2LP Limited Gatefold Edition : 2LP Vinyl + Liner Note + CD in plastic sleeve with exclusive Remixes (Mister Modo & Ugly Mac Beer / Mr Big) (Remixes not available on the digital platforms)

Tracklist LP:

A1. Intro A2. Mr Blue (Feat. Bruce Sherfield) A3. Marauders B1. Alerte B2. Theme From Bobbin Street (Feat. Yann Cléry) B3. (How To) Play The Game (Feat. Beat Assailant) C1. Almost Noon (Feat. Bruce Sherfield & Juan Rozoff) C2. The Letter (Feat. Black Sifichi) C3. Everyday Fever (Feat. Bruce Sherfield) D1. The Don Walks In D2. Museum of Life (Feat. Bruce Sherfield & Juan Rozoff) D3. End Credits



"Mr. Blue", Versus' first album, is an authentic Hip Hop Blaxploitation -genre polar. It tells the story of a certain Mr. Blue, in a Soul and Jazz musical type. Its animated lyrics blend into cinematic instruments of a 70's American "film noir" style. The context is set in an ill-reputed neighborhood and the protagonists are a mafia godfather that no one has ever seen (but everyone fears) and his bar employees.
Seb Lawkyz (Bass, double bass, production), the actual initiator of the project, has surrounded himself with some of the best musicians of the French Jazz Groove scene. Bruce Sherfield (rap, lead vocals), Yann Cléry (flute, backing vocals), Mr. Tos (scratches), Nico Rajao (drums), Gérald "GG" Bonnegrace (percussions), Jérome "Tchiky" Perez (guitar), Charles Francoise (keyboards, studio production) and Aleksander Terris (keyboards). It is then in Full Live Band that the project came into full play.
The team has gone further and jumped in the experience of working with ten additional musicians: strings, horns... in the authentic tradition of Motown & Stax records. Additionally, top vocal artists joined the team: Juan Rozoff, Beat Assailant and Black Sifichi...
Versus could be seen as a group of music lovers brought up through by listening to the classical Soul Funk music playing Hip Hop with Jazz musical techniques. Therefore, these dedicated artists of "black" music pay tribute to music legends such as Isaac Hayes, Lalo Schiffrin & co, fashioning in their music "a groovy bikini" for an imaginary Pam Grier, and using the available technologies to perpetrate the tradition.

Tracklist


A1. Mr Blue (Feat. Bruce Sherfield) A2. Mr Blue (Booster Remix) A3. Mr Blue (20syl Remix) B1. Mr Blue (Instrumental) B2. Mr Blue (Acapella)

Shortinfo:


It's almost noon at Donnie's HQ and the door opens with a bang that somehow doesn't move a soul. Donnie Bass, the owner, knows who's causing such a racket: he's meeting the three characters Mr Blue told him to gather. Why? it seems the four of them are the best at what they do, all of them known offenders at the Groove Police Station. Donnie speaks : " I'm going to read a letter signed by Mr Blue...

Believe me: we don't have a choice! ". And they know he won't need to say it twice. No one says NO to Mr Blue... Ever! Shawn Washington (flutes), Charlie Keys (keyboards), Jesus Crise (turntables) and Donnie Bass (bass) know the drill : "You gotta groove or die !". That's the world according to Blue...

Followed by their associates Bluce (MC), Tchiky Wah (guitar), Mr. Big (drums) and Ray Waterboy (percussions), Versus brings a funky hip hop with a blaxploitation groove...

With this first EP, "Mr Blue", Versus invites you to their world... Along with the instrumental and the acapella, you'll find the original version of Mr Blue, also remixed by 20syl (Hocus Pocus' frontman, C2C) & Booster (composer of the hit single You're the One feat. Juan Rozoff and the Light My Fire remix with Shirley Bassey).

Before we go deeper into this story, we should ask ourselves one important question: Who is this mysterious Mr Blue ?

Special remarks : 12" with the radio edit Track Almost Noon & 2 remixes by famous producer Ji Dru (Ji Mob, Push Up…) & Blundetto. It also includes the instrumental & acapella version.

Shortinfo:

Life is about timing ! When the clock starts showing boredom in its endless whistle, it definitely means it's time to go…

After a first summer EP, there is nothing better than a second delivery in the heart of the winter !
And with such a track, with its languorous groove, featuring Juan Rozoff's feline voice and our friend Bruce Sherfield dropping rhymes with its 'cool as f*#k' phrasing, I can only tell you that Versus should definitely help our specie to keep on proliferating!!

