This debut release from Marc Dolley and Denise Fadigati very much feels like a jump into the future, although ruggedly taking its cues from the past. Specifically the clash of sounds which ignited the turn of the 1970’s with those that began the eighties, as the fusion of Punk and Funk delivered a raft of

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Noha. Let’s start with your stunning release for Oscillat. Can you tell us about how your relationship with label happened? Well, everything started one year ago, with me meeting up with Sam (S.A.M.) when I moved back to Berlin. I went to hear him play as we already chatted and exchanged

Brian Eno is a bit like God. Always present playing somewhere in the distance. Echoing into collective consciousness now and again. Maybe that’s why he has had the Asteroid 81948 named after him: Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, or Eno for short. Besides, he is undoubtedly one of the

Frank Beckers alias delivers music that should have you jumping in the aisles as its startling succession of fiery drums and hot-wired electricity does pure damage to the senses. The title track unfolds with layers of dangerous keys alongside a probing urgency that resolves somewhat upon the arrival of tripped out vocal, but not before

I guess the first thing that strikes you about Patrice Rushen, apart from the beautiful quality of her voice, is the sheer range and depth of music she marries together into a distinctive style. This compilation of gems from the Elektra era begins with the Jazz-Funk sunshine of Music Of The Earth and continues via

It’s perhaps down to the breezy, loose intensity of Lullaby (Dub) which makes it so tempting. Though the thrills seeping from the low-slung rhythm section as it winds down into a delicious combination of mood, atmosphere plus a bit of bump and grind are pure magic. This combines a sense of ambience defining a deeper
