1st YAM WHO release of 2007- You Don't Care About Our Love b/w Flunky Gone Punky (We Are Ready)
Prins Thomas loves FLUNKY GONE PUNKY!! Also getting plays from Todd Terje, Lindstrom, Bill Brewster!
Fresh from not only remixing JOSS STONE, but being the first producers to do so and because RAPHAEL SAADIQ hooked them up, YAM WHO? return with their first own production of 2007. And it’s a monster release. The A Side a cover of the obscure British disco cut, CHINA BURTON’s YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR LOVE. The original has recently fetched £300 (yes pounds!) on the ‘Bay! Yam Who? has created a contemporary upbeat chunky boogie masterpiece complete with Norman Anderson’s soulful falsetto vocal delivery.
With FLUNKY GONE PUNKY (WE ARE READY), a dancefloor anthem in the making, Yam Who? have gone back to their roots. There are definite ARTHUR RUSSELL and THE CLASH influences in this dubby, synthy, punk-funk-disco bomb with reggae influences and wicked drumbreaks thrown in for good measure.
YAM WHO’s profile is second to none. Beyond JOSS STONE they have remixed THE FRESH PRINCE & DJ JAZZY JEFF, JOHN LEGEND, ZERO 7, INCOGNITO, THE SUNBURST BAND, CHAZ JANKEL, AMP FIDDLER, JILL SCOTT, RAPHAEL SAADIQ, ALISON CROCKETT, NATHAN HAINES, ONLY CHILD, LIZ FIELDS, EMMANUEL, and BEBEL GILBERTO to name but a few and done stuff for the following labels SONY, BROWNSWOOD, PAPA, UBIQUITY, COUNTERPOINT, COMPOST, STEREO DELUXE, WAH WAH 45s, RAW FUSION, FAR OUT, KINDRED SPIRITS and SCHEMA. They have recorded covers of the LEROY BURGESS boogie classic SUMMERTIME the MINNIE RIPERTON rare groove anthem HERE WE GO , plus HEATWAVES’s two step STAR OF THE STORY and LA BOPPERS WRAP YOU UP. And now Yam Who well and truly put CHINA BURTON’s YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR LOVE on the soul map. Yam Who is Andy Williams, formerly of dubby funk disco outfit FUZZ AGAINST JUNK who recorded for NUPHONIC RECORDS and avid collector dj musician Des Morgan who plays percussion and bass.
NORMAN ANDERSON is no stranger to the soul and dance music industry having worked with, amongst others, Tony Allen, US3, Chaz Jankel and Altered Vibes the record label; he also has previous with the Yam Who? boys.
YAM WHO? Website
The FUNKANALA project is a combination of AFRO & LATIN rhythms with the worlds of JAZZ, FUNK & DANCE. Recorded and produced by the exploits of Jim Hawkins and John Cunningham in numerous studios, bedrooms, offices & warehouse spaces in North London and featuring master drummers, dancers & singers from SENEGAL plus the finest BRITISH JAZZ session players including Dave Lewis, Andy Panayi & Mornington Lockett.
And in the fall of 2005 we issued a limited run of white labels of "BAMAKO" written by OMAR DIOP and featuring the Coltrane-esque talents of master saxophonist MORNINGTON LOCKETT with "ECONOMY CLASS" on the flip showcasing BLOCKHEADS regular and co-writer DAVE LEWIS. This 12 was popular with a bright array of experienced dj's including SHUYA OKINO (KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE), PATRICK FORGE, SIMON DUNMORE (DEFECTED RECORDS), BEN CHAPMAN (BBE), MR SCRUFF, CARL CRAIG, STACEY PULLEN, MICHAEL RUETTEN (WORLDWIDE FAMILY), TOM WIELAND (LES GAMMAS), BEN SMITH (REDBULL MUSIC ACADEMY, TRUSTTHEDJ), FAZE ACTION, MARK SPIRITUAL SOUTH, NIGEL PRANKSTER (3HEDZ / FORWARDSBACKWARDS), ROB LIFE & SKEG (BREAKIN BREAD), FRANKIE VALENTINE, SPIN DOCTOR (SOULBREW / BBE) and ALEX, JOHN & CEDRIC (VOICES COLLECTIVE) . And of course GOYA MUSIC who distributed for us getting the music to the far reaches of the planet. Let us take a moment to thank you guys for the support, it is most appreciated!!!
In March 2006 we licensed ECONOMY CLASS by FUNKANALA to SIMON DUNMORE'S label DEFECTED RECORDS for the MIAMI 2006 compilation. This has exposed our music to many thousand more people worldwide and was a start to HERE AND NOW RECORDINGS that we couldn't have hoped for!
The latter part of 2006 has seen FUNKANALA recording the rest of their fantastic album and for HERE AND NOW RECORDINGS the future holds an additional FUNKANALA 12 set for an early 2007 release and in short succession the FUNKANALA debut long player BE THERE TOMORROW. To follow this HERE AND NOW RECORDINGS is releasing a YAM WHO 12, a cover of a classic uk disco tune by CHINA BURTON and then and project recorded in Paris featuring MANU DIBANGO's rhythm section, the outcome a fantastic offkey vocal disco funk track with an afrobeat tune on the flipside. This will be with you in time for New Year!
