RUSH HOUR SHOP TOP TIP

.
Hi there! Here are just some of the highlights of what we have in store for you this week.

Sensational – that’s Frank Hatchett! These words can be found on many of the 16 albums credited to the legendary NYC jazz dancer, choreographer, and teacher to the stars - Madonna, Brooke Shields, Olivia Newton-John, and Naomi Cambell. Check out this rock solid compilation with music- not by Frank, but used in his masterclasses and recorded by studio players under the guidance of musical director Don Tipton or arranger Zane Mark. Hugely recommended !

Essential soul-disco-reggae-funk-fusion by Gerard P.J. Brown, reissued officially for the first time by Backatcha and cut loud from the studio master tape onto 12” single. Must check!

Be With Records make the essential Arthur Russell collection of work ‘Another thought’available again. An absolute must have for even the most casual Arthur Russell collection, in fact for any fan of non-obvious pop music ! Also in this week, two more of his excellent albums - ‘Iowa dream’ and ‘World of echo’ -  freshly repressed on the Rough Trade label

Check our Sampology’s  ‘Regrowth’ for a warm, versatile set of tracks with all of the samples you hear,  recorded from scratch either in his home studio or on his travels over the past four years. 

Far Our comes with two incredible brit funk classics from the early days of Freeez - epic stuff to boogie to !

Numero drops a hot nugget with a 7” dedicated to Pastor T.L. Barret’s  gospel classic ‘Like a ship’ 

Pretty Sneaky drops in... pretty sneaky with an excellent leftfield house four tracker for the belgian Meakusma label

Two Autechre classics , ‘LP5’ and ‘Chiastic slide’ are reissued by the mighty Warp this week

Reuben Vaun Smith returns to Soundway Records with a sonic odyssey through lo-fi Balearic and Afro-Caribbean influenced synth, continueing his exploration into improvised live instruments and programming, while venturing into new territories of music-making and genres including soca, benga and trip hop. 

And closing off, PLZ Make it Ruinz releases the debut by East London rapper and producer John Glacier, a deeply personal record driven by Glacier’s direct poetic delivery and Vegyn’s alternative take on trap and hip-hop templates
