With Spank Rock's Big Dada debut officially blowing the fuck up, Aaron LaCrate and Amanda Blank take it all the way back to last year with this CD single featuring remixes of "Blow," the hottest joint off of Milkcrate's B-More Gutter Music...
expand review mix. The main, unblended mix of "Blow(1)" (which was co-produced by LaCrate and B-More legends Debonair Samir and Scottie B) was never released on CD, so it's dope to have a clean digital version, but that's just the tip of the iceberg here– you also get remixes from 45 King(2), Hollertronix's Low Bee(3) and DJ Equalizer(4). Amanda Blank's "Get Um Gerl(5)" is included here too, another standout from the Gutter Music mix. Of course, the real reason you wanna cop this is to hear NYC bunny/promoter extraordinaire Oxy Cottontail's debut on the mic for "Oxy's Anthem." No sound sample for you! Cop this and hear for yourself. 8 tracks total. -Chris Lemon-Red

Now available on CD! Cosmic jazz stunner. This is one of those upper-crust albums that easily holds down a spot in any seasoned selector's late night top ten - it's simply that timeless. From the first swirls of the title track(1), this...
expand review thing just carries you away - probably the closest legal thing to a big bong hit of Cali power skunk there is. Each tune is built on a different hypnotic string bass groove that bores into your mind. "Shiva-Loka(2)," "Stopover Bombay(3)," it's your pick. The tamboura (that's the metallic buzz that signals exotica in any B-movie) never lets up, and when Alice Coltrane flings some harp over it (or piano, in the case of "Something About John Coltrane(4)"), you've got a powerful mystic brew indeed. Recommended. -monk

This is a reissue of Ananda Shankar's 1981 album which until this point was only available as a highly sought-after India-only release. If you liked the mixture of Indian textures and the breakthrough funk-rock moments on Shankar's classic "And His Music"...
expand review album, this is a straight continuation. The album begins with the epic, 10 minute "Sa-Ra-Ga Machan(1)" which goes through several abstract movements before hitting the funk at the 6:20 mark. "Jungle King(2)" is the centerpiece for dusty heads, it starts off innocently, but transforms into a monster psyche jam with an uptempo percussion tail. Also checkout the demented, downtempo-ish "Monkey's Tea Party(3)" and the Indian surf rock sounds of "Charging Tiger(4)." This reissue also includes 4 bonus tracks from Ananda's even-rarer India Remembers Elvis EP, which was released in 1978 to commemorate the death of the King. These songs are kitschy covers of Elvis classics like the a deliciously mellow version of "Can't Help Falling In Love(5)" and a rumbling take on "His Latest Flame(6)." 14 tracks in all. -the mgmnt

The Revola label is on top of its game with their Brazilian reissue CDs (Edu Lobo, Son Imaginario, etc). This is the last album Astrud Gilberto released on Verve, and because of the dynamics of the time (she released 3 albums in...
expand review 1969, Brazilian craze was dying down), it got buried in the shuffle and has practically earned the "lost" status (you rarely see it on vinyl). What is interesting about this particular album is it finds our songstress departing from her bossa past, and doing the pop-rock-kitsch thing. Purists might scoff, but with that sweet voice and some funky-esque backing, how can you go wrong? "Beginnings(1)" is quite an introduction to the album with its crisp, breakbeaty jazz backing and Astrud's fresh sound. If you're a fan of "Light My Fire" covers, you definitely have to check the version(2) here; it's all about Astrud's delivery. The other upbeat songs here include a surprising cover(3) of the Bee Gee's "Holiday" and "Let's Go(4)," the only track here that hints of bossa. The second half of the album slows down with ballad-esque tracks like the Beatles cover "Here There and Everywhere(5)," the perfectly poppy "Think of Rain(6)," and Nilson's "Don't Leave Me Baby(7)." It gets a little sappy at times, but just imagine Astrud is in your room, and you're straight. 11 tracks in all. -the mgmnt

expand review crazy Weezy / Black Sabbath mash). Bird's production skills are top notch, and he really lets 'em loose on this album, tossing so many styles in the mix (dubstep, electro, Baltimore, etc.) that you'll be too busy rewinding to notice the dearth of uncleared samples. (Okay, he does get away with a nasty Mohawks bite on "Junkyard Champ(1)"...) Peterson's also got some MCs backing him up this time: Philly crew 215 the Freshest Kids wrecks on "Broke The Block(2)," and Mugsy Flowz (ha ha) out of San Antonio pops up a few times, sounding best on the speedy "Bills(3)." Also worth checking: the 8-bit thumper "Nerdout Wizard Music 1978(4)." In addition to the 10 album tracks, you get five bonus cuts, all remixes, from the likes of Ninja Tune's Yppah(5), Vyle, Beeper City, Cousin Cole(6) and Vex One. 15 tracks; 64 minutes. -Larri Byrd

