Fab Samperi - 60 Minutes DJ Mix for Paris DJs (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-28 Some of our listeners might remember a high-quality selection of new and unreleased Funk, Soul and Latin flavoured tunes, mixed by The Captain from Resense Records, aired early 2009 on Paris DJs. Well, the officer has now grown into a full-fledged artist, and he's released under the name Fab Samperi earlier this year, a masterful album of boombastic jazz, latin, hip hop and soul, Power Bossa, out on Agogo Records. We couldn't pass on inviting him back for a new selection of groovy party music, and this...

Mo' Horizons & The Banana Soundsystem - s/t
(CD/Digital) Agogo Records AR019, 2011-05-06

'If you want to throw a successful block party, you need to get the sound, the system and the beats just right!' Mo' Horizons have done exactly that with their new album. 'Mo' Horizons and the Banana Soundsystem' is about putting the groove in place, as entertaining and profound as possible: 'We were touring to such an extent that we were nearly going bananas,' Mo' Horizons creative mastermind Ralf Droesemeyer recollects the last few years. 'It was as much fun as it was a colourful trip exploring the music of the world.' Mo' Horizons, of course, are no newcomers to the soundsystem culture. With four successful albums recorded plus two compilations containing their own as well as their remix work, this band is a firmly established entity. Take Come Touch The Sun from 1999 and Remember Tomorrow from 2001: Here was a band defining the sound of the Lounge era, focussing on sustainability with an open road ahead of them. Musical paths were explored further on Mo' Horizons and the New Bohemian Freedom in 2003 and Sunshine Today in 2007, both distinct voyages into the orbit of organic beats crossing Latin, electro, funk and soul. Playing their music live to the people has always been a key factor in Mo' Horizons, with the soundsystem idea of the DJ playing with various musicians and vocalists being an integral part of the concept.

Various - Agogo Makes The World Go Round - Music For The Global Hipster
(CD/Digital) Agogo Records AR015CD, 2011-03-18

Loved Bina Ehud 60's vibe. Can't listen to DJ Cleon, very nice chap but working with the infamous bootlegger Pascal Rioux/Favorite who bootleged a track of mine and never paid for the web works I had done for him (don't trust this guy, total rip-off!!!). Mo' Horizons deliver some killer dancefloor bizness, as usual. The Quantic track is just MASSIVE. Calmera from Japan is amazing. Psychedelic freshness from Columbia thanks to La Planta... Well this is 21st Century Latin music at its best!!

Fab Samperi - Power Bossa
(CD/Digital) Agogo Records AR017CD, 2011-03-25

Power Bossa is the introduction to Fab Samperi's definition of a boombastic jazz style. Fearlessly and creatively picking up inspiration from the golden decades of classic rhythm & blues, latin, hip-hop and soul Sicily's most prolific producer releases his first full album. Fab Samperi released his first solo tunes on Record Kicks and Afro Art. Using the The Samp Brothers as his alter ego the Alcoholic Drinks 12 inch vinyl still enjoys something like a cult status among the more eclectic DJs around the world. This was a fresh sound transferring the best of Acid Jazz into the new decade while keeping a true soul spirit alive. Think of Dream Warriors and Gang Starr with Young-Holt Unlimited as the backing band. And we do not disclose well-kept secrets in revealing that Fab Samperi is the mastermind behind The Captain's highly productive output of vinyl singles. Now we have Power Bossa and what a powerful statement it really is: Peace, love, unity and having bossa! We had invited The Captain for a Put On Your Dancing Boots mix on Paris DJs, and he'll be back soon with a new mix to present this album!
