2022 Repress!
Angis Music is pleased to present HUMA: the new concept of Alberto Lincetto and Stefano Cosi, both
musicians and producers belonging to the Italian experimental soul and jazz scene. Already active in
other projects such as PCKT and Collettivo Immaginario, they boast collaborations with international
artists such as Chauncey Yearwood, Tommaso Cappellato and Serena Brancale. The debut release
presents two very different scenarios where the solidity and minimalism of the rhythms blend with the
deep yet refined harmonies. "Moon Crab" is the reminiscence of a cosmic journey with modern funk
features, where a liquid and indefinite sound mass slowly evolves into a climax of drums and
synthesizers, giving life to an irrepressible flow of emotions. “Absence”, instead, with its melancholic
tones and electronic

HUMA - An Ordinary Life (feat. A Race Of Angels)

HUMA - Selva
lim. 7" with full colored cover & mp3 DL code!
Angis Music invites you to listen to "Selva" the second release from the Padova duo composed of Stefano Cosi
and Alberto Lincetto. The three songs featured represent the deep desire to communicate an evolution of sound
and to tell a story that goes beyond traditional paradigms and genre labels. The “chiaroscuro”, lights and
shadows, that characterize HUMA's music are once again the result of compositional and sound explorations that
travel from jazz to 70’s funk, from deep house to electronic, with echoes of Brazil and film soundtracks. Side A
opens with the misty and romantic landscape of "Free and Lost”, in which acoustic, electronic and deep bass
sounds blend in a dark and spiritual atmosphere. The journey develops further into "An Ordinary Life” which sees
the participation of Yeofi Andoh, aka A Race Of Angels, Los Angeles-based vocalist and co-author of the track,
and of Amilcar Soto Rodriguez on classical guitar. It slowly emerges from the initial psychedelic sphere, landing
on luminous harmonies and funk rhythms to reiterate a contrast that speaks of life cycles and the relationship
between man and nature. This path ends with the title track "Selva" in which the synthetic percussive tangle
keeps the listener in a meditative state of disorientation guided by the melodic lines of a dusty Fender Rhodes. It
is the temporary epilogue of a story that has just begun..

Michele Manzo - Nebula’s Grace
2022 Repress!
Michele Manzo - musician and producer who boasts international collaborations with Omar Lye-Fook,
Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime - is the man behind the second release of Angis Music. The EP
presents 3 different scenarios resulting from a spontaneous live session, which reflects the multiple
influences and symphonic approach of an artist with various styles. This work, inspired by the science
fiction novels of William Gibson - godfather of the cyberpunk genre - opens with the song “Burning
Chrome”, conceived as a nighttime escape taking you at lightening speed through the alleys of a city
that is galaxies away. Continuing on to the B side we have “Chiba City Park”, where the broken beat and
abstract harmonies create an ambience similar to that of those in Neuromancer. Finally, “Nebula’s
Grace” is a cosmic jam where time slowly floats away in dub echoes and disappears into the depth of
space..
TRACKLISTS:
A. Burning Chrome
B1. Chiba City Park
B2. Nebula’s Grace
Feedback:
Kaoru Inoue (Seeds and Ground / Chari Chari): Great 3 tracks of the electronic jams, I love it! Especially
"Burning Chrome", the quality deep house that I'd love to play on my set.
Funkineven (Apron Records): B1 is right up my street – B2 nice too!
Tama Sumo (Berghain / Panorama Bar): Thanks a lot for sending this, sounds beautiful.
Gary Gritness (Hypercolour): Excellent release! Super tones, musicality and mastering as well. Please
send Michele my regards for this awesome record, from a fellow William Gibson fanatic!
Patrick Gibin (Blend It! / Eglo Records): Cool EP! Nebula's Grace is my favourite.
XDB (Sistrum Recordings): Melodic storytelling detroity sounds. Especially the second tune is really
dope, well done!
Norm Talley (FXHE Records): Cool vibes man!
Volcov (Neroli): Solid EP, I really like the downtempo track.
Gerardo Frisina (Schema Records): Another great Angis Music release with 3 beautiful tracks. Just a
slight preference for "Chiba City Park".
Alex Attias (Visions Inc): Thank you. This is a dope release, I will play for sure.
Giorgio Luceri (Mathematics): Congratulations, I really like the construction and the sound quality of this
release. Personally, my favorite track is the B2.
Turbojazz (Local Talk): This is butter, great release!
Todd Modes (FIT Sound): That shit bangs! Thanks for thinking of me. Really digging the first track. It’s
all real good.
Lakuti (Uzuri): Lovely EP, congrats!
Patrick Luca (Saft Muzik): Nice release, Lovin' B Side both tracks – A side dope too – Congrats and
keep the good work.
Francesco Farfa: This is a really nice project. The first track is very close to the american deep house
productions of the early 2000s. The second, which I like the most, is very bizarre and excellent for
smooth selections. Third one too. Thanks for sending it to me. More

