The tone always makes the music. But only those who actually make the sound? An ancient-house-avantgarde dream has always been there since the legendary -Warehouse- days of Ron Hardy, to bring more sounds and tones constantly to an independent, repetitive development. And thus beyond the limits of an executive creative artist on the otherwise purely commercial sense what we call in common -beyond imagination-.

-Raw Footage-, the latest album concoction of Chicago house legend Ron Trent (Prescription) on his new imprint -Electric Blue- works in the best sense of Stanislav Lem heroes Trurl & Klapauciusals, cruising like those two metal brains frantically invented by the universe of 4/4-Sounds to get insane tracks out of the new material matter located there, and put them together to brand new ones. This trackwerk varies as well as of course between classical Chi-Town to the context of contemporary, epic house dubs and lives in a perfidious manner from the interaction of various computer modules that constantly spits out new and exciting interactions. In the end, the software sings only as digital output of great analog sounds, which may well be understood as a mocking voice to the majority of contemporary Homeboy wackiness formats.-Unpredictable- and less -cryptic- might fit here as a keyword excellent, where you kick out of the rough house plant a significant entertainment value must, without the need to posess necessarily the same nerves of steel. Anyone who has ever really wondered what House sound could be appropriate for a journey through the vastness of the universe is, gets there now at this point completely to his fullest expense. Trent 2012 and its tracks on this album reflect a lot about the revolutionary founder of -Spirit of music- from the mid-80s, who is recorded then as now but with inadequate slogans such as -light years ahead of its time-. For as Trents body of work -Raw Footage- is also particularly scary genius material, although still of totally solid stress field and background from the musical spectrum between the Windy City and the Motor City engine bridled her.-But heres to the Future- – For Sir Trent more than twenty years after -Altered States- and the relevant follow-ups, thats not really a problem!

"Kids At Play" is convincing for "Altered States" again as another lesson in an extremely elegant design of exciting electronic aspects from life "on the cutting edge behalf House and Techno." Like with his legendary warehouse classic from 1990 Trent moves again at this point in 2011 off a harmonically dominated terrain on Prescription sound philosophy, to which many of his die-hard fans may focus him otherwise only. Anyone who has seen Trent since its KMS interlude with Chez Damier and his collaboration with Berlin's Maurizio duo [Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswald] as a real producer and not only as incarnate 4-Four-house machinery recognizes and loves the other side of his genius and his techno-affinity immediately. This is oriented so on the rawness of the early Chicago House with the initial spark of Farley Jackmaster Funk or Adonis, as well as the fusion potential of Herbie Hancock and performs as an educational base for the forthcoming album "Raw Footage" to an expression of open creative style that extends beyond the normal limits of the genre far beyond otherwise binding. "Kids At Play" touches in a whole both morning wee-wee-hours as well as ecstatic, night club moments, before Trent defines the trackwerk as unusual blueprint for new stringent forms of the House, where this vinyl will also demand his most impressive moment experiences. In Trent's body of work, the track comes ahead of many recordings in recent years on the highest level, mainly because it the dimension of predictability with that of unpredictability in the sense of "more energy and power" exchanges and at the end of an exhibit defines what probably most of today's house conaisseures with an open mind demand as their own. We therefore recommend simply seat reservation on the dancefloor!

„Kids At Play“ überzeugt dabei nach „Altered States“ erneut als weitere Lehrstunde eines extrem eleganten Entwurfs zu aufregenden elektronischen Lebensaspekten “on the cutting edge behalf House and Techno“. Wie bei seinem legendären Warehouse Klassiker aus 1990 bewegt sich Trent dabei erneut an dieser Stelle in 2011 (12 ?) abseits eines harmonisch geprägten Terrains an Prescription-Soundphilosophie, auf das ihn viele eingefleischte Fans sonst nur allzu gern allein fokussieren mögen.

