Kinny - Forgetting To Remember (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) 2010-03-07
Kinny – aka Caitlin Simpson – was born and raised in Canada and has a mixture of Jamaican, Native Canadian Indian, French and Swedish heritage. She sings jazz, reggae and soul for Brighton's Tru Thoughts label, on which she released two albums, Forgetting To Remember (2005, with Espen Horne), and Idle Forest of Chit Chat (2009, with Souldrop, TM Juke, Unforscene, Hint, Diesler, the Quantic Soul Orchestra and Nostalgia 77!). Her 2008 single Enough Said with the QSO was a huge hit in our books.
Grant Phabao ranks among the greatest multi-instrumentists/producers of his time. After 2 dub albums (as Tnargoabapah), 4 thematic albums with the T.I.M.E.C. collective, and 4 reggae albums with Jamaican veterans The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, The Jays and The Silvertones, he's now hard at work with fellow Paris-based musical genius Doctor L on a series of collaborative concept albums for the brand new Colored-Inc. label (The Black Cat, Down By The River Side, One Foot In Jail).
Here's Kinny and Grant Phabao virtual meeting, featuring the songstress' unique soulful vocals (taken from the a capella version of Forgetting To Remember), drenched into Jamaican roots grooves courtesy of the one and only french dubmeister. Play it... and then play it again - this is music that doesn't age!

Various - Tru Thoughts Funk
(CD) Unfold UNFOLDCD011, 2010-05-17
Surrounded by incredible music - on setting out to compile 'Tru Thoughts Funk', A&R Robert Luis was faced with a serious case of kid-in-a-candy-store syndrome; after all, how would you distil the dazzling collective back catalogue of The Quantic Soul Orchestra, The Bamboos, Alice Russell, TM Juke, Natural Self, Nostalgia 77 et al into just one CD's worth of tunes? It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it, and the end result is this essential, super heavyweight compilation showcasing a consistently sky-high level of quality and, perhaps surprisingly for a genre-based compilation, a fresh, eclectic platter of varied aesthetics and international flavours. Includes exclusive first CD release for Nostalgia 77's "Thing"; and two brand new tracks, hot off the press and signed exclusively for this project, from Beta Hector, the solo side project of Simon Hill from adored UK funk band Baby Charles. "Payback" and "Creepin'", featuring Baby Charles colleague Dionne Charles on guest vox, see multi-instrumentalist Hill putting his own live recordings through an experimental electronic mill, to create an unusual, rough edged, synth-infused brand of raw funk.

Zero dB - One Offs, Remixes and B Sides
(2xCD) Tru Toughts TRUCD209, 2009-02-22
With their exhilarating and influential 2006 album Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines (Ninja Tune) sparking the kind of universal critical love-in that most producers can only dream of, and still sounding as fresh today as ever, pioneering underground duo Zero dB have now brought together their One Offs, Remixes and B Sides for release on Tru Thoughts in February 2010. As if the mere prospect of a new release by Zero dB weren’t enough to get tongues wagging and feet dancing, this 2 CD, 23 track monster boasts the best of a truly humungous catalogue of remixes courtesy of luminaries including Moonstarr, Aaron Jerome and Seiji among others. It also heralds a first and eagerly-awaited CD release for a handful of highly sought-after cuts - not least Hextatic's Distorted Minds (Zero dB mix), the Dave Da Gato Mix of Seven By Seven by Inverse Cinematics and the almighty Zero dB classic, The Snare - that were previously only available on limited vinyl and all snapped up by eagle-eared fans way back when. And, in addition to the big names and rarities on this latest addition to Tru Thoughts' esteemed One Offs… artist compilation series, there's also completely new and exclusive material including the immense Dave Da Gato's F_ck-Up The Festivals Bounce version of Universe by Alice Russell, bringing the soul diva/national treasure’s song to the heady, neck-snapping heights of euphoric club nastiness. One Offs, Remixes and B Sides is not only an essential listen for existing fans of Zero dB's unique concoction of Latin heat, jazz colour, startling beats and pure bassline filth, but for anyone who has been remotely moved by dance music in the last half decade.

The Bamboos - On The Sly
(12") Tru Thoughts TRU211, 2009-02-08
What do you get when you combine a truly nasty, percussive drum break with massive Hammond and guitar stabs, a loping sly horn line and Kylie Auldist’s velvet rip-saw vocals? On The Sly is the first single from The Bamboos’ upcoming album, 4, and a real statement of intent: a piece of music for 2010 that somehow transcends the boundaries of what we know as the ‘Deep Funk’ scene and pushes The Bamboos up into a world all their own, On The Sly is The Bamboos crystallised, arrived, their own unique sound fully realised.

The second single from Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro's internationally acclaimed Tradition In Transition album is the anthemic Un Canto A Mi Tierra, written and sung by Pacific Folklore singer Nidia Góngora as an ode to her homeland of Timbiqui – a remote village off the Pacific coast of Colombia that is only accessible by a several-hour-long boat ride.

Add that collective mass of talent to the raw material of fast-rising star Auldist's classic soul-fuelled grown-up pop credentials, and this 12" is guaranteed to be big news.
