You (So Shifty Mix)
:
7" = £5.99 In Stock

New school soul or classic reggae styles? This is so good it could sit in both camps. Lauren croons beautifully over a dope reggae rhythm. Not available in many shops, the Fat City crew have got this from one of their special sources, don’t sleep!

Lauren Pritchard is a Tennessee-born singer/songwriter decamped to West London. Her brand of 1970’s country-soul is top notch and So Shifty take it to the next level with their dub/lovers production. This could easily match Amy Winehouse on one of her Ska days or a classic production from 1970’s . Vocal on one side, dub version on the flip.

On the flip possessor of one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century, Sarah Vaughan, who ranked alongside Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the very top echelon of female jazz singers. "Mystery Of Man" is based on the poetry of Pope John Paul II. Taken from the album "Let It Live" this edit is mystical and beautiful with sections of Sarah Vaughan's vocal combined with some seriously dope jazzy hip hop drums giving the track extra flavour for the club.

Mounam and Trevor : What Needs Mama
France : Favourite
7" = £6.99 In Stock
Originally from Cameroon, Mounam is the female entity in The Dynamics, Lyon's top reggae dub soul band. Since 1991, she's been a true student of live music, and has shared her learnings by participating on projects with Slovo Nommo, MJA, Nutropic or Mr President. Mounam is now sharing her first 45" with the world, called "What Needs Mama". A collaboration with the groove-funk band Trevor & Lisa, this track bubbles with Afro-Soul, making it only too irresistible on the dance floor. On B side, here is the sensual and hypnotic remix version of Dwilt Sharpp.

The Qualitons : Mellbimbo / Kulmi
: Tramp Records
7" = £5.49 In Stock
Mellbimbo, the title track of the Qualitons' second 7-inch on Tramp, is a stone-cold killer from beginning to end. The band members show once again their skills on each instrument, especially Matyas Premecz gets down on the organ. For this recording they assembled a bright, tight horn section whose arrangement is clearly influenced by the psychedelic and afro-sounds of the1970s.

The Underbelly Ft.Roxie Ray : I Keep Heading On

Joy Orbison : The Shrew Would Have Cushioned EP
UK : Aus
12" = £8.49 In Stock
Believe the hype. The level of Messiah-esque praise heaped on Joy Orbison for last year's 'Hyph Mngo' might have been OTT, but there's every sign the Croydon wunderkid will live up to it. Finding a fitting home on Will Saul's Aus, 'The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow' is another total headtrip. Drawing the lines between Orbital's most emotive electronica, Basic Channel's dub house and Martyn's synth-laden dubstep, it's still a sound that is unmistakably Orbison's, thanks to the feather-light ethereal ambience and cut-up vocals. The more two-steppy, cosmic bliss of 'So Derobe' is bass-bumped future soul cut with more ghostly Todd Edwards-style vocal mastery. A serious talent is upon us.

The Beatdown Soundmachine : Secret Service EP
UK : Sleazy Beats
12" = £7.99 In Stock
Opting again to keep the mid-tempo vibe harnessed tightly this new double A side has been lovingly crafted by an extremely talented yet somehow unknown Italian slow-disco wizard, The Beatdown Soundmachine. The Secret Service EP features two essential tunes for fans of the beatdown/low-slung disco vibe that clock in well below the 110 BPM mark. ‘Groove Is On My Mind’, and ‘More Love’ are two lovely tracks both heavily layered with the magic “remix” dust of LTJ X-Perience for good measure. It should go without saying that this is a recipe that fans of the Super Value Special Edit series will recognize and need in the bag. Both tracks have been mastered by The Revenge.

Tony Cook feat Dam Funk : What's on Your Mind?
USA : Stones Throw
12" = £6.99 In Stock
Tony Cook is best known as a longtime drummer for James Brown, but What's On Your Mind? marks a foray into the world of early 1980s boogie funk.

"Dam is surprising because be can spin those records," says Cook. "But he can sing as well. He put the icing on the cake."

Opensouls : Standing In The Rain
: Jakarta Records
CD = £10.99 In Stock
Standing in the Rain is Opensouls' terrifically accomplished sophomore album and well and truly solidifies their standing as one of the top-shelf New Zealand soul bands. It is a concept album, made with the intent to reflect the sound and feeling of a musical era; late-50s, early-60s British and American RnB. Inspiration was drawn from traditional songwriters such as Lennon and McCartney, Smokey Robinson, Holland / Dozier / Holland, and Van Morrison. Consequently, the album has an unmistakable vintage quality, reminiscent of Motown in its heyday. And while quite a few modern soul bands concentrate on reinterpreting old classics the Opensouls play only their own compositions.