The Mixtapers - Stay (Away From Me) feat. Sara Lima
2022 Repress!
The Mixtapers land on the newborn Angis Music, founded by Samuele Pagliai, with a warm-sounding
and futuristic EP: a 4-track 12" which stems out from a collection of recordings of jam sessions in which
acoustic instruments interact with electronic ones. This synergy allowed to forge a metaphysical
alchemy of sounds, inspired by distant, cyberpunk worlds. The path begins with the title track “Sun
Metaphors”, driven by an enveloping bassline which leads us to exotic and surreal landscapes,
dominated by a vibrating groove. The glorious vocals of the singer ALO sound like a tribute to the Sun
and more generally to warm, bright energies, like a Gospel choir. The same spirituality resonates in
“Trinity”, a cosmic funk trip dangling over a filmscore-like Symphony with flute and Keytar interludes.
And if it is true that the sacred has always something profane in it, side A serves also “Smokey
Reflection” which is pure sensuality in its most deep and introspective form. “Stay (Away From Me)” is
the open end epilogue of a fervent journey, where the sounds of the drum machine and congas recall
the atmosphere of bossa nova, also because of the presence of Sara Lima's voice. A soft rhythm track
with a progressive interplay of smooth, elegant voices. All of this creates a uniquely intimate, relaxed
sonic environment dedicated to aural ecstasy.

Breakwater - Release The Beast (4:50)

Breakwater - Let Love In (4:35)
2024 repress
Format: 7''
Format Notes: Picture sleeve
Track List:
A1 : Release The Beast (4:50)
B1 : Let Love In (4:35)
Release Notes:
Get Up! Time to release this beast on 7''.
Breakwater’s earth-shattering “Release The Beast” is unquestionably the standout song from their 1980 funk masterpiece LP Splashdown. It also came out as a now-hen’s-teeth-rare 7" in the same year and when it came to putting it out as a 7" again we just had to do it in a miniature version of the Splashdown sleeve. It’s one of the best album cover shoots of all time.
For the b-side, we’ve backed Breakwater’s biggest track with Be With’s favourite: the quietly majestic gem “Let Love In”, another winner from the same LP.
Possessing a sound and a feel that was lightyears ahead of its time, “Release The Beast” is a showcase for Breakwater’s phenomenal power-funk capabilities. The energy is astounding. It rips out of the grooves on a deep funk tip, with speaker-smashing, room-shaking drums competing with distorted funk-rock guitar, bumping bass and space-age synths. But it’s not without its compellingly haunting elements too. What else can we say? It’s a genius piece of music.
And, yes, of course this is the tune Daft Punk sampled for their 2005 track “Robot Rock”. Let’s be blunt, they lifted the Philly act’s funk-rock vamping pretty much wholesale. But to be fair to them we wouldn’t have messed with the perfection of the original either and those Parisians shone a much-needed spotlight on an innovative band from the halcyon period of post-disco funk.
On the flip, “Let Love In” is a smooth, easy glide that demonstrates Breakwater’s superb, sophisticated musicianship. The tight horn section and irresistible bass make for an undeniable groove. However, it also reveals a depth to their lyricism that’s often overlooked. In these dark days, the sentiment of the opening lines is truly one to we should all take to heart:
“It feels good to be friends with everyone, Walk around and the feeling’s in the air, No more hate can’t you see, This is really for me.”
A feel good hit for the summer if ever there was one.
Remastered for this vinyl reissue, we’re delighted to present this modern soul double-sider. Essential in every way. More

