DARU/REGGIE B - Future Music (4 Lux Holland) Comentários: 4lux is proud to present this first album on 4lux White, sublabel to 4lux, dedicated to soulful beats, hip hop and leftfield electronica. Future music is a mixture of hip hop, deep and infectious soul and funk, with powerful songwriting. This album is a very diverse one, and a good example of today’s nu-ground soul and hip hop. This will definitely appeal to all the beatheads out there. in clone [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

ALLEN, Tony - Kilode (Waajeed reworks) (Honest Jon's) Comentários: More Tony Allen remixes on the wonderful Honest Jons imprint - this time courtesy of Slum Village and the Platinum Pied Pipers don Waajeed, who re-starts T's tough Afrobeat protest song from scratch. This is jazzy and soulful, percussive and a little bit bruk, with stirring singing by Zaki Ibrahim, sounding not altogether unlike vintage London-style broken beat crossed with a twilight Sade vibe. Very nice indeed. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

WILLIS, Nicole/THE SOUL INVESTIGATORS/VARIOUS - Keep Reachin' Up Remixed (Above The Clouds) Comentários: Brooklyn born Helsinki based Nicole Willis is back with the deliciously titled Soul Investigators, and this time round she’s all mixed up.As the title suggests ‘Keep Reachin’ Up Remixed’ is a reworked version of Willis’ 2005 smash ‘Keep Reachin’ Up’ – the album that propelled her into the spotlight and got heads like Giles Peterson and Mr Scruff talking. The dusty funk soul sound of the original remains on much of the album but it’s been pushed in a diverse set of direction from Hammond-funk to electronica, via dub-step, jazz, house and reggae. An Aaron Jerome, BBE nu-blood, mix of ‘Feeling Free’ opens up the album with a smooth jazzy feel while Breakin’ Bread’s Rob Life serves us a break heavy version of the title track a la DJ Format. Remixing duties for ‘If It Ain’t Love’ fall to Mr Scruff who drops some cheeky flute samples and reworks the drums. ‘No One’s Going to Love You

DOE, Ernie K - Here Come The Girls (Soul Jazz) Comentários: Just in time for the party season, Ernie K. Doe's massive 'Here Come The Girls' (you know, that one from the Boots advert) drops in a big funky way. A great tune in it's own right but absolutely perfect for the 'floor thanks to the advert exposure. Hit! in phonica [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

JAMES, Jose - Blackeyedsusan (Brownswood UK) Comentários: West London's IG CULTURE reworks this song from jazz vocalist JOSE JAMES into a killer 4 to the floor dance cut. House beats with a mix of electro carnival and broken beat influences. Funky as all get out. The flip, "IG's BRUK 4 LOVE REMIX", is a straight up broken beat cut. Limited white 12". in groovedis [ Para Ouvir/Samples1 ] [ 2 ]

SPACEK, Steve - I Wanna Piece Of Ur Luv (Jazzy Sport Japan) Comentários: Lush hitech soul tracks; again a cutting edge production with out-there sounds to support the soothing voice from Steve Spacek. The A side comes with the easy 'I Wanna Piece You' as vocal and instrumental mix. The flip has the offbeat 'URUB', co produced by Mark Pritchard with it's high end spaced out strings; also comes as vocal and instrumental. Limited 12 from the japanese Jazzy Sport camp!
