3. Przasnik - 7" (FMAP 003)
(limited edition)
Side A - Get Bambaataa!
Side B - Swingalong
Date of release: 30th January 2009
“Get Bambaataa!” is based on Afrika Bambaataa’s vocals from 1990 hit “Get Up And Dance”. We have kept the rhythm aesthetics of the 90’s era, while the melodic line is nothing but a piece of energetic jazz-funk. The tune is built mainly on synthesizer sounds and various sample banks, which is unusual for us, as we do a lot of crate digging and sampling old vinyls while producing our stuff. The track is done without needless clutching up. Hedonistic and unpretentious banger.
The foundation of „Swingalong” is a groovy sample from some old, unidentified, soviet 7” vinyl with blurred label. “Jazz Ensamble Lenigrada” is the only thing we have managed to decode. The tune is a swinging banger, based on brokenbeat rhythm with a latin element. It is crafty cut, club oriented and reinterpreted by Wrocław-based duo “Prześnik”. Pure dancefloor-jazz bomb!
4. ZAMALI - 7" (FMAP 004)
(limited edition)
Side A - I don't know why you put your hands in the air

Feel the bass come down on you !
B.This rework of "I can't Get next To You" by The Temptations is blended with Aretha Franklin "Chains" acapella & some hip hop elements that will rock the funky crowd wherever you play it !
5. Przasnik - 7" (FMAP 005)
(limited edition)
Side A - Vessel Mariners
Side B - Louisiana Boppin feat. DJ Krime
Date of release: June 2009
„Vessel Marriners”, on the other hand, is a strory of singing Hungarian sailors from the times when the word “jazz” was already prohibited behind the Iron Curtain. We try to entangle here a bit, to stir up and to change the direction of the swinging boat. Then we set sails for open waters and enrich this peculiar choir (containing drunken deck head, mate and boatswain) with spirited afro-beat. We add some Rhodes with latin piano to this, and since then the melody won’t stop, even if our boat was swallowed by a whale.
In the form of our „Louisiana Boppin” tune we’d like to present you variations on archaic dance music. The music from adolescent times of phonography, when pop music was in amusement service, not business. Thus, the tune is meant to evoke a spirit either of smoky pubs in French Quarter of black New Orleans and libertine Louisiana or the great wave of Swing from the Thirties. Our sampling sources are, among others, Gene Krupa, Kenny Clarke & His 52nd Street Boys, Modern Jazz Quartet, or even Nat “King” Cole. Each of them plays brilliantly to the accompaniment of Przasnik’s drums, with some additional hip-hop breaks, supported by Mr. Krime with his funky piano and tight cuts.
6. Sonar Soul - 7" (FMAP 006)
(limited edition)
Side A - "Feelosophy" feat. The Square Black Frames
Side B - "Hide your face" feat. Nuno & Square Blaq
Date of release: October 2009
On this 7 inch vinyl (limited edition 300 copies - as usual) you can hear musicians from Poland and the United States. The music was made by Polish producer Lukasz Stachurko. It is a fusion of warm lo-fi sound with a bit of cold electronic. The whole is based on loops and live recorded acoustic instruments (flute, rhodes etc.). On the mic you can hear Sir Square Blaq & Kiara from Chicago and Nuno from Warsaw.
Łukasz Stachurko (MPC, scratch)
Artur Bogusławski (rhodes, synth)
Marcin Świderski (flute).

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well Mukatsuku Records 4/5 An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
