TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
DJ Harrison is Richmond, VA-based producer and multi-
instrumentalist Devonne Harris. The son of a radio DJ who
introduced him to the world of record collecting, Harris grew up
with music, progressing from violin, to high school drum-line, to the
Jazz Studies program at Virginia Commonwealth University. Despite
his concentration on drumming, he also continued working with
other instruments and developed an interest in sampling. Without a
computer or sampler, he learned to replay samples on the drums,
piano, bass or guitar.
DJ Harrison finds himself inspired by local musicians in the
Richmond scene that’s as diverse and nonexclusive as they come.
Amongst the likes of rappers, producers, punks and bluegrass
bands, he falls within reach of an expansive pool of musicians to
befriend and collaborate with. He lives and works in Jellowstone, a
house turned recording compound occupied by his bandmates in
Butcher Brown, a “garage punk jazz funk” group. HazyMoods —DJ
Harrison’s Stones Throw debut — was recorded there, where the
living room functions as a communal recording studio.

TRACKLISTING
Fans of the exquisite, often never-before-released funk championed
by Now Again Records are no stranger to Amnesty. Based in
Indianapolis in the early 1970s, the group released only two obscure
45s in their recording career. Birthed from the same scene as the
Ebony Rhythm Band, Amnesty had a political edge similar to LA
Carnival and the hardest brass section since The Kashmere Stage
Band.
In 1973 Amnesty recorded five hard, vocal funk numbers alongside
some ballads and a handful of demos based around nothing more
than guitar accompaniment. Only two songs were ever released;
Amnesty’s biting, difficult-to-categorize prog/rock/soul/funk stretched
far beyond Indianpolis’s bounds and the band didn’t have a label
to take them to the next level. Finally made available thirty three
years after they were recorded, these songs are funk arranged with
dangerous complexity and performed with precision – arguably the
most unique funk to originate from Naptown, and some of the best
music of its kind.

Get 2 know Nicky Benedek: a producer, songwriter, multi-
instrumentalist and DJ. His compositions bridge the nebulous
territories of house, boogie, hip-hop, jazz-fusion and experimental
new age.
Born and bred in Los Angeles, Benedek began pulling inspiration
from the city’s structural and visual dichotomies at a young age. He
picked up a guitar at 9 years-old, taking note of any and all sonic
surroundings, from prevalent West Coast G-funk to the synthesized
sound effects in video games to a Herbie Hancock record pulled
from his dad’s collection. Amongst a complex set of influences, funk
took a hold on his heart by high school.
Bene’s World is Benedek’s second Leaving Records release,
following last year’s Coolin’ EP as well as a full-length debut on
the influential Peoples Potential Unlimited label. His catalogue also
includes collaborations with Dam-Funk, Delroy Edwards and Tom
Noble. Recorded between his Koreatown studio and the West LA
home he grew up in, Bene’s World captures the characteristically-LA
mingling of urban action and canyon seclusion.

TRACKLISTING
Led by Trombonist Toli Nameless (who recorded with Antibalas on
their classic version of Willie Colon’s Che Che Colé), The Femm
Nameless picked up where the Godfather of Afro beat, Fela
Anikulapo Kuti left off, just after meeting Sandra Izsadore. They were
an 8-piece band, comprised ENTIRELY of women, with a powerful
and un-mistakable energy that could only come from a woman, or in
this case, eight women.
Unless you were in Brooklyn in 2003, you may have never heard of
the Femm Nameless, let alone these three recordings that we are
proud to bring to you today. Long defunct, the group disbanded after
some active years of performing live and recording an incredible
demo that never saw the light of day - until now.
We dug into the vaults, mastered and unearthed these jams from
Toli & The Femm Nameless the proper way, on a heavy weight piece
of 10” vinyl! The release includes a dance floor monster- a cover of
Nina Simone’s See Line Woman, flipped upside down in fine Afro
Beat fashion!
The ideas on the record were put together by Toli, along with Tom
Brenneck (of The Dapkings, The Budos Band and The Menahan
Street Band) and Ernesto Abreau (of Antibalas) . The record was
recorded and engineered in East Flatbush, Brooklyn by Sydney Mills
(of Steel Pulse).

