The Pimptones sound is the coming together of funk and soul, jazz and blues, disco and dance, tightly performed with pop sensibilities and a feel for the classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Pride formed The Pimptones back in 2007 to deliver funk, soul and jazz with tight musical arrangements and a great live show. Since then the group has toured Europe, recorded four albums (\"Go Deep\" and \"Rejuiced Phat Shake\" on Légére Recordings, \"Midnight Feast Of Jazz\" on Record Kicks and the self released \"It's The Pimptones\"). dabbled in various side projects and gained international airplay and recognition. However, following \"Go Deep\" (2016), it was time for the band to go through a reinvention. The Pimptones now return refreshed and retooled.

But the twelve new tacks push the envelope lyrically as well, as Nick Pride explains: \"For this album I wanted to talk about issues which mean something to me in a way which I hadn't tried on previous records.

Artist like Steely Dan, Hall \u0026amp; Oates, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles all featured heavily in his diet of music when he was growing up. As a producer and songwriter, Phil has historically been more active in soul and jazz music. He has produced albums for successful projects such as The Jazzinvaders, Laura Vane and the Vipertones and The Soul Snatchers, all busy touring bands with international radio support. After working on a project with singer Lo van Gorp (Garp) from the Netherlands, Phil found the perfect vocal fit to his recordings for his own West Coast flavoured pop album. Together with other songwriters like Joel Sarakula and Laura Vane he began writing and producing songs. Lo van Gorp is a well known backing singer and saxophonist in Holland, recognized for his work backing many bigger artists like Marco Borsato, Paul Carrack, Roger Hodgson, Chaka Khan, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Al Jarreau, to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound of Martin \u0026amp; Garp can best be described as feel-good, radio friendly melodies romantically looking back to California in the 70s. In amongst the catchy guitar and synth licks and luxurious harmonies, the theme is the unifying effect of music in the quest for sunny optimism.

Artist like Steely Dan, Hall \u0026amp; Oates, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles all featured heavily in his diet of music when he was growing up. As a producer and songwriter, Phil has historically been more active in soul and jazz music. He has produced albums for successful projects such as The Jazzinvaders, Laura Vane and the Vipertones and The Soul Snatchers, all busy touring bands with international radio support. After working on a project with singer Lo van Gorp (Garp) from the Netherlands, Phil found the perfect vocal fit to his recordings for his own West Coast flavoured pop album. Together with other songwriters like Joel Sarakula and Laura Vane he began writing and producing songs. Lo van Gorp is a well known backing singer and saxophonist in Holland, recognized for his work backing many bigger artists like Marco Borsato, Paul Carrack, Roger Hodgson, Chaka Khan, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Al Jarreau, to name a few.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sound of Martin \u0026amp; Garp can best be described as feel-good, radio friendly melodies romantically looking back to California in the 70s.

More interested in live performing and getting his own thing going than in college work, he quickly rooted out the best players in town and set up his first band, The Jazz Mailmen, dedicated to playing the golden era of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. After transcribing all the parts and enforcing a dress code of Bop suits, he set about taking the UK Jazz Dance scene by storm. During this time British Hard Bop legend Tommy Chase asked him to relocate and join his band, but Eddie had other ideas. Following his early bands The Eddie Roberts Organisation and The Three Deuces Eddie's focus shifted towards Deep Funk, the New Mastersounds were born and released their first album on Keb Darge's Deep Funk Records. The rest is history, with six full albums recorded and an impressive history of live shows around the world. Eddie's love for 60s Blue Note \u0026amp; Hard Bop didn't waver despite the media hype of the Deep Funk scene. Soon Eddie was commissioned to produce a Hard Bop track for the Jazz dancers to go on Adrian Gibson's renowned 'Messin Around' compilation. This project turned into the \"Roughneck\" album, released summer 2004 on the NMS' One Note Records label. \"Trenta\", released early 2007 on Salvo's Records, features instrumental arrangements of traditional Neopolitan songs. Eddie stayed busy that year playing with Papa Mali, Johnny Vidocavitch, Idris Muhammed and The Greyboy Allstars. Is that all? Eddie Roberts asked in 2009 and the answer was simple: No! Legere Recordings had a good look on Eddie's extensive back catalogue and released \"An Introduction To Eddie Roberts\", showcasing his work from the early days up to the present. Following the releasse The New Mastersounds played their first German shows since many years. When in Spain during the same year Eddie joined forces with The Sweet Vandals' rhythm section, adding Chip Wickham's (Nightmares On Wax, Rae \u0026amp; Christian, The Pharcyde) world-class flute and Taz Modi's funktastic organ from Leeds\/UK, and he sensed that this could be the beginning of something special. \"Burn!\" is the proof that his feelings were true. The Fire Eaters, as the combo was now called, recorded the album produced by Eddie Roberts himself in 2010, completed 12 tracks including a good number of Eddie Roberts originals as well as their versions of classic acid jazz \u0026amp; soul tunes like \"I Believe In Miracles\", the \"Lope Song\" or \"Latona\".

