The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra is Far Outs in-house Brazilian disco super group. The projects arrangers are the late, great Azymuth maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami and the legendary Arthur Verocai. Now on its 14th release, the remix series is a sizeable and ever-growing arsenal of disco weaponry, with a prolific list of contributors including Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Andres, Dego, Mark Pritchard, John Morales, DJ Spinna and 4hero. The latest offering comes from Glaswegian disco maverick Al Kent. Al is Scotlands answer to Walter Gibbons, a global authority on disco music, and an expert in the art of the re-edit, which holds true more so than ever in his take on Vendetta, a soaring instrumental cut drawn from the original Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra album. Kent twists around the bouncing congas and Arthur Verocais chilling string arrangements for a striking up-tempo stomper with a fierce edge. It sits perfectly in between deep house and disco, a no brainer for DJs that play across that spectrum. Record Label: Far Out Recordings Style: Brazil

Legendary, wonderful Brazilian deep-jazz album reissued by Far Out. Record Label: Far Out Recordings Style: Jazz

JOSE MAURO'S "OBNOXIOUS" LP TO BE REISSUED. Originally released in 1970, the record has become a favourite of the likes of Floating Points, Antal and Gilles Peterson. "Obnoxious" sees Jose Mauro wax lyrical about the state of politics in Brazil during a time of censorship, dictatorship and an aggressive government. It's reissue now seems fitting given the current political climate and landscape of Brazil following the recent 2016 Olympics and its various controversies. Through poetic soul and expertly crafted music Jose Mauro captures a time in sound which is at present as relevant as it was some forty odd years ago. Record Label: Far Out Recordings Style: Brazil

Natural is the latest collaboration between musical travellers and kindred spirits Nicola Conte and Stefania Dipierro, the culmination of a relationship rooted in a shared belief in the spiritually healing powers of music. The Italian duo is set to take 2016 by storm with a sensual, sumptuous and highly accomplished record, firmly anchored in the traditions of Brazilian bossa nova, samba and jazz. Stefania and Nicola first came together as members of the seminal 90s musical collective Fez, with Nicola leading the group. This period, one full of inspiration and discovery, laid the seeds for Natural. Though Stefania lent her enviable vocal talents to many bands over the years and Nicola went on to an illustrious production career, outside of a handful of tracks from Nicola’s album Jet Sounds, it was not until now that the stars aligned again, allowing these two mercurial talents to merge their musical sensibilities once again to access the deep spirituality that is at the core of their approach to sound. Stefania’s ongoing musical journey has ensured that her connection to, and understanding of jazz runs deep, as she resoundingly demonstrates throughout Natural. With Nicola once again in the production seat, the album serves as the defining showcase for her inimitable vocal talents. Nicola first achieved international acclaim for his signature style of samba-influenced acid-jazz, which also drew inspiration from 60s and 70s Italian film soundtracks. Alongside his production work Nicola has laid out his musical vision through his guitar playing and songwriting, with numerous studio albums including 2004’s Other Directions, released on Schema, a French Subsidiary of Blue Note Records. His compilation series Viagem, all 5 volumes of which have been released on Far Out, provide an insight into the sounds of the past that have inspired his music of today, a peerless collection of lost bossa and samba jazz from the swinging Brazilian 60s. On this new collaborative release for Far Out, Conte’s forward thinking production cleverly compliments and contrasts with the warmth of Dipierro’s laid back inflection and gloriously rich timbres. Natural is aptly named, considering the ease with which Stefania and Nicola have re-assumed the roles of muse to one another, a musical relationship providing the deepest access to the poetry within their sound. The album’s title track and first single is a perfect introduction to their world, a masterful blend of global influences in which a propulsive Afro-rhythm bolstered by a searing funk guitar, whilst soothing Rhodes chords provide a distinctly Brazilian warmth and Stefania’s vocals offer up an enriching melody to soothe the heart and engage the mind. Alongside original compositions from Nicola and others, Natural also tantalisingly promises some inspired re-interpretations of classic Brazilian and jazz pieces: Trio Tenura’s exemplary bossa groove A Gira and Steve Kuhn’s beautiful The Meaning of Love are among the tracks respectfully imbued with an updated resonance. The scintillating blend of jazz and bossa alongside a contemporary sensibility makes for a debut collaboration. A timeless example of the special places Brazilian music can go with a beautiful voice and a smooth groove, marking out Dipierro as a natural talent of the highest order.
