Mato Feat. Ethel Lindsey - Baby Comr Back (Dub)
Stix Records, a sub-label of Favorite Recordings, presents the 2nd release from its new Mellow Reggae Series project. Launched earlier this year by Mato & Ethel Lindsey with a stunning cover of the famous “What You Won’t Do For Love” by Bobby Caldwell, the series continues with the same duo, now taking over “Baby Come Back”, the underground AOR/Blue-Eyed-Soul classic from Player.
This time again and likewise could be told about Bobby’s most famous song, “Baby Come Back” can be considered as a “One-Hit Wonder”, reaching #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1977, while very few people might be able to name who performed it. Like he always does, Mato delivers an outstanding version, delighting us with his matchless skills for dub production. Already perfectly matching on Bobby Caldwell’s rendition, Ethel Lindsey ensure again the perfect vocals over Mato’s production. Currently preparing his 1st album to be released on Favorite Recordings, Ethel has a long music and singing experience, unless an almost blank discography. From his very young age, he’s developed a deep passion for AOR and Blue-Eyed-Soul style.
Starting his reggae production career in 2006, Thomas Blanchot (aka Mato) has released music through various projects on EDR Records, Big Singles or Makasound... In the meantime, he developed a real trademark: taking over classic French, Hip-Hop, OST, Classical or Pop songs, into roots reggae-dub new versions. His 15 years collaboration with Stix Records and label honcho Pascal Rioux gave life to many masterpieces and the story seems far from the end…

Stix Records, a sub-label of Favorite Recordings, proudly presents Jazz-Funk Dub Tribute, a new
project by Mato with exclusive Dub versions of some of the most famous Jazz-Funk, Soul-Jazz, Funk &
Fusion tracks.
After the amazing success of his Summer Madness / Maiden Voyage (2021) single, respectively
covering Kool & The Gang and Herbie Hancock, Mato got deeper within the American Black Music
repertoire. He worked on tracks that can be considered as serious classics of the Jazz-Funk scene.
We all remember the melodies from Eddie Henderson ("Inside You"), WAR ("The World Is A Ghetto"),
Weather Report ("Black Market"), Deodato ("Caravan"), Grover Washington Jr. ("Loran's Dance"), Barry
White's Love Unlimited Orchestra ("Midnight Groove"), Herbie Hancock ("Maiden Voyage"), The Meters
("Cissy Strut") or Lonnie Liston Smith ("Visions Of A New World"). Imagine them reworked and tailored by
the French dub master. Needless to say, Mato, who’s playing most instruments and synthesizers, did a
fantastic job and you’ll be blown when hearing these versions.

Stix Records, a sub-label of Favorite Recordings, proudly presents Push Push, the new album by acclaimed producer Taggy Matcher aka Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart (Voilaaa, Mr President, The Dynamics, Uptown Funk Empire, Metropolitan Jazz Affair, Da Break, …). After the success of his previous LP Singasong, Taggy Matcher returns with 8 tracks exploring his wide range of Reggae & Dub influences, each time magnified by a fine crew of vocal guests as LMK, Birdy Nixon, Alexandra Charry, Hawa, John Milk & Elodie Rama. With a great sense of authenticity, they all bring their own touch to Taggy Matcher's compositions and covers. Always faithful to its inspirations, brilliantly produced, Push Push is your new invitation to follow the Lion to Zion.
The album starts with "Push Push", a title already released last year as a vinyl single 7", in collaboration with rising singer LMK, who you may know from her successful previous reworks on Taggy's last album ("No Love Allowed", "My Man"). Sharing the same love for the early 80's Digital Rub A Rub productions, lyrics are about street harassment of women… with a pinch of humor!
On "Little Things", Taggy invites old mate Birdy Nixon for a cover of an early rocksteady classic by Hemsley Morris. With the vintage bounce we love combined with modern sounds and productions, the song is all about tenderness and simplicity.
"Volvere Mañana", the song has this very cumbia hip move with the participation of gifted singer Alexandra Charry from Cali in Colombia, where they both composed the song. Then, Taggy invited Boris Pokora to play the "gaita" local flute to give the song its proper Colombian Caribbean coast flavor.
The album continues with "Two Dimes" featuring longtime collaborator Hawa (from Mr President to Mr Day and other numerous projects). This shaky disco reggae rockers is all about getting ready for the party… but with two dimes only!
"Q Fashion" is a song full of wittiness and self-mockery wrote during the first Covid-19 lockdown. Parisian Soul singer John Milk was stuck in Paris while Bruno was in Lyon. On this minimalistic digital reggae tune, they give the ingredients to perfect your next quarantine outfit.
Discoish reggae tune "Get Enough" featuring Birdy Nixon has a simple and successful recipe: just mix a big dose of Lovers with the same amount of Rockers and you've got this 100% soulful song.
On "Suit and Tie", Taggy and John Milk go Pop with this version of Justin Timberlake, which fits perfectly with John's tender and mellow style.
Finally, Elodie Rama with Taggy Matcher pay tribute to Erykah Badu and her legacy to the Soul music scene at the end of the nineties. The mood is jazzy, mellow and warm, with a tiny Lee Scratch Perry early 70's vaporous vibes. More