He found his own fit in the form of Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues from half-a-century before, drawn in by records in the family collection, engaging at a visceral level, abstract from any subcultural connotations. While an outlier stylistically, he found camaraderie and direction among musically inclined peers, saving up two summers straight for a Rickenbacker guitar, getting the taste for playing live with an archetypal teenage power trio. After a move to London to study, he was without a band for a while. The Rickenbacker was sold for an archtop, and he delved deeper into his musical vocabulary - delta blues, Americana, early jazz and Rock'n'Roll. Meanwhile, via the capital's blues clubs and soul nights, he discovered a new setting for the music that had enticed him the first place, existing, not in a vacuum, but alive and in the moment.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA chance audition thrust him into full-time work as a touring musician. He found himself, blissfully under-qualified, serving an apprenticeship alongside conservatoire-trained jazz musicians and session pros. Meanwhile, the inevitable downtime in new cities on the road allowed for significant crate-digging between coffee spots and sound checks, while feeding off the knowledge of the players around him. Becoming more and more interested in production, ever-drawn to the Golden Era of record-making, he befriended the proprietors of Soup Studio, then an all-analogue facility based on Cable Street. He started moonlighting on production projects and learning the inner workings of a studio environment.

Without any wider ambition, it was as much about the process as the outcome, evoking the R'n'B records of the '50s and '60s in practice rather than emulation. His first effort, the ramshackle \"You Gotta Tell Me\" became a de facto single, and after being urged to press a few copies to vinyl by a friend, it began to cause a few ripples on the local DJ scene. Meanwhile, a wild, off-the-cuff cover of 'Hit The Road Jack' caught the attention of a London music agency, giving his lineup an outlet for playing out. This included house-band sets at London establishments such as the Blues Kitchen, Old Street Records and notably at the opening of the Mary Quant Fashion Exhibition at the V\u0026amp;A Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39334957482140,"sku":"LEGO219","price":11.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/PMWarson-TrueStory.jpg?v=1614965786"},{"product_id":"the-terri-green-project-cornell-cc-carter-randy-hall-marc-staggers-michelle-lawson-the-weather-girls-david-a-tobin-rob-hardt-miracle-thomas-whats-going-on","title":"The Terri Green Project, Cornell CC Carter, Randy Hall, Marc Staggers, Michelle Lawson, The Weather Girls, David A Tobin, Rob Hardt \u0026 Miracle Thomas - What's Going On","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 7\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LEGO213\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4026424011015\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 10th April 2021 (back in)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01.

