Hypnotic Brass Ensemble



Continuing on the brass tip. A dope clip viewed today...

Recorded on the back of the Africa Express trip to Lagos last October, during a three-day stop-over in London, with the drummer's stool shared by Malcolm Catto from the The Heliocentrics, Sola Akingbola from Jamiroquai, and the one and only Tony Allen. Another friend from the Nigeria trip, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers turned up at the session: handed Paul Simonon’s bass, parked up in the studio, he muttered, “Woah, so this is the thing that this was written on”, hammering out Guns Of Brixton. So here it is. Honest Jon’s are proud to present the gorgeous, thrilling music of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

Hot 8 - We Are One (Natural Self Remix)

El Michel Affair - Enter The 37th Chamber

Seeing as it's International Record Store day today I thought I would post a few records to keep an eye out for. The first is El Michels Enter The 37th Chamber which is an instrumental album of Wu cuts (having already released a couple 7's of bring the rukus and dual of the iron mic).
All Killer No Filler

Fatima

Bangin track I came across on the redbullmusic academy website. The tune features Cohen, Cuthead & Dorian Concept on the beat with Fatima laying down the vocals. Definately one to watch out for

This Vinyl Crushes Hard Drives


Something I picked up today...

That’s right, Daptone, Finders Keepers, Honest Jons, Jazzman, Light In The Attic, Now Again, Numero, Sublime Frequencies, Timmion, and Vampi Soul, in a rare act of collective goodwill, have come together and made a high-quality LP at a price you can actually afford. In addition to the deluxe gatefold sleeve with notes by David Fricke and Charles Aaron, we’ve stuffed the entire thing with catalogs, postcards, a magazine, CD samplers, stickers, and whatever other crap we had laying around that couldn’t be pawned off on interns.

This LP is a special release to coincide with the international record store day (18th April). So head on down to your local vinyl spot and see if theres any of these left. I imagine they're going to be ultra collectable in the future, did i mention the tracks are killer!

Black Monk

I came across Black Monk from the Day & Night EP he did with Ras G. Anyways I like the vibes this man gives off, dope vocal samples on his beats aswell.

Hot 8


First heard these guys a few years back when they released this album, which i bought on CD (a rare occurance). Anyways, hailing from New Orleans Hot 8 bring raw energy via brass, percussion and rhymes. Dope covers of Snoop, 50 Cent and Marvin Gaye
And a little vid to see how they get down in real life!

Curtis Mayfield - Roots

Some soul to marinate on from Curtis Mayfield. Nuff Said!

Kon & Amir - Off The Tracks Vol.1:The Bronx

Some BBE freshness from dirt diggers Kon & Amir.
First Mix is done by Kon which has more funky tracks with Amir providing the jazz
influence on the second. Niceness
