Keyser & Shuriken

(Tibor Mozsik and Gábor Vályi) – accompanied by Ambrus Tövisházi aka Erik Sumo they are known as the Crate Soul Brothers dj/producer collective – have been DJing together for more than seven years. Their love for good, soulful music and old school breaks has driven them in the last few years to promoting the culture of sonic delights in Budapest and from New York to Sarajevo – wherever they get a chance to play. During the years they've spent behind the decks they have built reputation in the worldwide scene as fanatic record collectors and selectors of old and new jazz, bossa breaks, rare grooves, funk, afro beat, latin jazz and a wide selection of chilled out and more dancefloor-oriented sounds from the past and present. They have a two hours live show on the legendary non-profit Radio Tilos every Thursday. Their eclectic menu can be accessed around the world on http://blog.tilos.hu/cratesoul. Their rarely-made tunes and remixes have been regularly played by Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, the Jazzanova, Rainer Trüby, Nicola Conte and Tom Wieland among many other respected djs.
This compilation is about 70s funky fusion with a lot of groove. If this is what you are after then every track here is the winner. Some of the big names from the Hungarian scene at that time, like Gabor Szabo, haven’t been included because they were building their careers abroad. This compilation is concentrated just on Hungarian releases. With this selection you will get not just the section through Hungarian rare records and the part of jazz history from that country that you can enjoy listening at home but also a nice selection for your DJ bag if you are into jazz dance and funky fusion. Some of the tunes like Dimenzio’s Bamba already has conquered the club scene and were reworked and sampled by trendy DJs and producers.
