Release Me

March 2012

So the year is jammed packed of releases and were sure your keen to find out more. So here goes. April sees Blakula release their second long player for Bearfunk entitled "Back From Mystery City". We could be here all day writing about this wonderful piece of music, but we noticed a rather excellent review over at the excellent Test Pressing site and we all agree they pretty much sum up exactly how we feel about this rather special piece of music check it!

Then in we welcome back Peter Visti also with his second LP "Illusions In A Twisted Mind" and boy is it twisted! Pete has been involved in some of our biggest releases in the last few years so you know delivers the goods every time. A sonic journey, posh but accessible warm and lovely.

We then head back to our Italy for Clap Rules remixed actually it's "The Golden Remixes" We pulled in a few favors and a stunning set of remixes from Emperor Machine, Daniel Maloso, Mock & Toof and In Flagranti. High quality artwork and vinyl pressing make this a very attractive package.

The rather outlandish duo Soiree also steps up with another long player! Yes the widely anticipated follow up to Zim Zim Zah Zah is called "Let's Play Tennis" Label boss Stevie Kotey and Bearfunk stalwart Max Essa return with probably their best work ever together. A rock, disco ethnic showdown with Balearic touches is filled with fun, comedy and a serious amount of funk. You can hear a little here via Stevie's soundcloud page make sure you follow his updates !

New Signings

March 2012

We are more than happy to announce some new additions to our ever growing roster yes how do we find the time? Direct from the streets of San Francisco we welcome The Beat Broker!!! We've been monitoring his work for some time and after a bit of gentle persuasion from the big bear we made him enter studio and not leave till he made us an LP. One word "stunning".

We then head back to our most giving country ever yes its back to Italy! Not content with raiding the home of the roman empire of Bottin, Fabrizio Mammarella, Clap Rules, Blakula and The Diaphanoids. We sign The Bank The debut album from the Italian band the bank saw the light in Lake Tahoe (NV) while touring with the US singer Jeff Jones, a huge snow storm hit the lake and the band were stuck so they went for a studio session. Believe it or not "the day after tomorrow" scenario inspired the Afro Disco sound of The Bank, a collection of reggae and funk 7" came out of nowhere to spice up the game and rest is history.

We then head to east to Bucharest the Romanian capital. Stevie visited their last year and spent time with Ion a friend and fellow producer he has been speaking with for many years. Stevie was always impressed with the productions coming out of his studio and finally made his move to sign many of N-am studios productions. Here we see the dubbed out duo Delusion Men which consists of Ion and Camil a psyched out dub disco production with no limits!!
