Our Label Records Night at the Mojo Club Jazz Café in Hamburg on Friday, 5th April 2019 from 9pm.
If there is a meeting of ‘the scene’ in Hamburg, Germany, Soulstew (formerly known as The Elder Statesman) will be present. You would expect him at a networking night of the Association of Independent Music Firms (VUT) and also at UNERHÖRT! Music Film Festival. Given his Punk roots, no surprise there. However, one of the more […]
Truly a friend, who I would describe as a mid-wife, if he was a lady. When Our Label fired up stage two of its business, Mr Mellow of Legere Recordings was there – on the lawn of Hamburg’s Stadtpark, if memory serves me correctly – to offer advice, courage and generally a good vibe. Therefore, […]

The mix is done, the master mastered and the artwork approved. Now we need to wait. This is obviously the hard part. But Vinyl must be cooked and pressed and cooled off and boxed and shipped. We aim for an official release on the 8th May 2015… but we know, you can’t wait either, If […]
I had no idea how smokey this joint would be… oh, joint as is place, not as in drugs. The Yoko Mono in Hamburg is one of the last few smoking bars, which I only realised as I entered it. That was in the late afternoon of a day in 2011. David Nesselhauf, a genuinely […]
It happens only every four years or so, but having a chat with Professor Groove of WeFunk Radio is always a true pleasure! A lovely guy with a deep knowledge of Funk.
She has been around for a while. Her band of equal fame are as tight as ever and nobody can ignore the fact that she almost single-handedly brought real Soul back into the American mainstream. I take solace in the fact that the music biz has to watch from the wings as every late night […]
