MMS 009 MADLIB MEDICINE SHOW 9 CD

CHANNEL 85 PRESENTS NITTYVILLE (SEASON ONE)
Medicine Show No. 9
Madlib Medicine Show is a CD
music series consisting of experimental
hip-hop,
jazz
fusion,
electronic music, and DJ
mixes
spanning the genres.
Originally
launched as a one-per-month,
year-long series, Madlib Medicine
Show #9: Channel 85 presents
Nittyville is the first to break the
chronology.
Nittyville is also perhaps the most
traditional of the series, and we
make no bones about it: one MC, one
producer, and a rap record all about
stunts, blunts and hip-hop.
Frank is Detroit's
Frank Nitt,
protegee of the late J Dilla, formerly
of Frank-n-Dank. Madlib is the Beat
Konducta,
Quasimoto,
halfMadvillain & Jaylib, one of hip-hop's
most acclaimed producer's favorite
producers.
As for Channel 85, it's clearly off
most dials. This album’s concept TV
station runs one show only, the
comic-drama, reality-musical called
Nittyville, featuring Frank, MED, Oh
No, Madlib, and a supporting cast of
extras.
The album is 14 tracks including 10
rap tracks, 4 interludes, and runs 43
minutes.

“Godsville” brings together two Bronx Hip Hop legends; KRS-ONE and Showbiz.
Showcasing a production style that is currently featured on projects by Joe Budden,
Fabolous, Royce Da 5’9”, Lloyd Banks and others, Showbiz (producer of classic Hip Hop hits
such as “Soul Clap” and “Sound of the Police”) provides a classic yet fresh Bronx production
style while KRS-ONE takes it back to the essence of Hip Hop with lyrical contributions equal
to those on classic KRS-ONE albums. Recent album reviews are calling this project a
“modern classic” and “what Hip Hop has been missing.”

Scott Made Me Funky The 808 Is Coming (DJ Pooh Remix)
When Boogie Down Productions’ DJ/producer/hypeman
D-Nice went solo in 1990, the world wasn’t quite sure
what to expect. Taking over as KRS-One’s DJ after Scott
La Rock’s murder in 1987, D-Nice was a relative
unknown, despite having played a part in the group’s
classic albums By All Means Necessary and the
follow-up Edutainment. Setting out to make his name as
an independent artist, he delivered Call Me D-Nice, an
album that abandoned BDP’s militant political rhetoric in
favor of a fun, upbeat attitude that played to his
strengths: witty and boastful rhymes backed by funky,
sample-based beats. The album yielded a #1 hit with the
title track (along with “Crumbs On the Table”, which
made the Top 20) and proved that D-Nice could do much
more than just play the background. Out of print for over
20 years, D-Nice’s debut album Call Me D-Nice returns in
an expanded edition housed in a 6-panel digipak
featuring original and extended artwork with liner notes
for the bonus cuts written by Noah Uman. Extended
Audio includes 2 non-album cuts (produced by Scott La
Rock) as well as 12" mixes and instrumentals previously
unavailable on CD format. Also includes the 12"
singles "Glory" and "The TR 808 Is Coming." FORMAT: CD • CAT NO: GET 51271 • LABEL: Get On Down • STREET DATE: May 3rd

By the time he released Ital Dub in 1975, Augustus Pablo was already a household name in
Jamaica. He was fresh off the success of his
album Rebel Rock Reggae, and about to enter
the most prolific period of his career with legendary dub engineer King Tubby, this being their
first collaboration.
Recorded and mixed by Tubby at his studio, Ital
Dub, produced by Tommy Cowan and Warwick
Lyn, features Pablo lending his signature
melodica work to originals (“Eli’s Move,”
“Shake Up”) and covers from Bob Marley
(“Rebel Music,” “Natty Dread”), Peter Tosh
(“Funeral”) and Junior Byles (“Curly Locks,”
“Irie Feelings”). Overlooked at the time of its
initial release, Ital Dub has since been recognized as a worthy entry in Pablo’s stellar catalog
and “one of the most innovative albums of the
decade” (AllMusic.com).
After producing top quality reissues from Lee
“Scratch” Perry and King Tubby, Get On Down
is proud to present another Jamaican dub classic,
featuring a new digital audio transfer from the
original analog tapes.

