He has been in various bands most notably Creation Rockers with fellow producer The Manorand players Drummie DanPapa D and Mac although his musical repertoire goes back to the 1970s having appeared on an Alton Ellis single and having played in session with the Skin Flesh & Bones band at Chalk Farm studio to name check but 2 adventures from time and now, right up to date -and surprisingly to many- his first ever album release, a 12 track classic style dub offering entitled 'Back A Yard Dub'.

Mo' Record Kicks


MO' RECORD KICKS have brought out a new compilation full of exclusive new singles from their established as well as newly signed artists together with remixes and b-sides previously only available on 7". Almost all tracks here are seeing the light of day on CD via this compilation for the first time.
First up is Big Boss Man bass player Scott Milsom's new project The Hawk feat Little Hannah Collins "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover". It's got a great driving Northern Soul beat which is bound to have the talcum powder boys very excited.
Next it is the sweet vocal of Gizelle Smith, the find of last year, with the sunshine bright disco soul "June" that has been remixed by TM Juke.
Ray Lugo Les Express features. Roxie Ray getting down and dirty on the brisk and funky "Get On Up", while the Soul Fantastics slow the pace but keep things chugging with their lost gem "Soul Train". Enzo Bontempi adds some humour with their "Italian Spiderman Theme" and then Privates Hammond Orchestra get that 60's Mod vibe blasting with the gritty "Battle Of Yoker". The New Mastersounds give the drummer some on "Nervous" before The Hi-Fly Orchestra go all cosmopolitan with "Latinkick". Gizelle Smith returns for her second outing "Waiting For Reforms" which shows her harder edge. Dojo Cuts "See And Don't See" gives us a blusey soulful funk tipped vibe followed by The Link Quartet's "Zebra" bringing us an acid jazz groove.
Kokolo's cover of James Brown's "Soul Power" gets The Lack of Afro treatment and is the first of three remixes from the top man. The other two are The Diplomats Of Solid Sound "Hurt Me So" and Ray Harris And Fusion Experience "Scaramunga". The first is a remix from their ‘Plenty Nasty’ LP, while "Scaramunga" has a bit of an Afro Funk swing paying respects to the James Bond baddie I assume. In between the Afo mixes are The Underbelly's wah drenched "Red Flames", the band are from Cornwall and this track features the sensational Roxie Ray on vocals, with Michigan's Third Coast Kings instrumental "Summalove" and "Crabs Corporation "Irrompibles Hi Fi" following on. The Crabs come from Buenos Aires with a classic slice of early reggae which warns about the perils of drinking too much.
As we near the end of the album Katzuma hit us with the cool early 80's Jazz Funk of "With Time" then it's of to Milano Jazz Dance Combo feat. Colonel Red and "Changes". Penultimate track from Floyd Lawson & The Harts Of Stone is another lost gem with a touch of 70's Northern Soul that has that funky twist on the eco flavoured "Air I Breath", Then Gizelle Smith pops up again and finally brings things to a close this time backed by the Hammond grinding Link Quartet.
The result of all this is an album that gives you the full spectrum of Record Kicks' sound; from deep funk and vintage soul to nu funk and big beats, from titty shakers to future disco, from early reggae to jazz-dance. A musical trip tailored expressively for forward-thinking listeners, cool dancefloors and funky feet!
