Keith Sweat discovered this female trio (Athena Cage, Lavonn Battle, and Tabitha Duncan) from Atlanta, but Kut Klose had a lot more going for them than just being the protAgAs of a superstar. 1995as Surrender (their lone album) has become a real cult classic (or Kult Klassik, if you will), no doubt in part because songs like aoGet Up on Ita? and aoSexual Babya? are just plain steamy. But the production is tight, too, with the H.O.P. Productions team, Eric McCaine, and Fitzgerald Scott joining Sweat in laying down the sultry grooves. aoI Likea? was the hit, but the whole record just has that aoletas stay in for the nighta? vibe. Never released on vinyl in the U.S., Surrender comes in a light blue pressing complete with a printed inner sleeve. Long desired by R&B collectors!

Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It's no wonder that "Just the Two of Us" and "Ain't No Sunshine" won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Still Bill is Withers' third studio album and continues to showcase his remarkable versatility, touching upon smooth Philly soul, funk, blues and 70s folk slash singer/songwriter. Upon release the record was both a commercial and critical success and is considered a landmark 1970s R&B record. It features the hit singles "Lean on Me" and "Use Me", as well as "Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?" appearing on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Unsurprisingly, next to Just As I Am, this record also made it into Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, coming in at #333. This edition includes booklet featuring a reflective essay on Bill Withers written by Grammy-nominated poet, journalist and humanitarian Kevin Powell. Still Bill is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent green coloured vinyl.

Unguarded, wholly realised and entirely his own - Wesley Joseph's long-awaited debut album sees the singer, songwriter, producer and director at his most confidently vulnerable, expressing the many layers of his creative life journey.The result is 'Forever Ends Someday': 13 tracks of self-examination cut with expansive escapism. On the Danny Brown feature "Peace of Mind", meanwhile, Joseph blasts through his anxieties and delivers a bass-rattling anthem with confidence and reassurance, "July" finds Joseph collaborate with Jorja Smith as the pair perform a rejoiceful callback, recorded in their hometown of Walsall, reminiscing on how far they've come, as well as all they have lost.Three years in the making, Joseph took time away from the spotlight to find his story, choosing to pursue the honesty of his art rather than capitalising on career momentum - with highlights including a sold-out headline date at London's KOKO and a sold-out North American tour. "I just treated the record like a vessel, throwing things into it from my life all the time," he says.The title Forever Ends Someday refers to the fleeting beauty of the present moment - "the idea that when you're young things will last forever but then you grow up to realise youth is borrowed," Joseph explains - the album's tracks depict an honest reflection of human experience through both the light and dark.Recorded between London, Walsall, Los Angeles and "halfway up a mountain in Switzerland," Joseph enlisted a core team of collaborators and co-producers to execute his vision over the three years of writing. He worked closely with composer Nicholas Jaar (The Weeknd, FKA Twigs), who lent his soundscaping sensibility to several tracks, producer Harvey Dweller (Loyle Carner, Joy Crookes), Mercury Prize-nominated Tev'n (Rina Sawayama, SBTRKT), A. K. Paul (Nao, Fabiana Palladino), Al Shux (JAY Z, Kendrick Lamar, SZA), Ryan Raines (Paul McCartney, Dominic Fike) and producer Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton).From Walsall to the world, 'Forever Ends Someday' shows that Joseph's legacy has only just begun.

"It's a lyrical departure, but it reflects what I've been going through these past few years."The project also marks a return to in-person collaboration and a new embrace of sampling and sonic experimentation.