A Classic Soul Album From A Very Underrated Singer!
Caroline’s Crawford’s career first began at the age of 15 on Motown Records where she recorded
loads of songs but released relatively few! She re-surfaced on Philadelphia International in the early
‘70s with one brilliant single and a completely unreleased album, which stayed in the can as a result
of disagreements with Gamble & Huff. An uncompromising singer, she teamed up with Hamilton
Bohannon and sang background on his hits “South African Man”, “Foot Stomping’ Man” and
“Summertime Groove”. Bohannon wrote, produced, arranged and directed the seven cuts. All Music
Guide’s Andrew Hamilton writes: “His patented

Fabrice, 17 years old, is a minet, or to say it better, a mod from one of the posh
neighborhoods, the 16th district in Paris and such “golden ghettoes” as Auteuil, Neuilly and
Passy. Fab’ likes to have his “ronron at the Drugstore”, as Dutronc sang it (an untranslatable
wordplay on ronron, “cat food”, and a minet - “a kitten” - purring). Fabrice attends Henri IV
prestigious high-school; his father, a businessman who made a fortune selling plastic flowers,
and his mother, a former model from Jacques Fath, are never home – a cosy home indeed!
With his Weston shoes, a slim-fitting suit by Renoma and his haircut modelled on those of
Anglo-Saxons musicians appearing on French Eps, Fabrice dreams of Carnaby Street and the
Sunset Strip. He is not alone: there’s his sister Stéphanie, 16, who wears a fringe, a mock
Courrèges dress, a pink Shetland pullover and white boots. Stéphanie reads Salut Les Copains
and Mademoiselle Age Tendre, which both fuel her passion for Françoise Hardy, Zouzou,
Twiggy and the Beatles.
The Groove Club is happy to present twenty-two records that we dug out as a tribute to
Fabrice’s kinky faves. We imagine those magic years 1966-71 (with two inclusions from 1976 &
77) to have been as you can hear it here — truly decadent pop-sike, as beautiful as the
cathedral of Evry... whether it's the arch-hippie Lolita taking us beyond the limits of pop music,
singing songs which make one dream of Anicée Alvina riding her bicycle in a red dress... or
whether it's sunny and stunning, or brooding and tinged with sadness. And we sense that,
paradoxical as it may seem, although we have imagined a parallel cosmos to the Grande
Heures of pop culture, we are not far from the truth. Popisme fantastique!

Returning to their huge old school sound, this new recording
celebrates 35 years of Azymuth as “arguably the most
successful band to come out of Brazil”. The signature swing
samba is heavier than ever with a string of unforgettable tunes:
from dance-floor fillers and lush jazz to hard, grooving samba
funk and warped psychedelia. Together the original three piece
Azymuth orchestra has made their strongest album since the
seminal recordings ‘Azimuth’ and ‘Light as a Feather’. Discover
why musicians as diverse as Friendly Fires and Madlib are
addicted to this innovative boogie monster.
Aurora
The follow-up to 2008’s ‘Butterfly’ draws on the sound that was so
synonymous with their work in the 1980s, mixing disco, jazz, funk,
psych, and samba with their super style, playing, and improvisation.
Together with producer Daniel Maunick and David Brinkworth
(Harmonic 313), Azymuth recorded Aurora in Rio de Janeiro over a
two week period. Opening the set is the cool, fresh title track
‘Aurora’, which features Alex’s daughter and fellow Far Out
recording artist Sabrina Malheiros on vocals alongside Marcio Lott.
‘In My Treehouse’ is an extremely personal track written by
Bertrami, which is influenced by his oak tree and dreams that recall
his childhood playing in a tree house in his mother’s hometown. ‘Isso
É Partido Alto’ encapsulates the sound of Azymuth, the focus on
their signature groove, partido alto (one of the oldest traditional
samba rhythms). ‘Diz No Pé’ is a samba monster combining broken
drumming with syncopated samba instrumentation, written by Ivan
Conti. ‘Meu Mengô’ is inspired by Alex Malheiros’ football team –
Flamengo – another passion shared with his Azymuth band-mates.
The Original Cult Trio
Pianist, songwriter, and band leader Jose Roberto Bertrami is
recognised as one of the legends of Brazilian music, remaining one
of its most influential keyboardists. He is responsible for the intensity
and maverick approach of Azymuth. Ivan Conti is Azymuth’s
drummer and percussionist. Known as Mamao, he is a spontaneous
and incredibly energetic drummer, and the real hardcore Carioca of
the trio. He has collaborated on a number of major projects in recent
years including 2008’s Jackson Conti ‘Sujinho’ album with Madlib.
On bass is Alex Malheiros, who learnt his trade playing with the
master of Brazilian swing, Ed Lincoln. Alex is respected in Brazil as
one of the original groove masters. The threesome is responsible for
twenty five studio albums from 1975 crate-digger favourite debut
‘Azimuth’ (Far Out re-issued in 2007); to 1979’s ‘Light as a Feather
‘(which spawned ‘Jazz Carnival’); and ‘80s classics including
‘Telecommunication’. One of the biggest jazz funk tunes of all time,
‘Jazz Carnival’, spent eight weeks in the UK Top 20 in 1980 and
was a Number 1 hit around the world in the dance charts.
One of very few successful bands to have kept the original line-up, in
their sixth decade the cult trio continue to tour the globe wowing
audiences at the finest venues and festivals. Azymuth’s previous
seven recordings for Far Out have been both critically acclaimed by
the press and spun heavily by global DJs. With Aurora their finest
work yet for the label, the samba legends swinging ‘samba doido’
(crazy samba) is primed to win over another generation of fans.
You’re in the hands of masters.

