after mukatsuku records summer hammond organ screamer from billy hawks (mukat 052) the label goes deep on an international funk tip. few years ago label manager nik played in france and the promoter pulled out a biosis now 45 that he never knew existed up till then and was generally thought to be a long album track only. an extensive search revealed nothing online including popsike/discogs/ebay except a tropical seller who d just bought a huge caribbean collection with the record included saying he d never seen it before either and he was keeping itâ&#128,¦failing to secure a copy themselves the label licensed it instead and created their own 45 edit which retains all the funk & soul of the elongated album version into a 7 inch friendly format. on the flipside and 1973 tumba safari from afro train get s a funky afrobeat re touch for peak time club play that would save you several hundred pounds on an original if you could actually find a copy !

new first time on a 45 series from mukatsuku which will focus on tracks which never made it to a 7 inch single in their own right. first up the three pieces with a sublime track taken from the 1975 fantasy album “vibes of truth”. on the flipside also from 1975 johnny hammond delivers the much sampled club favourite “tell me what to do” from the legendary “gears” album from milestone which also gave us “shifting gears”, “los conquistadores chocolates” & “can’t we smile”. two classics on a dinked friendly format. limited pressing. don’t sleep!

as part of our 10 years anniversary mukatsuku is proud to release the holy grail instrumental long version co produced by tommy stewart of “brotherson” from atlanta usa resident ojeda penn.
there were two versions of the album “happiness” on the ife independent label. they looked almost identical but the first version contained the now rarer elongated jazz fused instrumental version of “brotherson” and then a few months later they recut the album with a much shorter version adding strings and vocals.
the former version is now being sold up to £500 so this 12” is a welcome release to the reissue market. according to mr penn this is the first time either version has been reissued officially and mukatsuku after many years of discussion is glad to finally be in a position to finally put out both versions on one phat 12”.

easing you into full on summer vibes mukatsuku unleash the tropical monster of use your body from mavis john with a dancefloor friendly re arrangement edit from label boss nik weston. on the flipside the track riviera jam makes a fitting b side and has been taken from the long deleted archway riviera tropical jam ep 12 inch that first surfaced on the label in spring 2013. steel pan loveliness and a perfect set starter for your beach set!