He fronts Colorama, formed the Welsh folk group Bendith and hosts a regular themed radio show on Soho Radio. In 2019, Ellis embarked on the first project under his own name, Carwyn Ellis \u0026amp; Rio 18. Sung in Welsh and recorded mainly in Rio de Janeiro, the album, \"Joia!\" was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and followed by \"Mas\" in early 2020. The new album \"Yn Rio\" is a collection of new songs recorded in Cardiff together with The BBC National Orchestra Of Wales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2017 Carwyn Ellis joined the touring line-up of The Pretenders. For Ellis, a record collector and fan of Brazilian music, the opportunity to tour South America would present opportunities he couldn't have possibly imagined when he accepted Chrissie Hynde's invitation. \"The first place we went to was Rio and by the time I met Chrissie for breakfast the day after our gig, I already had a bag of albums I'd just bought. I'm sitting with her and she says, 'You should meet my mates, and do something in Welsh with them! Nobody's done a Welsh language album with Brazilian musicians?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2018, when Alexandre Kassin, a leading light in that Brazilian scene announced a show in London, Hynde suggested that they see it. \"I met him afterwards,\" Ellis recalls, \"and we hit it off straight away.\" Within weeks, Ellis was on a plane to Rio with songs that would form the basis of the first album. This creative purple patch extended into another album released early in 2021 with Carwyn working once again with Kassin plus long-time friend Shawn Lee. The songs on \"Mas\" drew on the environmental threats that face both Wales and South America, spidering out around the central theme of water (\"rains, no rain, droughts, rising seas and flooded valleys for corporate gain. We're screwed without it and screwed if there's too much\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith \"Mas\" recorded but weeks away from release, Ellis received a call from Gareth Iwan Jones, head producer of BBC Radio Cymru, offering a third album to be performed in March 2021. Ellis started to reflect upon the life-changing events triggered by his South American adventures. The Welsh word 'hiraeth' which describes the longing that Welsh people feel when they're far from home, was something that he was now beginning to feel for Rio de Janeiro: \"'Yn Rio' is based around a day in Rio,\" he explains. \"The events of 2020 influenced the record inasmuch as I wanted it to be a complete antidote to what was going on.

Luther Thomas written on returning from his travels to Papua New Guinea. With Kassin unable to participate, Ellis thanks him by translating his \"A Paisagem Morta\" to create \"Y Bywyd Llonyd\". For Carwyn Ellis \"Yn Rio\" is an extraordinary memorial to extraordinary times.\"There are some days so idyllic you just want tobe able to jump back into them at the touch of a button.

Their sound blends floating Hammond organ lines, kinetic, driving grooves, funky breaks, and slicing, economic improvisation. The quartet features Carsten Meyer on Hammond B-3, Dennis Rux on guitar, David Nesselhauf on bass, and Lucas Kochbeck on drums. It was cut live on two weekends in April 2021 in Hamburg's Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Studios. The chemistry was right and in a truly democratic process ideas were fleshed out, arrangements were done on the spot. A will to collective playing whilst always sticking to the rudimentary basics was in the air. Thus the music could spread out like the arms of an octopus. And though there are limits on the sound of the Hammond organ quartet creativity can burst out \u0026amp; find its way to overcome the limits.

