ANDY WESTBURY (FUNKI JUNKI) - ELDICA VINYL MIX FOR NUTS - RECORDED JULY 09

Another one especially for Nuts To Soup, this time by collector extraordinaire and the proprietor of one of the last few record stores standing in London - Andy Westbury.

Andy runs Eldica Vinyl in the middle of Dalston and within the past couple of years has become one of my favourite spots.

Check out the store - he'll take care of you, just don't speak bad of James Brown. www.eldica.co.uk

Bangin I'm sure you'd agree, There's another one just round the corner. 

This mix was put together through the combined effort of two of the original and freshest sounds in London if not the UK today - Hype Williams (Rawls Grabfelder/Karen) and Hounds of Hate. Both bands worked together in producing each of the others tracks during the conception stage of this project, which inevitably led to this 20 minute wonder. 

At the risk of putting these groups into a sound bracket, I think the best description would possibly be lo fi/boogie/psychedelia reminiscent of the 80's devil funk band Wicked Witch - they may disagree.

This sold out on it's original format and demand is still high, so it is a real privilege to be able to get this out there to all NTS readers.

MY KIND OF WOMAN (RE - EDIT) courtesy of STEVIE J 

A few months back I did a review on this record (see past review) and remember saying I was going to post up an edit of it as soon as i got it done. Well here it is only thing is i did'nt do this edit - I tried and tried and tried again, but eventually came to the conclusion that i was useless at this, it just didn't sound right.

The other evening Funkineven came by and we discussed the record and its potential - he said he would do the edit, I had it with me within 30 minutes of him getting his hands on the track.

THE GROUPIES - ALAN LORBER (1969) - EARTH RECORDS

GRUPO DE EXPERIMENTACIÓN SONORA DEL ICAIC (1969 -1976)

One of my favourite groups of all time, really if their was a movie made about me - the majority of their tracks will be on the soundtrack. Grupo de expermentacion sonora del icaic - formed in 1969 - was a collection of talented Cuban artists brought together by Alfredo Guevara who at the time was president of the Cuban Institute of cinematographic Art and Industry. The groups sound was as diverse as their numbers - no coherent procession, some tracks sound like your listening to a Cuban elder reciting an ancient ditty, to , someone sitting in a smokey jazz bar thumping on the piano keys. Their sound doesn't "evolve" from album to album but rather from track to track on each individual album - I guess to show each of the members individual prowess in different genres of music - leaving nothing uncovered.