Last year Ace Records were delighted to reissue The Brides of Funkenstein's debut LP from 1978, "Funk Or Walk". Featuring their hit single 'Disco To Go', this album put the Brides on the map and sold strongly. Before sessions commenced for a second album, Lynn Mabry left the group before sessions commenced for a second album, leaving Dawn Silva alone at the altar. George Clinton added P-Funk backing singers Jeanette McGruder and Sheila Horne to the mix, creating a three-pronged vocal attack. Sessions featured the cream of the P-Funk players including keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell, bassist Bootsy Collins and guitarist Garry Shider. The resulting album, released in 1979, was even better that their debut. The title track ran for over 15 minutes on side one, showcasing the vocal and musical prowess of all concerned. Other tracks included 'Party Up In Here', 'Smoke Signals', 'Mother May I?' and the gorgeous ballad 'Didn't Mean To Fall In Love'. Although it did not spawn a hit single, "Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy" sold as strongly as "Funk Or Walk" and over time has been hailed as a classic P-Funk album. With liner notes from Ace's Ian Shirley, we are delighted to release it on orange vinyl and CD. You don't need your mother's permission to buy it either.

We could expound upon the history of this 1969 release on the Bethlehem label, but perhaps it's best to let the producer of the album do it. You might have heard of him-THE GODFATHER OF SOUL, JAMES BROWN! Here are his words from the back cover: "Between my concerts, one-nighters, and working with people in the poverty and 'Stay in School' programs, I find time to fly into Cincinnati to record - and for three years now everybody's been hippin me to dig the Dee Felice Trio. Last fall my production manager Bud Hobgood put me in a car, between sessions and between sessions we ended up at the Living Room Supper Club where the Trio was playing. After listening to the first set, I knew I had to record an album of standards with this trio backing me up, and I wasted no time in signing them to a contract - on the spot." So not only did the Dee Felice Trio back James Brown on his 1969 King release Gettin' Down to It, but also the Godfather turned around and produced the Trio's In Heat for Bethlehem. We will once again cede the floor to Mr. Brown: "The music in this album is a 'mixed bag,' whether your 'Stroke' is Soul, Rock, Blues, Folk or Bossa Nova -it's here to hear AND ALL WITH AN UNDERLYING Jazz Beat." We've remastered In Heat for this reissue-like James says, "Just put the record on the box, turn up volume and Dig, Baby Dig."

Vinyl LP pressing. "I heard about Seif Abu Bakr and The Scorpions maybe 3-4 years ago. Their album Jazz, Jazz Jazz ended up on my radar because of an eBay auction with the bids eventually rising daily up to a staggering 1000$. The music is a unique combination of incredible horn arrangements powerfully performed, a vigorous drummer contributing a funky backbone and Seif's vocals uniting those elements. The results range from instrumental tracks awaking memories of 1970s crime thriller soundtracks to more Sudanese-rooted tracks, a lot of them modernized versions traditional rhythms of the diverse regions of Sudan and even an excursion into Colgolese Soukouss. I went for my second trip to Sudan in December 2018 and after doing some research on the first trip my local colleagues Larissa and Yassir had managed to reach Amir, The Scorpions band leader and he was happy to meet. We got together with him in a Cafe right at the Nile in Omdurman. It was a happy occasion for everyone. He told us stories about him meeting Jimmy Cliff and Lewis Armstrong when they visited Sudan and how he and his band mates from The Scorpions played extensively in Kuwait, both in club residencies as well as for television. Amir brought tons of incredible photos illustrating not only the bands history but the vivid cultural live in the many music clubs in Khartoum of the 1970s. During this decade up until 1983 the capital was home to a huge number of clubs, bards and concert halls. This scene started to perish after president Nimeiry's turn away from his socialist policies, that he was widely associated with in the first decade of his rule, towards the implementation of Sharia law in 1983. During the first decade of his rule he had actively supported various artists of the Jazz scene, taking some of them on trips throughout Africa. The 1989 coup of Bashir and his generals then caused the final blow to a once thriving scene. Both of these political events within six years lead to significant drawbacks for the Sudanese jazz scene resulting into hardly no gig opportunities left and parties and concerts being critically observed. A number of musicians faced prosecution, most of the time for their political views; some left Sudan for good. Music never completely vanished from public life and even the regime kept selected artists close, but for a majority of those bands affiliated to the jazz scene life and making ends became a lot harder. The Scorpions dissolved as a group around the same time. The re-release was produced with a clean copy of the vinyl version as a source. The original reel tape of the album stayed with Saif Abu Bakr along with another reel with other recordings that were never released. Unfortunately it was lost when Saif Abu Bakr had to flee to Kuwait temporarily during the second gulf war when Iraq raided Kuwait." (Jannis Stuerz / Habibi Funk Records, 2018)

