A tasty treat from DJ A-Trak – and a nice little 4-track EP for Fool's Good! "Tuna Melt" features a Tommy Trash – and it starts out fairly low key before ratcheting up the electro funk atmosphere as it rolls along. EP also includes "Landline" with GTA, Jumbo with... read more

Carl Craig meets Tony Allen – in a wonderfully warm remix of Allen's "Kilode"! Craig really helps add a lot to the tune here – taking the strong vocals and forceful rhythms of the original, and inflecting them with a slight bit of spacier soul – not nearly as cold or... read more

A great one from Fanga – a fresh new track that wasn't on their Natural Juice album, presented here in a super-extended version! "Dounya" is an Afro Funk jam that runs for over 20 minutes long in both parts – split over two sides of the single, and featuring some great work... read more

A spacey bit of 70s jazz gets some great mixing here from Finnish studio maestro Didier – and the result is a tune that's almost as dark as some of his original work under the Didier's Sound Spectrum banner! "Ufology" begins with lots of weird analogue electronics – clearly... read more

Massive work from Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – a combo who manage to pack more music into a 10" single than most groups do a full LP! "Ayo" is a romping groovers that has plenty of bumping bass and drum rolls on the bottom – then lots of the group's really wonderful horns... read more

"Bamba" has a great skittish grooves – contemporary Afro Funk, but a lot more stripped-down – so that the percussion and bass are really taking the lead, and providing a perfect foil for the atmospheric vocals of the tune! This quality really continues on "Walo",... read more

Some of the sweetest work we've heard so far from Spinnerty – an EP that really just features three versions each of two tracks, but served up in ways that work together like a mini-suite of sound! "53 Pickup" has some great live drums – which really crackle alongside the... read more
