Alarm Press - "Best Albums of the Week" 7/13
Nublu Records is proud to present the U.S. debut album from Italian funk maestros, Calibro 35!
These guys are something else, creating an explosive mix of funk, jazz and rock into what sounds like a classic
soundtrack to an Italian mobster movie from the 60's! A perfect accompaniment to driving that small roadster
you've always dreamed about. The four piece band is helmed by Tommaso Colliva (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Arto
Lindsay) and his musical cast of characters: Massimo Martellotta (Stewart Copeland) on guitars, Enrico Gabrielli
on keyboards, brass and flute, Fabio Rondanini on drums and Luca Nano Cavina on bass.
Check out this mini-site for a more extensive bio, along with photos, additional tracks and a peek at the band in
the studio. Also check out this video mash-up of the infamous car chase scene in Bullit with Calibro 35 track,
"Five Dolls for an August Moon" which was selected top tune on KCRW!

FORRO IN THE DARK Perro Loco Remixes
Digital only
Two original tracks from Forro in the Dark's latest album 'Light A Candle' get
remixed. First up is Solo (Deadfish/Dirtybird/Southern Fried), a very talented
DJ/producer who's been tearing up the dancefloors in the UK and beyond. He's
delivered a good number of heavy club hitters recently and this remix is no less!
A super summer feel good track with a great sax hook.
Next is Uproot Andy, Brooklyn based DJ/producer from ZZK and Bersa Discos
labels. Here he turns the quirky reggae inspired original to a electro cumbia
number. Hot, hot, hot.
"the sneaky Ibiza hit?"

and many more.
HESS IS MORE Hits Remixes EP

Hess Is More's "Ssshhh" and Yes Boss" from their debut U.S. album "Hits,"
finally get the remix treatment from a slew of red hot producers. London house
freaks Zombie Disco Squad (Made To Play) are up first, with a cracking remix of
"Ssshhhh." Glaswegian producer The Revenge, clocks in next for all the spaced out,
cosmic heads out there. His remix of "Yes Boss" is a chilled out future disco
number that would fit nicely at your next loft party or sprawled out on
a Mediterranean beach with a brew in one hand and sunscreen in the other. Hess Is More's "Ssshhh" and Yes Boss" from their debut U.S. album "Hits,"

Last but not least, disco house maestro Pete Herbert steps up to the plate
with his take on "Yes Boss." One word comes to mind when you hear this tune,
Funky! A stomping bass-line accompanies horns and guitar stabs that move
the feet and clear the mind. Both The Revenge and Pete Herbert mixes come
with DJ friendly dub versions.
DJ support from Gilb'R (Chateau Flight), Jeannie Hopper, Jacques Renault,
Michael Rutten and many others.

FIRST NUBLU JAZZ FESTIVAL SCHEDULE!!!!!! NOVEMBER 5-22
FORRO IN THE DARK new album LIGHT A CANDLE out now!
FORRO IN THE DARK new album LIGHT A CANDLE out now!
Forro in the Dark, the band that has been rocking Wednesday's at Nublu for the past five years is
back with their sophomore release Light a Candle via Nat Geo / Nublu Records.
They are both faithful and subversive of the genre-experimentally mixing in electric guitar, elements of hip hop and electronica, and instruments foreign to forro. The result is a music that extends the
essence of the style: dance music best heard live!
So, the new album was recorded almost entirely live, with minimal overdubs, capturing the high-energy
performance that folks best know them for. The 13 song comprising the new album LIGHT A CANDLE, a
name borrowed from a Neil Young song, was recorded at Flux Studios in NYC with the help from producer
Fab and many great friends.
Mauro, Davi, Jorge and Guilherme have been touring all over the world individually with some amazing
artists, but the time has come for FORRO IN THE DARK to make it all over the world together! Mauro has been
involved with some amazing collaborations of late including the new Thom Yorke project.
"Optimistic and celebratory, occasionally instrumental and always compelling"
HESS IS MORE signs to Nublu Records Ssshhhh single out today!!
Danish sensation Mikkel Hess aka HESS IS MORE is something like the Danish answer to both Jon Brion and the Flight of the Conchords. Hess is a skillful singer, songwriter, composer and multi instrumentalist with an eclectic sense that encompasses pop, rock, disco, jazz and electronica. Hess also has a unique distinctly poppy sense of humor that is very appealing and inviting even though it's often filtered through quite a dark almost Lars von Trier outlook. Read more
The single (available digitally only) features the super infectious whistling song SSSSHHH including an extended version of it, the intergalactic pop song the Magic Invention from t.d.p.r.c. and a remix of Yess Boss by upcoming NYC producer Pocketknife.
The US debut album Hits will be released June 9th.