Wer Trent seit seinem KMS-Intermezzo zusammen mit Chez Damier sowie seiner Zusammenarbeit mit Berlins Maurizio-Duo [Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswald] als realen Produzenten und nicht nur als fleischgewordene 4-Four-House-Maschinerie erlebt hat, erkennt und liebt die andere Seite seiner Techno affinen Genialität ebenso sofort. Diese orientiert sich so an der Rohheit des frühen Chicago House mit dem initialen Funk eines Farley Jackmaster Funk oder Adonis sowie dem Fusions-Potential eines Herbie Hancock und führt als Erziehungsgrundlage für das in Kürze erscheinende Album „Raw Footage“ zu einer Expression des Stil offenen Schaffens, die über die normalen Grenzen des sonst verbindlichen Genres weit hinaus reicht. „Kids At Play“ berührt dabei in einem Ganzen sowohl morgendliche wee-wee-hours wie auch ekstatische, nächtliche Club-Momente, wie auch bisher an Trent weitestgehende ungewohnte Blaupausen für neue stringente Formen des House, durch den dieses Vinyl dann auch seine beeindruckendsten Momente erfährt.

In Trents Gesamtwerk dürfte der Track damit weit vor vielen Einspielungen der letzten Jahre auf allerhöchstem Niveau rangieren, vor allem weil er die Dimension der Kalkulierbarkeit mit derjenigen der Unberechenbarkeit im Sinne von „more energy and power“ austauscht und am Ende ein Exponat definiert, dass wahrscheinlich die meisten House-Conaisseure mit offenem Geist ihr Eigentum nennen wollen. Wir empfehlen daher schlicht Platzreservierung auf dem Dancefloor!

Next up in Mr Bongo's Groove Merchant Records reissue series, sees an outing for a much-loved and heavily sampled funk/soul/blues album by Junior Parker. Originally issued under the title The Outside Man on Capitol Records in 1970 with an alternative cover, this reissue replicates the Groove Merchant release titled Love Ain't Nothin' But A Business Goin' On featuring the car cover released in 1971.

The Mississippi-born, Memphis-based blues singer, harmonica player and songwriter Junior Parker (aka Little Junior Parker) had a stellar career in music. Since the early 1950s he released records on labels such as Duke, Mercury, United Artists Records and more. Sadly though, Parker died at the young age of 39 during surgery on November 18, 1971.

Originally released under the alternate title a year before his untimely death, Love Ain't Nothin' But a Business Goin' On is drenched in Parker’s trademark buttery vocals and soulful grooves, swaggering between smokey blues, raw funk outings and orchestrated soul ballads (with sublime arrangements by Horace Ott).

The album also features three Beatles cover versions in the form of ‘Taxman’, ‘Lady Madonna’ and ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’. For 'Taxman', Parker completely reinterprets the song taking into a New Orleans funk realm, a sample of which was used as the main hook line on Cypress Hill's classic 'I Wanna Get High'. Elsewhere, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is flipped into a tripped-out, psychedelic soul-swamp blues ballad, whilst 'Lady Madonna' is given a funky blues makeover.

As shown with Cypress Hill’s use of ‘Taxman’, since the ‘70s Parker’s legacy has been immortalised for future generations through the deep well of samples that his music has become a source of. Tracks from Love Ain't Nothin' But a Business Goin' On have been sampled by some of the biggest names out there, such as A Tribe Called Quest, DJ Shadow and De La Soul.

A seriously smooth album oozing with soul and emotion from a Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Junior Parker’s Love Ain't Nothin' But A Business Goin' On is a superb example of the early ‘70s crossover funk/soul sound. More

Everybody's still talking about the good ol 'days! A rough and rugged collection of ol' dirty classics that have inspired swarms of killer beats. A head nod to the sounds of Shaolin, the twelve chambers of Shanghai'd Soul have moved lyrical chefs and production geniuses alike to compose some of their most ominous hip-hop. Gods and Earths a like will appreciate the raw funk and smoother-than-a-Lexus soul that come to gether like Voltron on this special compilation. As sampled b y J. Cole, The Game, Cappadonna, The Avalanches, Kanye West, Hudson Mohawke, Anderson.Paak, Loyle Corner, Meek Mill, T.I., Quavo, Danny Brown, and hundreds more.

Much has been said about Nami Shimada's JPop Bubblegum Deep House anthem.

Here's all the versions that matter, including a beautiful and haunting Legowelt remix that's rated amongst his best work (by experts that is). More
