“Filled with french perverse 70’s LSD funk, some monstrous jazz + samba flipouts, several cult and very influental songs mixed with ridicule of The Beatles and the non-existent hippie-parody Dewey Cox himself.
This small collection went through some big changes over time. At first, I made it the most obvious way – indie experiments with japanese and NY noise bands (OOIOO, Optimo, Pullsallama etc.) but that was simply to simple, raw and it was’nt “romantic” and humorous enough. So I basically shifted entirely from that direction into sex, retro, french, jazz, kinky, ridiculous direction and tried to make a sort of a “soundtrack” that is not that tough at rhythm but more into the freedom loving atmosphere of the swinging sex organs.
Standout tracks, and maybe tracks that make this comp a must have (for those who never heard them before) are definitely: the gorgeous and life-fulfiling, jamming Andrew Bird’s Coney Island Shuffle, Janko Nilovic’s by far the best composition Xenos Cosmos from 1972 (the last 1 minute of the song is golden and the rest of his work is mostly crap), magickal Senor Coconut’s – Rydeen, of course Serge Gainsbourg’s cult classic Bonnie and Clyde, Sohail Rana’s Soul Sitar – a perverse take on bollywood humour (Guys from Ninja Tune label had lots of fun remixing this gem) and the infinite Piggies - spitting humour from The Beatles. Also, I should mention Marsha Hunt with her nipple shaking (Oh No! Not) The Beast Day, a strangely missed groovy 70’s funk club hit.” – Bleeding Panda

Hoo-ee..this gritty gem came through to me recently on the email (meatskull@gmail.com). It’s a prize coupling of Cosmo Baker and 4th Pyramid and…well, i’ll let this tell you more:
“DJ extraordinaire Cosmo Baker (The Rub, NYC) and MC/Producer phenom 4th Pyramid (Toronto) jokingly came up with the concept of THE SHEEN BROTHERS one balmy Manhattan evening: A duo of slicked-out sleazestars tuned into the greasy funk and drippy disco sounds that make girls lose control and guys feel like macks hit the stage in style to turn the party out. Unbeknownst to them, the two hit on a virtual party rocking monster machine that’s no joke. With Cosmo on the ones and twos and Pyramid on the MPD, these two have smoothed out their own brand of sexy dance floor flavor, what they like to call Scumbag Funk, and the people want more. What can they say…it’s a Sheen thing.
Now, you can get your greasy fingers on a piece of SHEEN with this, their much anticipated mix, Scumbag Funk Vol. 1. Out the gates first with an electrifying mix of the dankest drippy-disco around is SHEEN Brother, 4th Pyramid. Get ready for the funk at its finest, being a sleaze ball never felt this good.”

Classy beat tape from Sydney legend Chasm.
Chris Hamer-Smith aka Chasm is a Sydney based hip hop producer who is heavily influenced and inspired by soul, roots, reggae and jazz music – all of which is highly evident in the construction of his unique production that results in Chasm bringing a distinctive flavour to Australian hip hop. With a penchant for old analogue gear and dusty vinyl, this beat-smith can most often be found deep in the crates of his local record store.
New album with Vida Sunshine out soon!

Via Monotape, a shit hot proper R&B mix for the weekend ahead.
Paul Murphy is among an ultra-rare group of eclectic UK DJ’s, first WIRE Magazine DJ of the Year in 1985 whose remarkable path of music history continues to this day. He currently DJ’s internationally he’s used to run Afro Art label & a record store. (One of his employees was a young up-and-coming DJ named Gilles Peterson). Surely, the years of spinning and collecting music must have facilitated a library of musical ideas and directions for a debut album.
“There used to be a really great radio programme on BBC Radio london back in the day, “Honky Tonk” hosted by renowned author, record producer and music expert Charlie Gillett. I learned more about music from that programme than any before or since. He used to play a huge amount of rhythm and blues, rock and roll and modern (at that time) funk and soul. I first heard “Big Chief” by Professor Longhair and The JB’s “Hot Pants Road” through him.
Many years went by and i got into other things and radio london became radio bigot. I went to japan with Gaz “Rockin Blues” Mayall in 1986 where we both were dj’ing , me jazz, latin etc, him playing 1950’s black rhythm and blues. He blew my mind completely with his tunes. When i came back i started to buy ‘em and play ‘em in the clubs i was dj’ing at, the “Sol y Sombra” in Charlotte Street, London and also playing them at a west indian “blues” in euston road where the old dudes taught me a hell of a lot about the roots of reggae..”its Arrl from Roscoe Gordon and Bill Doggett marn!”… But thats another story..” – Paul Murphy
