Savannah - Mr Beatnick - Don't Be Afraid
I think it's nice when you watch someone find themselves from afar, not in a voyeuristic weird flurry of perverse drunken self exploration, but more in a recognising when someone's having fun with the music they're making type of way. Beatnick's latest four-track 12" exemplifies that, all analogue simplicity and playful melodies. EP closer 'Blue Dream' and 'Symbiosis' are the picks, both being an example of his slow stuttery, knowledgeable house stylings.

Red Hot - Cappo & Nappa - King Underground Records
Oh maaan, what a fantastic piece of music - a beautiful swell of strings, ringing rhodes, sublime jazzy touches, Cappo really showing what a unique voice he has and Nappa proving yet again that as a producer he's a great LISTENER as well as creator. Wonderful stuff that seems to bring summer on with each surging second. Lap it up and hold tight for the soon-come 'Rebel Base' album.

Not Afraid - Donkey Rollers - Fusion
Raw hardstyle trio Donkey Rollers return with a new EP on Fusion, keeping the beats rough and abrasive. This features a great male vocal by DV8, with a heavy metal vibe in the main break, keeping an eerie undertone with clever synth lines, before dropping into anthemic, twisted melodies. Essential hard beats!

Deadly Poison - Sanys - Downfall Theory
Russian producer Sanys delivers his most impressive release to date. Like his previous output, the production is rough and ready, but there's a powerful swing to each track. 'Hired Guns' is a pumping affair, powered by a grimy, acidic bass and a relentless groove. 'Grab Them Back In' is more stepping, as metallic drums close in on a swaggering chord sequence. Sanys shows his love of jack/ghetto on the howling siren-led 'Plain Rude' and reverts to the style of 'Hired Guns' for the dense, intense shuffle of 'Down & Dirty'.
