You’ve been reading about the singles here on MB since last September (five of them no less!) covering a range of genres and sub-genres but this month it’s Sam Redmore’s debut long player, Universal Vibrations which has finally dropped.

SAM REDMORE: Universal Vibrations LP
SAM REDMORE (feat. LUMI): Just Can’t Wait
He’s done the funk (On The One with Haggis horns), soul jazz (Party with Lumi), a cumbia/reggae cross (with Andrea Brown covering SOS Band’s Just Be Good To Me) and more cumbia-isms on Georgia Moroder cover Tears so whither next for Sam Redmore?

The track opens with just its 90bpm drum break followed by claps, then bass, trumpet, Rhodes, vibraphone and assorted other layers joining in. Once things achieve soul jazz lift-off, in comes Lumi admonishing someone for

SAM REDMORE: On The One (Vinyl 7″)
New Jalapeno signing Sam Redmore is all On The One on his debut 45 with Renegade Brass Band and emcee/ poet Mr Auden Allen. Is this a celebration of the rhythmic structure of the funk or a call for racial unity? Turns out it’s both – or maybe we should say ‘all one’ to those concerned. Expect frantic rolling drum breaks, Latin percussive and piano stylings and more brass than
