Groove Assassin
Journeys EP (Nita Grooves)

Five funky tracks from the Groove Assassin for those who like to get down, with the big Afro-beats of 'Fulani's Groove' and the old school washes and bassline of 'Back To Windy City' nosing ahead of the rest.

Oliver Lang
Mad Cat/Dying To Live (Leaders of the New School)

Solid, high contrast double header from Lang, 'Mad Cat' striking the dense, dark, narco beats and the more elegant 'Dying To Live' providing warm melodies.

Ridney
At Night (Defected)

Meaty, beaty, big and bouncy; Ridney has it all sorted here, when it comes to combining Daft Punk's reversed effects with Richard Grey's wall of sound approach.

Willie Graff & Tuccillo
Give You Up (Freerange)

Another nudge towards disco for Freerange, with Willie Graff & Tuccillo turning in some nicely done deep house disco fusions, with fluid beats and neat, warm production.

Frivolous
Couples Therapy (Cadenza)

Reboot's version of 'My Consciousness' strips it down to more pure beats, while 'River's Fate' sounds like a Stella Artois commercial (in a good way).

Delano Feat Kristen Cummings
Feels So Right (Soda)

Some riffs and hooks do the rounds for so many years, that locating the original source becomes a real quest. ?Invariably, it'll be from the record before the one you think, and it'll have probably mutated several generations on from there. Such is the familiar refrain here, twisted and tweaked into something contemporary, but with that classic piano and bass combination beating resolutely at the heart of it, as Ms Cummings delivers the new old vocals for a new old favourite.
