Many people thought the recording was the original sample and probably still do to this day when it is played. This is evidenced by how all hell broke loose when they went on to cover 50 Cent’s hit “PIMP” taking the DJ and vinyl collecting communities by storm. Looking back on these two sides you can tell they were just getting their chops up for what was to come next. Their first two recordings were covers of The Meters “Look A-Py-Py” & “Ease Back” which they self released on a 45. The outcome is an updated take on a classic format, a truly unique sound. Upon returning home to Germany, Bjorn set out to blend the Tropical Steel into his already sharply honed Funk, Soul, and Hip Hop sensibilities. After he became proficient on the pans Bjorn had his own instrument built from a used oil barrel by legendary pan man Louis C. His initial intrigue with local steel pan music culture led him to learning the instrument both through help of local players and on his own. Long time multi instrumentalist and band leader Bjorn Wagner spent a few months in Trinidad & Tobago where he became fascinated with Steel Drums. Shrouded in mystery, hailing from Hamburg, Germany, Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band (BRSB) releases their long awaited debut “55” on Brooklyn’s own Big Crown Records.

If he ever sounded awkwardly patched in on previous recordings, Bradley now seems to command ownership of his songs like never before. Bradley’s underdog narrative has remained as genuinely endearing as it has perpetually marketable, and Changes, his third album, feels like his straightforward best to date, the result of an improved dynamic between the singer and his band. It’s easy to root for Charles Bradley, the 67-year-old soul singer who has spent the last few years enjoying a breakout career on Daptone Records.

Originally released in 1982, 'Konk Party' was Konk's calling card and first hit and represented their multicultural, no wave, hip-hop/disco hybrid perfectly, the opening sax riff itself a giving sly nod to Wild Sugar's breakbeat classic 'Bring It Here' that the Beastie Boys would later sample. First up is an edit of a track that embodies the spirit of early '80s downtown NYC. K (Danny Krivit) transports us to the golden era of David Mancuso 's New York Loft with two disparate but equally heavyweight classics from the Mancuso oeuvre mastered and cut loud, deep, and clear for club play.
