Those fine purveyors of funk-fuelled electronics, Detroit Grand Pubahs are back with their fourth studio album this September. This time the crazed ringmaster, Paris The Black Fu resides overthe ‘Madd Circus’ with his equally deranged side-kick, Mr.O making sure that the animals are entertained and the kids are kept in check. Or should that be the other way round? Originally founded in Detroit back in 1998, the Pubahs have been on a constant voyage of recovery ever since. Bringing a touch of Funkadelic to what can be a rather stale techno scene, the Pubahs’ unique voice and image injects humour and drama into the one thing they take most seriously above all else, their music. For the Pubahs are no novelty act, there is method to the madness and bass in the badness. It..s all about personality (well split personalities) and a mission to put the fun(k) back into techno.
Whilst the previous two Pubah’s albums ‘Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus’ and ‘Nuttin Butt Funk’ could be seen as a technorump- obsessed double-bill, ‘Madd Circus’ sees the duo return to the booty, electro-pop and funk of their critically acclaimed debut ‘Funk All Y’all’ and the skizoid electro of Paris’s debut solo release ‘The Mad Circus EP’ back in ‘99 on Detroit indie label Throw. As Paris himself states, “this album is a journey into the booty electro and pop contempo - almost funk but not quite so.” What we have is a left turn for the Pubahs as they prepare to sell tickets and open the doors to the Madd Circus. Did someone say dead elephants, tigers and horses? No they‘re not dead just driven madd by the Ring Master FU and the freak inhabited Mr O. From the opening electro-pop of ‘Autotragik’ and recent single ‘NUmb Deaf and Dumb’ (see video on www.senmusictv.com) the Pubahs are back on top electro form. The electro booty of ‘Zombies Playing Dead’ fits well with the skittish, Drexciyan style funk of the closing ‘Clone Mobile’ whilst tracks such as ‘Mashed Potato’ are pure, unrefined funk. ‘Breakfast In Bed’ sees Barry ‘the love walrus’ White taking over as Paris declares that ‘there’s no reason to get out of bed cause the buffet is right here’, ‘Maybe I Do’ and ‘Madd Circus’ fire a droning rock workout and twisted drum n bass into the crazed big top and
‘Mysterious Sights’ drops a bass heavy dubstep sound into travelling freakshow that can only be the Detroit Grand Pubah’s ‘Madd Circus’. Well produced and still raw at the same time ‘Madd Circus’ is the best Detroit Grand Pubahs so far!

Poker Flat Recordings proudly presents the Detroit Grand Pubahs! The seminal electro-funk outfit from Detroit returns with the second album. „Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus“ is a true masterpiece that spans a full variety of minimal Techno, dirty P-Funk, raw hip-smart booty beats and relaxed downbeat electronic grooves - all spiced up with a healthy portion of humor, cartoon sexuality and the search for the perfect booty. The vocoder pitched vocals by Paris The Black Fu and the other odd characters mark their destinctive signature sound without being limited to that. Already the first 12“ outtake (The Clapper feat. Jesper Dahlbäck remix, pfr38) from the album stired quite a buzz and made it into many clubcharts including the of- ficial German Dance charts. The next single „Big Onion“ (feat. Joakim remix, pfr43) will be released in March and will come with a video to vibe up for the album. The most prominent guest musicians involved in the album are Scott Sumner (engineering) and Randall G. Lynch (guitar) who are regular studio musicians for George Clinton. As outstanding as the music is the artwork which is based on sketches by Paris the Black Fu himself and pictures the attack of the galactic ass creatures.

A few months after the Detroit Grand Pubahs introduced their mad definition of motorcitybased Ghettobass/Ghettotech to the Poker Flat family through remixing Märtini Brös. „Hot“ on PFR 34 now is the time for their first 12“, soon to be followed by a full length album shot. „The Clapper“ tells the fantastic story of a lost alien visiting Planet Earth and being introduced to club culture by a girl. The story continues and - as usual when it comes to GhettoTech-lyrics - things get explicit... . Sung with overexaggerated hysteria - imagine 80s funk hero Prince performing on a amphetamine overdose - and accompanied by stomping uptempo ElectroTech-beats the original version on side A is going to be a big one in every set from House to Techno. from Electro(clash) to Bootybar-flavour. On the Flipside we have Jesper Dahlbäck on a remix tip, transfoming the whole track into a stomping, straightforward primetime context. Deskewing the vocals and using hammering metallic drums his interpretation is a primetime-force, a mad different method to set dancefloors on fire, bring up the lighter crew in a rave context and definitely calls for a rewind.

