A Photography Book About Vinyl Collectors - Dust & Grooves.

Dust & Grooves is a photo and interview project documenting and exalting vinyl records, the people who love them, and the musical heritage they carry.

With a website launched in October 2008 by Brooklyn-based professional photographer and vinyl addict Eilon Paz, D&G profiles individual collectors from all over the world in their natural environment – usually at home with their personal collections. Each subject is interviewed in depth about their devotion to vinyl, then each conversation is paired with a beautiful series of portrait photographs by Eilon that capture the heart and soul of this passionate avocation. Together, words and images tell the story of the love affair between collector and collection, and preserve a record of music that otherwise might be lost.

Dust and Grooves is such a fantastic website. It would be great to see this project get the money it deserves to go to print. Pledge anything over a buck and show your support over HERE

Ka - Summer

That latest installment to KA's Grief Pedigree. This is one of my favourite cuts from the LP. I thinks as far as visuals and editing goes this would have to be a standout for me. Perfect.

Lee Fields & The Expressions - Faithfull Man

Back in May last year I had the opportunity to see Lee Fields & The Expressions at South Paw, Brooklyn NYC. The show was mind blowing. I wont go into details but this man's stage presence and voice complemented by The Expressions creating this fresh, new soul sound yet still drawing from the old sound(think what El Michels Affair did with 36 chambers) was nuts live. Motherfucker has them dapper boogie moves and the eye fuck on them ladies down pat too.
Anyways his new album dropped last week. Get a hardcopy or digital HERE.

"Since the late sixties Lee Fields has amassed a prolific catalog and has played and toured with such legends as Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, O.V Wright, and many more. With a career spanning 43 years, it’s mind-blowing that the music he’s making today with Brooklyn’s Truth & Soul Records is the best of his career. While drawing comparisons to The Moments, The Delfonics, The Stylistics, and—of course—James Brown, Faithful Man is able to create a space of it’s own due to the group’s desire to interpret and further the formulas of good soul music rather then imitate them. Chalk that up to Truth & Soul producers and co-owners Jeff Silverman and Leon Michels. These are the same individuals that co-wrote, produced, and played on Aloe Blacc’s global smash I Need A Dollar, and have provided the back drop for records by Adele, GhostfaceKillah, and Jay-Z to name a few. “The older Fields becomes, the closer he gets to perfecting the sound of soul” said DJ Oliver Wang about Fields in an NPR feature. Faithful Man is the next step towards perfection. A step that will find Lee Fields & The Expressions finally being bestowed the contemporary soul music crown."

I'll leave you with this clip of Lee covering Bobby Hebb’s ‘Sunny’. This all sounds so much better a that little BK sweat box but you know where I'm comin from.

Dont Miss This

Tape Death & M dusu Present: Des Chansons Sur Les Filles

Tape Death & I are pleased to drop the next volume of the canon - an instrumental release called Des Chansons Sur Les Filles.

Running 12 tracks deep, this release is a celebration of ladies & love - some grown folk music. I went with a mix of 60s-70s vinyl sampling, over-saturated live instruments & analogue-treated synths, & went with traditional soul/R&B chord progressions mixed with wonky futuristic rhythms.

It might not be to your taste, & I'm cool with that - I was going for something, & I think i achieved most of my goals. Hopefully that makes for interesting listening for some of you.

Cheers, MD.

I cant give you much of info about on this guy, all I know is that he frequents the forum boards and gets down with a gang of producers going under the name Tape Death.
The whole thing sets a pretty layed back and Lo-Fi feel which works well for me. Reminds me of a recent record I purchased from the Hi-Hat club series...Well swung drums, soulful vocal samples, ambient background layered with a touch of synth. Good shit.

GoodFelons & Roc Marciano Present : The Prophecy EP

GoodFelons and Roc Marciano proudly presents the debut release on GoodFelons, Roc Marciano - The Prophecy EP. Roc first made waves in the underground scene when him and production and rhyming partner, Ox, dropped the now-classic Noose Vol#1 in 1997. Having been well received by the likes of Stretch & Bobbito and featured on countless mixtapes, this record has eluded many hip hop fans for years.

GoodFelons has stepped in and for our initial release, we've decided to go back and remaster the original Noose Vol #1, and add two new certified bangers from the same sessions. The previously unreleased and unheard Drama and Same Ol' Same are the two new tracks being added to this release, and we hope you find them to be as dope as we did when we first heard them. Its a shame it took 14 years to see these get pressed, but better late than never right? You will also find The Prophecy in all three original mixes, just like on the original, as well as Zo & Ox's Spinnin, all sounding fresher than ever thanks to some fantastic and much-needed remastering.

This record is limited to 275 hand-numbered copies, with a color stickered cover. First 50 pre-orders will also receive as a bonus, their record jacket signed by Roc Marciano. And lastly, we have 5 sealed original Noose Vol#1 that we are giving away with the purchase of this reissue. They have been assigned to random numbers of the 275, so even if you end up ordering #275, there is still a chance you can walk away with an original.