Moby is a true electronic music pioneer. He redefined rave on
singles like 1990s “Go,” then slowed down to explore its aftermath
on the multiplatinum Play LP. Decades later, the man is still firing
off pointed, personal salvos and dance music curveballs from his
LA studio—and, in a most fitting partnership, he’s enlisted Fool’s
Gold to remix his iconic catalog on the diverse new Black Lacquer
EP. Treasure Fingers, Madeaux, High Klassified, and FG co-founder
Nick Catchdubs each put their own spin on Moby hits like “Natural
Blues” and “Porcelain,” bouncing from industrial experiments and
futuristic techno workouts to late-night house and zooted club bass.
Black Lacquer isn’t the Moby you’ve heard before, but a surprising
collection that keeps his trailblazing spirit alive. Sleeve by Wax

latest single, “Left In My Dust”. In true New Jersey fashion, the
dynamite MC duo of Tame One and El Da Sensei have joined forces

trio comfortably rejuvenates the spirit of the past in this 7” single.
Thanks to the vintage 90s era production by K-Def, this is certain to
delight fans of Artifacts’ earlier work. The title itself, “Left In My Dust”
samples one of the group’s staples, “C’mon the Git Down” and this
is as authentic as it gets for 2017. Instrumental on the b-side. Limited

Going one above today’s current wild wild west landscape of digital
sampling and officially licensing a legendary ‘60s-era song that’s
made its rounds in the golden era of sample based hip-hop. Akshin
Alizadeh, the man from Azerbaijan, is the lucky one tapped from the
label’s roster to remix Marlena Shaw’s “Woman of the Ghetto.”
The producer’s strong funk and nu-jazz influences, as well as his
ability to combine funky grooves with punchy hip-hop beats, are on
full display once again. Rightfully dramatic orchestral strings give
way to bluesy rhythmic wah-wah guitar plucking, slightly cabaret-ish
piano, pitch bending keys, and a totally sultry sax. The percussion
sounds like signature Alizadeh with a flickering hat pattern, well
placed snare rolls, and punchy interplay with the kick. For the DJs
needing to spice things up, an instrumental is included.

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
Dday One revisits Journal with a ten track extended version entitled
Journal | Extended. The release features remastered versions of the
original four tracks accompanied by six previously unreleased cuts.
The tracks on Journal | Extended date from the same period, as
the prolific Dday One was realizing a spectrum of sample-based
experiments. Influenced by personal entries from Dday One’s
studio journals (one of which is pictured in the cover art), the music
shows the producer constructing new musical possibilities within his
unique style. Flipped beats and layered samples abound, placed in
compelling arrangements that affirm Dday One’s pensive attention
to detail. Tracks like “Heiwa”, evoking the melancholia of a traveler’s
search for inner truth, “Meaning”, characterized by otherworldly tones
and textures, and “Rhythm Section”, with its playful introduction to
the cut’s instrumentation elements, are just a few highlights of this
skillful selection.
Journal | Extended was remastered by legendary Bay Area engineer
Bruce Leighton, known for his work with Public Enemy and The
Coup. The project also features photography by Dday One, including
images of notes, ideas, and sketches from his studio journals. These
photos provide an intimate look into the producer’s creative process.

Austin-based musician Eliot Lipp delivers “Skywave”; an album Lipp has been working on for the past several months. With influences from sci-fi soundtracks and 70s and 80s funk, he channels a collection of weird, high-definition, melodic beats. In these nine songs Lipp feels he “might have everything I want to say in one moment.” Recreating key musical moments in a current and relatable way was the goal in producing Skywave and giving himself permission to take some risks as well. With a versatile approach, Lipp has created opportunities to connect with some of the artists he first looked up to, playing in cities across America and abroad always returning to his hometown in the Pacific Northwest. Collaboration plays a role in all his albums. He’s been a fan of Emancipator for a years now and was beyond excited to get his “Not Quite Awake” remix. He asked DMC champ Chris Karns to scratch on ‘Joyride’. In addition to doing cuts, Chris ended up playing live drums and layering unique vocal samples.‘Reflection’ came from a jam session with Gibbz and Cherub in their Nashville studio. One of Lipp’s biggest musical influences last year came from a group of producers from Seattle that call themselves Fish Tank Friends. Most of them had a hand in the early stages of ‘Spiders’. With monthly trips planned from Texas back to Washington, he anticipates more evenings surrounded by friends, fans, and new listeners where he brings everyone together through the touch of a button. “Skywave” is released by Detroit label on Young Heavy Souls. Available on vinyl, CD and cassette.

