HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE - SAME
Raw & fresh jazz/funk/afro LP with a very particular sound and a horn section that moves mountains! Check the monstruous "Alyo", "Gibbous", "Sankofa" etc.

SELFMADE MILLIONAIRE - ROCKIN & POPPIN / HEADING FOR DEPRESSION
More quality disco to get down to, expertly reworked by the SMM. A-side gives Lee Alfred a much needed makeover while "Heading for depression" sounds quite opposite to what the title claims!

MR. CLEAN / SERATO CONTROL TONE - WHAT'S GOING ON
Reissue of very rare and very good version of Marvin's anthem. Curious B-side: a control tone for Serato 7" use!

LINDSTROM & PRINS THOMAS
New Lindstrom & PT album over 4 LPs. Long epic tracks on one side each, so this works as a bunch of 12"s but also holds together well for listening all through (CD included, btw). Check "Cisco", "Skal vi prove nå?" or "Gudene vet".

HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE - ALYO / FLIPSIDE
I put this in the afro section, but afro/funk/jazz would be more fitting. Like a mix of Mulatu Astatke's horns and the Meters rhythm section, this record kicks like an angry mule. Get now.

ORQUESTRA ESENCIA - CARNAVAL / ESENCIA
Jazzman launch their Latino Series with this reissue 12". "Esencia" on the B is my first pick - a cooking vintage instrumental! A-side holds the happy vocal tune "Carnaval"

DOOM - BORN LIKE THIS
Finally here after a long wait, "Born like this" doesn't disappoint. Check "Absolutely" or "Yessir!" with Raekwon and see for yourself.Also the Dilla produced bomb "Lightworks" is here. Beautiful printed cover and innersleeve, hence a bit more pricey.

LYMAN WOODARD ORGANIZATION - SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL
High quality reissue of this much sought-after funk/jazz LP with the rare groove masterpiece "Creative musicians" plus the mellow jazzy title track and "Belle isle daze". Double vinyl pressing so it sounds better than the original. Includes a big poster with info and the original cover photo.

NATHAN DAVIS - THE BEST OF '65-76
Wonderful Jazzman compilation of some of Nathan Davis best work from his rare LPs. This is jazz business of the highest order across all 4 sides. Listen to top cuts as "B's blues", "Mandingo's pad", "Theme from Zoltan" and many more. Recommended.

CONRAD JACKSON - COME BACK WITH ME
Quality new soul dancer on Sonic Wax. Solid groove and should work well for a lot of people.