'Alchemist' Phil Martin, his partner in crime Garp, 'Free Radical' Baer and Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy met in person during an era that was characterized by distance. What these characters have in common is a mission to make the environment and life in general a little more enjoyable, humane, so to speak. On his sentimental journey to nostalgia, years prior to this event, Martin seemingly coincidentally ran into Garp. Both Martin \u0026amp; Garp had always suffered a certain discomfort with the present. Music and sounds of the past always made them feel happier and more in touch with their souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat had once started as a refuge from their life and times, turned into an odyssey to divine harmony. In his ancient Man Cave, situated in Thuredrith, Phil Martin had for years successfully worked on numerous creations until one day, he found himself at a roadblock. He believed what was missing was the Free Radical. The Free Radical is a highly sought-after entity, an errant Knight. Although dangerous on its own, when combined with the right components, it sublimates into the most noble of elements. Meanwhile, the People of Marutyri, for generations notorious time travelers and explorers of the vast Valley of Sound, spawned two highly talented descendants, called Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their quest for the divine melody, Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy crossed paths with the Free Radical and a sense of bliss was felt by all. Oblivious to the fact they had just experienced the start of an extraordinary and life changing process, the Free Radical, now dubbed \"Baer\", decided to join the young pioneers on their path. Subsequently, an immense and vibrant energy was unleashed onto the airwaves, while the trio set course for destinations unknown. These intense vibrations hadn't gone unnoticed by the refined senses of Martin \u0026amp; Garp, of course. It was like a rejuvenating breath of air which drew the duo to intercept the trio whilst on their journey. It was the crack of dawn, when The Alchemist cooked up a potion enabling all involved to take part in the same Magical Mind Excursion without ever having to meet. Dawn Patrol was born: Divine Harmony - Radicalism - Divine Melody.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41398453338268,"sku":"LEGO253VL","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_f75f3f84-2ab4-40d7-be08-b36ac8c19b7f.jpg?v=1644109785"},{"product_id":"pm-warson-dig-deep-repeat-lp","title":"PM Warson - Dig Deep Repeat [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: LEGO262VL\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4026424011800\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 06 May 2022\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Insider\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e02: Leaving Here\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e03: Game Of Chance (By Another Name)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e04: Never In Doubt\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e05: Dig Deep\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e06: Out Of Mind\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e07: Nowhere To Go\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e08: Out Of Mind\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e09: Leaving Here (Pt. 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a series of self-released vinyl singles, PM Warson emerged in 2021 with the album \"True Story\", combing elements of vintage R'n'B and Soul with an authenticity and energy that appealed fans and critics alike.

I began thinking about making new music. What do I wanna do I pondered… 'Rides Again' was a personal once in a lifetime album or was it? After some reflection, I realised there was more to this story, this sound. As I eventually crept back to my studio ducking and diving all the way, I started writing and recording new songs for Rides YET Again. The lyrics heavily informed by life during lockdown, my new dog Carla and my recent health problems. I had suffered a stroke which left me with some brain damage and I struggled with Aphasia for well over a year with extremely impaired speech. It was hard … I found solace in song and a musical context to share my ups and downs. It was a beautiful place to retreat to. John Pickup brought his brilliant orchestral treatments.

'Alchemist' Phil Martin, his partner in crime Garp, 'Free Radical' Baer and Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy met in person during an era that was characterized by distance. What these characters have in common is a mission to make the environment and life in general a little more enjoyable, humane, so to speak. On his sentimental journey to nostalgia, years prior to this event, Martin seemingly coincidentally ran into Garp. Both Martin \u0026amp; Garp had always suffered a certain discomfort with the present. Music and sounds of the past always made them feel happier and more in touch with their souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat had once started as a refuge from their life and times, turned into an odyssey to divine harmony. In his ancient Man Cave, situated in Thuredrith, Phil Martin had for years successfully worked on numerous creations until one day, he found himself at a roadblock. He believed what was missing was the Free Radical. The Free Radical is a highly sought-after entity, an errant Knight. Although dangerous on its own, when combined with the right components, it sublimates into the most noble of elements. Meanwhile, the People of Marutyri, for generations notorious time travelers and explorers of the vast Valley of Sound, spawned two highly talented descendants, called Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their quest for the divine melody, Rikki \u0026amp; Rudy crossed paths with the Free Radical and a sense of bliss was felt by all. Oblivious to the fact they had just experienced the start of an extraordinary and life changing process, the Free Radical, now dubbed \"Baer\", decided to join the young pioneers on their path. Subsequently, an immense and vibrant energy was unleashed onto the airwaves, while the trio set course for destinations unknown. These intense vibrations hadn't gone unnoticed by the refined senses of Martin \u0026amp; Garp, of course. It was like a rejuvenating breath of air which drew the duo to intercept the trio whilst on their journey. It was the crack of dawn, when The Alchemist cooked up a potion enabling all involved to take part in the same Magical Mind Excursion without ever having to meet. Dawn Patrol was born: Divine Harmony - Radicalism - Divine Melody.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41591180427420,"sku":"LEGO253CD","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_6f904bf4-6a74-44f2-b75e-6f93120fa825.jpg?v=1650276881"},{"product_id":"super-db-ecoute-ca","title":"Super db - Ecoute Ca","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LEGO239VL\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4026424011503\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 12 Aug 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Blue Eyed Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Kool Funk - Super db\u003cbr\u003e02: Wait For Me - Super db\u003cbr\u003e03: Open Line To Me - Super db\u003cbr\u003e04: Day Is Dawning - Super db\u003cbr\u003e05: Stealing Shadows - Super db\u003cbr\u003e06: Fortune And Glory - Super db\u003cbr\u003e07: Take Me Back - Super db\u003cbr\u003e08: The Eternal Optimist - Super db\u003cbr\u003e09: Party Music - Super db\u003cbr\u003e10: Dancing In A Rainstorm - Super db\u003cbr\u003e11: Love (Won't You Come And Stay With Me) - Super db\u003cbr\u003e12: Sun And Rain - Super db\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eONLY AVAILABLE IN JAPAN; GERMANY AND BENELUX UNTIL NOW, SUPER DB IN RELEASED ON VINYL WORLDWIDE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuper db is a 4-piece band from London, whose sound is a distinctive mix of Pop, Disco, Funk, Rock and Jazz.