TRACKLISTING
New Orleans Brass Funk! For the first time on a 45rpm, this single
features two tracks off of Rebirth’s Grammy-Award winning album
“Rebirth of New Orleans.” Hailed by the New York Times as “a
New Orleans institution,” the Rebirth Brass Band have been at the
forefront of the brass band revival that they helped kick off over
30 years ago. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass
bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of Funk
and Hip-Hop to create their own signature sound.
“I Like It Like That” starts off with a sousaphone horn line that’s as
muddy as the Mississippi River. When the drums and horns kick in,
you’ll wanna jump up and party like it’s Mardi Gras!
“Do It Again” is an infectious party anthem (Geaux Saints!) that’ll stir
your Soul and make you wanna lose your drawers at the same time!
In the words of Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea, “Hard as hell,
free as a ray of light, there is not a band on earth that is better.
Stunning.”

Formed in late-2016, Saint Petersburg, Russia’s “The Vicious Seeds”
got to work, bringing their heavy, guitar-driven funk to the people. For
music lovers and dancers alike, this guitar/bass/drums/percussion
unit ditched their punk past and dove headfirst into the sounds of
1970’s Library Music (Music owned by labels and created specifically
to place as background tracks for TV, radio, and film projects). What
came out of their studies was some hard-driving funk with catchy
hooks that’ll keep you coming back for more.
During the 2017 New Year holiday, The Vicious Seeds hunkered
down in an underground recording studio to lay down their brand
new, old-school sound onto 4-track tape. Here, from Lugnut Brand
Records is their debut recording. Sneaker Collector b/w African Spy,
is sure to delight the hardcore funk-heads as well as the DJ set.

TRACKLISTING
Transmitting crucial beats from Burlington, the Vermont-based
producers Es-K and Loupo have crafted a smooth, introspective
long-player for the Cold Busted label titled Symbiosis. Holland-born
Es-K (Essential Knowledge) is known for his monthly Spontaneous
Grooves series (where a collection of tracks are created in one
sitting) and his vital 2016 album Passages. Fellow VT rhythm-
wrangler Loupo is also on the rise, with a recent album on the
Melody Soul label named Good Company. This new collaborative
release, Symbiosis, is a brilliant meeting-of-the-minds, blending the
styles of these two talents over the course of ten tracks. The result
is deep and meaningful as well as groovy and ‘headz approved,’
showcasing the duo’s penchant for envelope pushing in terms of
atmosphere, melody, and rhythm.
From the opening chords of “Aqua” – reminiscent of expansive works
from the likes of Lonnie Linston Smith – Symbiosis sets itself apart in
the realm of beat-conscious production projects. Sparkling Rhodes
piano, a winding jazz bass line, and an overall pensive vibe lead
midway into a funky drum part, which almost seems curiously added
as an afterthought. The fusion-istic instrumentation and understated,
downbeat rhythm flavor continue throughout Symbiosis, shining on
cool cuts like “Road To”, the tough, slow motion stepper “Gavel”,
“TwoTone” with its jerky beats and film noir attitude, and “CooLit”s
cosmic quiet storm meditation. Es-K and Loupo are onto something
unique and special, and Symbiosis lays out their fruit of their sonic
exploration for all to enjoy.

TRACKLISTING
Two summers ago, Roy and Yvonne got together on a stage again after 45 years dedicated to their personal lives away from their artistic careers. Promoter and producer Mark Morales and Wally Caro, from Los Angeles, were responsible for bringing Roy and Yvonne back to where they belong, the stage, at an intimate and emotional concert enjoyed by about a hundred people. During the following months and until today, Roy and Yvonne continued what destiny had written out for them since the day they were born: continue their musical legacy worldwide. Roy and Yvonne have consolidated themselves as generational musicians, able to adapt to changing times without forgetting the roots or their music. They continue to please their audiences here and there, often more committed and respectful than their fellow islanders. No one is a prophet in his own land. Speaking of the album, ‘Moving On’ invites us to dive deep into the great sounds of Ska and Rocksteady music. For this occasion, Roy and Yvonne worked with some fabulous studio musicians under the direction of Teddy Garcia in Washington DC. Mixed by the renowned producer Mike Mariconda, you can enjoy eight covers and two original songs on this album that the artists have carefully selected for your listening pleasure. The songs stand out for their intriguing composition and arrangements adapted to Jamaican rhythms. Our time travel commences with the first sounds in the album. The opener shuffle ‘Surely I Love You’ is followed by ‘My Baby’ and ‘Ooh La La’. ‘My Jealous Eyes’ gives way to the lovely rocksteady ‘Someday’. ‘You Brought Me Back To Life’ is another great Rocksteady track sung by Yvonne Harrison. The two original songs ‘Moving On’ and ‘You Say No’ deserve a special mention, with the former being the name giver to the album. After this journey through different grooves, Mr. Panton waves goodbye with the fearless reggae rhythm ‘I Dig You Baby’, he did not have much opportunity to highlight this style in his career, but it shows once again the courage, passion and dedication with which he continues to exceed his fans’ expectations with new and danceable rhythms. ‘Moving On’ is a talisman that will surely bring more and new success to Roy and Yvonne. You hold in your hands the first studio album recorded by the duo throughout their career. And from this day, it has already become a classic and a collector’s item.

