The Whitefield Brothers – Earthology
(CD/LP/Digital) Now Again/Stones Throw NA5047, 2010-01-11

While In The Raw's hypnotic, defiantly psychedelic funk music was grounded in the great musical traditions of both America and Africa, Earthology finds the Brothers infusing their funk with musical traditions that span the globe. With this new album, The Whitefield Brothers - and a multitude of guests ranging from vocalists Edan, Mr. Lif, Bajka, Percee P and MED to musicians from Antibalas, El Michels Affair, Quantic, Poets of Rhythm and the Dap-Kings - blend together what might seem to be disparate music into global-psychedelic-jazz using the fierce funk their fans have grown to love.

El Michels Affair & Friends - Ultimate Breaks & Beats - Instrumentals Volume One
(CD/2xLP) Traffic Entertainment Group TEG3315, 2008-08-19

"These are tight new vocal-less versions of 13 of the most classic breaks in the Ultimate Beats & Breaks catalogue, laid down in Brooklyn, NY, by a gang of trained studio assassins (including Leon Michels of El Michels Affair). The group puts their own subtle touches on major tracks...

We are proud to present to you Ultimate Breaks & Beats Instrumentals. That's right, for the first time ever, in the history of the ground-breaking series, we offer to you thirteen of the most popular cuts from the UBB series as start to finish instrumentals. From the most seasoned producer to the 15-year-old with a bedroom studio and sequencing software, everyone is going to benefit from having these original gems available without the burden of vocals. It's a new day for fans of the break beat, and what a better day it is. Producers, start your MPC's as we give to you Instrumentals - the breaks, the whole breaks, and nothing but the breaks."

El Michels Affair - Enter The 37th Chamber
(CD/LP) Truth & Soul/Fat Beats, 2009-04-21

As a part of the same Brooklyn funk/soul revival led by groups like the Dap Kings, Budos Band, and Menahan Street Band, El Michels Affair have been on the lips of soul enthusiasts and tastemakers for a while. Fat Beats Records proudly releases their new album "Enter the 37th Chamber," which picks up where the popular 7"s for "C.R.E.A.M." and "Bring Da Ruckus" left off--full instrumental reinterpretations of classic tracks by the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA's raw soundscapes translate perfectly to the vibe of El Michels Affair's "cinematic soul," and beats from more than a dozen Wu anthems get proper do-overs courtesy of one of the hottest bands in the biz...
