Shortly before the demise of Daptone's predecessor, Desco Records, at the close of the twentieth century, a 10" test pressing was cut from a session with Gospel-Soul belter Naomi Shelton (then appearing under her married name, Naomi Davis). It featured Cliff Driver on organ backed by the rhythm section of Desco's house band, The Soul Providers, and was considered by many in the family to contain the two heaviest sides they'd ever cut. Though a handful of these tests survive, traded or auctioned off by Desco insiders and tucked into the boxes of a few lucky collectors, the label's doors had shut before the pressing orders could be sent to the plant and the record never dropped. Now, ten years later, on the heels of Naomi's first full-length LP, "What Have You Done, My Brother?" (DAP 016), Wind Your Clock, the coveted lost ark of every Desco fanatic, has been pressed to 7” and is slated to be issued to the public for the first time. Both sides are packed HEAVY with soul and promise to fill every nook and cranny of the whole they left in our hearts and record boxes when they disappeared and were left for lost a decade ago.

Scotland's Starla Records return with their second 45 featuring another funk/soul split single from the label's house band The DT6. This time the A-side comes in the form of "(Theme From) The Baden Persuader" an Eastern sounding funk track with echoes of the exotic 60s spy soundtracks of Lalo Schifrin and Turkish Psych. On the flipside is "Takes" which features the label's own Marco on vocals, though this time the duties are shared with rising Scottish vocalist Emili Sandé. Gaining the support of fans and critics alike for her solo acoustic (modern) R&B, Emili has taken the opportunity to work with the DT6 on the classic Northern/Modern Soul sound. Featuring string and brass sections and group backing vocals, "Takes" is the largest recording yet undertaken by Starla. In contrast "(Theme From) The Baden Persuader", in common with the majority of The DT6's unaccompanied work, comes from organic jam sessions, where the band experiment with sounds, all the while letting the funk flow. Indeed the organ solo on "Baden Persuader" came about as an accident as it was the warm-up for the band with the newly-installed Starla Hammond on the band's first run through on tape.

The Killer Meters are back! After 3 years without any releases the band drop a "Killer" double 7" on Breakin Bread. Their new rock edge is to the fore of the first track on the single. "Dance Move Shake" is, as the title suggests, an invitation to shake your ass. Giving a nod to their roots there is a killer drum break two thirds of the way through the track. Ideal for daytime radio and the nightclubs, this track has it all. The second track "Black Mountain" is much more of a traditional Killer Meters track bound to keep the funk fans happy. For added value the double 7" pack contains both vocal versions and instrumentals and is beautifully packaged in a full colour sleeve with illustrations from the wonderful Brighton based artist, Sri, who has painted regularly at local night, Sketch City!

Taking funk into a new era. An incredible double header from possibly the best funk band in the UK. Moving away from doing classic funk covers the Killer Meters have their own sound which whilst rooted in funk gives more than a passing nod to sixties, soul, rock and psychedelia. This is a double 45 package with incredible psyche artwork and the first seven is a funk/rock dancefloor filler with the incredible Karime Kenda telling us about a night out. Freak out is a beats led rework. For us its all about the second seven where Stomp! takes us back to sixties soul in a style reminiscent of Kings Go Forth and other new funk bands proving its not all about the JB's or Meters funk. This is soul of the highest order and will rock any dancefloor, and its still got drum breaks! In fact, if you're into breaks you need this for Stompapella alone, its a psyche beats rework of the track with breakbeats galore! Incredible stuff taking funk forward!

Glasgow's Starla Records celebrate their debut release with a 45 from the label's house-band The DT6. This first release is a storming Hammond-led slice of funk entitled "Don't Doubt Me". Recorded in Glasgow with the cream of Scotland's new generation of funk and jazz musicians, we hope it sets the tone for the label with a benchmark of quality and originality. The B-side is another DT6 track with the addition of vocals from Marco entitled "Open My Eyes", a sweet and more laid-back track with a whole lot of soul.

A wicked cover of this break classic -- one that's almost funkier than the original! The drums are nice and raw at the start -- as is the piano that comes into the groove too -- and as the cut rolls along, it's sewn together by some beautiful wah wah guitar lines! And as a bonus, the flipside features the solo drum mix too!
