Sample spotters will have a field day here, by identifying the A-side 'Diana' as the source for tracks by Jay Dee , Madlib, Primo, Buckwild, as well as being instantly recognisable as J DIlla's choice of main hook for Slum Village's 'Fall In Love'. On the flip we have 'Free', ain edit of 'Free Again', which is a jazz cover of a Barbara Streisand song from 1966 - or that sample from Ghostfacedkilla's 'IRON Theme'. Both tracks are of two stand out tracks from the Gap Mangione Trio's 1968 LP Diana in the Autumn Wind. And here's a novel idea for you all - you could even skip the notebook scribbling and just take some pleasure from their lush orchestrations and properly effortless swinging big band jazz if you were so minded! Stranger things have happened.

The Mysterious Flying Orchestra dropped one album in 1977 and 'Shadows' is one of the tunes from it. It was a cover of a Lonnie Liston Smith gem from 1974 that has become a goldmine of samples for hip hop greats like Gang Starr. Black Cash & Theo show off their edit skills with a vision that allows the lush cosmic keys and freeform bass to shine in this stone-cold classic. They then turn to Cal Tjader's 'Morning' with its big horn leads and 60s vocal harmonies before finally offering the swimming, stylish, serene and string-led sounds of Cal Tjader's dreamy library music style joint 'Aquarius.'

(Black vinyl LP + Japanese Obi-strip) Best selection of P-VINE presents "Groove Diggers" series

First limited edition with Obi strip

Groove-Diggers Presents! A vinyl compilation that explores the essence of "rare groove" from super killer tunes that everyone has heard of at least once to extremely rare tunes that only a few people know about!
Since its launch in 2006, the Groove-Diggers series has been unearthing high-quality records (grooves) from soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian, and Latin music, regardless of genre, nationality, or era, and has released over 100 titles so far.
This is the ultimate collection that could only be achieved through this series, selecting from extremely rare records known only to those in the know to super killer tunes that everyone has heard at least once!
This first release includes the unquestionable killer tune ``You Are the One That I Need'' by Chicago funk band Southside Movement and female singer Jackie Ross, a tropical / Brazilian-flavored groovy soul, as well as the euphoric, superb free soul “Disco City” from Ernie Story's “Meditation Blue”, a super rare AOR-meets-modern soul record that was miraculously reissued last year.

ANAN is a project born from the musical inspiration of DJs Roberto Agosta and Massimo Napoli (Galathea). The name ANAN comes simply from the repetition of the initials of their surnames.

Their new single ‘Naif’ blends African musical roots with a European groove and celebrates the cultural fusion of modern times and explores sounds that transcend borders. Imagine listening to Fatoumata Diawara or Ali Farka Touré meeting St. Germain or Bonobo

This track opens with a pulsating rhythm, featuring traditional instruments, percussion, and the vocal performance of Kadi Koulibaly from Burkina Faso.

Koulibaly manages to convey a sense of joy and vitality, evoking soundscapes rich with texture and dynamic motion. The melody is skilfully combined with electronic and jazz elements, creating an aural experience that invites you to dance. In short ‘Naif’ is a celebration of cultural fusion, an invitation to indulge in rhythm and explore sounds that transcend boundaries.


A1 Naif ft. Kady Koulibaly