World-Renowned Brazilian DJ, producer and music lover, DJ Tahira Unveils Vinyl EP of Exclusive Edits and Remixes on Poeira Music.
Sa?o Paulo, Brazil. Get ready for a mesmerizing sonic journey as DJ Tahira, the globally acclaimed maestro of Afro- Brazilian beats, is set to release his highly anticipated vinyl EP, "Minhas Verso?es" (My Versions), on his own renowned label, Poeira Music. Featuring six captivating tracks on vinyl for the very first time, this EP showcases Tahira's exceptional talent for remixing and editing, offering fans a fresh take on some of his most beloved creations.
Till now a secret weapon for a select cadre of DJs, Tahira's organic Maculele Edit of the already classic "Banho de Folhas" by Luedji Luna draws inspiration from the ancestral rhythm Maculele, a fundamental element of the globally renowned Baile Funk sound. A fusion of Latin and samba influences, Tahira's rework of the 2000s hit "Meu Esquema" by Mundo Livre S.A. + Bruno Pedrosa offers a fresh perspective on the original samba bossa nova track.
Tha Tahira remix of New Zealand's "Chi Chi Cha Cha" by Latinaotearoa invites listeners on a journey through Latin sounds blended seamlessly with Brazilian influences, featuring the enchanting vocals of Ully Costa.
Hailing from Brasilia, Leticia Fialho and her beautiful "Corpo e Canc?a?o" receive Tahira's magical touch, with Afro- Brazilian Ijexa? rhythm influences and a captivating exploration of the melodic theme. A masterful blend of samba beats and synths, Tahira's SambaJazz Instrumental Remix of "Iroke" by Edground showcases his ability to create genre- defying musical experiences.
Previously only available digitally on the NYC label Bastard Jazz, Tahira's remix of "Moqueca" by the exciting trio of Captain Planet Zuuka Poderosa and Raphael Futura, combines Brazilian Ijexa? and Latin cumbia percussion in an irresistible uptempo beat.
Known for his trailblazing musical contributions, DJ Tahira has been a force to reckon with in the international music
scene for over a decade. His remarkable journey took a massive leap with his remarkable re-edit of Gilberto Gil's iconic "Toda Menina Baiana", championed by global trend setters such as Gilles Peterson, Mr Scruff, Laurent Garnier, DJ Harvey, and Jamie XX. Tahira's edit ignited dance floors worldwide and solidified his status as a pioneering DJ and producer.
DJ Tahira has become a global music luminary, performing at prestigious venues, festivals and platforms, such as Glastonbury, Montreux Jazz Festival, Boiler Room, Love Supreme, Lot Radio, and Worldwide FM. His music has found a home on esteemed labels such as Concord Jazz, Musica Macondo, Bastard Jazz, Wonderwheel, Wah Wah 45s, Names You Can Trust, Far Out, Tiff's Joints, and Hot Casa.
Additionally, Tahira's prowess as a music researcher is underscored by two critically acclaimed compilations: "Levanta Poeira" (2018), lauded as one of the best reissues by NPR, and "Brasil Novo," released by London's Musica Macondo label, which earned the title of Best Reissue of 2022 according to Sounds and Colours, along with glowing reviews from Songlines Magazine (awarding five stars!), Juno, and Mr. Bongo."Minhas Verso?es" serves as both a testament to his illustrious career and a glimpse into the future soundtrack of global dancefloors .

