Big Pimp Jones - 21st Century Blaxploitation Vol.3 (MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) 2011-05-05 Philadelphia's Big Pimp Jones have become quite big on the 21st Blaxploitation tip, with their two funky soundtracks to Blaxploitation movies that dont exist. They loved our previous mixes on the same theme (vol.1 and vol.2) - "Those first two volumes are super-dope, we are fans of your stuff as well, that's really nice work on the Black Cat mixtape. I'd be honored to throw a volume 3 together!" said Keith Foster from Big Pimp Jones. His mix is fun & funky, keeping the 21st century...

Los Sospechos (Budos Band / Menahan Street Band) - Jano's Revenge - out now on Colemine Records

Tuesday 17 August 2010, 16:40

Los Sospechos - Jano's Revenge
(7") Colemine Records CLMN 108, 2010-08-17

Have you ever been hurt, wronged, or shamed? Jano's Revenge will take you past that, deep into the dark, violent thoughts that follow. Haunting horn lines blare over an evil, dirty beat like the adrenaline rush before you draw first blood. After you've served up that cold plate of revenge, heat things up with Mirror Door a sweet horn melody relaxing on a full bed of organ swells. This serenade has both a drum machine and a drummer to makesure it hits all the right spots.

The Car-Del Production team first heard Los Sospechos at a tequila distillery, just outside of Las Cruces, New Mexico. They knew immediately that this band would be the perfect fit for the soundtrack to the feature film Postales. With contributions from members of The Budos Band and Menahan Street Band, the raw and jagged sound of Los Sospechos can be both tough and tender. Working perfectly with themes from Postales to dig into the soul and guts of each character.

Fans of Budos Band and Menehan Street Band will be into what Los Sospechos< are putting down.

The Budos Band - III
(CD/LP) Daptone Records, 2010-08-10

It's official, people.

Conceived during weekly, beer-fueled writing sessions in their dank Staten Island rehearsal space, sharpened to a fine point on the road – more than 150 live gigs over the last two years – and recorded during an intensely productive 48 hour period in January 2010, The Budos Band III is chock full of the type of tough sonic nuggets that have long earned The Budos Band the title, "the quintessence of Staten Island soul". The first single is the afro-rock burner, Unbroken, Unshaven. Download the free Mp3 here.

The Budos Band - Budos Band EP
(12") Daptone Records DAP12002, 2009-06-23

From the vaults of Daptone Records comes a collection of unreleased tracks from the infamous Budos Band. Recorded after The Budos Band I sessions, but before those for the second full-length, this EP is a fascinating glimpse into the group's evolution as musicians and recording artists. The Budos Band EP is a must-have for Budos and Daptone fans alike. It stands as a vital account of the band's movement between musical styles and records a singular moment in the group's existence. It will indeed stand the test of time and remain a bedrock of Budos lore.
I'd love to get a copy of this vinyl... Daptone-me please!!! (Djouls)

Menahan Street Band - The Wolf b/w Bushwick Lullaby

Sunday 14 June 2009, 15:28

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'?
