Henry Maas’ iconic collection of classic jazz LPs is coming back to Fitzroy!

The Collection will be unveiled at 6pm-8pm on Friday 18th and remain instore until the end of MIJF on Oct 27th.  Not Online just inside.

Henry Maas opened the Black Cat Cafe in 1982 to give a home to the beatniks and freaks and jazzers and those who liked a nutty chilli burger as well. Together with his friends Toni Edwards and Mario from Mario’s, they travelled the world buying groovy cool jazz. They brought it all back to Fitzroy, and along with the band called BACHELORS FROM PRAGUE  they kept Fitzroy knee deep in Jazz.

We have recently bought the collection from Henry and he has given us his blessing to return them to the funky streets that he helped give groove. 

1000 classic jazz records go out on sale at Northside Records coinciding with opening night of the 2024 Melbourne International Jazz festival. The records will be unveiled with the local legendary DJ ANDREW YOUNG playing selections from the Henry Maas Collection, alongside photos documenting the Fitzroy music scene of yore by Henry’s niece DEBRA MAAS.

Come along and TAKE FIVE or more records to instantly get the 10% discount which every musician always enjoys at Northside Records. So get down and do the DAVE BRUBECK and TAKE FIVE……..

Weekly update. News, New Releases, Fresh Stock & more

NEWS:
IMMY OWUSU INSTORE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

Big thanks to everyone who got down to Northside last Friday night for the Immy Owusu instore. The night was incredible! The crowd divine, the sound delightful, the dancing disco-tastic, the hangs dependable, the times dope! His debut release “Lo-Life” on Hope Street Recordings is out now. $45 for the LP. T-shirts for $40.

RETIREE
‘Through The Smoke’
(Retiree) LP $45

Retiree is a 3-piece band from Sydney & Melbourne. The musical project of Matt Crowley, Tori Holleman and Marco Vella; Retiree have steadily congealed their broad influences into a unique emulsion of strongly rhythmic and emotional music with energetically dynamic live performances both in Australia and abroad.

SIMON MAVIN
‘Good Hair Day / Only You & Me’
(Bastard Jazz) 12″ $28

Bastard Jazz is proud to present the debut EP from producer and multi-instrumentalist Simon Mavin. Most well known as the Grammy nominated keyboardist/co-producer and co- writer of the celebrated Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote, Simon’s had a hand in multiple projects across the spectrum, but has yet to release under his own moniker until now.

The EP, which features two original tracks and two remixes from fellow Aussies Harvey Sutherland and Close Counters starts out was recorded in-between projects at the Grove, a small recording sanctuary in Melbourne. In Simon’s studio, he had installed a library of keyboards. 30-40 synthesizers, all of which were painstakingly patched in to be simultaneously accessible and ready to record in an instant. A drum kit in the corner was constantly mic’d up, and everything routed through a multitude of analog mixing desks providing different flavours of tone and texture.

NAI PALM
‘Needle Paw’
PINK SPLATTER VINYL
(Brainfeeder) 2LP $69

Deluxe reissue of Nai Palm’s solo record from 2017. Some say it sounds hotter on pink splatter wax!

HIATUS KAIYOTE
‘Tawk Tomahawk’
(Sony) LP+7″ $60

Reissue of the greatest Australian soul record of all time, this time including a 45 with Nakamarra featuring Q-Tip & the Clever Austin remix of Boom Child. So Clever.

JOHN COLTRANE WITH ERIC DOLPHY
‘Evenings At The Village Gate’
(Impulse!) 2LP $78

In the summer of 1961, John Coltrane headlined at the celebrated music venue, the Village Gate, with a lineup of musicians that included McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones, and the fiery playing of Eric Dolphy. Now after six decades, the live recording of the creative and transformative spirit that sprang from the pairing of Coltrane and Dolphy, and the evolving short-lived quintet, Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy.

Recently discovered at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the recordings of these fabled performances—recorded by engineer Rich Alderson as part of a test of the club’s new sound system—were seemingly lost, then found, and then disappeared again into the vast sound archives of the Library for the Performing Arts. The tapes’ circuitous route over several decades seemingly mirrors Coltrane’s ongoing musical journey in August of 1961.