In 2009 a close-knit collective of London-based musicians - Jesse Hackett (keys),
Louis Hackett (bass), Sam Lewis (guitar), Chris Morphitis (bouzouki/guitar) and Tom
Skinner (drums) - first arrived in Nairobi. They were brought to Kenya's capital in
order to collaborate with local musicians as part of a project established by an
organization called Art of Protest which aims to promote local Kenyan musicians and
rappers. Art of Protest introduced the London faction to Joseph Nyamungu, a
phenomenal player/teacher of the nyatiti (an 8-string lyre) whose scope of knowledge
of the traditional music of the Luo tribe is unparalleled. The sessions with Joseph and
Charles Owoko, a drummer specializing in traditional Luo rhythms developed into
something unique, fresh and full of verve - a Nairobi meets London sound clash.

The five London-based musicians, who have been friends since their school days,
draw on a broad spectrum of African influences, from Fela Kuti and Tony Allen to the
likes of Thomas Mapfumo and Oumou Sangare. “What I heard when I first played
Owiny Sigoma Band on the radio was a phat, wayward dance record with African
leanings and it just felt completely right,” explains Gilles Peterson.
On reconvening with Joseph and Charles on a second trip to Nairobi in May 2010,
the group had now grown to a 10-piece big band, with Joseph inviting many other
musicians to join the proceedings. A two-day session at the Kenya National Theatre
then culminated in the forthcoming self-titled album – a collection of gloriously loose
Afro grooves symbolic of the true culture clash between the Luo and London. The
founder of Gorillaz and Afrika Express, Damon Albarn, even gives the project his
personal blessing, popping up on organ duties on the sprightly ‘Odera Lwar’ and
‘Margaret Okudo (Dub)’.

In 2009 a close-knit London-based collective of musicians made up of
Jesse Hackett (keys), Louis Hackett (bass), Sam Lewis (guitar), Chris

Kenya to collaborate with local musicians in Nairobi. There they met
Joseph Nyamungu – a phenomenal nyatiti player/teacher and

These sessions concluded with time in a downtown Nairobi studio
where the sound developed into something unique, fresh and full of
verve. The band’s forthcoming self-titled album – a collection of
gloriously loose Afro grooves symbolic of the true culture clash
between the Luo and London.
With spins spanning the BBC Radio 1 specialists plus heavy support from

Since 1993, Soul Patrol have established
themselves as an undisputed reference when
it comes to ”Funky-Soul“ music. Almost a
trademark. Soul Patrol made its name providing
compilations of obscure tracks originally
released on 7“ inches. Soul Patrol pays tribute to
some artists who hardly made their living with
their music… although they would have
deserved it ! Today, Soul Patrol strikes stronger
than strong with 10 rare tracks from the 60’s &
70’s. Like the previous compilations, there are
3’54
2’33
some gems to discover, some surprises and some
“ear-openers “, such as Dynamic Corvettes
“Keep off the grass“ or the ultra efficient “Close
your eyes“ by The Capprells and also “ Alex
Twister“ by Joe Cotto y su Orquesta...
Welcome into the Black Power sound, when soul
music reflected political violence and misery,
where dignity and freedom are above all…
This record is a true gem and won’t quit your
desks. For the most curious listeners !

Following their “Well Heeled Sampler” (SPEC006) REVERSO 68
drops their mix cd.
"REVERSO 68 is the studio based project of producer/djs Pete Herbert and Phil
Mison. The two met many moons ago whilst Phil was a resident at the Cafe Del
Mar in Ibiza and bought records from Pete who was running record shops in
Soho, London at the time, just before he opened the infamous Atlas Records vinyl
emporium. As well as djing extensively around the globe for the last decade and
more recently working together ..(the duo have also recorded an album as
Frontera for Music for Dreams out in Spring 2006).... they have also both
recorded and released their own projects, Phil as Cantoma with Music For
Dreams, and Pete as Bakazou and as part of LSB and Optimus for Eskimo
Recordings and their offshoot Suicide and as Cuica for Ubiquity
Records,California. Over the last few years Reverso 68 have released 'Piece
Together' on Pete's label Specialist Interests as well as various remixes including
reworks for Juan Maclean (DFA), Manhead (Relish), Bent (Ministry) and Stratus
(Klein) to name a few..(see Discography). The REVERSO 68 sound could be
descibed as a deep mix of Balearic disco and spaced out,melodic electronics
made with the dancefloor in mind but definately a listening pleasure for all
occasions.