If you were to ask Joey Quiñones where he found inspiration for his music, you wouldn't have to look far from where the East LA son grew up. Listen to his work, and you're transported to a two-block radius of his neighborhood-from the liquor store to Sign of Music record store on Whittier Boulevard and back to a homie's house. In those two blocks, you hear cumbia blaring from the stores, punk rehearsals from a garage, oldies drifting from a neighbor's yard-a sensory overload that follows you home,all those genres singing in your head at once.This isn't a revelation to longtime fans of Quiñones' music. He has established himself as a premier interpreter of his generation, dedicating his career to offering his unique perspective on the Chicano soul songbook. But before Thee Sinseers, before the lush orchestrations and pitch-perfect harmonies that became his signature, Quiñones cut his teeth leading various backing bands for visiting Jamaican ska and dancehall acts touring Southern California. He describes those years as reggae college, getting yelled at by every Jamaican artist who had a record out. Those years ofapprenticeship in rock steady and roots reggae would inform everything that followed-and on his new solo record Inna Soul Steady Situation, Quiñones finally showcases those influences front and center.That quintessential blending of styles rings out immediately on the opening track "Soul Steady Situation"-Quiñones's vocals enter like a selector toasting over the riddim, an alarm call announcing his intentions with an urgency that feels club-ready and immediate. Then comes the classic drum fill, dropping into a rock steady groove that establishes the vibe: this is dancehall-infused soul meant for movement, not just contemplation. It's a deliberate departure from Thee Sinseers' lush orchestrations, stripped down to showcase the Jamaican foundations that have always lived beneath Quiñones's work.Before you know it, you've taken off on a sonic soul spaceship with Quiñones at the helm, supported by his two-person crew: Eric Johnson from Thee Sinseers on saxophone and Eleazar from the Brown Boyz on piano, as you cruise across silver-lined clouds and dip your toes into dreamy moonlit grooves found on "Don't Let Go," "Driftin'" and "One MoreNight."What Quiñones manages to do on this record-with the full support of Colemine Records, the defining label for contemporary soul music happening right now-is prove time and time again that he is an artist willing to take risks and continue to show his prowess when it comes to experimenting with different styles, while still being able to authentically express himself. It's a partnership built on trust: Colemine has established itself as the premier destination for modern soul artists pushing the genre forward, recognizing that genre-blurring isn't a gimmick but the natural evolution of soul music itself.With that authentic self-expression, Quiñones and his crew manage to squeeze in some lighthearted fun as well, establishing a sense of equilibrium to counteract the heavier emotional overtones found on previous Sinseers efforts. A perfect example is "Bolsita," a tongue-in-cheek party song paying homage to iconic anthems like "Tequila" by The Champs and "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell & the Drells. But Quiñones doesn't stop there-he folds in electric boogaloo, early Ray Charles big band energy,and the Latin soul flourishes of Joe Cuba and Willie Colón, creating something that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Eric Johnson's saxophone takes center stage, adding playful solos that widen the sonic spectrum. The term "bolsita," which translates to "little bag," serves as the lingua franca for "let's get the party started"-it's admittedly corny, Quiñones will tell you, but it's the kind of song where everybody's going to shout along whether they like it or not. And that's precisely the point.

Guess That's Just Loving You
There Must Be Something
Don't Let Go

KIZZY is the breakthrough EP from rising East London artist Bel Cobain, one of the most distinctive new voices emerging from the UK alternative R&B and soul landscape. Written across 18 months of late-night ideas, scattered sessions, and quiet breakthroughs, the project captures an artist in motion.

She blends conversational storytelling with her distinct smoky vocals, reflecting on change, learning to let go, and finding light in the aftermath. The EP invites the listener to listen closely to the cracks, the softness, and the pulse of the beauty that still rises when a chapter turns.Bel Cobain is fast becoming known for her ability to connect deeply with audiences, pairing classic songwriting instincts with a contemporary sonic edge.
