    Kevin Fingier Collective - Comin’ Home Baby - Acid Jazz

    Kevin Fingier returns with a brand new 7” single on his own Acid Jazz imprint Fingier Records. Known for his explosive Latin sound and classic-style production, Kevin has released a string of sell-out soul 45s, a world music vinyl series, and an album and LP respectively.

    Here Kevin returns to his Jamaican-influenced roots. He formerly led Acid Jazz-signed reggae band Los Aggrotones and has produced tracks for reggae legends Derick Harriott, Pat Kelly and The Cimarons. Now for the first time this distinct flavour hits wax on the Fingier label.

    This release presents a unique, driving Ska-tinged take on Mod/R&B classic ‘Comin’ Home Baby’, paired with a Fingier original, the deeply authentic Trojan-styled ‘Leaving Samsara’ on a limited edition 7” vinyl single.

    Presented in the Fingier Records graphic housebag, the perfect addition to the summer DJ box.

    Millie Jackson - We Got To Hit It Off (Dimitri From Paris Liberated Woman Edit) - Acid Jazz

    In 2025 Acid Jazz announced the Spring Revisited project, in collaboration with Ace Records, exploring the musical legacy of the iconic New York label Spring Records, with a series of new mixes and limited edition vinyl releases.

    After the rapid sell-out of the first release – 12” mixes of Millie Jackson’s iconic ‘We Got To Hit It Off’ from Dimitri From Paris and Opolopo respectively – they are introducing a special 7” to the series. This release is fronted by Dimitri’s ‘Liberated Woman Edit’ of the track – a vinyl exclusive, dance-floor and flight-ready for DJ sets this summer. It is backed by a special edit of Dave Lee’s inspired disco mix of The Joneses ‘Love Contest’.

    It is presented in a beautiful, aged reproduction of the classic Spring house-bag, looking as if it were hand-delivered to you from 1979. Limited to 500 copies and out 11 July, pre-order

    Just been listening to a build up of the Fifa World Club Cup competition starting 15 June

    BBC Sport
    No image preview

    FIFA Club World Cup - Scores & Fixtures - Football - BBC...

    FIFA Club World Cup scores, results and fixtures on BBC Sport, including live football scores

    starts Sunday, any one any thoughts on how it will all go?

    been following results more than watching the matches

    some shocks, some smile bringing

    not a great tournament so far for betting, for me anyway

    Maybe better luck this round...

    Quarterfinal matches

    Fluminense (Brazil) vs. Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia)

    Palmeiras (Brazil) vs. Chelsea (England)

    Paris Saint-Germain (France) vs. Bayern Munich (Germany)

    Real Madrid (Spain) vs. Borussia Dortmund (Germany)

    ok, that's the last major outstanding task now completed, the rebuild of the events weekly map view which is now back up and running

    this should now herald a more solid period on here tech wise

    Info for anyone interested, everything on here, Soul Source had to be reset to a vanila state and then all our custom/bespoke features had to be rebuilt/re-coded and then re-applied whilst keeping the site up and running solid through out.

    All features (less the member map feature which has been sacked) are now back up and running, all should be improved and overall the site should now be in a much better place, thats performance and feature wise and also importantly security wise and overall I say we are in good shape for the next 5 or so years....

    thanks for letting us know Julian

    A brief intro...

    I was involved in the setting up of the nighters at the Central. I could also be seen working the door or cloakroom..also doing the memberships. I also used to work the italian espresso machine in the coffee bar at Hernies All-Nighters in Leeds (my apologies to anyone whoever bought one there!!). This was a very short-lived club which opened just after the Wheel was closed. was very popular with the all-nighter crowd, only to be raided itself. The Wheel was my first all-nighter, apart from the local Leeds Spinning Disc ones, the L'Ambassador in Bradford, followed by the Metro in Wakefield, Hernies & the Central in Leeds, the Torch, Va-Va, Casino and so on. In the early 90's I opened a used vinyl shop in Pudsey in Leeds, which was great fun but no profit. So then turned to record fairs, this lasted around 3-4 years. Musically, I have many varied loves..Walter Jackson, Oscar Toney Jnr, Geater Davis ... Away from Soul music, I love Miles Davis(Bitches Brew era), Blue Note/Prestige Jazz,  Jamaican r'n'b & ska  . The best live acts Ive seen are Marvin Gaye in Bradford!!, Oscar Toney at the Torch, Al Green at the Hardrock in Manchester on same bill as Oscar Toney & Margie Joseph!!! also Herbie Hancock at Leeds Uni  .. Favourite record.. The Coldest Days Of My Life-Walter Jackson..which took me 10 years to find on a 45 !!.Everyone said it wasn't rare, but only on the issue, not the promo..it was damn hard to find..   Promoting, along with Mike Eastwood , a monthly Saturday night Soul gig in Leeds. Featuring Soul without boundaries..no limits to what we will play, from Northern, Crossover & Modern to Funk, Ska, Mod Jazz, R&B etc.. ..come on down to the Cellar ...At Cellar 7  on Great George Street in Leeds..The first Saturday in every month..SEE THE GIG GUIDE FOR FULL DETAILS.

    A standout from the new Durand Jones and the Indications album 'Flowers'.

    This has an early 1970s uptempo Soul sound similar to Major Harris, The Artistocrats, The Originals etc. Sounds more full and powerful on the album than Youtube will represent.

    Darn it, just saw that Mike posted the same track earlier. Feel free to remove this duplicate post, I cannot see a delete option.

    Nah, no real need, plus it deserves double expoure,

    Echo Valley Film on Apple Tv

    now that was a surprise, the trailer and description gives off a normal sort of thriller plot

    but things are not what you read

    we both expected an average generic thriller but got an above average watch with a twist or two

    enjoyable watch be our call
