(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2010-02-04
If you're in Paris these days and don't have your ticket for the incredible show tonite at Le New Morning starring Lee Fields (with the Menahan Street Band opening), then move your ass to Sannois (95) next sunday or to Ris-Orangis (91) next Wednesday!!! This is THE CONCERT you need not to miss!! To celebrate this European tour, we've invited for a very soulful mix Thomas Brenneck, alias DJ Tommy TNT, leader of the Menahan Street Band, guitar player for Bronx River Parkway, The Budos Band, The Dap-Kings, El Michels Affair, and founder of Daptone subsidiary Dunham records!!
The Menahan Street Band is part of a sprawling, trazillion-piece live Afrobeat experience that includes members of Antibalas, El Michels Affair, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and the Budos Band. Staying true to the sound but incorporating Latin and American soul influences, you really have to see them to get how terrific they are!

Menahan Street Band - The Wolf b/w Bushwick Lullaby
(7") Daptone Records DAP-1045, 2009-04-08
The Menahan Street Band challenges the Budos Band to a duel with The Wolf, the fast-paced ethio tinged number that has recently served as the opening song of their on-stage appearances. The song evokes unique imagery in the mind - part sun-drenched ethiopian desert, part frozen northern tundra. This song is dedicated to Joe 'The Wolf' Colgan for building the new Dunham Studios.Without telling Michels and Movshon, Brenneck put a little something special in their gin and tonics. The result is Bushwick Lullaby, a highly syncopated slow placed number entirely indicative of the participant's mind-state at the time of recording. Next time you put your kids to sleep, why not sing them the 'Bushwick Lullaby'?

Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens - What Have You Done, My Brother?
(CD/LP) Daptone Records DAP-016, 2009-05-26
Hundreds of new artists rear their heads on the scene every year, each struggling in vain to distinguish themselves from the rest with the gimmicks and novelties of the latest radio fads. However, rarely will an artist come along that can transcend the boxes and boundaries of our musical landscape with nothing but the pure soulfulness of her voice. Naomi Shelton is one of these precious artists. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York, and her 45s, "41st St. Breakdown" and "Wind Your Clock” b/w “Talking 'Bout a Good Thing,” have long been revered and prized by funk DJs around the globe. Now, with her first official full-length release coming this May, it's clear that her singing is equally influenced by both facets of her life. This is soul music - informed by the church, perhaps, but soul music nonetheless, relatable to all. Which means that What Have You Done, My Brother?, an uplifting record that conveys Naomi's energy, her excitement, her love of music, her compassion, is no ordinary album.

Citizen Dale - Platters That Matters Today
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-05-01
We got this mix sent to us by Citizen Dale from Canada (our music is a secret order but knows no boundaries). The selection features mainly new tracks with a sweet little bit of old spice thrown in to keep it smooth. It's heavily New York-based with some tips of the hat to lands 'n' bands over the Atlantic. Expect lots of Funk and Soul, with a few pieces of Latin and Jazz...

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Vol.5
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-03-09
Our world tour of African music continues in the form of a greatest hits selection from the last two years, with supa-dupa audio mastering by Grant Phabao (as usual). The Mehanan Street Band 'Make The Road By Walking' is an instant classic of instrumental funk and soul. We said that before. The Budos Band album 'Budos Band II' is an instant classic of cinematic afro and funk. That too. The Souljazz Orchestra album 'Manifesto' will be enjoyed by all fans of Fela and James Brown. Yep.... We've been harrassing you about the SJO quite much. Have we already played and praised the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble brilliance in these pages? Think so. Didn't we already play a track from the Afro Influenced Funk Federation in our latest 21st Century Afro mix? Yes we did. And The Polyversal Souls is just another disguise for The Poets Of Rhythm (alias Karl Hector and The Malcouns), who are featured, like, every month here...