Bonde do Role are officially the biggest thing to ever come out of Curitiba, Brazil (except maybe Wanderlei Silva). The Diplo-produced "Gasolina(1)" is gonna be on their debut LP this Spring on Domino / Mad Decent, but we figured it was about...
expand review time they had something proper for DJs. It wasn't intended this way, but the CD is a nice overview of where Mad Decent is at right now. The original "Gasolina" (which Diplo stretched out for the bonus beats and extended 12" mix) is easily the catchiest track Bonde's come out with yet; somehow it came together in one afternoon with Marina and Diplo collaborating on the lyrics. Unruly Records' Scottie B & King Tutt represent the Mid-Atlantic with a textbook Bmore remix(2) (nevermind that these dudes wrote the textbook…). Buraka Som Sistema slay on their mix(3), fusing their Kuduro styles with Bonde's bastard funk (and it's even got a verse from one of the best young MCs out right now, Petty). London transplants Radioclit round this thing out with a vicious electro rework(4) which has already been getting some UK radio burn. That wolf on the sticker pretty much says it all. Obviously recommended! -Chris Lemon-Red

LAB EXCLUSIVO! While supplies last, all orders will receive a promo-only 7" of BDR's new single, "Office Boy," featuring remixes from CSS and Architecture In Helsinki! The vinyl version of With Lasers will be released in a few weeks.
To say that Bonde...
expand review Do Role's debut has been "long-awaited" would be a huge understatement. It's been 2 years since we dropped their first EP on Mad Decent and the kids are all grown up now, migrated over to Domino and swapped out message board love for NME praise. The band probably recorded 40 demos for this album, but the final product is a streamlined beast with just 12 tracks, clocking in at 30 minutes. Really, when's the last time you heard an album where every track could be a single? The Diplo-produced "Solta O Frango(1)" and "Gasolina(2)" are here, and so's the new single, "Office Boy(3)" (stupid fun - "buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-boy"). But what you know about "Quero Te Amar(4)," with the heavy vocoder action and throwback Miami bass beat from the Lab's own Eggfooyoung? Or the evil metal opener/closer combo, "Danca do Zumbi(5)" and "Bondallica(6)," with Chernobyl from Comunidade Nin-Jitsu SHREDDING on those finger-tapping guitar solos? London production duo Radioclit even turn in a couple tracks: the kazoo-driven "Geremia(7)" and chopped-up electro-baile "Divine Gosa(8)." All this is to say nothing of the amazingly fun vocals that Marina, Pedro and Gorky provide. I read an article this morning comparing them to Brazil's Tropicalia artists of the 60s/70s, and while I don't know if that's totally on point (Marina would Manic Panic her hair before she put flowers in it), there's something important going on behind all this silliness. Do I even have to say... Recommended. -Chris Lemon-Red

expand review powerful mage and we're all quickly falling under her spell. If those releases weren't powerful enough, they go ahead and give us the NIGHT DRIVE SOUNDTRACK! Whether this is a real soundtrack to a movie is unclear, and frankly, I don't give a damn. Sure it would be awesome to see the beautiful Ruth Radelet starring in a film, but I'm just happy to hear more of her music. "Night Drive(1)" is the only track I've seen appear on another comp. That means 9 tracks of all new material! Sweet for you (and me -Ed.). Now you have tons of new music to make-out to. The cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill(2)" is an awesome slow burner especially good for the fireplace, while "Healer(3)" and "Tomorrow Is So Far Away(4)" brings the beat to the heat for that extra bump. The saucy synthwork with Ruth's poetic vocals is magically seductive and will have you demanding multiple listens. And just in case you're not in the mood for words, there's the instrumentals "I Want Your Love(5)" and "Let's Make This A Moment To Remember." Sounds like Smokey Robinson singles? Not quite, but they are smokey for sure. Highly Recommended. -C'mish

expand review in Europa, professionally remastered and issued in a strictly limited edition (500 hand-numbered copies each for CD and vinyl). Early tracks like "Festival Divino(1)" have a sweet acid/folk boogie feel, buoyed (or maybe lifted) by Rita e Lucia's breathy dual vocals. Meanwhile the latter part of the record lets loose a bit with Cilibrinas' rock tendencies - check the rollicking garage glam sound on "Nessas Alturas Dos Acontecimentos(2)," zippy girl group vibes with "Minha Fama De Mau(3)," and "Gente Fina E Outra Colsa(4)." And for Mutantes fans, there's a nice treat in the form of two unreleased bonus outtakes, "Hoje E O Primero Dia Do Resto...(5)" and "Mande Um Abraco Para A Velha(6)." 12 tracks, 48 minutes. -Chris Lemon-Red

