achtung, babyboomers und digital-ureinwohners: fettes brot doktert sich mit der hausinternen zeitmaschine retour in die hinteren jahre des vorherigen jahrtausends und buddelt die ersten vier eigenen 90s-hip hop-meilensteine wieder aus. anders ausgedrückt: es gab ein leben vor dem internetz und die vorstadtkrokos von fettes brot planschten damals schon im haifischbecken musikindustrie. doch, wer weiß das noch? auf den febro-konzerten der letzten 10 jahre lief kaum mehr classic material als jein, nordisch by nature und da draussen, die tonträger bis 2000 gab s seit fünf sommern nur noch 2nd hand zu kaufen und null davon je legal-digital. nur: die bevölkerung braucht das. zum glück hören die 3 partypiepen manchmal sogar zu und schworen sogleich besserung. das brot der frühen jahre erscheint endlich wieder in vier frischen portionen auf lp - neu gemastert in old school stereo, erweitert um einen batzen bonüsse (b-seiten, remixe, features, demos und live-perlen), verziert mit luftigen lebenslügen der 3, ergänzt um reichlich zwielichte zeitzeugenberichte und zugeschüttet mit einem füllhorn verschollener fotos.

latin freestyle was a dizzying, passionate, ultra-modern music. it was the aural equivalent of a can of thirst-quenching quatro or a spanish harlem dance-off, and it became the electronically constructed bridge between disco and house.

reissue - miraculously rare and seriously obscure killer dubs. one of the very few hard core seventies dub albums mixed by errol brown. a selection of solid dubs originally recorded in 1978 by bb seaton at duke reid s legendary treasure isle studio and mixed in-house by the duke s nephew errol brown. a radical departure for all concerned this bold dub album was never officially released although a few clandestine copies reputedly did the new york rounds at the time. mojo by david katz - extremely rare 1978 dub album stands up against any from that era - -errol brown began engineering through family connections, producer duke reid was his uncle. trained by the highly-skilled byron smith, chief engineer at reid s treasure isle facility, brown cut his teeth mixing alton ellis, the paragons, peter tosh and marcia griffiths. -orthodox dub- dates from 1978 when bb seaton of the gaylads was working closely with brown at treasure isle, cutting tracks with ken boothe and mikey dread along with self-produced work, and although only ever issued in tiny numbers as pre-release lp in the bronx, these dubs pack a mighty punch, easily on par with any of the dub sets issued in the era by channel one or joe gibbs. outstanding tracks include -roots rockas-, a stripped down cut of boothe s -who really cares-, and -black forest rock-, a bass-heavy reading of seaton s -is life-.-
