Souleance are back with their second single on First Word. After the massive success of their debut Le Monde EP, the French duo of DJ Soulist (What The Funk?) and producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / Peter Digital Orchestra / One-Handed) have crafted one of the first must-have releases of 2010.
Souleance will be back later this year with their debut album. With a growing legion of fans including Gilles Peterson (who picked their track Manana for his Brownswood Bubblers compilation) and Radio Nova (France) who have booked the duo to play at their prestigious Nuitz Zebrees event in December, 2010 is gonna be big for Souleance.

6ix Toys - Sisters Of Soul, Brothers Of Funk
(12") First Word Records FW32, 2009-09-28
Following on from last year's dancefloor favourite Voodoo People, funk sensation 6ix Toys are back with the second single from their eponymous debut album. This time we've enlisted the help of one of our musical heroes, the incredible Greg Wilson. For those who don't know, Greg Wilson is a bona fide legend – one of the UK's pioneering DJs, (he still breaks out the Reel to Reel tapes for his sets), Greg was a resident at Manchester's Hacienda and the Wigan Pier, launching the nascent UK electro scene in the early 1980s. In recent times Greg has become synonymous with his disco re-edits, in the process winning legions of new fans. Greg's applied his magic touch to the album opener Paint The Toon (renamed as 'Sister of Soul, Brothers of Funk') adding wobbling bass and shimmering cymbals to create a discotinged dancefloor belter that's set to be the sound of the summer.

(CD) First Word Records FW30, 2009-09-14
First Word Records return from the summer break with a brand new mix album celebrating five years of the label.

Kicking off with recent signings 6ix Toys and the infectious Giggle then moving swiftly into kidkanevil's Black Bug, the mix takes in all the label's biggest club tunes. With early highlights such as The Haggis Horns' Hot Damn! and kidkanevil's Kranium Rock (along with Diesler's bouncy re-rub), sitting alongside more recent efforts including 6ix Toys' huge cover of The Prodigy's Voodoo People and a couple of tracks from Homecut's highly-praised No Freedom Without Sacrifice album.

kidKANEVIL - Exclusive Guava Juice Sunshine Mix
(Free MP3) 2009-05-31
When he finishes sharpening his snare-sword in the shadow of Mount Fuji, the Kid likes to step back into the light of the sun as it lowers itself gently in the sky. Kick back for a little while. Even busy cats like him need to chill now and then, so he gets himself a drink and loads up a little bump and snap to come floating out the speakers. Everybody loves the Sunshine, right?

Souleance - Le Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-06-17
Souleance is the result of the partnership between the talented electronic hip hop beatmaker/producer Fulgeance and Paris DJs resident Soulist, who's been organizing incredibly groovy What The Funk events for 6 years now in Paris with his partner Freeworker… Souleance is really a mixture of Soulist's organic influences, spirituality and samples from live instruments, and Fulgeance producer's know how and malice, deep beats plus geek attitude towards technology. Their freshly sounding first 12 inch Le Monde EP has just been released on the English label First Word Records, combining newest tendencies of beats music and best urban music traditions - as in this showcase mix - a perfect introduction to the Souleance sound!

Souleance - Le Monde EP
(12" / Download) First Word Records FW27, 2009-06-01
First Word are back with another banging release, this time from the first international signing to First Word, Souleance, live and direct from Paris. SOULEANCE is the result of the partnership between producer Fulgeance and DJ Soulist of What The Funk… Soulist and Fulgeance met in 2006 while performing and from that friendship the Souleance project was born: a mixture of Soulist's organic influences and the raw energy and production skill of Fulgeance. The EP covers many genres, taking in Hip Hop (Manana), Breaks (Le Monde and One Step) and even the funkier end of the 80s (Cool FM ). Already receiving radio support from Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio One (Manana is currently featured on his myspace player), the Le Monde EP is the first of many massive releases from thus talented duo.

Homecut - I Don't Even Know feat. Corinne Bailey Rae & Soweto Kinch
(Limited Edition 7" / Download) First Word Records FW26, 2009-05-11
The new single from Homecut features double Grammy winner Corinne Bailey Rae and Mercury Music Prize Nominee (and British Jazz hero) Soweto Kinch. Over a soulful piano hook and a snapping off-kilter drumbeat, Testament, Corinne & Soweto have crafted a song that touches on the melancholic and the joyful. With compelling lyrics and outstanding vocals from three of the UKs finest voices, I Don't Even Know is one of 2009's essential tracks. This is backed by Not Far To Go, an uptempo slice of summer - Disco meeting Hip Hop to create an instant dancefloor classic. Both tracks feature on the debut album No Freedom Without Sacrifice on First Word Records.
