Very early music from Jimi Tenor – music from a movie that he directed himself – before moving on to conquer the worlds of soul, funk, and spiritual jazz! This set is much like Tenor's earliest albums under his own name – highly electronic, yet already something apart from the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Global grooves and soulful house blended to perfection by Ron Trent & co.'s Trinidadian Deep! "Native Travels" might be the spaciest jam here, with the keys prominent in the mix. "Lights Off" carries influences of funky fusion, but some some great, earthy Afro-Latin ... 12-inch, Vinyl record

Fast funky sounds from the Steal Vybe duo of Chris Forman and Damon "Mr Dizzy Fingers" Bennett – and a record that's overflowing with great guest help – from a lineup that includes Omar, Peven Everett, Kenny Bobien, Fertile Ground, Sara Devine, Ursula Rucker, Trizonna ... CD

Heady sounds from the Tru Thoughts label – served up here in one of their special Shapes collections – which always means a lot of special mixes and hard-to-find tracks! Tru Thoughts have been at the underground music game for years – and they've always had a fantastic ear for ... LP, Vinyl record album

A limited promo single – with two tracks from a forthcoming album by Cotonete! "Layla" has this slow-building mix of spiritual horns and a fuzzy guitar solo – almost as if Robert Fripp found himself recording for the Gondwana label – before the tune takes off with more ... 12-inch, Vinyl record

Sweet 80s grooves from Ourra – awash in all sorts of cool keyboards, from street electro-styled lines, to those with a darker European energy! The songs are all nice and tuneful, but also all instrumental – and are almost begging for vocals at times, because they're so darn catchy ... LP, Vinyl record album

The first Tricky LP, which along with Portishead, sort of established the blueprint for the whole mid 90's guy-with-sludgy-beats-meets-girl-vocalist trip hop genre. And like the Portishead LP, this one really stands up to the test of time, where all the imitators just don't. Truthfully though ... LP, Vinyl record album

A totally wonderful performance from Fila Brazilia – one that captures the group in a live setting, and showcases their funky instrumentation way more than some of their more beats-heavy work in the studio! In fact, the whole thing might come as something of a revelation – because ... CD

The mighty Louie Vega pays tribute to the New York scene that gave him a start – and which he helped transform with his classic club work of the past few decades! The set's a fantastic celebration of the spirit of disco, but is delivered with a very contemporary vibe – not straight ... LP, Vinyl record album

A fantastic new setting for the magnificent voice of Mario Biondi – a set that has the Italian crooner working alongside co-producer Kassin – who helps give Mario this very groovy take on Brazilian music! The style is mostly upbeat and soulful – a bit like the grooves on early ... CD

Kaidi Tatham hasn't given us many albums under his own name over the years – but each one is a great cause for celebration – as his musical vision is so fresh and bold, we're even more in love with Tatham in a full length setting, compared to his many 12" singles! The scope of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Laidback, messed-up funk from Tommy Guerrero – the kind of mostly-instrumental grooves that made him a revolutionary funky talent from the American underground! Tommy's not working in a live funk mode here, but he has a great way of mixing beats, samples, and other instrumentation at a level ... LP, Vinyl record album

An underground classic from the London scene – a record that was hugely important to us in the early days of Dusty Groove, and which is still completely tremendous all these many years later! At the time, the album was the sort of ambitious undertaking that nobody else would have done – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Death Valley is emblazoned on the cover, and portrayed inside the CD gatefold too – but the music here is more cosmic than earthy – served up in these warm washes of electro elements that are totally great – dreamily tripping over the landscape in a laidback yet soulful sort of ... CD

A brilliant extension of the Love set from Build An Ark – focusing on some of the more improvisational spirit that's integral to their cosmic groove! Love Part 2 is mix of intimate moments and soaring atmospherics from Carlos Nino, Miguel-Atwood Ferguson and the rest of the stellar ensemble, ... CD

A perfect title for a perfect record – especially given all the love we've felt from Build An Ark over the years! The album's a masterpiece through and through – easily the greatest statement ever from this already-amazing band – a contemporary ensemble, but one that we'd ... CD

The title's a great one here – as Gerardo Frisina has been one of the few contemporary artists trying to find a fresh voice for Latin Jazz – which he does beautifully by blending classic albums and a more current sense of club! The 2CD package brings together unreleased material with ... CD

An early classic from John Beltran – filled with the kinds of careful touches and deeper energy that instantly set him apart from the pack! At a time when few folks were going for higher ideas, Beltran was right out there bringing a new sense of spirit to club music – almost echoing ... LP, Vinyl record album