He found his own fit in the form of Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues from half-a-century before, drawn in by records in the family collection, engaging at a visceral level, abstract from any subcultural connotations. While an outlier stylistically, he found camaraderie and direction among musically inclined peers, saving up two summers straight for a Rickenbacker guitar, getting the taste for playing live with an archetypal teenage power trio. After a move to London to study, he was without a band for a while. The Rickenbacker was sold for an archtop, and he delved deeper into his musical vocabulary - delta blues, Americana, early jazz and Rock'n'Roll. Meanwhile, via the capital's blues clubs and soul nights, he discovered a new setting for the music that had enticed him the first place, existing, not in a vacuum, but alive and in the moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA chance audition thrust him into full-time work as a touring musician. He found himself, blissfully under-qualified, serving an apprenticeship alongside conservatoire-trained jazz musicians and session pros. Meanwhile, the inevitable downtime in new cities on the road allowed for significant crate-digging between coffee spots and sound checks, while feeding off the knowledge of the players around him. Becoming more and more interested in production, ever-drawn to the Golden Era of record-making, he befriended the proprietors of Soup Studio, then an all-analogue facility based on Cable Street. He started moonlighting on production projects and learning the inner workings of a studio environment. A network was building, and when it was time to break out on his own, everything was in place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShedding the construct of a 'band' or a 'singer-songwriter', and perhaps the monoculture of contemporary music-making, he started cutting sides with a band of friends and acquaintances found along the way. Without any wider ambition, it was as much about the process as the outcome, evoking the R'n'B records of the '50s and '60s in practice rather than emulation. His first effort, the ramshackle \"You Gotta Tell Me\" became a de facto single, and after being urged to press a few copies to vinyl by a friend, it began to cause a few ripples on the local DJ scene. Meanwhile, a wild, off-the-cuff cover of 'Hit The Road Jack' caught the attention of a London music agency, giving his lineup an outlet for playing out. This included house-band sets at London establishments such as the Blues Kitchen, Old Street Records and notably at the opening of the Mary Quant Fashion Exhibition at the V\u0026amp;A Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41826919481500,"sku":"LEGO219VL","price":14.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/PMWarson-TrueStory_dec531b2-bead-4f0d-8060-4cf53ba32aa6.jpg?v=1659808512"},{"product_id":"young-gun-silver-fox-west-end-coast-cd","title":"Young Gun Silver Fox - West End Coast [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCat: LEGO097\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4026424008992\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 4th February 2016\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rock\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e01: You Can Feel It - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e02: Emilia - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e03: Better - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e04: Distance Between Us - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e05: See Me Slumber - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e06: In My Pocket - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e07: So Bad - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e08: Spiral - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e09: Saturday - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10: Long Way Back - Young Gun Silver Fox\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYoung Gun Silver Fox are musical sorcerers. On \"West End Coast\", they've fashioned a fresh and modern sound that summons one of the most vibrant and influential epochs in popular music. The ten songs herein pay homage to 1970s Los Angeles, a golden age of recording that infused the pop charts and FM airwaves with a blend of soulful voices, immaculate melodies, stellar musicianship, and sophisticated studio technology.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe forces behind Young Gun Silver Fox are Andy Platts and Shawn Lee. It was inevitable that two of the most prolific and versatile pop music linguists would one day collaborate on a studio project that crystallized many of their creative strengths. \"West End Coast\" fuses the talents they've mastered in their respective careers, from Andy's role as frontman and co-founder of UK band Mamas Gun to Shawn's numerous self-produced projects with AM and his own Ping Pong Orchestra. The authentic hybrid of styles on \"West End Coast\" is further steeped in the fact that Shawn, the team's silver-haired Silver Fox, is an American who resided in LA for seven years before relocating to London. \"Speaking for myself, this is an album I've wanted to make for some time and Andy was the only person I felt I could make it with,\" he says. \"Andy understands the classic melodic pop side as well as the soul funky side that was absolutely vital to the creation of this music. What a voice!\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded and mixed at Lee's Trans-Yank Studio in London, \"West End Coast\" straddles several sensibilities that are united by the duo's impeccable song writing. Each song is like a post card from their unique musical universe. Album opener \"You Can Feel It\" sets the tone with a soundscape that conjures the vastness of California's Pacific Coast Highway and a cool ocean breeze blowing through the chorus. London's West End sets the scene for \"Emilia,\" with a little Sunset Strip flash fuelling the song's high octane grooves. \"Better\" casually sways from one chord progression to another as layers of different instrumentation are stirred into the mix and bring the song to a fever pitch. A strand of Philly-inspired soul threads through the DNA of \"Distance Between Us\" while \"See Me Slumber\" serves up a three-minute reverie of cascading melodies.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe latter tune's coda sends the song into a whole other kind of orbit before the infectiously tuneful \"In My Pocket\" glimmers like a pot of pop music gold. In fact, little sonic treasures abound on \"West End Coast\". A vigorous horn arrangement is among several attractions on \"So Bad,\" which packs a carnival of dazzling ideas into four minutes. Elsewhere, the central question in \"Spiral\" — \"If your heart could only speak, what would it say now?\" — is accompanied by slinky and sensual cadences. \"Saturday\" operates in two gears, one that snaps and crackles and another that curves and coasts, powering the song to its swift conclusion.