June 10 — KUDU returns with BACK FOR MORE: A remix collection out today!!
Back for More follows the Brooklyn-based trio’s acclaimed 2006 full-length Death of the Party; and much like its deliciously retro-modern, genre-hopping predecessor, the remix collection seamlessly navigates through a gritty urbana bursting with heavy neon-daubed grooves that meld dark melodic synth-pop and thunderous electro-punk with deviant future disco and gloriously twisted cabaret to create the ideal soundtrack for electronic-pop music lovers and dancefloor junkies.
Carefully compiled by KUDU with the help of Petrit Pula and Craig Roseberry, Back for More is a well-crafted hybrid of adventurous reworks of stand-out selections from Death of the Party alongside new and previously released tracks, rarities and explosive remixes by Sinden, Drop the Lime, MKL, Hess is More, Tommie Sunshine and many more...

Forro in the Dark Dia de Roda EP / Out May 2008
Dia de Roda showcases what's important to Forro in the Dark's magic: laughs, good times, and, as always, the party.
Sexy, laugh-out-loud, FITD's unique hybrid jam is a trademark blend of country soul and urban funk.
Whether singing about Rastafarianism, Robin Hood, or the Roda, in English or in Portuguese, they charge
every note with a palpable energy that needs no translation. Their forrÛ-inspired beats conjure a sonic atmosphere
that draws today's jazz aficionados and techno-loving clubgoers onto the dancefloor together."
Digital and vinyl release. Vinyl will be available soon and it includes bonus remix by Quantic!
other news... Forro in the Dark's music is included in the new animation feature film by Bill Plympton titled Idiots and Angels. The film also includes music by Tom Waits, Pink Martini, Moby, etc. The film is a black comedy, a true cartoon-noir first! Visit here.
3 Na Massa self-titled debut album / April 2008
3 Na Massa is a new project cooked up by by producer Rica Amabis of the S“o Paulo-based collective Instituto and bassist Dengue
and drummer Pupillo of the seminal Pernambuco rock band NaÁ“o Zumbi. Conceived as a kind of soundtrack to the erotic comic book
frames of Italian artist Milo Manara, the musicians intended to penetrate the female universe by writing songs in the feminine voice
as Chico Buarque is known to do. The menís imaginations were fueled by womenís intimate, uncensored conversations about their
amorous experiences ----- moments of seduction, moments of desire, moments that marked their lives.
Some of Brazilís best-known singers and actresses including CÈU, Nina Miranda (Smoke City), Thalma de Freitas (Orquestra Imperial),
Karine Carvalho (soap opera star), Nina Becker and Alice Braga (ìCity of Godî, "Blindness") were recruited to create vocal characters for each the albumís thirteen tracks.
Despite the unmistakable vocal presence of pioneering reggae deejay U-Roy, Love Trio is not a reggae band.
And despite this albumís appearance at first glance, it is not a remix album. The Dark Mixes, is a heavier, deeper mix of the
album that came before. Itís an album for a later night. And though thereís a strong reggae influence in the music
Love Trio makes, they are much much more. They are true musical globalists. Their sound is an inclusive hybrid of the
electronic, jazz and dub worlds, with a generous assortment of other influences creeping in at the edges.
The Dark Mixes gives their previous effort a more textured vibe and provides a darker backdrop for the multitude of influences
that define each selection. Itís a taste of the late night Nublu sound, and itís a deep, soulful vibe.
Digital only, vinyl available soon
