(TOP 50 Reissues of 2020) - HHV MAG "Stomping, stamping mid-tempo tribal grooves that pull on pentatonics, prog, fusion, and Ghanian tradition. Diskant-Like overdriven scream contests that also recall the music found on Ramuntcho Matta`s Écoute… It`s the big bass drum – keeping time – that kinda defines their sound. In places its boom`s a ringer for an 808. Back To Factory in particular could be an outtake from Bill Laswell`s mid-80s New Africa sessions. Celluloid-esque electro-voodoo." - BAN BAN TON TON "There's lots of space for methodical but beautifully crafted buildups and tribal patterns to dance to" - JAZZ REVELATIONS "Hot Mule continue to impress on their noble quest to resurrect obscure and note-worthy worldwide sounds.

Audio restauration was very well taken care of as well and the sound is simply superb." - THE ATTIC MAG "Marimbas, bells, vibraphones, balafons,the range of instruments used to record this album (in two days back in 1986) is insane, intriguing. A record like no other." - PHONOGRAPHE CORP Best reissue albums 2020 - SERENDEEPITY "Incredible 1986 percussion album combining the infuences of Steve Reich, jazz, african and brazilian music." - BIG WAX RECORDS "The perfect blend of minimal percussion and fusion jazz with heavy 80s drum sounds.

Wow!" - ALEX FROM TOKYO “Should you stumble on an original copy of N'Draman Blintch's 1980 album Cosmic Sounds for sale, it would cost you upwards of 1,000 Pounds. This, then, is a much-needed reissue. It contains four fine cuts that showcase the Ivory Coast-born musician's distinctively intergalactic take on Afro-disco, where spacey electronics and mazy synth lines rise above bustling, high octane grooves” - JUNO “Afro disco feat some insane drum breaks and synth action, this is peak time territory for all the cosmic dance-floors out there." - CEDRIC WOO (BEAUTY & THE BEAT) "Amazing, psychedelic, engagé afro-disco from the same milieu as William Onyeabor. Very warmly recommended." - HONEST JONS "Truly obscure, killer and a true missing link which is known to be elusive, even for hardcore diggers." - DISKUNION "While the long songs and keys might recall some of William Onyeabor’s music, the overall groove is tighter and a lot more soulful - beautiful tracks that take all the long-form jamming of Afro Funk ensembles, and bring it down to a small combo mode, with wonderful live interplay between drums, bass, keayboards and guitar!" - DUSTY GROOVE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1633176498536-0QNJ32S1VWMMRTMACWE7/Cosmic+Sound+-position+sticker+copy.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/db86b581-d8dd-4f48-b4a2-61b683fd5fe5/Eugene+Ndema%2C+Paul+Sokeng.JPG HTML001 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1633176928121-KM9TVDXIF5OLGMEP2KOE/photos%2Bjustin.jpg HTML001 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/f8812cad-5eb8-4291-9f3e-9f8f6aa1e963/paul+and+friend.jpg HTML001 https://www.hotmulerecords.com/maxrambhojan daily 0.75 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1633344779752-E9VMNCVU7DSDPF63MATJ/46144261_2241860546070955_2114660820729200640_n+copy.jpg HTML002 - REVIEWS "Dancefloor devastation announced!" SOFA RECORDS "Labels Hot Mule and Secousse have teamed up to deliver something special: a killer EP of "lost gems from the golden era of Zouk and Gwo-Ka" in Guadeloupe. The A-side boasts two versions of the rather brilliant and suitably cheery "Tou't Jou Pa Min'm": the jaunty, sun-kissed, whistle-sporting 1986 original mix, and Rambhojan's heavily electronic, synthesizer-heavy, calypso-tinged 1992 re-make of his biggest local hit. Over on side B you'll find the bubby dub bass, sparse synths and flute solos of the decidedly tropical "Cecilia" and a suitably breezy, sunset-ready gem entitled "On Jou Matin"." - JUNO "Pure dance floor magic” - MR BONGO "Totally tropical, groove heavy and boasting that dizzying 80s blend of live and synthetic instruments, this is zouk at its very best.

