Peter Brown and Patrick Adams: two names as likely to create frenzy on the dance floor as an eBay auction are the Ps of P&P Records. The P&P story started in the mid-sixties with Peter Brown leaving his rural home in Georgia for the hustle and bustle of Harlem NYC. It was not long before Peter met up with Patrick and their historic run onto the charts and dance floors began. Together Peter and Patrick put out a seemingly endless string of records on imprints such as P&P Records, Queen Constance, Golden Flamingo, Heavenly Star, Sound of New York, Hit Makers, PAP, Sound of the Universe etc. etc. etc.
Now world renowned club DJ Spinna and Five Day Weekend have united and combined resources to present some of the rarest and most sought after Disco and Modern Soul the world has to offer on Spinna vs. P&P Records. On this insane mix Spinna has mixed the most choice aural gems from the vast P&P catalog into 79 minutes of sonic bliss. These cuts sound fresher than ever at the hands of a DJ Spinna. Taking bits and pieces from the many genres offered under P&Ps vast umbrella of music he makes the mix flow with a continuity that could only be provided by a DJ/ producer who understands the very soul of New York City.

BEAT THIEF & iLLVIBE FEAT. L.S. – CAFE JASS
FREE DOWNLOAD – http://www.music.downtownsoul.com
Featuring the lead video single “LAST SONG”
CAFE JASS is a jazz hip-hop concept album dreamt up by Canadian emcee iLLvibe after he and L.S. met DowntownSoul producer Beat Thief whilst on a guerilla tour of Europe in 2010. Melding a live jazz ambience, Beat Thief’s trademark soul-infused hip-hop sound, and mature rhymes from the two indie hip-hop vets, this is a cohesive album for the discerning listener.
With features on the album including US emcees Kwote1 (Chicago) and Yello Blac (Cali), as well as Canada’s Mer and Rk ParX, not to mention DowntownSoul affiliates Non Applicable and Sam Steele, this is truly an international affair, with recording begun in London and since completed in Toronto and Hong Kong. Taking the idea of a live night at the vibrant but run-down Cafe Jass, the songs have an organic feel, interspersed with comedic snippets from a legendary Richard Pryor show.
