Dennis Coffey - Dennis Coffey
(CD/2xLP/Digital) Strut Records STRUT075CD/LP, 2011-04-25

Strut are proud to announce a priority release for 2011, the new studio album by Detroit guitar legend, Dennis Coffey. Guitarist of choice for major artists as diverse as Del Shannon, Funkadelic and The Temptations, Coffey was a member of the original Motown 'Funk Brothers' backing band and was key in bringing heavy wah wah guitar to soul and R&B during the late '60s. The canon of classics featuring Coffey's work is immense - from Temptations' 'Ball Of Confusion' and 'Cloud Nine' to Edwin Starr's 'War' and Freda Payne's 'Band Of Gold', the list is a roll-call of classic soul and R&B landmarks. As a solo artist, Coffey is perhaps best known for a series of rare groove classics during the early '70s including the million-selling breakbeat staple 'Scorpio' and soundtrack to cult action flick 'Black Belt Jones'. Alongside producer Mike Theodore, his '70s 'Theo-Coff' productions and his prolific guitar work ranged from raw funk to classic disco, including CJ & Co's 'Devil's Gun' and The Sylvers' 'Boogie Fever'. For 2011, Dennis Coffey's new self-titled album is a revelation, a dense, fuzz-heavy haze of incendiary psychedelic soul. Much of the set recalls the sentiments of earlier solo work such as his seminal, trippy 'Hair 'N' Thangs' album...

Orgone - Killion Vaults
(CD/2xLP) Ubiquity Records UR276, 2010-09-14

Orgone dropped Cali Fever, their second album for Ubiquity earlier this year. They have also played a ton of dates including Jazz Fest, the High Sierra Festival, been touring with the Roots, and Greyboy Allstars, and opening for bands as varied as Snoop Dogg, Sharon Jones and Gil Scott-Heron. With new management pushing Orgone out to as many dates as they can handle, the band have been selling out of merch on every road trip - so they decided that it was time for a new album for their newfound and rapidly expanding fanbase. Somehow, amidst their insane schedule they have put together a brand new, exclusive and all-instrumental album for Ubiquity called Killion Vaults.

Orgone - Cali Fever
(CD/2xLP) Ubiquity Records UR271, 2010-06-22

Orgone are back with Cali Fever, their second album for Ubiquity and a giant step from anything they have ever released in the past. This is a band in ascendancy, with more focus and purpose, and gigging like their lives depend on it. They pull on hard-nosed, stripped-down, New Orleans influences on tracks like The Last Fool and Crazy Queen. And effortlessly shift gears through more uptempo Afrobeat and Brazilian informed tracks like Matanza and summer anthem It's Time Tonight. Unlike previous releases, Cali Fever features all-original compositions, and no covers. With lead singer Fanny Franklin at the helm, the band rip through soul cuts like Give It Up and Overtime with a wild West Coast flair.

Orgone - Time Tonight
(12") Ubiquity Records UR12270, 2010-06-08

Orgone are back with a new single, including an exclusive extended funky dub mix, as a taster from their forthcoming Cali Fever album. Time Tonight is a gigantic skanking summertime smash bringing together elements of classic garage, disco and live house in a gritty floor filling jam. And from the Orgone library The Big Escape combines the essence of the the bands raw sound and heavy beats with a cinematic spaced out approach, available only on this 12".

Info :
Orgone first appeared on Ubiquity with their cover of "Funky Nassau" (on "Rewind Volume 4"), which became a ubiquitous DJ fave worldwide.
