Biography :
Dynamax, American Hip Hop artist from the Bronx, is also part of Afrika Bambaataa's Zulu Nation as an Ambassador and a pioneer to the Hip Hop culture in France since he featured on the godfather of the French Hip Hop scene Dee Nasty's "Le Deenastyle" (Polydor / Polygram).

He was signed for ‘special projects’ with UNIVERSAL France, which allowed him to work with the greatest European producers and artists, like Luc Besson on the trailer of "Yamakasi", scores like "Un Ange", with Cut Killer - Parisian Pit Bulls & P. Diddy’s Bad Boy - and "Gamer" with Saïd Taghmaoui ("3 Kings").

Dynamax, working overseas, pioneered a radio station in Paris called Générations 88.2, providing the first international radio show: "Live From New York". He also made a guest appearance on EMI/Blue Note's Jazz/Electro artist Booster, and worked on the first Hip Hop TV commercial in France: NARTA HOMMES (cover of Missy Elliott's "Get ur Freak On"). He has opened and closed for Dr Dre’s Aftermath first female artist : Truth Hurts in Paris and Martinique.

He has even recorded and performed with legendary group Lords Of The Underground Du It All & DJ Lord Jazz, and most recently was in studio with major artist Sticman/Dead Prez. He has starred with French Universal pop and movie star Ginie Line, whose featurings were Ray Charles and Dynamax. He then launched his first project featuring Chuck D, Guru, Zach de La Rocha and music by DJ 3/5... He’s currently performing live with veteran electro DJ Erik Rug in a concept called Wax Groove, where they have released many singles on labels Main & LDT Records: "Tribute 2 my People"...

Dynamax is employed by an organization called Mix’Cité, as a music teacher, providing the exclusive teaching of the fundamentals of the Hip Hop culture, in two elementary schools in Clermont-Ferrand-France (program sponsored by City Hall, the Local Board of Youth and Leisure and the Auvergne County). The success of his program has made the American Embassy choose Dynamax as the U.S. Ambassador and Cultural Specialist of the Hip-Hop Culture to tour in Africa (Angola, Nigeria, Niger, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Zambia and Senegal).

Various - The Nickel & Penny Labels
(CD/2LP) Numero Group NUM039, 2012-01-23

Esteemed Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group has been raising the bar of the soul/funk/blues/rare groove compilation standards ever since 2004 and their first Eccentric Soul collection. They even managed to get 2 albums in our 10 Reissues Of Old Stuff That's Been So Cool To (Re)Discover in 2011 selection. Their latest release, Eccentric Soul: The Nickel & Penny Labels is the brainchild of Richard Pegue, a Chicago DJ/producer/writer/arranger of soul records in the 60s and the 70s, and might suffer from the comparison with previous volumes in the label's flagship series - for example the Boddie Recording Co. boxset from last october... But don't let the tracklisting fool you, this new compilation is a new fabulous one, with most of its best tracks to be found in the second half of the CD! Special flavors are indeed to be found in The Halleluiah Chorus' soulful gem I've Got to Find A Way, South Shore Commision's James-Brown-meets-The Jackson-5-on-The-Blues-Brothers-set You Got Me Hummin', Brothers & Sisters's psychedelick shack Don't Let 'Em Tell You or Joyce Williams' flute-heavy The First Thing I Do In The Morning, just to name a few. We couldn't resist playing the two latter one in our january Bag of Goodies mix recorded last weekend which you should be able to download in the coming days...

Square Records - Nirobi Edits - out on Square Records

Various - Nirobi Edits
(limited 12 inch) Square Records SQRC104, 2011-11-16

Summer 2012, Square Records were right there on spot at the start of the current re-edits craze, with amazing reworks from Onur Engin. The latest edition of their highly collectable 12 inches has arrived at the end of last year and as usual it's a 1000 copies worldwide, no re-press and no digital release affair, on which we advise to jump on before it's too late. This time Robert Luis aka Nirobi, A&R and co-founder of Tru Thoughts Recordings and a world-renowned DJ is the guest of honor, with 4 new edits of choice and their augmented dancefloor boogieness. You might be surprised, but even though there's fantastic re-edits from Soho, St Tropez or Paul McCartney in there, for us the revered treasure of the lot is the Mick Hucknall one (yep, the singer from Simply Red!), whose Farther Up The Road originally found on his 2008 Tribute to Bobby (a tribute to the blues musician Bobby "Blue" Bland), should turn all soulful dancefloors upside down, each time, guaranteed! We'll be playing this gem in the upcoming Bag of Goodies mix we've cooked for you last weekend...