Cheered on by crowd vocals and carnival whistles. French labels Hot Mule and Secousse, have partnered the tune with a 1992 more electronic version, plus two downtempo pieces. The 86 original is as full on as La Compagnie Creole covering Jin-Go-Bah-La, while the 92 take features stuttering accordion sounds and steel pans. Of the slower songs, On Jou Matin is perhaps the one. A percussive slice of after sunrise Electric Maloya.” - BAN BAN TON TON “Responsible for last year’s reissue of Afro-disco masterpiece Cosmic Sounds, the Hot Mule label returns with some more tropical dancefloor heat with four rare tracks by Guadalupe vocalist Max Rambhojan.

The more you play it the more you find yourself entranced by Lasry’s superbly subtle melodic gifts. It’s a real grower of a collection, a fine testament to a life spent crafting miniature musical masterpieces. If you like the library music end of things, you’re going to absolutely adore this album." - CAL GIBSON (BANBANTONTON) "From the blissfully evocative meditations of ‘Raising Sun In Bali’ to the hypnotic mallet strikes of ‘Birds Of Space’, the album is compelling throughout, revealing hidden secrets with each listen. Among the most immediate of the titles are the heavy funk flex and jazz flute solos of ‘Los Angeles’, the rolling swagger and cosmic charm of ‘Krazy Kat’, and the faintly spooky but altogether jaunty atmospherics of the compilation’s title track. Elsewhere, the prog-leaning virtuosity of ‘Chamonix’ leaves an indelible mark, while the unabated jazz flute of Blue Theme’ provides yet another triumph. Last but not least, the cinematic scope of ‘Back To Amazonia’ glides like a Golden Eagle, as emotive pads and sparse percussion evoke images of morning mist rising over virgin rainforest." - JUNO DAILY "One of the great reissues of the year" - TOM RAVENSCROFT (BBC 6 MUSIC) “Wow. What a fine collection of Teddy Lasry. Although I knew a few albums from him, I didn't know the extent of his greatness. Brilliant sounds, unique ideas and incredible journey as a compilation. I can't wait to get hold of the record. Congratulations on another amazing release!” - KAY SUZUKI (TIME CAPSULE) "Il a fallu deux ans de travail au label français pour rassembler ces créations funk fusion électrifiées, soigneusement remastérisées. À ce jour, Teddy continue toujours d’enregistrer et d’expérimenter la musique, à l’âge de 75 ans. Ce disque est donc un sincère hommage à son œuvre. Et permet de lever le voile sur des compositions nimbées de mystère.” - L’OBS "‘Birds Of Space’ on repeat before leaving the store. ‘Feel home’ music. Life-long instant classic song” - GEMINICRICKET https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/37148a05-3e87-40e7-b1e1-717e49110674/EPSON092.JPG HTML008 - REVIEWS "Du presque techno « Back To Amazonia » au presque dub « Chamonix », la musique de Teddy Lasry suinte l’amour d’un son qui se danse et ne sacrifie jamais le fun sur l’autel de l’expérimentation. Pourtant si on se sent obligé de « presquifier » tous les qualificatifs de sa musique, c’est justement parce qu’on y est toujours un peu perdu, ou plutôt un peu pompette." - GOȖTE MES DISQUES "Killer, Killer" - ZAKIA (NTS) “This fine compilation gathers together the cream of his mid-70s-to-mid-80s solo career, focusing on a mixture of Wally Badarou style jazz-funk, Balearic-minded synthesizer