Over at the top secret Mad Decent HQ, we got LOTS of shit cooking for the near future – but none of it was quite ready yet by the time we hit the road for the Diplo / Bonde do Role /...
expand review CSS tour this summer. Solution? We contacted PH and the Money Studies mafia and worked up a likkle collab to hold people over 'til the winter. The tracklist got a little wacky somewhere in the process, so when you're listening to this and going "Sweet goddamn, what is this??" be sure to come back to this review for the answer, 'cause I'm about to give ya the lowdown. First up, we got a pair of mixes that Diplo originally released via iTunes: they're the namesake of the compilation, and Mad Decent Radio is no joke. Conceived as "NPR for the streets," the first mix focuses on Baltimore and the second on New Orleans, and both combine the music of the region with interviews from key players in the scenes. (It's hard to explain without hearing, but trust me, it's cool.) Next up is A-Trak's remix of Bonde do Role's "Melo do Tabaco(1)" – DID YOU KNOW HE IS KANYE WEST'S DJ? WELL, HE IS. Here's where the confusion comes in: Dama Estrela's "Tipicou(2)" got left off the tracklist by accident, which really sucks 'cause it's a FIREBALL of a kuduru track. Then we got the new Diplo production – the upcoming Jungle Fever Riddim – with Dr. Evil (aka Leftside) providing the vocals for "Mary Jane(3)." Diplo adds some effects and rewinds to Wilcannia Mob's "Downriver(4)" for the Mad Decent edit – if you ain't heard these kids, you gotta. Aboriginal rap from like 9 and 10 year old kids in Australia, and they burn the house down. The other unlisted track on here is a top secret sneaky preview of Bonde do Role's next single, "Gasolina(5)." That's all I'm saying – you'll be hearing more about that one soon enough. Just like the first series of Money Studies mixtapes, this is a one-time limited pressing, so buy now or cry later. Remember when you slept on the Second Cousins CD?? -Chris Lemon-Red

Ed Motta became an R&B star in Brazil at the age of 17 when his debut album was released in 1988. The nephew of 70s funk master Tim Maia, he is a multi-instrumentalist and composer with very refined tastes and influences. This...
expand review is partly due to the fact that he's one of Brazil's most notorious record collectors, aware of Brazilian music in all its sundry shapes and forms as well as possessing a wealth of knowledge of soul, jazz and everything else diggers around the world go nuts over. Although he's been responsible for a fair number of hits, his eclecticism and expansive tastes have often put him at odds with Brazil's record industry and marketplace. Apparently, he's too "sophisticated" for many. This hasn't kept him from doing exactly what his inspiration dictates, perfect example being this daring and beautiful album consisting almost entirely of instrumentals. "Dwitza" is like a digger's love letter to the crates, filled with references to everybody from Deodato to Roy Ayers, Gamble & Huff to Jorge Ben, James Mason to Steely Dan to Jobim to Herbie Hancock and beyond. Check out "Sus-Tenta(1)," for example, a funk tune built entirely on those jazzed-out chord changes you always wish would go on longer than they usually do. And "Linduria(2)" has a great Steely Dan feel that I'm sure D. Fagen would approve of. "Amalgasantos(3)" is a Bobby Hutcherson-style exercise with a delicious vibes solo. "Coisas Naturais(4)" is a smooth, melodic track whose melody is highly reminiscent of Brazilian digger favorites Joao Donato and Marcos Valle, both of whom the track is dedicated to. It's great to see a guy who loves old records so much get the opportunity (and have the talent) to create one based on all the bits he likes the best. Although this is labeled as his "personal" album, due to the fact that instrumental music just does not sell in Brazil, the fact of the matter is that virtually all of Ed's 7 albums display qualities similar to those found here, and all of them make the majority of US so-called "neo-soul" releases sound pretty weak. After hearing this LP, you'll definitely want to seek out more of Ed Motta's work. -gregcaz

expand review to come DJ at our small east village shop. This is his greatest hits collection from 1989 (peep the benzo-coupe steez) and comfortably falls into the category of "fucking electro essential." Not only that, when Egyptian Lover put this together, he picked his favorite mixes from the singles, so you're getting full 12" mixes or 12" dub versions. Of course, you gotta have the 12" version of "Egypt Egypt(1)." The 12" dub mix(2) of "Freak-A-Holic" is a huge score, and by all accounts, this was track that brought the house down at his show at Studio B. The Dub Mix(3) of "Girls" is begging for a revival, I totally forgot about how dope this song was until EL played it at our store. You even get "Alezby Inn" (Remodeled Vocal Version)(4), one of EL's more pop-like moments. I could probably name-check ever song on here, but I'll just leave you with "My House On The Nile(5)" and you'll know why he's called The Egyptian Lover. 8 tracks total. -the mgmnt

Group Doueh play raw and unfiltered Saharawi music from the former colonial Spanish outpost of the Western Sahara. Doueh (pronounced "Doo-way") is their leader and a master of the electric guitar. His sound is distorted, loud and unhinged with an impressive display of virtuosity and style only known in this part of the world. His wife Halima and friend Bashiri are the two vocalists in the group. Sahrawi songs are from the sung poetry of the Hassania language. The music is based on the same modal structure as Mauritanian music, however, Doueh's style is a looser appropriation infused with a Western guitar scope, one that relies, in his words, as much on Hendrix as it does traditional Sahrawi music." If you're having a hard time getting your brain around what that all sounds like, just check these: "Cheyla Ya Haiuune(1)," "Wazan Samat(2)," "Tirara(3)," "Fagu(4)," "Sabah Lala(5)." 8-panel booklet included with rare color photos from Doueh's archives. 8 tracks; 40 minutes. -Chris Lemon-Red