He fronts Colorama, formed the Welsh folk group Bendith and hosts a regular themed radio show on Soho Radio. In 2019, Ellis embarked on the first project under his own name, Carwyn Ellis \u0026amp; Rio 18. Sung in Welsh and recorded mainly in Rio de Janeiro, the album, \"Joia!\" was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and followed by \"Mas\" in early 2020. The new album \"Yn Rio\" is a collection of new songs recorded in Cardiff together with The BBC National Orchestra Of Wales.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2017 Carwyn Ellis joined the touring line-up of The Pretenders. For Ellis, a record collector and fan of Brazilian music, the opportunity to tour South America would present opportunities he couldn't have possibly imagined when he accepted Chrissie Hynde's invitation. \"The first place we went to was Rio and by the time I met Chrissie for breakfast the day after our gig, I already had a bag of albums I'd just bought. I'm sitting with her and she says, 'You should meet my mates, and do something in Welsh with them! Nobody's done a Welsh language album with Brazilian musicians?\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2018, when Alexandre Kassin, a leading light in that Brazilian scene announced a show in London, Hynde suggested that they see it. \"I met him afterwards,\" Ellis recalls, \"and we hit it off straight away.\" Within weeks, Ellis was on a plane to Rio with songs that would form the basis of the first album. This creative purple patch extended into another album released early in 2021 with Carwyn working once again with Kassin plus long-time friend Shawn Lee. The songs on \"Mas\" drew on the environmental threats that face both Wales and South America, spidering out around the central theme of water (\"rains, no rain, droughts, rising seas and flooded valleys for corporate gain. We're screwed without it and screwed if there's too much\").\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith \"Mas\" recorded but weeks away from release, Ellis received a call from Gareth Iwan Jones, head producer of BBC Radio Cymru, offering a third album to be performed in March 2021. Ellis started to reflect upon the life-changing events triggered by his South American adventures. The Welsh word 'hiraeth' which describes the longing that Welsh people feel when they're far from home, was something that he was now beginning to feel for Rio de Janeiro: \"'Yn Rio' is based around a day in Rio,\" he explains. \"The events of 2020 influenced the record inasmuch as I wanted it to be a complete antidote to what was going on. If you couldn't go on holiday in real life, you could at least put this record on.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first single \"Olá!\", incorporating Jorge Ben's spirit in the chorus and rhythmic breakdown, manages to sound languorous and euphoric. \"Cariad, Cariad\" was a Portuguese folk poem brought to Ellis' attention by Sonya from Quarteto em Cy and arranged by Christiaan Oyens. \"Tristwch 20\" is a nod to \"Foot and Mouth 68\" by Gorkys Zygotic Mynci from \"The Blue Trees\", 'one of the most beautiful albums of all time', while \"Ynys Aur\" is named after a 1929 book by Welsh missionary J. Luther Thomas written on returning from his travels to Papua New Guinea. With Kassin unable to participate, Ellis thanks him by translating his \"A Paisagem Morta\" to create \"Y Bywyd Llonyd\". For Carwyn Ellis \"Yn Rio\" is an extraordinary memorial to extraordinary times.\"There are some days so idyllic you just want tobe able to jump back into them at the touch of a button. That's what I was searching for when I was writing these songs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42302105616540,"sku":"LEGO238VL","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/0_c5afc836-a97e-46e4-b5a7-9bf6ca8d7a63.jpg?v=1674587893"},{"product_id":"david-nesselhauf-a-guide-to-afrokraut-iii","title":"David Nesselhauf - A Guide To Afrokraut III","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: LEGO267VL\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4026424011763\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 19 May 2023\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz \/ Fusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01.