Sweden's veteran DJ & producer Samuel L Session makes his first appearance on Detelefunk with the "Blue Ripple EP". A gem of a single that keeps things deep, yet for the dancefloor, showing his unique blend of the Techno & House genres.
Starting production back in 1997 with his own Cycle imprint he broke into the music scene with releases such as "In Your Box" & "Check Out This I Bring".
It wasn't long before his production skills were in demand from many other labels, and he released singles on labels such as Kanzleramt, Phont, Hardgroove, and Monoid. As things started to take off he started his 2nd label, SLS, on which he had even more success with tracks like "Merengue".
As his production developed he decided in 2006 start a new label, Klap Klap, to focus more on the direction his music was taking him, a funkier, deeper sound.
This resulted in yet another worldwide hit with "Can You Relate" featuring the Detroit Grand Pubahs own Paris The Black FU, being picked up by DJs such as Steve Rachmad, Joris Voorn, Slam to name a few.
Remix requests soon followed getting attention with his remixes of Funk D' Void's "Diablo" on Soma + Blake Baxter & Trevor Rocklife's "Visions Of You" on Carl Cox's label Intec. Producers such as Kevin Saunderson, Jerome Sydenham, Audio Soul Project, Len Faki and Alexi Delano among others, all had their music tweaked and remade by the man.
Blue Ripple is a groovy tech house extravaganza, teasing throughout with alluring strings. While Staccato & Odyssey pick the pace up more and head for those late night peak time dancefloors with, driving kicks & filtered stabs.
With support for his productions from DJs like Laurent Garnier, Rolando, Francois Kevorkian, Christian Smith and Adam Beyer amoungst many others, Blue Ripple is set to send tiddle waves through the dance scene, not ripple's!
Tracklisting:
A: Blue Ripple
B1: Odyssey
B2: Staccato

Those fine purveyors of funk-fuelled electronics, Detroit Grand Pubahs are back with a new album for the new decade, and to whet your appetite for this highly anticipated return is their latest single ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’. The teaming of Mack Goudy Jr. (aka Paris the Black) & The Mysterious Mr O was a natural disaster waiting to happen. Miraculously, the personalities of these two tweaked characters seemed to compliment each other perfectly and they instantly bonded. As Detroit Grand Pubahs, they continue to rise to new heights with past albums like ‘Nuttin’ Butt Funk’ which included the mighty ‘Skydive From Venus’ as well as an ever progressing live show. Their own Detelefunk label (Detroit Electro Funk, to give it its full title) took a brief hiatus for much of 2009 while they moved distributors, but now it’s back with all funk guns blazing. On ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’ the Pubahs take on a classic break-up song, but add their own electro twists and turns. In typical Pubahs style the deep, sincere toned vocals, but sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrics from Paris are underpinned by the inspired machine antics of this duo. Long-standing UK tag-team Space DJz (Ben Long / Jamie Bissmire) turn in the first alternative mix; a stripped-down rumbler of dark electro proportions. While the legendary DJ Pierre draws on his pioneering acid skills to distort the vocals and add effective definition, making his ‘Afro Acid Mix’ a major dancefloor contender
this summer. Also check out the video for ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’ while you wait for the Pubahs next album to be unleashed later in the year.

A2: Numb Deaf And Dumb (Space DJz Mix)

The latest EP to come from the Detroit Grand Pubahs label Detelefunk is DJ and producer K‘ Alexi Shelby with “I Can Go”. Kaay is one of Chicago‘s true heroes and cited by many as a pioneer of the city‘s sound. At a young age of 12 he was already moving in the right circles befriending
worldwide legends like Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst frequenting the famous Warehouse. His upbringing in Chicago in the 70‘s and 80‘s meant he was exposed to a range of genres and different styles of music including Stevie Wonder, Prince, Curtis Mayfield and David Huff - these same names would prove to be the roots of influence. Kaay recorded for prime Chicago house labels Trax (with „Hot Swing“ and the album Trick Tracks as K. Kool); DJ International (producing one of the rare house albums, “Don‘t Cha Want It ?”), Derrick May‘s seminal techno label Transmat with the classic „All for Lee-Sah”, and later European labels ACV and Djax-Up-Beats. He is responsible for several early acid-house classics. He began DJing in the early ‚80s, and as part of the Risque Rhythm Team (later Risque II and Risque III), Shelby recorded „The Jacking Zone,“ „Essence of a Dream“ and „More than Just a Dance,“ all 1986-87 classics on the emerging house scene. He has a tally of successful hit records remixing and collaborating with other artists being sought by a diverse range of artists like The Pet Shop Boys ,DJ Deep, Derrick May, Paul Johnson, DJ Gregory, Kenny Dope, Mr Lee (who produces for R Kelly), Gene Hunt, Rolando, Maurice Joshua, Marshall Jefferson, Marc Romboy, Mark Grant, Larry Heard, Robert Owens, TjenTjen, Dave Angel, Felix Da Housecat, Will Smith, etc. It’s his unique smooth blend of techno and house, as Kaay calls ‘TecSoul’ (which is also the the name of his own label) that attracted the eye of the Pubahs with a track titled “I Can Go” featuring Kaay’s own vocals, and the heavy female breathing. Kaay states about “I Can Go”: Its just about things we can do all night: DJ-ing, sex, making music, playing, etc. I was really talking about DJing then started thinking about the other things I like to do all night”. Kaay delivered 2 versions of “I Can Go” showing his different sides of music that the Windy City is so well known for. The ‘Chicago House Mx1’ is deeper more
House orientated, while the ‘TecSoul’ version leans towards the jackin’ techno side. Both mixes keep things funky. On the remix is Raudive who uses his ChiTown musical influences: „it has been great to remix K Alexi material, he has been responsible for some absolute classic
music, a lot of the Chicago stuff has had a big influence on my Raudive productions, his stuff has the stripped down sparse funk and the warehouse jacking that I love..“ says Raudive aka Oliver Ho. Finally to complete this 4 tracks EP is “Man 2 Man’, offering a darker warehouse atmosphere, solid kicks followed by heavy breathing, and metallic sounding rhythms that build the track to a carnival fever. It‘s getting hammered by Robert Hood in almost all his DJ sets now, always sending the crowd into a frenzy and DJs rushing to the turntables to find out what it is. A jam packed release not to be missed for anyone into techno or house.