First selection of early works by one of the most excellent
Italian female voices!
Stunning interpretations of timeless jazz classics like "I`ve Got You Under
My Skin", "Blues In The Night", "Night And Day" or "One For My Baby", all
songs from her sought after vinyl EPs "Jula In Jazz" and "Jula In Jazz 2"
(recorded 1958 and 1959) plus further rare tracks from the first half of the
1960s, accompanied by legendary ensembles like Quartetto Lelio Luttazzi,
Trio Franco Cerri or the orchestra of Giampiero Boneschi. Eleven carefully
remastered tracks, still considered a vocal myth today, on a new
compilation with unreleased photos from the collection of Jula plus new
liner notes.
Jula (pronounced "Yula") de Palma was born in Milan on April 21, 1931.
Her given name is Jolanda Maria de Palma but everybody called her Jula
and the nickname would also be her name as a singer. Despite her
immediate success as an actress, it is her passion for singing and
especially for jazz and for American songs that will lead Jula to another
branch of the entertainment world. By chance, one day in 1948, while
shopping for records with her mother and her sister, she meets an Italian
singer, Teddy Reno. He is also the owner of a Record Company, the CGD.
Jula's mother mentions to him her daughter's contralto voice, her passion
for jazz and for the French new wave of songs, and her admiration for Mo.
Lelio Luttazzi, a young and very talented pianist and conductor, under
contract with the CGD. Almost as a joke, Teddy makes an appointment for
Jula to audition with Lelio Luttazzi. The audition turns into a jam session
and immediately afterwards, Teddy Reno signs the young singer with CGD.
Ms.de Palma was the only Italian singer who was on the same level with
the great American and French entertainers of her time, singing the same
songs in the same languages, but never copying, always being an original.
Her modernization of the Italian song paved the way for a new generation
of Italian singers after her to be accepted internationally, and she is
recognized by many for this achievement. She is happy and grateful for the
spontaneous creation of a website about her by young and enthusiastic
people and she says "When I punch in "Jula de Palma" and I see my name
come up, thirty years after I stopped singing, on the most faraway websites
of the world, I am still surprised." She shouldn't be, because Jula de Palma
is still considered, today, a myth.

SORY BAMBA
In the 1960’s, during the First Republic of Mali modern orchestras were encouraged
and promoted by Modibo Keita’s government. Star ng in 1960, Bani Jazz became the
city and region’s main orchestra before the name changed to the Orchestre Régional
de Mop in the wake of Mali’s Second Republic in 1969.
At the end of 1970, the band published its first album under the name « Orchestre
Régional de Mop ». This record clearly helped to define Mop ’s vibrant cultural heritage under the aegis of bandleader Sory Bamba. Trumpet player, flu st, traveller and
songwriter, Bamba already had a strong musical experience when he took over the
orchestra in 1969.
Around 1976, the Mop orchestra became the Kanaga de Mop , simply known to
Kanaga by the listeners of Radio Mali. It was named a er the large dogon ceremony’s
mask. Under this new and slightly « more commercial » monicker, the band also performed at private func ons and for various regional patrons.
July of 1976, a er months of intense musical and cultural research, in Mali’s capitale,
the orchestra visited the Radio Mali recording studio in order to document its new
musical evolu on. Six of these songs were featured on the only album of Kanaga de
Mop released in 1977 courtesy of Mali Kunkan, an ad hoc label ar culated around
the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Art and Culture.

On side one, the infec ous Kulukutu and its mesmerizing vocal introduc on focuses
on the celebra on and the joys of marriage between young men and young girls. N’do
N’do digs deeper into the Dogon culture as it displays the masked dances and processions performed by kids on ramadam nights. The call and response adds up to the
strong and fierce excitement one can sense within the recording studio. Closing side
one, with its introduc ve bell gimmick, Sare Mabo is dedicated to the cloth weavers.
Bamba plays the tradi onal fula flute at the end of that track, giving it a rural edge
while the sturdy horns display their powers
Side two opens up with one of Bamba’s most amazing composi ons, Kanaga, an homage to the Dogon mask and to the dancers who wear it during ritual ceremonies.
The brass sec on is excep onal all throughout the record with tremendous riffs on
that track. Electric guitar and organs swirl effortlessly around the melodies on songs
like Gambari (« green grass »), a griot-like song praising a powerful groom. Sory Bamba is another praise song which extols the virtues of its famous band leader. Stuck
into the past but looking towards the future with its incredible mix of tradi onal and
modern instruments, the Kanaga instantly reaches the higher level of African music
classicism.