Tha Tahira remix of New Zealand's "Chi Chi Cha Cha" by Latinaotearoa invites listeners on a journey through Latin sounds blended seamlessly with Brazilian influences, featuring the enchanting vocals of Ully Costa.
Hailing from Brasilia, Leticia Fialho and her beautiful "Corpo e Canc?a?o" receive Tahira's magical touch, with Afro- Brazilian Ijexa? rhythm influences and a captivating exploration of the melodic theme. A masterful blend of samba beats and synths, Tahira's SambaJazz Instrumental Remix of "Iroke" by Edground showcases his ability to create genre- defying musical experiences.
Previously only available digitally on the NYC label Bastard Jazz, Tahira's remix of "Moqueca" by the exciting trio of Captain Planet Zuuka Poderosa and Raphael Futura, combines Brazilian Ijexa? and Latin cumbia percussion in an irresistible uptempo beat.
Known for his trailblazing musical contributions, DJ Tahira has been a force to reckon with in the international music
scene for over a decade. His remarkable journey took a massive leap with his remarkable re-edit of Gilberto Gil's iconic "Toda Menina Baiana", championed by global trend setters such as Gilles Peterson, Mr Scruff, Laurent Garnier, DJ Harvey, and Jamie XX. Tahira's edit ignited dance floors worldwide and solidified his status as a pioneering DJ and producer.
DJ Tahira has become a global music luminary, performing at prestigious venues, festivals and platforms, such as Glastonbury, Montreux Jazz Festival, Boiler Room, Love Supreme, Lot Radio, and Worldwide FM. His music has found a home on esteemed labels such as Concord Jazz, Musica Macondo, Bastard Jazz, Wonderwheel, Wah Wah 45s, Names You Can Trust, Far Out, Tiff's Joints, and Hot Casa.
Additionally, Tahira's prowess as a music researcher is underscored by two critically acclaimed compilations: "Levanta Poeira" (2018), lauded as one of the best reissues by NPR, and "Brasil Novo," released by London's Musica Macondo label, which earned the title of Best Reissue of 2022 according to Sounds and Colours, along with glowing reviews from Songlines Magazine (awarding five stars!), Juno, and Mr. Bongo."Minhas Verso?es" serves as both a testament to his illustrious career and a glimpse into the future soundtrack of global dancefloors .

DJ Scientist - Rega Rega (Revisited)
- Limited edition of only 300 copies
- All copies are handnumbered
For a quarter of a century, DJ Scientist's career has been marked by a steady and continuous presence in the music scene, contributing his skills as a producer, curator, musician, and DJ to various projects and labels, with a particular fondness for vinyl releases.
In celebration of his 25th anniversary, he's returned with two raw instrumental hip-hop tracks on the limited 45 single "Just A Flute Thing." This release serves as a tantalizing preview for his upcoming solo album on Equinox Records.
The title track, "Just A Flute Thing," stands out as an exemplar of funky, yet undeniably raw instrumental hip-hop. It exudes an aura reminiscent of the iconic Beastie Boys' "Flute Thing" and the 1999 club sensation "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts, two classics that should be etched in the memory of any hip-hop connoisseur.
On the flip side, Scientist offers a revised version of the composition, "Rega Rega Rega," featuring pristine new mastering. Originally featured on "The Artless Cuckoo EP Vol. II," this new 45 cut promises an enhanced auditory experience.

Take Vibe - Walking On The Moon (feat. Take Vibe)
2020. Full On Lockdown: Musician Laurence Mason puts together this off the wall idea meshing together two of his biggest musical heroes, Dave Greenfield of the tough 1970's proto-punk band The Stranglers with the oh so cool 1960's jazz of Dave Brubeck. He puts up his demo on Youtube not really expecting much in the way of feedback. And gets ONE MILLION hits. And hundreds of requests for a release. Jazz Room Records Head Honcho Paul Murphy says "Do you wanna record that and release it?"."Affirmative!" The result is this grooving Soulful and Funky Jazz version of "Golden Brown". On the "B" side is a languid and super cool version of "Walking On The Moon", originally by 80's Supergroup The Police. The first release sold 3000 (!) 7-inch singles and got into the Official Vinyl Singles Top 30. (Yes, there's still such a thing!). The latest version of the best selling Jazz Room Release. Now in Blue Splatter Vinyl.

Over the past few years, London based DJ and curator Sam Don has shone new light into the Reggae sub-genre of Lovers Rock with his comps 'For the love of You'. His deep, yet deeply accessible selections have opened the ears of many to the genre. With this new compilation 'Just A Touch' Sam shines his torch even deeper, this time through crates of UK Underground Soul. He painstakingly researched and tracking down each producer to bring you some of the sweetest soul cuts that will ever grace your eardrums. Sam Don explains: Whilst the US is most well-known for soul music, the UK has created its own take on the genre, due to the melting pot of cultures and musical styles that makes the UK so special. I didn't 'set out' to make a compilation like this, but one night an idea came to me, and I sketched it out at home with my record collection. When I saw how well these sounds came together, I started my mission to find the people involved with them and 'Just A Touch' was created.
