<strong>Tutankhamun</strong> • Ask Me Again • 2022 • Nice Guys Records "Ask Me Again" is the second single from the upcoming LP "Big Foot" by London based multi-instrumentist Olly Toomey aka Tutankhamun. It's the perfect mix of lo-fi psychedelic pop and soul. Heavy rotating! <strong>СОЮЗ (Soyuz)</strong> • Glance • 2022 • MR BONGO Belarus 70's MPB? Mr Bongo just released Minsk based collective Soyuz's third LP. An ode to the works of Edu Lobo, Arthur Verocai, Milton Nascimento and more recently Sessa who is featured on "Como é que vai voicê". Being recorded in 2022 and sung in Russian, "Glance" is very unexpected, but as sophisticated and beautiful as its masters. <strong>Phantom Traffic</strong> • Right On Time - Club Nowadays, Vol. 2 • 2022 • Nowadays Records Already featured on "La Mamie's Trip" compilation earlier this year, Parisian duo "Phantom Traffic" comes back on Nowadays label forthcoming compilation "Club Nowadays, Vol. 2" with "Right On Time". Expect more acid lines and a repetitive filtered disco sample for a welcome throw back to the 90's French house! <strong>Serginho Meriti</strong> • Bons Momentos • 1981 • Universal Music, Time Capsule "Bons Momentos" by amazing carioca songwriter Sérginho Meriti is an irresistible Black Rio sound, far too short early 80s samba funk classic. The eponymous LP is an all-killer-no-filler fusion of samba funk and samba rock, demonstrating the songwriting and vocalist talents of Meriti. <strong>Mahotella Queens</strong> • Abaculi Bethu • 1973 • Gumba Gumba, Gallo Record Company, Umsakazo Records Originally released on Gumba Gumba in 1973, single "Abaculi Bethu / Umculo Kawupheli" by the queens of mbaqanga, the South African style mixing Zulu traditional rhythms (marabi & kwela) with American jazz popular throughout the 60s and 70s, just got a well deserved remastered reissue through UK based label Umsakazo Records. Expect some infectious electric guitars, drums and vocals.

→ This week! Leaning to the funky house side of things with three amazing tracks, "Hummingbird" by Melbourne, Australia based Harvey Sutherland, "The Punk Automata", by Felipe Gordon from Bogota, Colombia - inspired by Armand Van Helden' 90's classic "The Funk Phenomena", and "Invinsible Summers" by French producer Hugo LX (actually a re-release from his 2016 LP "The Diary / The Sanctuary". Funky synth, groovy basslines, love it! Heading to Fortaleza, Brazil with some forró by Messias Holanda, and wrapping this up in Dominica with the great Ophélia's "Red Light Lady".
