beer for funk
gig for free drinks @ csiga with tomanek

This's been a time to play for free beers for the public. Leroy Hutson, the Ghana funkers, Eddie Jefferson, and all the other names known from the evening radio show made this unexpected oppurtunity into a soft sitting party. Ehmm.. Yeah. There's been that drunk guy who was dancing to George Benson.

Playing with the music, playing the music, I like to play. And if you play, you allways need your buddies. It's like that.

JM.004 *****
jazzman records
a. Dee Felice Trio - Nightingale
b. Los Brasilios - Brasilian Beat

Long known on the jazz dance scene as one of the premier jazz dance classics of all time, 'Nightingale' by the Dee Felice Trio was only released on the B-side of an obscure 7" on the small Terry label in the '60s. The desirability and rarity of the original record has recently seen it change hands for up to Ł400! The trio have not been around for some time now, but we at Jazzman Records have acquired an exclusive license to reissue the track legally for the first time! Perfect for jazz dancing, it's an uptempo drum, bass and piano instrumental with a catchy melody and irresistable foot-tapping latin swing to it! We've also added a bonus B-side too, with Los Brasilios providing a groovy scat femme vocal over some wicked Brasilian beats & rhythms! This is the fourth single release in our innovative 7" reissue series.

This one for mr Nzanga.

JM.005 *****
jazzman records
a. Letta Mbulu - What is Wrong with Groovin'
b. Lorez Alexandria - Send in the Clowns

Our previous four 45s have been met with worldwide acclaim and this record has all the hallmarks and potential of being just as successful! The original US 7" issue of Letta Mbulu 'What is Wrong with Groovin' and the Japanese LP from Lorez Alexandria featuring 'Send in the Clowns' have seen collectors and DJs around the world throwing their wallets at dealers in attempts to get hold of the originals, but due to rarity and demand few people been lucky enough to see them, let alone own them! So here they are presented for the first time on a double sided 7" for all to hear! Side one features Letta Mbulu and this catchy tune sways beautifully between jazz and soul. A rounded bass peppered with some cheeky bossa licks and thoughtful piano touches add to the jazzy flavour, but it's the soulful vocals that are the icing on the cake. Lorez Alexandria's dreamy vocals compliment a quirky horn-led jazz combo in a stunning off-beat uptempo groove on the other side. Another highly-regarded tune from the genius that is Lorez Alexandria backed with flawless musicianship that few others can rival.

This one for mr Spityu Zu.

JM.028 *****
jazzman records
a. Mark Murphy - Why Dont You Do Right
b. Eddie Jefferson - Psychedelic sally

Amongst his 40 or so albums, Murphy also recorded a little-known 45 for Riverside Records in 1962. ‘Why Don’t You Do Right’ is one of those jazz standards that sounds great anytime, and the finger popping rhythms combine with the backing vocals to swing serenely under Murphy’s expert guidance. Liza Minelli said 'There's a party goin' on in Mark's head - and I want to go to it!' If you’re the DJ, make sure this 45 is in your box! Eddie Jefferson was the creator of "Vocalese" and was also one of the great Be-Bop singers. Before he died in 1979 Jefferson remembered the early ‘50s, ‘King Pleasure heard me in Cincinnati when I was working at a place called the Cotton Club with Jack McDuff.’ He enjoyed a longer career than that of Murphy, and was no less hip! His vocals on this version of Horace Silver’s ‘Psychedelic Sally’ have enthused hipsters, listeners and jazz dancers for over 30 years now. It’s on the flipside but could easily be on the A side. Why don’t you do right – sort one out for your DJ box today!

This one for myself.

bad news from camden



Jazzman Records is closed - reports my friend djMenö from Camden. After 12 years it is over. I think I've been one of the last real (face2face) costumers and it's a real honour. But JazzmanRecords is still rolling the website, so go on, visit the link and buy some real hot funky stuff.