Of course, you'll always find our little bonuses dedicated to our DJ friends, i.e. accappella & instrumental versions. But let's get straight to the point about these remixes, speaking about our "love is in the building" mission, it's going to be easily fulfilled thanks to these two talented producers and musicians : Ji Dru from Push Up on one side, Blundetto, signed on the fast growing Heavenly Sweetness label

Ji Dru, as a real mature music lover, takes the violin sample to make us cry… but cut it up and conceal it in an irresistible rhythmical coat ! Regarding Blundetto's, spicing it up with a Carribean style, he steps reggae clock back to dub hours, to bring a laid-back vibe that will of course go with a cigarette on the pillow !

By the way, time wise, the guys have an appointment at midday with Mr. Blue. What's the time ? It's almost noon !

Shortinfo:

Among the diggers, there is a legend. Here's what we known:

Here are a few decades now, since the advent of samplers and MPC, that regularly, for no apparent reason, many Hip Hop producers disappear without we never found them yet.
The police never solved these cases.

No traces, no clues, no witnesses ... nothing! or ... but nothing than a Commissioner is able to use or analyze ... posthumous alleged securities, pieces of drafts, plans ... only vinyl!

Time to Time, you can heard some stories circulating about a strange being who hangs in vinyls cellars. Some call Graham but nothing proves it ... anything that can overlap in the various stories, that can be gleaned on the right or left, among MC's, comes down to a hand-vinyl strikes when They fall on the sample ... sample legend killer is rooted there !

And we can not fall on it without meeting The WAXIDERMIST.

Among its victims, we speak here of the last dated: the man called LAWKYZ has disappeared. At the bottom of the cellar where last seen entering, one found tracks, music. MC's : Mattic (Wax Tailor, Empire of Sound) Racecar (Soul Square, Sax Machine, Asagaya) Bruce Sherfield (Versus, The Sophia Lorenians), Pumpkin and singers : Astrid Engberg (Modonut, La Fine Equipe, Jukebox Champions), Elodie Rama (Hocus Pocus, Natural Self) decide to tell a story that no one has ever heard ...

2025 Repress

Tracklist:
A1. Into The Stream
B1. Ode To Mode
B2. Abun-dance

Inexplicably, yet true, Lexx has never appeared in any way, shape, or form on International Feel recordings – until now. And it’s been worth the wait. Into the Stream is one of the finest endeavors of the Zurich record hound, DJ, musical mastermind, and Balearic baron to date. Bespoke for International Feel, it feels like a comforting blanket for hard times. Inspired by early 90s electronica and serene landscapes, the title track embodies those magical moments just before sunset on warm summer days — a light breeze carrying the sweet scent of earth as you cycle past a peaceful herd of white, black, and brown sheep moving in unison.
Revisiting stages of faith and devotion of one of the favorite bands of nearly every 1980s teenager, and using their formal vocabulary after a deep dive into their rich discography, Lexx delivers a respectful nod and a heartfelt bow, one that is not only a question of lust, but simply irresistible.
Last, but not least, Abun-dance is a celebration of life and love. It manages to tap into the stream and discover the true abundance of the (Balearic) bliss that surrounds us. A match made in heaven.
Lexx, we salute you. credits

Release Notes:

Holy grail hip-hop alert! Superstar Quamallah's Invisible Man was never released on wax so, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of this astounding record, we present the first ever vinyl edition. A stunning record which gained accolades upon its initial release, such as a prominent feature on Gilles Peterson's renowned Best Of 2009 show, it's one of the most essential jazz rap albums of all time. Cut across double vinyl, it’s exceedingly limited, with just 500 pressed for the world.

Deep jazz rap on that mellow-melodic tip, Invisible Man is an unforgettable album with nothing but dope beats and dope bars. There's a strong chance this album has passed you by but we truly believe it to be a lost hip-hop masterpiece. It supremely captures the essence of a golden age classic without being slavish to the past. No, this ain't some facile throwback rap. It's a fresh and deeply soulful, original album shot through straight from the heart. Perfect to chill to, Invisible Man is profoundly jazz-oriented and captures with simplicity and sincerity the essence of hip-hop circa 1983-1994. It sounds like vibing with your nearest, dearest and oldest friends on a long hot summer night as the tantalising thought that anything is possible fills the air. You know what, we can just call this "magic hour rap" and we think you'll know what we mean. It's just beautiful. Just Listen.

