Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
(75 Ark 2xLP/CD 2000-10-17)

Info :
Kid Koala jouait à un concert pour le Tibet où il pu discuter backstage avec Dan the Automator et Del tha Funkee Homosapien sur un projet d'album conceptuel que Dan et Del (permettez que je vous appelle Dan et Del?) avaient déjà arrangé à 80%, avec une idée très claire de ce à quoi ils voulaient aboutir en tête. La suite s'organisa très rapidement. Les 2 D ne voulaient pas des solis de Kid Koala, mais au contraire certains sons très précis, des ambiances scratchées, tout le monde se mit d'accord et le projet démarra... en l'an 3030. Deltron Zero (Del the funky homosapien), The Cantankerous Captain Aptos (Dan The Automator) et Skiznod the Boy Wonder (Kid Koala) se retrouvent à la Corporate Institutional Bank of Time afin d'effacer les erreurs du rap de notre époque à nous. Entre les beats innovants, la liste d'invités à n'en plus finir (Money Mark, Damon Albarn de Blur, Sean Lennon, MC Paul Barman -Cleofis Randolph The Patriarch-, Mark Bell...) et les textes de Del, voilà un classique du hip hop, socialement engagé, artistiquement novateur, amicalement collectif et brillant de bout en bout... dire qu'il a fallu attendre plus de mille ans!
Note enjoy real hip hop : 5/5 (Djouls)

Monophonics - In Your Brain - out on Ubiquity Records

Monophonics In Your Brain
Monophonics - In Your Brain
(CD/2xLP/Digital) Ubiquity Records UR299, 2012-05-15

Monophonics are a San Francisco soul/funk band we've been following quite some time. We played their afrofunk track Ageless feat. Karl Denson from their 2010 album Into The Infrasounds (check here), we've selected for the upcoming third volume of the series their epic afro/funk/jam thing Baobab Tree from their 2007 album Playin & Simple, and since we received this fan-tas-tic third album to be released on Ubiquity Records mid-may, we've also played their soul burner There's A Riot Going On in last month's Bag of Goodies selection and kept a few other marvels on the side for some upcoming selections… Their cover of Bang Bang will surely fit a Molesting Laura mix soon, for example… The Monophonics sound is deeply rooted in 70s Funk & Soul, but with a lot of fuzzy psychedelics and bits of 60s garage rock, nods to afrofunk and blaxploitation, rather close to the best productions from Orgone or Daptone's studios, and it's quite understandable that the band left their self-releasing politics to join a worldwide label such as Ubiquity! This one won't leave the Paris DJs stereo for weeks… and vinyl is recommended, as always.

Alan Evans Trio - Drop Hop - out on Royal Family Records

Alan Evans Trio - Drop Hop
(CD/Digital) Royal Family Records, 2012-05-14

Soulive's drummer Alan Evans is back in the groove with a trio formation. If you're into Booker T. and the MG's, Medeski Martin & Wood, The City Champs, Will Bernard Trio, The Meters and every good organ trio, Drop Hop is a must-have and a future classic. Loaded with instantly catchy tunes, it reveals the obvious talents of Alan Evans' longtime friends: heavy Hammond lines of Beau Sasser (a true revelation on B3 - at least for us) and superb Danny Mayer's Grant-Greenish guitar riffs. We love the rough and dirty sound of this release, one of the Spring's grooviest soul-funkwise platter, along with the new Sugarman 3 and the terrific Wil Blades/Billy Martin duo's album (Shimmy).
