>> Funky Juice
bio: The label was born in 1997 in Rome, founded by the producer / dj /musician Roby "jazzman" Colella a.k.a Roby J.C.. It started as a small project and suddenly with the success of the production of the "Estrangera" track by Jazzedelic (Remixed by the famous DJ SPILLER), became a very important label in the Italian panorama. After reaching the PP sales in Germany and with the Funky juice direct distribution efforts, the label start to get well-know in all Europe. Funky juice records in the last few years has been concentrate to develop and distribute his products and artists in Japan, Far East and U.S.A.After 10 years presences at the MIDEM in Cannes "Funky juice records" had the chance to meet and work with all of the best and respected nternational indipendent labels of the scene, like to name a few: F-com, Wagram, Pulver rec, King international Japan, Unique, Irma, Family Affair, Cinevox, Zomba, Compost..........Sometimes we also have been approached by major company (Sony Japan, Warner Germany, BMG Italy) around the world for licensing our well know tracks.Two years ago one of the tracks of our main group Barrio Jazz Gang called: Chok-a-Blok Avenue" featured in a
variety of international high quality compilations and was listed in all the specialized playlists like the Compost records one, as well as the Stereo deluxe. In the "Saint germain Cafe des pres vol. 1-cd" (wagram) we had the chance to develop our artist in all the world. The first 4 tracks of their album (Spectrum) featured in almost 25 international label compilations that of course are our fun as well as very good friends. Our passion for the sixties and seventies hot-Jazz and for the modern club-music create our own sounds and the electronic elements are always fused together with analog an acoustic live recordings-set. You can feel it in almost all our productions, this is our main target, as well reaching the listeners with something special and very up-front. Last acquisitions are the very talented LED project and the great vocalist Pauline London who has already featured in many BJG productions. If you want to know more about all our artists (Roby J.C.

Bubbling out of the Brazilian Avenues with an infectious beat, sweeping across the Caribbean our music evoke the spells of far-off places, exticing nights and extravagant days. We been inspired every day by African Rhythms as well, Cuban Jazz, Rhumba, Samba and bossa nova, but in relation with new spice and flavor added......a tingling, pulsating call to dance. Our Nu-beats are wild, free and expressive with savage attitude that suggests primitive rituals and passion under a sturry and tropical sky. We have every reason to believe that you will love our tunes, pls sit back, relax and enjoy the most original and exciting NuJazz with the Nu-Italian touch. PEACE.