Recorded during Coltrane’s month-long Village Gate residency with his quintet (often with a revolving cast of musicians), the album consists of eighty minutes of never-before-heard music. It offers a glimpse into a powerful musical partnership that ended much too soon – Dolphy sadly passed away three years later and this recording is the only live recording of their legendary Village Gate performances. In addition to some well-known Coltrane material (“My Favorite Things,” “Impressions,” and “Greensleeves”), there is a breathtaking feature for Dolphy’s bass clarinet on “When Lights Are Low,” and the only known non-studio recording of Coltrane’s composition “Africa,” that includes bassist Art Davis.

WITCH
‘Zango’
(Desert Daze Sound) LP $48

Zango is the first album in nearly 40 years from Zamrock icons WITCH, out now on Desert Daze Sounds. The record marks an astonishing return from the Zambian group, equalling the now storied legacy of their back catalog and reaffirming the relevance of the Zamrock movement they helped pioneer in the early 70s.

Zango retains the hallmarks of the Zamrock sound, effortlessly blending proto-metal and hard rock riffs with Afrobeat and funk rhythms, while also re-energising the sound for a modern era. The record brilliantly utilises current day Zambian stars Theresa Ng’ambi, Hanna Tembo and Sampa The Great to complement bandleader Emmanuel “Jagari” Chanda, who at age 71 sounds as invigorated as he did in the band’s infancy.

What remains steadfast in WITCH’s new era is the countercultural spirit of the music, no less urgent in this current political climate as when they were fighting authoritarianism and economic collapse in the 70s and 80s. On Zango’s closing track, “Message from WITCH”, Jagari distills the core ethos of the band into a final credo, stating that the band “unites beliefs/Conquers xenophobia/It laughs at hate speech/Ends sexism/It erases homophobia/Shatters antisemitism/Embraces every race.”

On Zango, WITCH proves yet again that music as a form of resistance remains the perfect antidote to the enduring injustice that has simmered away throughout the band’s absence, making their return all the more vital.

JAYDA G
‘Guy’
(Ninja Tune) LP $58

Jayda G, the Grammy-nominated writer, producer, DJ, environmental toxicologist, campaigner and broadcaster, is set to return with her new full length album ‘Guy’. Co-produced with Jack Peñate (who has previously worked with the likes of SAULT, David Byrne and Adele), with contributions from Lisa-Kaindé Diaz (of Ibeyi), Ed Thomas (Stormzy, Nia Archives, Jorja Smith) and more.

The new album ‘Guy’ brings Jayda’s own voice and words more prominently into focus than ever before, across 13 tracks that draw on her House, Disco, RnB and Soul roots while emphasizing her pop songwriting sensibilities, interspersed with archival recordings of her late father, the eponymous William Richard Guy.

AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE
‘A Trip To Bolgatanga’
(On-U Sound) LP $52

African Head Charge return to On-U Sound with their first new album in twelve years. Titled A Trip To Bolgatanga, the recordings are led by founder member Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, with close friend and co-conspirator Adrian Sherwood once again at the controls. A Trip to Bolgatanga is a stunning return, bringing together the talents of two masters who, after a hiatus, have created a rich album brimming with ideas and executed with finesse.

A Trip To Bolgatanga is a musical journey to Bonjo’s current hometown in north Ghana. A psychedelic travelogue across the landscape featuring their trademark hand percussion and group chanting augmented with rumbling bass, mutated horns, dubbed out effects, wild wah-wah, haunted voodoo dancehall, synthetic swells, disco congas, tumbling layers of electronic effects, blues-inflected woodwind, and funky organ. As with every On-U Sound production, each repeated listen reveals fresh detail, and its power won’t be really understood until heard on a big system, when it’ll reduce all competition to rubble.

