Moody beats and surprisingly soulful vocals from Child Of Lov – with solid songs, too – which is ultimately what takes this self-titled record a substantial step deeper than some of his fellow atmospheric producer/beatmaker peers! Hazy, gritty hip hop-learned beats with spacey dynamics to spare! Damon Albarn makes a low key appearance on one song and co-produces a few others – and the album also includes an appearance by the allmighty MF Doom. Includes "Call Me Up", "Heal", "One Day" with Damon Albarn, "Living The Circle", "Give Me", "Go With The Wind", "Owl" feat Doom, "Fly", "Warrior" and Give It To The People".

Cyclist rides in with Bones In Motion – a joint release by Stones Throw and Leaving Records – an icy cool mix of early electro and housey influences with grittier, more experimental touches! The hypnotic approach and 80s era synth atmosphere bring Tour De France era Kraftwerk to mind – which sure makes the name Cyclist an apt one – and whether the name is a Kraftwerk nod or not, there's a lot more going on here! It's ultimately quite unique and all Cyclist's own. There's a hazy digital fog hanging over these instrumentals that give it a far fuzzier vibe than most 80s electronics-inspired sounds of the post millenium years – plus a thoroughly modern take on avant sampler dynamics. Distorted as they might be, there's usually a compelling, danceable beat underneath, too! Titles include "Feel Beauty", "Mangel", "Bones In Motion", "Sheen", "Makeshift", "Stove", "The March", "Visions", "Fleet Meeting", Black Train", "Another Exploitation", "

Orgone's second full length for Ubiquity and it's a monster – taking a rough, rugged, and uber soulful live funk vibe into a deeper and even livelier realm! The group's sound is more finely honed from a couple of years of hard touring – and it's paid off wonderfully. The sound is more sharply focused, but with swagger to spare on both the funky instrumental workouts and showpieces for soulful singer Fanny Franklin. From sun toasted Cali funk & soul to strains of classic Afrobeat, boogaloo and and funk rock (the guitar sound is terrific on this one) – they nail everything their shooting for, and pull it all together in tight package that's ultimately all their own. A total win for Orgone and Ubiquity Records. Titles include "The Last Fool", "Crazy Queen", "Give It Up", "Cali Fever", "Overtime", "Mantana", "The Only One", "Doing Me Wrong", "The Cleaner", "It's Time Tonight" and "Sandstorm".

Thickly atmospheric mood music with a delicate melodicism flowing underneath – a brilliant set from Gonjasufi – following up the Sufi And A Killer collabo with Gaslamp Killer and a solid remix album! Described as a "mini album" (it's got 10 tracks and runs about 25 minutes), MU.ZZ.LE is ultimately just as impressive as his other couple of releases on Warp – whether it's intended to be considered a proper second album or not. Murky, psychedelic beatcraft that's hypnotic as can be – with fuzzed out elements balanced by bits of piano and other lighter particles. It's also song based, if loosely so. Unique work from a hugely talented figure whose no doubt going to be a making great music for years to come! Includes "White Picket Fence", "Feedin' Birds", "Nikels And Dimes", "Rubberband", "Venom", "Timeout", "Skin", "The Blame", "Blacksuit" and "Sniffin'".
