Chi Talo EP Vol 2
Cat: MRB 1259. Rel: 01 Mar 24
New Sound Quartet - "Bass Construction" (Marc Davis edit) (5:47)
The Saucer Planes - "Straight To The Point" (Marc Davis edit) (8:13)
Review: Producer, DJ, and revered collector Marc Davis returns to his Chi-Talo series with a much-anticipated second volume. The Chi-Talo series deals in split EPs; each entry draws on an ultra-rare Chicago house gem and an Italian disco record respectively (one for the A and one for the B), re-working both into an enduring dialectal retelling of each city's contemporaneous come-ups in the 1980s and 90s. This time around, we're met with a reconstruction of 'Bass Construction', first heard on the Italo disco album Crazy Colours by New Sound Quartet (1979). Then comes a wonky, handclapping rendition of The Saucer Planes' 'Straight To The Point', the original of which can hardly be found on the net at all, even now. Both are huge but humble versions, marking out the guidelines for yet more editors to come.

For The Love Of Money
Cat: MRB 7133. Rel: 31 Jan 18
For The Love Of Money (4:05)
For The Love Of Money (disco dub) (4:14)
Review: Disco Dub Band's "For The Love of Money", a one-off collaboration between producer Davitt Sigerson and reggae musician Mike Dorane, has long been considered something of a classic by those who like their disco to come with a big dose of dub-wise flavour. Here the instrumental O'Jays cover, which originally appeared on the Movers label in 1976, is given the remix treatment by long-time fans Mr Bongo. The superb A-side, in which Dorane's instrumental talents take centre stage, naturally comes accompanied by the frequently played Dub interpretation, a typically wild and bass-heavy affair that sounds like it was mixed "live" in one take in true Lee Perry/King Tubby style. If it's not already in your collection, it should be.

Brazil 45 Boxset Vol 2: Curated By DJ Marky (Record Store Day RSD 2021)
DJ MARKY / VARIOUS
Cat: MRB 7173. Rel: 26 Jun 21
Marcos Valle - "Os Grilos" (2:32)
Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti - "Eva" (5:49)
Orlandivo - "Tamanco No Samba" (3:39)
Elis Regina - "Noves Fora" (2:24)
Bebeto - "Agua Marinha" (3:07)
Joyce - "Aldeia De Ogum" (4:35)
Som Tres - "Emilia" (2:14)
Trio Mocoto - "Nao Adianta" (4:10)
Dominguinhos - "Baiao Violado" (3:57)
Jorge Ben - "Take It Easy My Brother Charles" (2:38)
Review: Anyone who has heard DJ Marky do one of his "non D&B" sets will know that his love of funk, soul, disco and boogie is real, while there's far more classic Brazilian music in his record collection than some may expect. It makes sense then that he's been asked to provide the follow-up to DJ Format's Brazil 45s box set and pick some vintage carnival-ready gems of his own from Mr Bongo's bulging vaults. There are naturally some stone-cold classics present - see Jorge Ben's floor-slayer 'Take it Easy My Brother Charles' and the boogie-era smoothness of Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetta's 'Eva' - but also plenty of lesser-known samba and MPB gems stretched across the five "45s".

Alfredo (reissue)
Cat: MRBLP 310. Rel: 21 Feb 25
Toca Alfredo Toca (4:29)
El Casabe (4:08)
Charangueando (3:54)
Que Rico Bailo Yo (3:51)
Hot To Trot (6:26)
My Favorite Things (5:03)
Canto Del Corazon (7:53)
Review: Mr Bongo present a staunch retro vision of Cuban-born violinist Alfredo De La Fe, one of whose sonographic creams was the debut salsa-and-more fusion album, Alfredo. Based between New York and Colombia, Alfredo worked with many of the greats in Latin music, including Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon and Roberto Roena, as well as disco and soul icons Sylvester and Aquarian Dream. For a debut solo record, Alfredo is a real charm offensive, and a valiant experiment at that, mixing Latin dancefloor crunches with De La Fe's own, unusually additive violin, placed centre stage as he solos. The record - a favourite of legendary New York club The Paradise Garage - tonally shifts past the halfway mark, eschewing the A-side's chroma-jazzy clavier discombobulations for an early four-to-the-floor, daresay proto deep house excursion, 'Hot To Trot'.

Antonio Adolfo & Brazuca - "Voo De Apolo" (3:50)
Free-son - "Daruiz" (2:31)
Os Novos Bahianos - "Colegio De Aplicacao" (1:49)
Review: Here's something to seriously set the pulse racing: a limited-edition quintuple "Brazil 45s" boxset curated by the effervescent DJ Format, and featuring ten tracks unearthed on his most recent crate-digging trip to South America. In keeping with his much-loved style, most of the material can be loosely described as "psyche break-beat", all of which was initially recorded and released in the 1960s and '70s. That means a blend of hallucinatory Brazilian funk and soul rich in sweaty, often densely layered drums, booming basslines, trippy vocals, eccentric production, mazy Hammond organ lines and rousing horns. The quality bar is set so high that picking individual highlights is tough; suffice to say, you need all ten tunes in your life (and in your record box).

