hey people! I am set to resurrect this thing in 2013…watch here for my fave 5 of 2012 in the coming days. Five guaranteed party shakers for the people!
Be sure to catch what we’re up to over at the label site KEPT RECORDS too, as we’ve got three new 45s coming in the first quarter of 2013!
The desert-psych-funk sounds of Brownout are featured on this limited run 45rpm 7-inch via KEPT RECORDS
Brownout deliver a one-two punch of slick brass horns, fuzz-tinged guitars and hypnotic rhythms, making this Kept Records release sound like it was born in a sun-baked psychedelic desert. “Flaximus” is a killer instrumental number that rumbles from hard hitting Latin funk through to bottom heavy psych-rock, while on the flipside, “I Won’t Lie” delivers a shot of ensemble vocals, with guitars loaded to the gills and no nonsense percussion, creating a groove that is set to pull you straight into the heat of the desert-psych-funk sounds of Brownout.

more quality sounds from @secretstashrecs being reissued, and here is the title cut from their latest gem.
From Secret Stash Records:
Body Music, Afro Funk’s 1975 LP, was recorded and released in London, England. The band was comprised mostly of West-African expatriates residing there. At the time, the city was host to a vibrant African music scene. The massive success of Osibisa created a swarm of young bands trying to use London as a launching pad for international stardom. Unfortunately, Afro Funk did not find the success they were looking for and Body Music became their only album. The deep funk grooves and driving afrobeat rhythms featured on this rare LP have made it a desired addition to record collections around the world.
After its small private press release in London on “Kabana Records,” Body Music was also released in extremely limited quantites by Kojo Asare’s Chairman Records in Ghana. Despite the well crafted mix of various West-African styles and American funk, without the support of a label and no major touring it quickly faded into obscurity. Today copies rarely surface. Secret Stash is proud to present the first ever reissue of this collectable piece of African music history. As always, this vinyl only release includes a digital download card giving the user high quality MP3s of the entire album.

This comes from “Baby Don’t Play Me Wayo,” which has funky cuts, some highlife and some straight up burners on it - - but this one really makes you wanna dance.