ALTHEA & DONNA
‘Uptown Top Ranking’
(Virgin) LP $58

The ultimate ‘one-hit-wonders’, Uptown Top Ranking was a surprise International No. 1 smash hit single for the teenage due Althea and Donna. Entranced by Trinity’s hit ‘Three Piece Suit’, they wrote a ‘reply’ song – Uptown Top Ranking, which they cut for Joe Gibbs.

The album features the cream of Jamaica’s reggae musicians – ‘The Riddim Twins’ (Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare) gives the music the fat rhythms, while the legendary group of players, The Revolutionaries – the sublime horn section of Tommy McCook, Vin Gordon, and Herman Marquis; guitarist Earl “Chinna” Smith and keyboard player Bernard Harvey, provide the icing on the cake.

Despite the teenage girls’ lack of experience, this is a fabulous collection of roots reggae that swings from intense moody appeals to Jah, to brightly upbeat pop songs, and the Revolutionaries’ outstanding contribution deserves the recognition it never received at the time.The title track has been covered many times, notably by Bristol trip-hoppers Portishead, in the late-’90s. This reissue includes two bonus tracks – It Mek, an album out-take unreleased at the time, and Going To Negril, a 12” single, also from 1978.

RAHAAN PRESENTS THE ONES
‘We Are The Ones / Fire / Forever’
(BBE) EP $40

In the debut EP ‘We Are The Ones/Fire/Forever’, Chicago DJ legend Rahaan collaborates with an incredibly talented group of musicians, including Marcus J. Austin on lead vocals, Nancy Clayton on backing vocals, Carnell C. Newbill (also known as Spike Rebel) on keyboards and backing vocals, Todd Swope on guitar, and Lou Terry on bass.

Together, they create a 3-track EP that perfectly showcases Rahaan’s production skills and the musical talents of the entire group. Rahaan’s experience and expertise as a DJ and producer are evident in each track, with grooves that are sure to keep the dancefloor moving.

ALICE CLARK

THE SOUL SURFERS & SHAWN LEE
‘Move On Up / Wait A Minute’
(Spasibo) 7″ $20

These 2 tunes were recorded in 2018 – one at Moscow’s studio Magnetone during Shawn’s visit for the movie premiere about his previous recording with The Soul Surfers. And another tune was recorded distantly – by The Soul Surfers at their HQ in Nizhniy Novgorod and by Shawn in London at his studio called The Shop. We really think this collab is very productive and soon at our instagram you can see some clips of the composing and recording process!

INSTORE ANNOUNCEMENT

FRIDAY 6PM July 14th

B sharp

FREE ENTRY ALL AGES GET DOWN

LO-LIFE! draws on the work of West African giants such as Ebo Taylor and William Onyeabor as well as psychedelic troubadors like Rodriguez. Immy’s sound, which he describes as “lo-fi highlife” is a synthesis of his Ghanaian roots and his own experiences growing up in coastal Australia. The album was recorded with an all star band including members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo and The Senegambian Jazz Band.

Immy comes from a long line of traditional Ghanaian musicians. His father Kojo Noah Owusu is a master drummer from the Ashanti kingdom of Ghana, and his grandfather Koo Nimo is the leading folk musician of Palm Wine music, or Hilife music of Ghana.

Out through the good people of HOPE STREET RECORDINGS. This event will take place on the lands of the Wurrundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. WE pay respects to the elders past present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

So excited to announce our next in-store signing / hang out / DJ set / general good times with two incredible artists from Europe — on Thursday 15th June at 5:30pm. Featuring:

Nabihah Iqbal — is a musician, producer, DJ and broadcaster from London. Her debut album, Weighing of the Heart was released via Ninja Tune in December 2017, and we’ll have copies of her new one — ‘Dreamer‘ (also on Ninja Tune) — which ultimately signals a shift, elevating Nabihah’s work to new heights as she adds new colours to her palette.

Habibi Funk — runs a label that highlights eclectic sounds from the Arab world. Mostly these are FUNKY sounds, and he will be playing a few of them and some hidden gems on the decks here at Northside Records.

Get in early to feel the funk, meet and greet, and get a record SIGNED by a DREAMER.
