Stone cold murder. Archetypal, slow-mo, eastern-sounds post-ska from Jackie Mittoo, Dizzy Moore, Roland Alphonso and co, around 1965.

The Latin Jazz classic from 1969, huge on the Dingwalls scene back in the day for the sizzling dancer Tema De Alma Latina.

Reviewing Ellis Taylor’s Kansas City imprint — from prime Marva Whitney all the way through to Sharon Revoal’s ace, slinky, early-eighties disco-funk.

‘Venomous Tex-Mex R&B and early rock n’roll from San Antonio’s West Side scene. From 1961-67, Bexar county kingmaker Abe Epstein cut every teen combo to grace the Patio Andaluz stage, launching the careers of Doug Sahm, The Royal Jesters, Sonny Ace, The Dreamliners, and hundreds more throughout the decade.’

‘Psychedelia, Afro-Roots & Champeta In 1980s Barranquilla.’

Invoking The Delfonics’ Do You Remember, and flipping its melody the other way around. Recorded at the Damon Studios in Kansas City (owned by Victor Damon, inventor of the spring reverb).

Notorious, seminal electropunk from 1981 — Beate Bartel from Einstürzende Neubauten and Chrislo ‘DAF’ Haas, with vocalist Krishna Goineau — which coursed into Chicago house and Detroit techno. Undiminished; still vital.

The flautist with Nana Vasconceles, Dom Salvador, Portinho, Cecil McBee and co in 1980. Spiritual jazz with strong Brazilian flavours. Lovely stuff.
