Laura Vane & The Vipertones
Brand new 7” single
A Side: I Can’t Move No Mountains
B Side: 110% (Draaikolk RMX)
The A-Side delivers a top-notch Modern Soul Song that originally has been published in the early 1970s. Since the original version by Margie Joseph has been released at least half a dozen artists covered the track. Laura Vane and the Vipertones’ version is definitely one that will fill any dance floor in no time! Tight and brisk! It’s a really charming mid-tempo track that brings out Laura’s powerful voice to the max!
On the flipside you will find a Nu-Funk remix of Laura Vane & The Vipertones’ original track 110%. Draaikolk (aka bass player Ton van der Kolk) gives an extra twist of funk, adding Phil Martin’s rolling drums, pumping bass and a touch of Marco Hijl’s magic on tenor sax to keep pleasing dance floor demand and the b-boy scene. This 7“ is a total must-have for the upcoming summer as well as for those rainy days that need some brightening up!
THE SOUL SNATCHERS
Scratch My Itch
They are coming to getcha!
Real Soul Music never dies. That’s what the insatiable musicians of the Dutch band The Soul Snatchers prove every time they treat a swinging crowd to their timeless, down to earth funk and soul tunes that find their roots in the sexy Sixties and Seventies of the 20th century.
Taking pure Soul Music right across the bridge into the new century, The Soul Snatchers combine unknown classics and original compositions into a show that not only appeals to connoisseurs, but equally to bigger more mainstream-oriented audiences. The Soul Snatchers don’t claim to have invented Soul Music, neither do they pretend to re-invent it. They just HAVE it! And they love to share it with Rhythm & Blues-lovers in every corner of the globe.
Now it’s time to announce the long awaited second full album by the band: Scratch My Itch. The album will be released in February 2012 on Unique Records (Ger). The album is once again a feast for the listener containing lots of 70’s funk grooves, soulful vocals, powerful horns and a grindin’ Hammond organ, this all served with some ‘swampy’ New Orleans flavor. You will have yourself an album which brings you the best of The Soul Snatchers.
Following their successful album release 'Sniffin’ & Snatchin’’ (2007) which received rave reviews from DJs, press and audiences all over the world, The Soul Snatchers are now ready for their next ride!

Dub style
With addictive pitched up vocals, Dj Ali Emm brings you a kind of night thriller mix with wobbly bass and cut beats, taking you on a dub journey. Koolz remix is a total head mover/neck shaker with a monster bass line dominating the verses and then there’s great spaces for cut vocals between beat switches. To cool off from the previous remixes, to bring you back to a sense of calm, The Weir provides a reflective orchestral alternative to the original with emotive strings.

Electro Disco
If you’re looking for that happy dance vibe, the Trikinosis mix delivers this. Great use of robotic affected vocals and of course not forgetting those all important builds featuring cheeky synth lines and bursts of horns. The Fade remix starts with a chilled out ambient feel to ease you in and progresses to a dirty and hard hitting conclusion. If you like your retro electro sounds, Moto reunites you with your love for early dance music with hooky synths and a simple non-fussy almost mechanical approach to making bodies move.

House Style
David C lays down an unrelenting beat, brings you through a series of washes to get you to the ‘next level’ and then throws you in the middle of a massive trance-like breakdown. A mix full of surprises, so keep your ears and minds open. The Elektrolyte mix has all the ingredients for an inspiring and interesting take on the original, using some old school techniques as well as some wicked sounds. To finish the House style EP we have a real body-rocker, designed to keep you stomping out the beat on the dance floor. Tom Goofy delivers a fantastic up-beat remix, heavy on the horns and keys with a great pulse throughout.
