Ride With Pride So what is Sweet Soul? Maybe the sweet spot between lowrider and symphonic soul? Lush yet vibrant pro- duction, seemingly wrapped in audible silk, sure to give every listener pause. Either way, if one thing is certain, it's purpose stays perfectly clear. Pleasure, low and slow, bajito y suavecito. Every kiss begins with soul, or sweet soul for low rides. Sweet soul is the predecessor to what we now call modern soul. It came into it's own in the late '60s and '70s, alongside-but apart from-the grittier, funk-driven soul dominating the airwaves. Where that music pushed hard rhythms and raw emotion, sweet soul softened the edges. It favored melody, warmth, and Polish, giving it a calm, lush feel that made it easy to return to, and easy to love, even de- cades later.

'Hopes and Dreams' is the title of the brand new compilation series from Tramp Records. This new series draws on the music selection of 'Praise Poems', not only in terms of obscurity, but also in terms of genius. Similar, but anything but a poor copy, the focus is on rare grooves from the 1970s.The album contains genuine rarities that definitely deserve more attention. Take, for example, the opener by Guamanian Frankie & the Karter's Peanut Organization. The protagonist comes from Guam, a tiny island in the western Pacific, a good 5000km north of Australia. The previously unreleased 'Back In Time' comes from an acetate pressing. As far as we know, it is the only existing copy. Easy and Carrie Chaplin & Mark Perron delight us with light folk soul, and fans of Terry Callier will certainly enjoy the following songs. Family Progression, Brandy, and Benito Hodge breathe a little jazz into the soul. Incidentally, the co-producer of 'Loving You' was none other than Hubert Eaves III, who was part of the electro-funk duo 'D-Train' in the 1980s and had several Billboard Dance and R&B chart successes.A little psych rock or psych soul is also a must. The remaining songs by Godspeed, Reflection, Sons of Jubal, The ThreeO, and John Laughter & the Third Generation probably fall into this category. All of them are extremely rare and magnificent at the same time. When you hear the first notes of 'She Who Stands Beside Me,' you inevitably think of Portishead before you are unexpectedly caught off guard by the song's brutal mood change. And with 'By The Sea,' we are pleased to present another previously unreleased song.- deluxe double double-gatefold vinyl LP with detailed liner notes and unseen photographs- the vinyl LP comes with a full album download code- ALL songs appear on vinyl LP for the very first time- pressed on BIO-VINYL = Replacement of petroleum in S-PVC by recycling used cooking oil or industrial waste gasesTracklisting:A1.

Walter Thomas’s “Chicago Knights” LP features a retrospective of songs written and released between 1987 and 2009, primarily with the Roland 1824 and the Fostex 8-track reel-to-reel. Channeling the spirit of underground soul and dance music specifically rooted within the greater area of Chicago, Illinois—a city known for its deep and healthy soul and R&B roots—this compilation features 8 of its 9 tracks on vinyl for the very first time.The intro track "I Wanna Get Witcha" dates back to 1987 and holds a proven track record of kicking off many a dance floor, rocking clubs worldwide in a blur of boogie-funk, disco, and soul. "Immaturity" and both versions of "Fed Up" echo the emotional differences and tensions between lovers in a spat. "Magic City" served as the anthem and homage to its namesake roller-skating rink in 90s-era Waukegan, IL. While "Chicago Knights" is a relentless mid-tempo groove inspired by the aggressive motorists that dominate Chicago roadways, "2nd Chance" drops the tempo to a slow R&B roll, preaching the ethos of love, peace, and forgiveness. Last but certainly not least, "E&J's" was a real commercial jingle used for a once-legendary BBQ joint, "E&J's," in Illinois: a short bonus track to close out the LP. These 9 tracks are just a touch of Walter’s expansive body of work, and we’re stoked to bring them to you on wax.

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.

Zena, the contemporary ethio-jazz duo from London comprised of producer, keyboardist and synth player Yohan Kebede and bassist/producer Menelik, have announced the forthcoming release of their debut EP 'TEMESGEN'; is a six-track aural odyssey that balances uncompromising experimentation with a deep sense of home, comfort, and exploration. In accordance with the duo's mission, the project is seeking to redefine and reimagine Ethiopian music for a new generation. Speaking on the inspiration behind the EP's title, Yohan said: "'TEMESGEN' means "Thank God" in Amharic, and for me, I never heard my mother receive good news without saying it aloud. After the first couple gigs we did as Zena, we saw how people reacted to our music and how it resonated with them. It spurred in us a feeling of overwhelming gratitude, after which the EP kind of named itself".Born out of a mutual love and respect for the music of their shared Ethiopian heritage, Zena are charting a new endeavor where Ethiopian musical traditions meet the future. Building upon the roots and foundations laid by legendary Ethiopian musicians Haliu Mergia, Alemayehu Eshete and Mulatu Astatke, Zena fuses the haunting spirituality and earthiness of the ethio-jazz tradition with a modernity, sensuality and sense of disruption that is distinctly London.Following three sold-out London headline shows, plus appearances at We Out Here Festival and on NTS Radio, Zena arrive on Brownswood Recordings with a bold debut that's equally at home across jazz-minded selectors and leftfield crate-diggers. The duo's momentum is fueled by Yohan Kebede's landmark year with Kokoroko; from the release of Tuff Times Never Last to an NPR Tiny Desk, a North American tour, and their biggest headline show yet at O2 Academy Brixton, alongside Menelik's quietly formidable reputation in London's inner circle, shaped by time on the road and in the studio with Muva Of Earth and Bill Laurance.RIYL: Mulatu Astatke, Hailu Mergia, Khruangbin, Solange, Admas