From the aggressive flute intro to the high-end hammond work, it's close to a perfect arrangement of sounds that now seem lost in the computer age. The slightly more complex "You Can't Even Walk In The Park" calls in the classic 70's horns and swinging beat that revolutionized the musical era. So so so recommended!

DJ Premier : Rare Play Volume One
USA : Bare Fist
CD = £11.99 In Stock
Everybody knows DJ Premier is the best, not because of the countless classic albums he was a part of, but because EVERYTHING he did was dope. At some point, he must have realized that most people don't have every 12" and random album cut that he produced, so he started the Rare Play series. Contained within this CD are some of the best rare DJ Premier beats, as chosen by DJ Premier himself, and pu together in his usual slick style of juggling and scratchung (and of course that vocal ident over every mix). A great selection of classics and tracks you may have missed.

Dazzle : Dazzle
USA : De-Lite
Vinyl Album = £12.99 In Stock
Possibly the best disco LP of all time. A magical 6-track composition from the collective minds of Stan Lucas and Leroy Burgess. Each of them is responsible for 3 tracks each. Arguably, Stan Lucas delivers the killers with You Dazzle Me!, Walk Before You Run and It's Not The Same, which are all brilliant. But Burgess delivers 3 underrated disco-boogie stormers with All, Reaching and Slipped Disco with that unmistakable Burgess magic. There is not a duff track on this LP - every track is great, it's just down to the listener to define them between "amazing" and "brilliant". The polished production makes it up there with some of the great disco LPs.

Architeq : Gold
UK : Tirk
Double Album = £11.99 In Stock
Young, London based Scotsman Architeq (AKA Sam Annand) has made a lot of noise without actually releasing a lot of material since his debut Birds Of Prey EP on Tirk early last year. The odd well chosen remix aside, he's been burying himself in the studio making his debut album, while around him a slow, organic transatlantic buzz has been building as the blogs and download sites quietly people towards his unique brand of dubby, swingy, electronic funk. Green and Gold is that debut album and already a firm favourite at Fat City. Birds of Prey is of course included in all its' shimmering, glitched out glory. Into The Cosmos also dips it's toes into dubby waters, again with the crunchy off-beat drums, lush soulful strings and burbling soundscapes.

In addition to this, the Allstars have remixed their own track, notched up the tempo, and created some kind of electronic boom-bap, bass-heavy monster, demonstrating they can turn their hand to many different styles, much like their DJ sets.

Stezo : Freak The Funk
USA : Fresh
12" = £7.99 In Stock

An all time classic. From 1989 on the legendary Fresh Records label, this is Stezo's most dancefloor friendly track. Definitely one for the party rockin' DJ's out there. The track is an ultra funky late 80's sample heavy sleeper , based on Lafayette Afro-Rock Band's "Hihache" but with a chorus that mixes in a bit of new age electro bizness and prompts some hands in the air madness. At the time this was a seminal release. Essential piece for the collectors as well as the DJ's. Every hip hop home should have one!

FINALLY AVAILABLE ON VINYL. A soon to be classic, much like the El Michels Affair's Enter The 37th Chamber, this is next level beats and breaks. Taking classic Pete Rock productions and replaying them with extra swing and charm.

Mr Chop has a unique take on Pete Rock's classics and he gives us an album that “the heads” will recognize by, say, the Tom Scott sax-line Pete Rock poached for “T.R.O.Y.,” or a host of other sample-based calls and response that Chop has deconstructed into their component parts and reassembled again. But his is an album that will appeal to music lovers, regardless of their musical leaning, as a master-class in fuzzy, funky grooves.

Double Album = £14.99 In Stock
CD = £10.99 Out Of Stock
FINALLY ON REPRESS!! Onra's seminal project flew out when it was released 3 years ago. 'Chinoiseries' started it in August 2006, after he freshly returned from a trip to Vietnam, the land of his grandparents. The story goes that he is a vinyl junkie at heart, and really couldn't come back to France without bringing back some wax. After hours spent riding on a motorbike through the streets of Saigon, a taxi finally helped him find some Asian records. He uses the influences of those records to great effect here, creating a 32 track deep album.  After his killer 12-inch and the wicked track with Byron on the Beat Dimensions LP, this is well worth the wait...More goodness from Favourite!