TRACKLISTING
“We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy performing it for you!” That’s how Tommy McCook used to greet to the audience by at every performance of The Skatalites that he hosted. Since reforming after an almost 20 year hiatus in 1983, and beginning regular touring as a unit in 1989, they have not stopped thrilling audiences in every corner of the globe. Even after 48 years, and various lineup changes as members leave one stage for another, the band continues to perform and record new music in the inimitable Jamaican style, like only they can. The road has been long and hard, and sadly, seen most of the original members pass on. Often asked “when will you stop?” and “how do you keep doing it after all these years?”, the answer is simple: never - It’s the love of the music and the way our fans respond that keep us going Forward! Featuring original alto sax man Lester “Ska” Sterling and vocalist Doreen Shaffer, along with the current lineup of outstanding musicians they have chosen to accompany them, the band proudly presents Walk With Me -their long-awaited collection of newly recorded classics and brand new compositions. This new release features some of the last tracks ever recorded by founding member and legendary drummer Lloyd Knibb, who not only perfected the ska beat but paved the way for nearly every single reggae drummer after him. “Love Is The Way” was the last song he recorded. RIP. We are forever indebted to the inspiration and talent of Roland Alphonso, Lloyd Brevett, Don Drummond, Jerome “jah jerry” Haynes, Lloyd Knibb, Tommy McCook, Donat “Jackie” Mittoo, John “Dizzy Johnny” Moore, and Lester Sterling, collectively known as The Skatalites. Thanks to all who gave so much of themselves to make this project possible and pleasurable.

Monika Johnson, better known as Doreen Shaffer, is arguably
the most active original Jamaican singer of the last 50 years. A
founding member of The Skatalites since 1963, she has toured the
world countless times, taking the legacy of Ska, Rocksteady and
Reggae music to the most remote parts of the planet, from the most
underground venues to the most important festivals.
Her work at the head of The Skatalites is probably the one that will
consecrate her and for which she will be remembered for centuries,
however, her brief solo work, like this single which we are presenting
today, endorses her as one of the best Jamaican singers of all time.
The independence of Jamaica in 1962 brought a musical creativity
of which not only the island still profits today. The Steadytones, from
southern Germany, recreate that golden age, making it tangible,
audible and perceptible. A perfect band for backing the ‘First Lady
of Ska’.
Great interpreters of the variety of styles that emerged in the 1960s,
especially in Jamaica, but also in other corners of the world, The
Steadytones take their “explosive reggay” sound far beyond the
borders of their native Germany. Their work with renowned and
influential artists as Stranger Cole, Keith & Tex or Doreen Shaffer,
endorse them as one of the most appreciated bands nowadays.
The chemistry produced when Doreen met The Steadytones was
registered in the studio and pressed in this single of exquisite
production in which you can find two standards from the last century,
taking them to their field and giving them a complete new dimension
for our enjoyment, an indispensable release In the discography of
any good music lover.

In 1964 Roy Ellis, a Jamaican teenager, released two of his first
compositions backed by the best talents from Jamaican music:
Ernest Ranglin on guitar, Georgie Fame on organ, Tony Washington
on piano, Eddie ‘Tan Tan’ Thornton playing trumpet, Rico on
trombone, Sonny Burke on sax, among some others who Roy Ellis
can’t properly remember now, after half a century.
Roy Ellis recalls: “I met a guy called Sonny Burke, he was a singer,
saxophone player and producer. He was always looking for young
talent at that time, so I went to him to introduce myself. I remember
this time very clearly... Well I tried to write some songs. I came with
three titles that I wrote: ‘I Don’t Want You Anymore’ (aka ‘Another
Man’), ‘Everyday You Got Me Crying Girl’, ‘Mr. Wang’. He liked all
three of them, but he only recorded two. In the studio, at that time,
playing rhythm Guitar on the record, was the master Ernest Ranglin,
on the organ was Georgie Fame, on the piano was Tony Washington,
on Trumpet was Eddy Tantan, who much later became a member of
Georgie Fame & the Blue Fame Band. So we recorded the songs
‘Another Man’ and ‘Mr. Wang’.
Then Roy Ellis met his colleagues with whom formed The Bees,
Pyramids, Symarip, etc. and sold millions of records, and the rest is
history… until nowadays, when Roy Ellis is one of the most prolific
and recognized Jamaican talents, having released over 50 records
and played live all over the world.