Info
We Release Jazz is ecstatic (purrrr!) to announce the official reissue of Hiroshi Suzuki's glorious jazz-fusion-funk Holy Grail Cat (originally released in 1976), sourced from the original masters and available on limited edition 180 gram vinyl mastered at half speed for full audiophile sound, as well as on digipack CD. Both versions come with liner notes by Teruo Isono.
Cat was recorded in October 1975 at at Nippon Columbia Studio, while Hiroshi Suzuki was visiting his home country of Japan after moving to Las Vegas in 1971 to play with Buddy Rich and perfect his craft. Back on his old stomping grounds, the man known as Neko (Cat) immediately reunited with his dear friends for an epic two day session of groove magic. The chemistry was still intact. The skills and style had grown.
The result, Cat, is a smooth masterpiece, a deep and soulful affair where stunning trombone solos by Hiroshi Suzuki flirt with Takeru Muraoka's heavenly saxophone and the sensual rhythm section of Hiromasa Suzuki (keyboards), Kunimitsu Inaba (bass), and Akira Ishikawa (drums).
Celebrated in jazz collectors circles, in the lofi beat scene, and among music diggers around the world, Cat has become one of the most sought-after Japanese jazz albums of all time and, much like Ryo Fukui's Scenery, has fascinated old and young generations alike.
Points of interests

Info
We Release Jazz is ecstatic (purrrr!) to announce the official reissue of Hiroshi Suzuki's glorious jazz-fusion-funk Holy Grail Cat (originally released in 1976), sourced from the original masters and available on limited edition 180 gram vinyl mastered at half speed for full audiophile sound, as well as on digipack CD. Both versions come with liner notes by Teruo Isono.
Cat was recorded in October 1975 at at Nippon Columbia Studio, while Hiroshi Suzuki was visiting his home country of Japan after moving to Las Vegas in 1971 to play with Buddy Rich and perfect his craft. Back on his old stomping grounds, the man known as Neko (Cat) immediately reunited with his dear friends for an epic two day session of groove magic. The chemistry was still intact. The skills and style had grown.
The result, Cat, is a smooth masterpiece, a deep and soulful affair where stunning trombone solos by Hiroshi Suzuki flirt with Takeru Muraoka's heavenly saxophone and the sensual rhythm section of Hiromasa Suzuki (keyboards), Kunimitsu Inaba (bass), and Akira Ishikawa (drums).
Celebrated in jazz collectors circles, in the lofi beat scene, and among music diggers around the world, Cat has become one of the most sought-after Japanese jazz albums of all time and, much like Ryo Fukui's Scenery, has fascinated old and young generations alike.

SHORT INFO:
Two accomplished house mainstays come together on Get Physical Music as James Curd joins forces with the legendary Osunlade for superb new single 'Chocolate Puddin'' while FNX Omar and Kai Alcé step up with their own remixes.
Curd came up as a DJ in Chicago and has gone on to become a mainstay of the scene. He is also credited with inventing G-Swing, a house sound infused with swing. He has run various labels over the years while releasing on some of the world's finest imprints and serving up his magical sets everywhere from fabric in London to The Avalon in Los Angeles and The Arches in Glasgow. American Osunlade meanwhile has deep spiritual roots in Yoruba traditions that are also reflected in the name of his record label. He makes music with a rare spirituality as proven once again here.
The superb 'Chocolate Puddin'' is silky smooth deep and Afro-tinged house with gorgeous percussive melodies and soft shakers. It's full of soul and warmth with meaningful leads that bring plenty of uplifting emotions next to a bluesy vocal.
Atlanta's house mainstay and a long-time underground favourite Kai Alcé then remixes. His version is more pacey but no less deep - the jazzy chords are seductively draped over the cuddly deep drums and the vocal has a more soulful edge. Osunlade also offers his own Yoruba Soul mix which is a hi-tek sound with futuristic synth chords and uplifting house drums. Last to remix is Moroccan mainstay and label regular FNX Omar. He flips the track into something that is richly layered with percussion and nimble bass, organic hand claps and hypnotic drum lines that all sink you in deep.
This package is as delicious as its name suggests.
