News

I Am Sam is a singer songwriter with a groove and a point.  Born and bred in south London but now based in Sydney, Australia, I Am Sam has been making waves with his blend of laid back grooves, humorous, relevant lyrics and hooks that stick like super glue.  The writing and recording of I Am Sam’s forthcoming debut album ‘A Sober Thought’, took place in the UK with production duo JetTricks at the helm, crafting a long player that is a journey through pop culture mixed up with a sprinkle of hip hop and a dash of reggae sauce for flavour all seen through the eyes of Sam.  The sunshine of OZ with the hard edge of the UK come together with an ease and form that’s perfect for the summer.  This Londoner is definitely kickin’ it with the release of his  debut single Let It Pump c/w Heartstrings & Where's That Love?.  The release date set is 23rd August, so get ready to turn the volume up and get ya sunglasses on.

 

It’s over a year since South London production team JetTricks debut album Remote Control was released to great critical acclaim and Paul Elliott and Jamie Lawrence have been busy recording their follow up All One Word released on Légère Recordings in April.  Not content with their signature infectious grooves and hooks, they've collaborated with a host of singers and musicians including Detroit’s soul man Marcus Malone, UK songstress Andrea Britton, the ballistic Hammond of Stephen ‘Lord’ Large and ‘Noisettes’ guitar wizard Dan Smith.  JetTricks love of all music is evident and remains the core of their belief that different genres can lay side by side on an album and boundaries are just there to be crossed.

Release in Spring Rodina’s debut album Over the Sun is a cool blend of chill-out and pop.  Originally from Co. Laois in Ireland she moved to the UK as a youngster and grew up within the diverse Leeds music scene.  Rodina has a unique style of her own and has been compared to Morcheeba, Goldfrapp & the legendary Astrud Gilberto.  With ethereal vocals and a great depth in production, her self-penned songs are catchy and embracing.  Over The Sun features The Haggis Horns (Mark Ronson's live band & horn section for Jamiroquai & Amy Winehouse) and Joe Tatton (Corinne Bailey Rae & The New Mastersounds) who also produced the album.  March saw the release of the double-A side single Always Had A Dream & Over The Sun.  2010 should be a great year for Rodina.

Adam Gibbons aka Lack Of Afro has established an unrivalled reputation as one of the most crucial names at work in funk and dance music today.  His 2007 debut album Press On was a labour of love for Adam who applied his skills as producer/DJ, composer & multi-instrumentalist to create this contemporary classic.  With My Groove, Your Move, released on Freestyle in October 2009, the signature Lack Of Afro elements remain with tracks like Special Baby, Mo' Filth & Beautiful Here and Adam introduces vocal contributions from Wax & Herbal T on International & the amazing Roxie Ray (Dojo Cuts) on Tell Me What Happens Now.  My Groove, Your Move is an even more confident, assured and mature collection than its predecessor.

Trojan Records new 2CD range has been announced…

A celebration of the Trojan label itself, ‘The Heavy Heavy Monster Sound’ will highlight some of the label's great music over the past 42 years.  Disc one focuses upon the UK chart hits, while the second disc features twenty lesser known tracks from the archives, almost all of which have remained unavailable since their original issue.  One such track is George Dekker's recording of the Sydney Crooks song 'Shub In' (Original UK release: Trojan, TRO-9089A) which was a smash hit for Frankie Paul.

Released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of 2 Tone in 2009 Ska Mania features The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Selecter, The Beat, The Skatalites, The Ethiopians and loads more.  The 2-Tone movement and its multi racial message came along when racism was a huge problem.  It aimed at educating the general public about racial dis-harmony & unite cultures.  This album mixes classic 60's Ska and 2 Tone's anthems including The Selecter's interpretations of Sydney Crooks & George Agard's Everyday & their 60's classic Dem a Laugh And A Kiki by The Soulmates.  This is the perfect 2CD set for any Ska & 2 Tone fans as it features all iconic artists from this unique era in British music history.
