San Francisco duo Myron &#38; E create modern soul music with a classic throwback feel on Stones Throw Records!
&#160;
Myron &#38; E are backed by Timmion Records house band The Soul Investigators, who worked with them on a string of 45s released on Timmion in recent years, as well as with Nicole Willis. Broadway is produced entirely by Didier Selin of the Soul Investigators.
&#160;
Songs like &lsquo;Broadway&rsquo; and &lsquo;Give You All My Love&rsquo; may boast classic soul instrumental and vocals, but modern production and unforgettable hooks bring the sound up to date. Fans of Aloe Blacc, Mayer Hawthorne etc should check this!

Since his record The Unseen (2000), Quasimoto has gone on to be one of hip-hop&rsquo;s most loved cult musicians. A separate project of the prolific producer Madlib, Quasimoto&rsquo;s records are continually ranked among the best in all hip-hop by influential publications and tastemakers, with Madlib described as a &ldquo;genius&rdquo; by Pitchfork.?
&#160;
Following the critical and commercial successes of The Unseen and The Further Adventures of Lord Quas, Yessir Whatever collects 12- tracks made by Madlib and Quasimoto over a roughly 12-year period. A few were released on rare and out-of-print vinyl, while a few others are previously unreleased, now mixed and mastered for the first time.
&#160;
With artwork by Stones Throw designer Jeff Jank, the CD cover features a peel-off sticker that, when removed, reveals Quasimoto&rsquo;s guts. This is the latest release from a label behind some of the most innovative hip-hop of the last twenty years, with a roster that includes J Dilla, Karriem Riggins and J. Rocc.

&#160;
Mushrooms Project are the kings of the mid tempo and they do deep, druggy, chunky, sometimes more balearic, sometimes just more freaky music better than anyone else.
Their approach is hallucinating and all encompassing and is made up of the analogue sounds of guitar, bass, synth and percussive layers to create a dirty but unique background.
&#160;
Their new &lsquo;Undergrass&rsquo; album is a melting pot of all their influences and is a straight up journey through the mesmerizing and unusual minds of the Mushrooms.
Undergrass is released on gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10&rdquo; featuring remixes of &lsquo;16823&rsquo; by Brennan Green and Mudd.
Brennan takes his mix into the electro boogie sounds of an 80&rsquo;s New York while Mudd brings out the guitar, layering up his own production with equally devastating effect.

Re-issue of African Songbird, the masterpiece from South Africa&rsquo;s greatest jazz singer, Sathima Bea Benjamin. Originally released in 1976, African Songbird was a debut long overdue.
&#160;
A 1959 recording debut, which would have been South Africa&rsquo;s first ever LP, was shelved. Her 1963 recording with Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn was put aside by Reprise&rsquo;s then head of A&#38;R, Frank Sinatra, for not being commercial enough.  African Songbird is a tour-de-force, and arguably the most dramatic and powerful release on Rashid Vally&rsquo;s As-shams label.</p></description>

&#160;
Following on from the rough dubby-techno beast 'Double Jointed Sex Freak' released over a year ago, Levon Vincent has re-surfaced stronger than before with this dark three-tracker that bridges the gap between house and techno. 'Man Or Mistress' - built around a dubby bassline and swirling epic synths grows into an all-out dancefloor throwdown with white-noise percussion and epic strings. Eyes down business on 'Making Headway', an dark industrial number built around clanging metallic percussion, sexual growls, bass and glassy synths. 'No Regrets' employs a soulful male vocal over a warped simple beat and sci-fi synthwork. KILLER!!!!!!!!!!</p></description>
