Melbourne producer Lynton Carr drops his LC3 release on his own Shed Music imprint.

Originally released in 1976 ‘See The Light’ was Eddie Russ’ 2nd album and has been issued here with superb sound quality. ‘Zaius’ is a magical track that has retained its popularity and one of the genre’s best ever track – a jazz dancer’s delight! The uptempo cover of EWF ‘See The light’ really kicks and ‘Poko Nose’ is another funk groove oriented track, whilst ‘Stop It now’ is a disco dancer. Classic, essential Jazz Funk!

Modern sounds for the 21st century featuring modal, progressive and esoteric contemporary jazz from the UK, Spain, Netherlands, Finland, USA, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, Germany, and Italy.

FRANK is the latest release from Dolfin Records, a Texas indie label with a prominent underground roster that includes rapper Lord Byron, producer Ben Hixon, R&B singer Jon Bap, and former Stanley Clarke drummer Mike Mitchell. Liv.e is one of the newer artists on the label, having previously collaborated with Hixon through a series of DJ parties in Dallas (New Math Mondays). Hixon and Bap have significant marks on this project, providing production, mixing, and background vocals. The beats they lend are often heavy on the drums, with short, hazy riffs that resemble Dilla-style syncopated loops.FRANK opens with a short hiss, launching into a jittery pattern of cymbals and drums, stinging bass slaps, and bouncy guitar riffs. You can almost see the tape reels rolling in front of you as the instrumental loops play themselves out with occasional flutters and skips. A chorus of voices enter with harmonies out of the George Clinton songbook, blending in behind the slow, finger-snapping beat. It sounds more like a lost, dusty funk recording from the 70s than an R&B song made in 2017.
