James Brown Regrooved

Goodgroove Records background...

Originally a prolific club night deep in the south west of England, Goodgroove was known for serving up a unique mash up of disco, funk and breaks. As the popularity of the Goodgroove sound grew, starting record label was a natural evolution because the music played in the club was highly sought after, but not easily available for DJ's to buy. The first EP to be released on Goodgroove 'The Regrooved Series 1' is a collection of the best tracks straight from the original club night which proved to be even more popular than anticipated, and so this successful theme has expanded into the Goodgroove label releasing the best tracks from funky club nights around the world. Fans and followers of the label include; Norman Jay, Andy Smith, Freddie Fresh, Daddy G (Massive Attack), DJ Yoda, Craig Charles, Boca 45, A Skillz. Why all the support? Well, once a DJ buys a Goodgroove record, it will be in that DJ's record bag for every gig - because every cut is a straight up floor filler.

So all you have to do is burn up those dancefloors worldwide and tell the people where the music comes from.

Guilty SImpson - Man's World

Some of you might have heard this killer tune on the Stones Throw podcast a few weeks back, and now it's finally available on wax. Produced by the late J Dilla who to some will be remembered as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time this samples James Brown's classic track and has Stones Throw's Guilty Simpson drop some verses over the top to create one of the most memorable hip hop 12"s I've heard on the label in the last few years. A killer tune that's sure to get some serious rotation - this is one you won't lose sight of...

Bullion- Young Heartache

Wonderfully well-made psych-soul productions from Bullion, combining chopped-up digitised hip hop with an ear for warped pop narratives. The EP's title track leads the way with disorientatingly high levels of compression and sliced-up, pitch-scrambled samples. For all its eccentricities the production retains a solid song-like focus, maintaining a heavy duty beat in the process. Another EP highlight is the gauzy, altered-state disco of 'Time For Us All To Love', which has a magical Boards Of Canada-visit-Studio 54 feel. Highly recommended

Lone - Joy Reel BW Sunset Teens

Prime pick from the Werk Discs camp delivering the first 12" from new signing Lone. The more clued up beat heads among you will remember his 'Lemurian' album from last year, a set which recieved critical acclaim from many corners of the industry falling for his sun-shot blend of post-Dilla hip-bop and shimmering synthlines akin to the likes of Flying Lotus or Werk bloke Lukid. 'Joyreel' is eerily reminiscent of prime Boards of Canada and classic ...