Produced by Boris Gardiner, originally was released on Bronco label
as a strictly limited single, released as a ‘blank’ record. Producers
and sound system owners used to release this kind of 7” with a
blank label so that the other sound systems couldn’t know the artist
performing and get a copy for their dances. There was a big rivality
among the sound systems for getting the records with the most
enthusiastic response from the audience at the dance floors, that’s
the reason why they wanted to hide the credits.
Roy Panton recalls: “We recorded these two songs at the Federal
Studio in 1969, at that time the studio had just expanded in size and
tracks, I don’t remember exactly how many tracks, but I’m sure it was
more than 2. That was my first time recording on more than 2 tracks.
I also remember Leslie Butler played Organ and Patrick McDonald
on Guitar, Boris Gardiner on Bass. After we finished the recording
Boris went back to the studio and dubbed in the chimes with the
Hammond Organ. It was first released on a blank label by Boris.
That’s what I remember.”
‘Endless Memory’ was reissued in his successful compilation entitled
‘Roy Panton & Yvonne Harrison and Friends - Studio Recordings
1961-1970’ (Liquidator Music 2012). On the flip side there is ‘Tell Me’,
a great rocksteady track which has not been repressed never again
in any format.

TRACKLISTING
Now available on limited edition gold cassette: Trumpeter and composer Josef Leimberg launches his debut full-length Astral Progressions. Hitting vinyl prints and digital formats with the Alpha Pup Records jazz imprint World Galaxy, Astral Progressions is a powerful record in the canon of 21st century music. It also continues the momentum Leimberg achieved on the Kendrick Lamar Grammy Award-winning album To Pimp A Butterfly. A hybrid state of jazz fusion, world music, R&B and golden era hip hop instrumentalism. Josef Leimberg has created a rich tapestry of sound that fits right in with the resurgence of progressive music in the 2010’s, launching out on his own terms after an impressive career of guest work.
Leimberg gained a unique level of traction with his work on the multiple Grammy Award-winning Kendrick Lamar LP To Pimp A Butterfly. Credited under the LoveDragon moniker with Terrace Martin, his time with To Pimp A Butterfly only represents a small fragment of his accomplishments. His collaborative resume over the decades is astounding, consisting of production, writing and feature credits with Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Robin Thicke, Shafiq Husayn, Funkadelic, Freestyle Fellowship, Dr. Dre, Murs, King Tee, Suga Free, Saafir and Busdriver. These connections have undoubtedly spread life all over Astral Progressions.
Leimberg’s debut album features an array of innovators and game changers in modern progressive music. Kamasi Washington, Bilal, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kurupt, Terrace Martin and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson are just a small list of the brilliant minds that make the Astral Progressions outing special. Many of the featured artists became involved with the LP through world renowned creator Shafiq Husayn. Leimberg would connect with various musicians associated to his camp through studio recordings, gigging and rehearsals, building on his compositions in a very organic and social way.
Kurupt connects with Astral Progression’s cosmic message unlike anything else he’s done before, lending his verbal talents over a cosmic west coast flavor.

TRACKLISTING
L-One is a young Munich hip-hop beat smith and a lover of drum
computers. At only 24-years-old, he already has a considerable
discography as a producer including projects such as ATP’s “C’est
La Vie Or What?” (2016 on Bumm Clack) as well as Weltuntergäng’s
“Dogmatikers Elfen” (2014 on Tieftonkultur). As a part of Akere and
Manufaktur, he also ventured into new genres in the recent years
and provided new approaches to TripHop and Dubstep.
On the Farska LP, L-One processes his impressions of his vacation
in Croatia in 2015 and 2016. Every song was created on the beach
with only an MPC60, which carries its title either of the meal (2015)
or the drink (2016) of the previous evening.
Far away from civilization and the daily grind: a calm bay on the
southside of a small Croatian island. No one around, just a few
cabins. The sound of the sea blending in with the chirping of the
crickets, melted candle wax between spilled olive oil and empty
matchboxes. A magical place, where you automatically start to think
differently – where you find peace – and focus on the essentials:
nature, food and creativity. Fresh ingredients, a few samples, a field
recorder, lots of atmosphere and a drum computer. This way, new
impressions are immediately processed and organic instrumentals
come into being almost by themselves while the swimsuits are
drying in the evening sun. The Farska LP is a collection of these
sensations – a very special postcard. Calm audio waves inspired by
the vibe of the past two summer vacations. An album close to nature
that wakens wanderlust.