Brooklyn-born, California-based emcee, DJ, and producer Superstar Quamallah was active in the West Coast underground scene throughout the 90s and recorded extensively with such revered names as Defari and Tajai. His parents were some serious artistic heavyweights, too; his father was soul organist Big John Patton, a giant in the jazz world known for his releases on Blue Note whilst his mother was an active designer. However, he remains relatively unknown. Invisible Man, named ostensibly after the classic Ralph Ellison novel, could also refer to how he is viewed by the public at large. With close affiliations to the Hieroglyphics, Dilated Peoples and Likwit crew, his debut EP "Don't Call Me John" arrived in 1999 on ABB Records, after which he took a sabbatical from recording which included graduate school, travelling, teaching at Inglewood High and eventually a professorship of African Studies at Berkeley.

With a laidback flow and deep, relaxing presence on the mic, Superstar Quamallah is equal parts Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Guru. Invisible Man is refined, soulful, feel-good hip-hop of the old school. Its wise, spiritual and literate sound, combined with the summertime vibes projected by the smooth beats and the nostalgia-inducing samples and vocal scratches, created jazzy boom-bap rap reminiscent of prime De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr.

Irresistibly bouncing opener "You Need Knowledge" loops sparkling pianos, horns and a nagging whistle refrain with scratched vocal refrains from Slick Rick, Mobb Deep and Guru. The super-smooth head-nod classic "88 Soul" also utilises a beautifully swelling piano line and dusty breaks whilst Quamé reminisces about his childhood in NYC. Deeply moving, the silky, sultry "Black Shakespeare" is built around an elegant piano loop and goes hard on the superman lover tip whilst "For My People...It's Spiritual" is transcendental rap in conversation with Rakim and older gods. The "Moment Of Truth"-sampling "Lonely At The Top" is striking for its undiluted boom-bap stylings and the staccato flute-hop of "Just Listen" is riddled with soulful refinement. The deeply-affecting, wistful-yet-triumphant bells and horn-drenched single "California Dreamin'" is top-tier rap of unimpeachable quality. What a flow!

Another highlight is the rich melodic piano-rap of "Purity", a beautiful ode to the foundations of rap and those keeping the culture authentically alive. Beautifully played instruments and spiritual jazz samples elevate the deep thinking present on "Kunta Kente" whilst the darker jazz-tinged battle-rap of "93 Shit" goes super hard both in a lyrical sense and with its no-holds drum punches. The breezy Rhodes and string loops that serve as the sonic backdrop to the slinky jazz rap of "We Got Plots" are just gorgeous as our hero evokes Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R." with a head-spinning tale of crime, deception and double crossing. And some twist! "Do Win-Dis" has a tense crime-funk backing and rolling beats which complement Quamé's flow perfectly before the record is rounded out by the tough yet jazzy brilliance of rap confessional "Hope She Remembers Me". Just sensational.

Upon its original release, Quamallah himself declared: "My favorite time period for Hip Hop music was definitely between 1983 and 1994 with 1988 and 1993 being two years that standout as extremely impressive years musically and culturally. The fashion, slang, movies, TV shows and vibe during those years was incredible. While totally submerged in the feelings and music of that entire time period, I went to work on Invisible Man and I am excited for people to hear the result! It is an album that I would want to hear from some of my favorite artists of the past and present today. This is not a RETRO trip for me; this is me at my best lyrically and spiritually using the accessories of the 80s and 90s to fuel me. I am a 88 soul as the song states!"

This album goes deep. It goes all in. When Invisible Man first came out it had a real hold on us here at Be With HQ. We couldn't stop listening to it. We'd venture to say it's one of the top 25 rap records of the 2000s. In the years since its release, it has remained a criminally underrated record, an increasingly hidden gem. We sincerely hope this first time double LP release will go some way to correct this. It's been mastered for vinyl by Simon Francis, cut by Cicely Balston and pressed at Record Industry. Finally available on the format it should always have been on, it must never be rendered invisible again.

Petre Inspirescu returns with a four-part suite of mesmeric, long-form compositions. Spanning two 12" records, each track occupies a full side - unfolding with the patience and precision of serialist structures. Drawing from minimalism and contemporary classical traditions, this is introspective electronica in its most refined form - hypnotic, elegant, and quietly expansive.

Shortinfo :
To find Lawkyz, follow the beat. It is here, in this vital part, this lighthouse which guides the route of the other instruments, which it prints in depth the low notes of his four strings. Riveted on the Drums. linking with it a rhythmic pact, ensuring the propulsion of the groove on stage with Erik Truffaz or Guts; on records with UHT °, Anna Kova, or Versus, his hip hop project with full live band. When he puts his fetish instrument, when he lets cool his amp, then wakes up his evil twin: The Waxidermist.
One year after his last EP, The Waxidermist comes back to tell his story.