reggae, colourful ambient soundscapes, worldbeat workouts, fretless bass-sporting soundscapes and atmospheric late-night workouts. It's a genuinely brilliant collection all told and one that we'd highly recommend.” - JUNO "Lasry has always shot for the stars in terms of experimentation, and the results are a body of work that continually serves up moments of magic. This beautifully well thought out collection of tracks serves as a series of references that point to his wide reaching sound, from scaled balaeric bliss through to deeply funky fusion, his sound had it all.” - ENDLESS GROOVES “A righteous retrospective from Hot Mule that as well as aligning crystals also packs a funky punch. Raising Sun On Bali is the beatific highlight, bolstered by the digital bonus of a blinding remix from Lexx.” - DR ROB (BANBANTONTON) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1633970522803-3ZM4MJGOQX9ELN1HLINH/Placement-sticker+copy.jpg HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/7567085c-d30c-4788-9e4f-8ae245f1159e/Teddy+In+Magma.JPG HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/3ef6bd4c-39cb-4711-8dd7-a955573c17ea/EPSON062.JPG HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/da461c76-e3a6-4dd7-9f92-65a1bd19fc8c/JACQUES+ET+YVONNE+LASRY.jpeg HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/67c25dff-cea1-4ba5-a609-4627cea806a8/EPSON075+copy.JPG HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/6f19d2b2-53d2-4d4d-9e9e-68c474741b3b/Structures+sonores+with+Teddy.jpg HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/3e5f6a88-2863-4fa7-afee-950e77b7a3f4/EPSON085+copy.JPG HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/d1ffe31c-6453-4f93-9228-3e846f7e53fc/Les+clowns+copy.JPG HTML008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/35aa67df-edbe-436b-af53-4e8265addc95/EPSON100+copy.JPG HTML008 https://www.hotmulerecords.com/abcrentsil daily 0.75 2022-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/79f36ed8-a0f4-4503-8a12-7cfae24ffc77/Front+Cover.jpg HTML009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/16f71fbf-db36-4f94-908c-c7efa92d823f/INSERT-digital.jpg HTML009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/ca44d777-5da6-4020-832e-66ad0619c23e/Back+Cover.jpg HTML009 https://www.hotmulerecords.com/html009-bis daily 0.75 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/a49bff8a-537b-4997-aa85-4c3039942a47/Liner+Notes+HTML009SEC014.jpg HTML009 bis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/bec23427-b97d-4d09-be8e-4306069d01f1/Crentsil+Sweet+Talks.jpg HTML009 bis - REVIEWS "A 10" featuring the finest that highlife has to offer. A pair of incredible tracks produced by Charles Amoah utilising limited equipment to create an authentic party atmosphere, jovial flutes and plucky strings are the accompaniment to A.B. Entsils's proclamation of joy - put this on at the party and the room are sure to start moving.” - JUNO "Secousse and Hot Mule synergise, and shine, collaborating on a reissue of A.B. Crentsil’s sought after 1992 feel-good Burger Highlife hit, Obi Baa Wiase. Its whistling synth melody bouncing along on bright, uplifting, piano, the sublime production boasting both a soaring backing chorus, and some serious, serious guitar from Ralph Karikari." - BAN BAN TON TON "Hot Mule and Secousse never cease to delight us, release after release.