Slide - Slippedy Slide
FLR039 fingerlickin, march 2003

Slippedy Slide
Sunset Baby


"Finger Lickin' good you can groove, move, shake that booty, jump up and down like a dog on heat, Its a monster slab of vinly." (stu ibb @ tunes.co.uk) This boy's right. After a half year I had to figure out that this is the party track of the year played in the summer by names like Pedro and Dzihan&Kamien. This is probably the funkiest vinyl I've got (alright, i don't have many but I've got some). This track's a crossover between funk, disco, house and breakbeat and I think this's my fave lickin record. Bought in Berwick street, of course. (The phone rings now spityu's there and he's listening to this track... é'd say this is "megadurva")

BIG XMAS EGO SHOPPING
We did one of the world's most dangerous things, gone with the spare money to the flea market and to a record shop. Don't do it at home, kids, cos i'm a professional. I bought these records for 3000 HUF (11 Euro). In the first phase we visited the flea market at Pecsa. It's like Camden in London, only smaller and isn't so extreme... I'd say in an other way extreme: I bought 3 CDs for 1000 HUF from a right extremist party supporter. Then we left the market and went to Underground Records, a bigger house record store in Budapest. I just wanted to buy some tickets for tonights party, but I couldn't resist to check the sales and I found treasures.


Groove Armada - Superstylin' ***
Jive, august 2001

1. Superstylin' (G.A. 7 Edit)
2. Superstylin' (G.A. Diskotek Mix)
3. Running In (Dub Mix)


A musthave piece. It's one of the biggest electronic hits ever made, everybody loves it, so. The Diskothek Mix isn't so well known, you can play it, without having a bad feeling that you play retro.

Groove Armada - My Friend ****
Jive, november 2001

1. My Friend (Radio Edit )
2. My Friend (Dorfmeister Vs Madrid De Los Austrias Dub )
3. My Friend (Swag's Good Buddy Remix)


A musthave piece nr2, sweet memories about my friends. And the remixes are just huge. Really a good-buy record. The only thing is wrong with this CD, that you can't play it on your PC, so I can't upload it to my musicphone.

Roots Manuva - Dreamy Days ***
Jive, november 2001

1 Dreamy Days (Radio Edit)
2 Dreamy Days (Vocal Mix by MJ Cole)
3 Dreamy Days (Remix by Super Furry Animals)


Dj Shadow feat Roots Manuva: GDMFSOF we love this track, alright? MJ Cole the master of garage and the broken Furry Animals made middleclass remixes, but i think for 1 Euro you wouldn't mind it anyway

Capoeira Twins -Messin' Around *****
tru thoughts, november 2002

Messin’ Around
Messin’ Around (Quantic Remix)


A vinyl for 4 euros. Tru Thoughts name's a guarantee for lovely dance tunes and Quantic's remix's just the cherry on the pie. "I love Capoeira twins always happy, danceable, good rhythms …wicked!" DJ Spider , La Marquise, France. Agree.

Unknown - Born Sloppy ***
white label, ??? 2003

Born Sloppy

This tune is a retouch of Underworld's Born Slippy and Electronauts Bumper (Plump DJs remix). The first time I heard I thought what a nice try in the studio, this DJ is mixing 2 records together, then I had to find out that this is another white label bootleg. I was a bit disappointed, it isn't that good joke to put it on vinyl, you can make it self at home too. But I had to buy this too, cos this vinyl lied on the counter like a failure. Yepp, a 5mm piece of this LP's edge is broken, I can't play this record from the beginning, 6 seconds are missing. But what did Spityu Zusay? Only the freshmen are playing the record from the beginning.

tori amos - don't make me come to vegas ****
epic, may 2003

a. Timo on Tori Alternate Version
b. Timo on Tori Breaks Remix

this is it, the best track from nóri's mix. i'm not talking about the A side, of course.
nóri - radio kaos (the break mix) *****
tilos, november 2003

download here

Long live this little girl! How could be a set so emotionfull, so hard, so girly? I'm just amazed by these beats and the songs like the Timo Maas version of Don't make me come to Vegas by Tori Amos, Born Slippy vs Bumper and all the other tracks. The only thing I want is an all-night girl-power breakbeat session made by Ludmilla, Miss Bliss and Nóri, my new fave female dj.
