As Pete Isaac from Jelly Jazz said, “Makala does tasty club rocking tunes that fuse old school rumba, salsa, reggae, swing and mambo with breakbeats and chugging 4 to tha floor beats”.
Remix action here from our friends and heroes Dusty and Dubben. Both delivering amazing takes on the originals. Watch out for Makala’s new album, coming soon!!
Background info:
Makala, or Mikel Unzurrungaza Schmitz as his mother calls him, surfer dude, music freak and all round good guy, hails from the picturesque Basque town of Zarautz. Having entered the music scene in the nineties as part of the Novophonic posse (with Javi P3z and Txarly Brown), he quickly established himself as a versatile musician, producer, DJ and remixer – playing all over Spain and Europe with Javi P3z Orchestra, Makala Banda, Makala Sound System or Funkel Sound System. Apart from that, he hosts his own radio programme Boom Shaka Laka on the Basque station E-Gaztea (EITB).
The man who brought you the fabulous “Partió la Tabla” and “Cartoon Tune” last year (LMNKV35) is back with a double whammy of deliciously swinging electrified Latin ska-hop boogaloo – four sides, four tracks in a beautiful cardboard package designed by the slightly fabulous Txarly Brown (of Achilifunk fame). Luscious!

El hombre que el año pasado nos dio el fabuloso 7” “Partió la Tabla” / “Cartoon Tune” (LMNKV35) vuelve con una doble sorpresa – dos vinilos en formato 7” con cuatro temazos en el más puro estilo makaleño: bugalú, ska, breakbeats, ritmos afro-cubanos y mucho buen rollo. Y todo esto en una fantástica portada diseñada por el fabuloso Txarly Brown (Achilifunk). Sabroso!
Más info:
Makala, o Mikel Unzurrungaza Schmitz, como le llama su mamá, surfero, freak de la música y buen tipo, es del pintoresco pueblo de Zarautz en Euskadi. Entró en la escena musical en los noventa formando parte de la pandilla de Novophonic (con Javi P3z y Txarly Brown). Rápidamente se estableció como músico versátil, productor, dj y remezclador, tocando y pinchando por toda España y Europa con Javi P3z Orchestra, Makala Banda, Makala Sound System, Funkel Sound System o Global Funk. Aparte de eso tiene su propio programa de radio, Boom Shaka Laka en la emisora E-Gaztea (EITB).
Lovemonk is a small record label from the Malasaña borough of Madrid. It may sound like the biggest cliché in the history of popular music, but there is not one particular label that can be used to describe Lovemonk’s sound. Indeed, many different labels can be and have been used, and all of them are valid at some point. If there is one word that sums it all up, it’s – hold tight, another cliché alert! – “eclectic”. That, and “sunny”.
But what better way to explain than to release a label compilation that says it all? Enter “Los Discos Buenos Suenan Mejor” (“Good Records Sound Better”), a CD that travels many roads – progressive disco-rock by the ever so surprising The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Latin boogie by the Grammy-winning Los Amigos Invisibles, folkie Russian Red singing to the dancefloor with Nelue, a bomb track previously unreleased on CD by The Right Ons, Makala doing ragtime-hop, a boogaloo by The Gigoletto Brass Band, the Flaming Groovies classic “Shake Some Action” soulified by Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents, New Orleans grooves by Speak Low, carioca-funk by Open Foraina, groovy folk by Bing Ji Ling, deep funk by Chip Wickham and of course the label’s classics such as Gecko Turner, Pajaro Sunrise and Martín Buscaglia, the latter with a preview of his upcoming album!
And all this comes in a marvellous digi-pack with beautiful artwork by Polish designer Animiwiesasz.
Enjoy the ride!