The surprising answer is – yes, there is. If you're a soulie and in town, look for the Tel Aviv Soul Club, and you might find yourself swaying across a talcum-powder covered floor to Tel Aviv's own unique blend of classic Northern Soul 45s and early 1960s R\u0026amp;B sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChances are that those 45s will come out of the record boxes of one of the brothers Neeman, Johnnie and Bin. Sons of an Israeli diplomat, they travelled abroad extensively as children, in the 1960s and 1970s, discovering the wonderful world of rare soul music on the way. Tel Aviv Soul Club, aka TASC, is the brainchild of Yashiv Cohen, a DJ who, in 2006, lured the brothers Neeman, whose massive soul collections been hitherto confined to their respective living rooms, into playing their records to the Tel Aviv public. Yashiv is also the lead singer of Men of North Country (MONC), a Tel Aviv band with a distinct sound, blending rock, British pop and soul, that has recorded two albums for the London based label Acid Jazz Records, and toured Europe numerous times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Neeman means Faithful in Hebrew, Yashiv woke up one morning with the crystallization that MONC must create a spin-off, a more puristic soul band, called the Faithful Brothers. There the biological Neeman\/Faithful brothers would be joined by some of the members of MONC and a few more musical brothers from Tel Aviv to create new, original soul and R\u0026amp;B music. With a nod to the Northern Soul slogan \"Keep The Faith\", the name seemed too perfect to waste. The fact that the Neeman brothers were collectors, and not musicians, did not bother a man of vision like Yashiv. One day, he sent Johnnie some lyrics he wrote, asking him to compose music for it. Well, Johnnie called Bin, and they met in Johnnie's record room. With Johnnie playing some of the few chords he knew on his dusty old acoustic guitar, out came Teenage Frost, the first-ever musical composition of the Neeman brothers, recorded by MONC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt took a few more years, but gradually the brothers succumbed to their fate, to continue their musical progression, from collectors to DJs to musicians. Johnnie took his guitar, Bin took to the piano, and the brothers began pouring out some of their influences, creating new songs. It is finally all coming together.
