James Brown: The Innovator of the One.
By 1969, James Brown had already redefined soul. With It’s a Mother, he took it further — pushing rhythm, repetition, and rawness into the deep funk that would shape the next decade.

At the heart of it is “Mother Popcorn,” a hard-hitting, two-part single that topped R&B charts and showed the world what was coming next. Brown's partnership with saxophonist P*e Wee Ellis was in full force here, delivering tight arrangements, driving horns, and grooves so deep they’re still being sampled today.

It’s a Mother wasn’t just a hit — it was a turning point. A record that inspired generations of artists, producers, DJs, and dancers. Explosive, unapologetic, and always ahead of the beat.

This is James Brown at his most radical, most rhythmic, most essential.

Roy Ayers: The Godfather of Neo-Soul.

Long before his music became a go-to source for hip-hop samples, Roy Ayers was already shaping the sound of Black cinema. Born in Los Angeles in 1940, Ayers started as a jazz vibraphonist before forging a new musical language in the ’70s—one that fused jazz, funk, soul, and streetwise rhythms.

In 1973, he was invited to compose the soundtrack for Coffy, the cult Blaxploitation film starring Pam Grier. The result? A gritty, groove-heavy score that not only charted on Billboard’s jazz list but also became a sonic blueprint for future generations.

Featuring lush arrangements, bold instrumentation, and vocals by a young Dee Dee Bridgewater, Coffy remains a timeless artifact of Black creative expression in the post-Civil Rights era.

Osmar Milito: The Groove Poet of Brazilian Jazz-Funk

A hidden gem of Brazil’s rich musical landscape, Osmar Milito quietly built a legacy that bridges the sophistication of bossa nova with the raw energy of jazz-funk and MPB. Pianist, arranger, and studio wizard, Milito was a key figure in Rio’s fertile 1970s scene, collaborating with legends like Elis Regina, Leny Andrade, Flora Purim, and Jorge Ben, while crafting his own soulful and deeply rhythmic sound.

Originally released in 1973, Nem Paletó, Nem Gravata is a bold statement of freedom, both musical and personal. Mixing electric piano grooves, samba-jazz flow, cinematic orchestrations, and socially reflective lyrics, the album captures a Brazil in motion: vibrant, complex, and unbuttoned. Milito’s smooth vocals and deft arrangements give the record a timeless feel, fusing jazz sensibility with Brazilian warmth and funk finesse.

Now lovingly reissued by Elemental Music, this long-lost treasure returns on vinyl with restored sound and original artwork. A must-have for fans of crate-digging Brazilian rarities and sun-drenched jazz fusion.

ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM: The Architect of Bossa Nova

Few artists have reshaped global music culture as profoundly as Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927–1994). A master composer, pianist, guitarist, and arranger, Jobim pioneered the sound of Bossa Nova, blending samba rhythms with sophisticated jazz harmonies to create a new musical language: intimate, elegant, and timeless. Known affectionately as Tom Jobim, he penned modern standards like “The Girl from Ipanema”, “Wave”, and “Desafinado”, songs that brought Brazil’s soul to the world stage. His collaborations with João Gilberto, Stan Getz, Frank Sinatra, and Elis Regina bridged continents and genres, forever changing the course of jazz and popular music.

Originally released in 1965, The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim is a lush orchestral album that captures the melodic grace and emotional depth of his songwriting. Featuring English-language versions of Jobim’s classics, this record helped solidify his international legacy — romantic, refined, and unmistakably Brazilian. Now reissued by Elemental Music, this essential album returns with restored audio, vintage artwork, and a tribute to one of the most lyrical composers of the 20th century. Out now — rediscover the beauty of Jobim’s world.
