Coco Machete News: April 2005

Spring has definately sprung in NYC and that means it's time for our summer releases. Following quick on the heels of our last release by Carlton Banks comes the single "That's A Good Look" by Scandal Inc. This one is a bit electro, a smidge of hard 80's funk and a spattering of hip hop stylings courtesy of freshness herself, Venus. Just after Scandal Inc. keep your eyes peeled for a new 12" from Barfly called "This Ain't The Place". Barfly is none other than Rong Music label owner & Triangle Orchestra conductor Ben Cook. This is a ruff cut disco beatdown not to miss. Last on the announcements is the launching of a new sublabel called Coma hitting stores this summer. Coma will be taking a darker, harder approach on the dancefloor for those late late hours of the night. The first single on Coma features two artists, Elmar Schubert who we found kicking beats around Barcelona on a recent excursion and Dead Seal, a new signing by the LandShark in his continuing quest for new talent. Can you keep up ? Just let go and feel the flow, see ya in the shadows.