Bingo. Hot Mule takes the podium with this compilation from “Camara production” a label founded in Paris, a reference for the Soninke artistic diaspora and other Malian talents. Very deep, tradi-modern and voices... voices!" - SOFA RECORDS "With the help of this wonderful vinyl 2LP, a lot could be told about the fluidity of culture, about the history of Africa, but also about intercontinental migration, about nation-statehood and much more. The centuries-old history of these recordings is told in detail in the liner notes and can also be read on the Internet. The music itself tells the story. On “Wagadu Grooves: The Hypnotic Sound Of Camara 1987-2016” you can find traces of disco and reggae, but of course also ancient rhythms, autotune meets traditional instruments." - HHV MAG "This here release is, quite unpretentiously, the stuff of legend, actually several legends wrapped into one phenomenal release." - GREEDY FOR BEST MUSIC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/e1e4106c-474c-4a5d-9b18-8949361be14b/3035+Mohamed+Tangoudja+2007+copie.jpeg HTML010 "A zinging survey of the dazzlingly diverse, thrilling, neglected releases of Gaye Mody Camara, a young Soninke raised in Mali’s Kayes region, who settled in France in 1977. He started out by selling wax, kola nuts, and other items in Paris; and in no time he was distributing cassette tapes, on his way to producing a multitude of recordings for his own label, Camara Production. A fascinating, precious insight into the modern diaspora of an ancient culture, spanning out as Malian zouk, Mauritanian reggae, and a myriad of grooving, head-spinning directions. Prepared in full collaboration with Gaye Camara; with riso-printed notes." - HONEST JON’S ”A way of reliving the Soninké cosmogonies from their beginnings, to their most recent development, stories of prosperity and adventure, of exile and roots, mixed with the sounds of ancient koras or ngoni, just as the digital echoes of synthesizers and vocoders." - DJOLO “Wagadu Grooves: The Hypnotic Sound of Camara 1987-2016 showcases all the different ways the ancient Soninke sound developed through modern production: the delicate, hypnotic lute set alongside the regular beats of a drum machine and heavily autotuned vocals on opener “Kori,” the synthy reggae of “Yexu,” the endlessly transportive “Koolo Fune,” or the swirling disco of “Tenedo.” All blur the borders between tradition and innovation, and are a tribute to Camara’s efforts to keep Soninke culture alive." - SHFL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/d0521a1a-78fb-4950-b22a-8041120bf935/3021+Lassana+Hawa+TENERE+DVD+copie.jpeg HTML010 "Hot Mule and partners have produced an essential introductory showcase/revitalisation of Soninke sounds: the very epitome of ‘cool’ and enlightenment. And with it, shed that metaphorical light on a story that needs shouting about. I can’t really fault the collection. And so recommend you make room for it, add to your listening list, and better still, purchase a copy ahead of the rush: I’m anticipating it will sell out fast." - MONOLITH COCKTAIL "Ranging from driving percussive numbers to melodic ballads, this diverse collection showcases Camara’s sonic evolution and timeless talent. As the tracks blur borders between disco, reggae, and soul, listeners’ ears will delight with the echo of a magical musical experience – a chronicle of harmonic creativity that is a fitting tribute to this formidable artist and his brilliant Camara Production label." - TWISTED SOUL MUSIC "I suppose the category is "Electronic griot" and it is consistently high quality, as is the production." - MUZIKIFAN "A ridiculously beautiful record." - TOM RAVENSCROFT (BBC 6 MUSIC) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/645f1710-4d5f-49c7-bc33-ab7a8126fae9/Capture+d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran+2023-12-12+a%CC%80+12.53.32.png HTML010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1710429243748-AXKP5B7SDY9EQWJWEKYE/Nainy%252BFarafina.jpg HTML010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1710429297274-H30BMXNZEH9B7HXNJYVM/Diaby%2BDoua%2BK7.jpg HTML010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1710429592842-QXFRHCF1SYH7ZDVMC5V7/Babani%2BKone.jpg HTML010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1710430373171-20HUTR0S5D8JA5ACJ8G6/Kaniba%2BOuele.jpg HTML010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/1710429072722-8DJIEHOSWLVUFDT3JJJF/Halima%2Brecto.jpg HTML010 https://www.hotmulerecords.com/store daily 0.75 2025-04-29 https://www.hotmulerecords.com/store/p/hot-mule-tee monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/26e36f18-fca8-42a8-8397-ef687bcb4c06/red+and+blue.jpg Store - Hot Mule Tee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/09a9e628-b055-431d-be98-2ab7ccf3edfa/Heart.jpg Store - Hot Mule Tee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/e5e49414-a69e-4eb3-960a-2e2e10462a5b/Red+mule.jpg Store - Hot Mule Tee https://www.hotmulerecords.com/store/p/ab-crentsil-obi-baa-wiase monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155da820965615bc27a0f9b/b78553bd-b0fb-4dee-abaf-319fdcf50cb6/Vinyl.jpg Store - A.B.
