Space Ranger is back on patrol. Moving house and a peaktime affair plus a couple of remixes coming from Moscow and Barcelona. This is a hell of a 12”!
Another set of remixes (the last one) off of their stunning debut album “What About The Magnetic Fields?” This time it’s Moscovians Lipelis & Simple Symmetry from the super hip Pompeya who team up for an El DeBarge-style cosmic funk-pop affair, while Barcelona resident Barbena takes things the deep-house way. You also get the original and house monster “Music” in the package. It doesn’t get much better than this.
The Right Ons will play at Primavera Sound Festival 2012!
For the first time in Madrid, the Banda Achilifunk & Ensemble Taller de Musics will play live in Madrid with the presentation of their album Gitano Real (Lovemonk, 2011). The show will take place on February 9 at 22:00 at Sala Galileo Galilei, as part of Girando Por Salas del Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música.
They’re a quartet of top-line rumberos (Sam Mosketón, Muchacho, Jack Tarradellas and Rambo), and masters of funk (Lalo López and Paco Mantecao of the Fundación Tony Manero) and jazz who have come together to play classic funk and Catalán rumba tracks. This current line-up brings a new character, seasoned with a metal section from the Original Jazz Orquestra Taller de Músics. Its a project that, under the musical direction of Paco Mantecao, achieves a special sound that we call “big band rumba funk”.
Gitano Real is the culmination of the Achilifunk trilogy which began in 2007 with the acclaimed album/book compilation thought up by Txarly Brown, the most knowledgeable payo in all things rumba and a driving force in the rumba resurgence that is currently taking Barcelona by storm.

Sietepulgadas (seven-inch) is a collective bringing together some fo the best musicians for the ever-growing Spanish soul/funk scene. When you mix them up, you get combos that have brought us material all with a distinct flavor, but that are always on the good side of funk. This disc is a compilation of their first five references by five different groups (Límite 45, The Beignets, Octopus, Shulte and The Gigoletto Brass Band) with two tracks by each.
The two tracks by Límite 45 could be the soundtrack of a police thriller set in San Francisco in the 70s. Persecution funk, and mysterious corners reminiscent Shifrin and the best soundtracks of the genre. And of course, the priceless flute is courtesy of Chip Wickham.
The Beignets have recorded two great tracks full of groove, headed by the voice and guitar of Edu Bighands. J.K. Toole’s New Orleans vision of is rich like the music of Dr. John, Snooks Eaglin and The Meters. Just like this city’s typical dessert, the Beignet, it’s solid and strong, but at the same time subtle and delicate.
Formed by musicans from bands like Speak Low, Mamafunko and Vetusta Morla, Octopus goes from a neighborhood soundtrack sound to the explosive mix of latin-funk-jazz. They sound like Blaxploitation, Ennio Morricone, and Bernard Hermann, among thers. Two tracks that go straight to the groovadélica backbone to make your feet move.
Shulte, the more soulful side of Sietepulgadas, is reminiscente of soul classics like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Susan Tedeschi, but with a Folk aftertaste, like Terry Callier. This is the feminine touch of the album, featuring María Sánchez on vocals and Wurlizter.
Courtesy of Muchachito Bombo Infierno, we present their spectacular brass section: The Gigoletto Brass Band, who presents a single that sounds like Africa and the Carribean from the most urbano of Black music. One one side, there’s a Boogaloo with with the classic base: piano, bass, conga and timbale accompanied by a compact trumpet section, and on the other side, a foray into wild Africa with urban afrobeat.

Sietepulgadas is a music production company formed by Josué García, Jose “Funko”, Victor Frutos and Martín García. Its main activity is writing and producing music for audiovisual projects and production for artists.
The Right Ons first video from their third album Get Out. Directed by Pau Valiente and Miguel Gómez Catalán.

The Right Ons new album, Get Out, will be in shops on November 7. Here’s the tracklist:
The cover is a photo by Chus Antón: “We always like covers that didn’t go unnoticed, those that no one is indifferent to, that provoke a reaction from the public. This ability to provoke, like with Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, “Amorica” by the Black Crowes and “Rage Agaianst the Machine” by RATM, was lost some time ago. When we saw Chus’ photo, we liked it and we saw it clearly,” explains Utah, the bassist of the group and the one responsible for the design.
The Right Ons will present their new album live on Saturday, January 14, 2012 in Madrid in Sala Sol. If you can’t wait till then, you’ll have another oppportunity to see them in an exclusive concert put on by Radio 3’s Hoy Empieza Todo on Tuesday, October 25.