Brazil 45 Boxset Vol 5: Curated By DJ Koco (Record Store Day RSD 2024)

Os Famks - "Labirinto" (3:32)
Walter Branco - "Lady Samba" (2:08)
The Boogaloo Combo - "Boogaloo Combo" (DJ Koco aka Shimokita edit) (3:23)
Paulo Diniz - "Ve Se Pisa No Braseiro" (2:33)

Arthur Verocai - "Seriado" (1:44)
Walter Branco - "Zoraia" (3:21)
Walter Branco - "Jael" (2:51)
Ed Lincoln - "Se Voce Quiser" (2:20)
Zito Righi - "Poema Ritmico Do Malandro" (DJ Koco aka Shimokita edit) (2:59)
Review: Renowned for his fervent dedication to 7" singles, DJ Koco inherits the Brazil 45 legacy from Mike D of Beastie Boys. Presenting ten beloved Brazilian gems, Koco's box set opens with Famks' boogie brilliance and classic selections from Waltel Branco. Lee Jackson's euphoric rendition of The Doors' 'Light My Fire' and Paulo Diniz's spirited MPB delight shine brightly. Featuring icons like Arthur Verocai and Ed Lincoln, Koco's curation underscores his profound appreciation for Brazil's rich musical tapestry. Further pushing boundaries, Koco delivers two exclusive edits for the box set. A reimagined version of The Boogaloo Combo's 'Boogaloo Combo' amplifies the funky break with masterful finesse. And with exuberance, Koco revitalizes Zito Righi's 1969 Bossa Nova hit 'Poema Ritmico Do Malandro' with a spirited re-edit.

Saturn's Return
Review: Over the course of two fine, full-length excursions, Don Glori (real name Gordon Li) has perfected a warm, breezy and frequently life-affirming trademark sound that cannily joins the dots between jazz, samba, MPB, jazz-funk and soul. He leans into the latter elements more on summery third set Paper Can't Wrap Fire, drawing on the talents of a wealth of Melbourne music friends across nine sublime tracks. There's much to admire throughout, from the sun-soaked jazz-funk/soul fusion of 'Brown Eyes' and summery head-nodder 'Janet', to the spiritual jazz joy of 'Song For Ants', the Brazilian brilliance of 'Precious' and the oceans-deep nu-jazz shuffle of 'Saturn's Return'.

Saturn's Return (4:30)
Review: The third album from Melbourne/Naarm multi-instrumentalist Don Glori merges jazz, soul, funk and r&b and marks a confident leap forward in his songwriting journey. Anchored by a Chinese proverb about truth, Paper Can't Wrap Fire explores themes of honesty and introspection across standout tracks like the silky 'Brown Eyes,' the sharp-witted 'Disaster' and the meditative 'Flicker.' It was recorded with close friends and longtime collaborators and radiates warmth, spontaneity and rich musical chemistry. While nodding to influences like Azymuth, SAULT, and Jordan Rakei, Don Glori delivers a sound entirely his own and it is wonderfully intimate.

Saturn's Return (4:30)
Review: Paper Can't Wrap Fire is the third album from Melbourne/Naarm multi-instrumentalist Don Glori, and it is a rich mix of jazz, soul, funk and R&B, but also marks a bold evolution in the artist's own songwriting. The title is based on a Chinese proverb about truth and underpins reflective tracks like the soulful 'Brown Eyes,' satirical 'Disaster,' and introspective 'Flicker' Recorded in Naarm with friends and past bandmates, these sparkling sounds are brimful of the sort of life-affirming harmonies and dynamic musical interplay that makes you smile broadly, while the heartfelt lyrics make this town mark. Influences from the likes Azymuth, SAULT, and Jordan Rakei are all clear, but Don Glori crafts his own take on those sounds that speaks to both emotion and intellect.

Review: This great album was first put out by EMI Sweden, and if you can find one of those early original copies it is worth well over $500. Thankfully, those of us more bothered about the music than the sautes of the physical product can cop this reissue of Doris's debut LP for a fair price. It has hints of Joni Mitchell as well as Led Zeppelin and Doris herself was back dup by her hubby on bass, who provide plenty of killer funky b-lines under the experimental melodies up top. Add in Janne Carlsson on drums and great work by Bernot Egerladh on organ and you have an essential record.
