Caroline’s sultry vocals, the sunny vibe and the infamous Mocambo sound make an extraordinaire 45.

45-1027 :: KIND & KINKY ZOO

45-1027Party Chez Le Marquis b/w Kinky Regards

The first single for this young Swiss group, and what a debut! This retro-futuristic release is funky as hell, embodied and organic. Heavy grooves with a touch of psych/prog. Equipped with a monstrous organ, thunderous bass, spaced out flute and a drumsound that is worth every penny alone, K&KZ are now ready to destroy dancefloors worldwide.

45-1026 :: THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS

45-1026blackCalling The Shots Part 1 b/w Calling The Shots Part 2

A new dancefloor bomb from the Mighty Mocambos! Opening with a killer bongo/cowbell drumbreak and turning into a frantic & brass-heavy anthem, this 45 leaves no doubt about who is “calling the shots” in the game. The flip side features a DJ-friendly 4min mix of the drums and percussions only.

45-1025 :: PAIKAN & THE SADHUS / THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS

45-1025aAnanda The Great b/w Ballad Of The Bombay Sapphires

Sitar genius Paikan (from Toulouse, France) debuted with a superb EP on Jazzman records in 2008. On this exclusive Mocambo 45, he is backed on the first side by his group the Sadhus for a fiery slice of chasing sitar funk, while the flip side sees the Mighty Mocambos providing the background for a laid back and groovy piece of psychedelic soul in their trademark sound. Both tracks are highly recommended for rare groove afficionados that look for something unique in today’s deep funk scenario.

SOLD OUT!

 

45-1024 :: THE DARK KNIGHTS OF SOUL feat. THE HAGGIS HORNS

45-1024Fatso b/w Doing The Tick

When not giving up the funk under their own name, the Haggis Horns’ members lend their talent to the creme of UK Pop, such as Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Jamiroqui, Duran Duran, Corinne Bailey-Rae and Lily Allen, to name a few. Mark Ronson hired them for his UK tour, featured them in the Valerie video and calls them “the best f***ing horn section in the world”. Enough of props and namedropping – here they play with an obscure Mancunian group, the Dark Knights Of Soul. Mocambo Records is pleased to offer these two joyful, downright funky and horn-heavy cuts exclusively to the dedicated vinyl 45 buyer.

45-1023 :: IKEBE SHAKEDOWN

45-1023Up In The Trees b/w Afro Fred – SOLD OUT!

Brooklyn-based Afro-Funk juggernaut Ikebe Shakedown unleashes a fiery mix of sweaty Afro rhythms, deep funk, and gritty disco. These two tracks are taken from their debut EP. They were recorded at Dunham Studios in Brooklyn (Budos Band, Menahan Street Band) and have received a great response from press/radio (BBC6, WWOZ New Orleans). We are pleased to release these nuggets courtesy of Colemine Records (Ohio) on a limited edition 45 in beautiful silver and purple!

SOLD OUT!

45-1022 :: THE JIVE TURKEYS

A wicked double sider from Ohio-based group the Jive Turkeys, courtesy of Colemine Records. After a few succesful 45s in the US, this is their first European release, taken from their debut album album “Bread & butter”. Raw instrumental funk as we love it!

MLP 1004 :: THE DELTA RHYTHM SECTION

DRS_LP_Cover_RZ_neu_26022010.inddIN THE BAG

Release date: 3.5.2010 SOLD OUT!

Mocambo Records strikes back with a new full length, ltd. edition, vinyl-only album by the Delta Rhythm Section – any rare groove lover’s dream-come-true.
The obscure group is one of the last and best kept secrets of the deep funk movement.
In the past years, the Vinylizor production team of Gary Crockett, Jay & Dominic Glover has produced true deep funk treasures with the crème of the London Funk scene.
Band members from the James Taylor Quartet, the New Mastersounds, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, the Sound Stylistics, Incognito & percussionist Snowboy all contributed to the legendary sessions that went into archives but never saw the light of a commercial release.
After having released two tremendously successful 45s of the group, the now mega rare “Funkin Fever” and “Nassau Strut”, Mocambo Records reveals 12 more unreleased tracks.
But it is not just about the rareness of these recordings, it’s about the pure musical passion and vibe that lives in every second of this album.
From the killer jazz funk of “Get It On” (used in a Musicload TV commercial), psychedelic grooves of “The Trip” through heavy soul instrumentals as “Hot Fudge”, raw funk bangers as “Uptown Strut” to the latin soul of “Homecookin’”, the 12 tracks make up the must have album of 2010 for every deep funk connaisseur on the planet.
Better forget the clones: this is serious break-heavy, creative, danceable & raw funky sound that will leave you breathless and redefine the genre soul-jazz in just 36 minutes.
Beautifully manufactured high-quality vinyl. Barcode-free-old-style jacket.
