"We are more than proud to manage a release of this record in Europe. One of our brazilian musical heroes. One of the kings of tropical groove from all eras. Really limited edition for Europe in a diferent sleeve. Killer record and essencial.
It is known that good albums generate good shows, but in the case of this album, we can do the opposite. “Donato Elétrico” began to take shape following a show performed by the artist in 2014, at Sesc Pinheiros (São Paulo, Brazil). On that occasion, the musician released the emblematic album “Quem é Quem” on stage, after a delay of more than 40 years.
For this late release, Donato invited young musicians from São Paulo, with whom he had already been working on the idea of a new project, and who helped him recreate the original atmosphere of “Quem é Quem”, full of grooves, whose essence was in the João's electric piano.
After the show, it was sure that this meeting could yield much more. The result can be heard in “Donato Elétrico”, a collection of themes that refer to a sound that Donato had left behind in his work from the 70s." - Groovie Records

Get down with one of the greatest groups of Latin Soul brothers from The 70's as Ace Records releases a vinyl retrospective containing the Pazants’ best recordings. "Skunk Juice: Dirty Funk From The Big Apple " includes tracks from a live album recorded at the Museum Of Modern Art in 1970 and an excellent previously unissued version of ‘Hi Heel Sneakers’.

Get down to the upbeat hip shakin' Funk of 1970's Mexico on this special set by TNT Discos who is an avid Mexican Funk 45 collector. This mix features all the energy and dusty break-beat goodness you would love in hearing obscure Funk on 45 but done with a Latin flair as Mexico draws inspiration from America's knack for getting down.
The mind behind edgy and dark soundtrack Funk projects such as "The Golden Age of Danish Pornography" Vol. 1 & 2 and "Registrazioni al Buio" flips the script to deliver a groovy summer love vibe with Latin vocalist Joe Bataan on "Soultiger". As a multi-instrumentalist, composer and a true funk addict, Alex Puddu is an expert on atmosphere and mood in creating cinematic funk music.
Journey with this duo on a hot July through New York as Puddu captures the essence of inner-city escapism in music which Bataan is known for. "Soultiger" excites like the anticipation of going to a summer block party in the city with an upbeat fusion of thumping Latin-influenced rhythm and 70's soundtrack-style Funk, driven by an overall cheerful approach on arrangement.
