Do Watcha Like b/w Ode to the Groove 

When it comes to authentic ghetto funk sound, Speedometer range among the scene’s best groups. The UK outfit has worked with many US legends as Sir Joe Quarterman, Eddie Bo, Marva Whitney, Robert Moore and Sharon Jones. The two uptempo deep funk numbers on this 45 have been favs of their live shows for a long time, and – to quote composer Leigh Gracie –  “some DJ’s even got acetates pressed of this track to play at clubs”. Now they are on vinyl to be played whereever you want to “do watcha like”.

SOLD OUT!

Look-Ka Py Py b/w Ease Back 

There are lots of Steel Funk recordings by huge orchestras from Trinidad and other Caribbean islands.  The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band instead combines an incredibly funky guitar-bass-drums-percussion rhythm section with a small line of pans (or steel drums). The 45 opens with a killer breakbeat that leads into an awesome rendition of the Meters standard (the title track of their second Josie album) with the themes being played in the street carnival sound of the West Indies, to “ease back” just a little on the flip side.
But where is the island of Bacao? What kind of mystery band is this? You work it out!

DJ COPY – NOT FOR SALE

Highway Patrol b/w Walkin’ the Walk

British organ genius James Taylor recorded a library album for Bruton in 2004. Though highly requested by fans to be released commercially, “The Hustle” has not yet been permitted for such a purpose by its publisher. We finally got the rights to release the brilliant tunes as part of our strictly limited vinyl series. Listen to both sides and you know  why we did: both sides are blaxploitation-blockparty-bongo-breaks at their very best.

SOLD OUT!

Chicano Chaser b/w Last Man Standing 

Originally cut in 1973, and now a part of the Bruton library, Ian Langley’s take on car chase funk opens with a phat drum/wah-beat and builds into a furious Latin Funk jam. While it has often been sampled and bootlegged, “Chicano Chaser” now gets its first official release on vinyl.
“Last Man Standing” dates back to 1968.  A variation of “Only The Brave” Italo Western theme from the old RCA Film Archives, it was made available for library purpose by BMG Ricordi and Atmosphere Music Ltd. on a production music CD called “Spaghetti Western” in 1999. Gnarls Barkley licenced it for their massive 2006 No.1 UK single  “Crazy”, giving Atmosphere a big share of the copyrights. This 45 brings the original, now legally available on your favourite format. Just add a simple drumloop and you can go crazy yourself.

SOLD OUT!

The Getaway b/w Back on the Streets 

After bringing us a 45 each, The Delta Rhythm Section and The Sound Stylistics now go head to head and back to back on Mocambo 7″ number six. The Delta boys drop a furious cinematic car-chase slice of horn’n’Hammond funk that’ll get the dancefloor in a frenzy. On the flip the Hammond and funky guitar licks take centre stage on the mid-tempo “Back On The Streets”. Superb stuff.

SOLD OUT!

The Prophet b/w Swamp Strut 

Fifth in the Mocambo series of unreleased funk gems. Jim Watson supplies the clavinet for “The Prophet” while the Mocambo All Stars give us “Swamp Strut” on the flip, two killer instrumental funk jams.

SOLD OUT!

Party People b/w Put It In The Pocket  

Third in the Mocambo series of mega rare library funk instrumental seven inches. This time the Sound Stylistics step up, with a heavyweight horn section providing the rocket to the dancefloor on the A side, while the flip is a little more relaxed, but still very horny, more soulful funk.
Originally cut for the Bruton Sound Library only, with no commercial release planned, The Sound Stylistics (made up from members of James Taylor Quartet, New Mastersounds, Brand New Heavies, The Herbaliser, Incognito and percussionist Mark ‘Snowboy’ Cotgrove!) tracks now get a full release via Mocambo. If it’s deep funk you’re after, then this is what you need!

SOLD OUT!

Funkin Fever b/w Whiplash 

First up in the series of yellow labelled Mocambo 45s are The Delta Rhythm Section and their uplifting horn filled “Funkin’ Fever”, which is flipped with the Hammond-fronted “Whiplash”. Solid unreleased dancefloor funk sounds from the Atmosphere library. Both “Funkin’ Fever” and “Whiplash” cause an instant rush to the floor and many ahead to nod. Whiplash will indeed be caused by prolonged exposure to this deep funk treasure trove.
