Incognito's "Transatlantic RPM" - Release on Shanachie Records July 27th ['Lowdown' Stream]

Shanachie Entertainment is thrilled to be releasing new music from pioneering and groundbreaking UK groove-masters Incognito. As the legendary band embarks on its third decade of creating mind blowing, hit-making classics, they have outdone themselves with their stellar new recording, Transatlantic R.P.M, to be released on July 27, 2010. Joined by an all-star lineup that includes the iconic Chaka Khan, R&B/jazz/soul diva and longtime Incognito vocalist Maysa, spoken word goddess Ursula Rucker, Motown legend Leon Ware and renowned Italian singer Mario Biondi, Incognito delivers what promises to be one of the musical highlights of the Summer. Transatlantic R.P.M makes the world seem beautifully connected and harmonious.

Incognito mastermind Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick reflects on his 30 year journey and shares how Transatlantic R.P.M was born:

Being a teenager in 1970’s London, you could not escape the music. It was all around you. Every pub had live music and there were several record shops on every main road. Basements and garages doubled up as rehearsal rooms for eclectic musicians and energetic teenagers getting their kicks playing Rock & Roll, Reggae, Ska, Folk, Jazz, Funk and Soul music, all preparing to take on the world! There was a buzz in every record store. People searching through the crates to catch up on the latest offerings from across the pond. I’d be looking for the names… Harvey Mason, Steve Gadd, Ralph McDonald… “Hey heard the new one from Rufus & Chaka Khan?” In another corner funky folks would be boogying down to BT Express and Eddie Russ beneath huge sets of headphones and exploding afros! Long haired students with patches on their jeans trawling through the Prog Rock section. That was the scene and I was hooked, line and sinker… those vinyls transported across the Atlantic had me buzzing like a junky looking for his next hit!
