YATHA BHUTA JAZZ COMBO (ONRA)
All City
MP3 Download // £6.99
FLAC Download // £7.99
Cat. Number: ACYBLPx1
"12 track spiritual, deep jazz LP from Parisian producer Onra and friend - fellow producer, composer and arranger - Buddy Sativa. Combining as the Yatha Bhuta Jazz Combo this LP may be a surprise to followers of Onra, while Buddy Sativa will be known to some via his own 2011 jazz leaning LP "Deus Ex Machina" on Favorite Records. There they collaborated on their first jazz track - "Indica". Pleased with the results they carried on, keeping it simple and adhering to straightforward play-more-jazz stylings they have crafted this LP over sessions sandwiched between … Read more
Anstam strips back the showier complexities of his 50 Weapons releases on the cruder, concentrated brutalism and funq of 'FragmentA' for Dublin's All City Records. Aimed roundly at the dancefloor and practically DJ friendly, the German producer's re-brand results a throbbing techno with wickedly skewiff melodic dissonance on 'I Still Have The Photographs', and tumbling breakbeat rave essence in the glorious AFXian qualities of 'Purple Clouds', whilst 'A Triangular Patch of Lip' knuckles down to bruising, whipsmart industrial 4/4 sounding like Blawan-meets-Autechre, taps-aff in a smoke-filled basement. Recommended!

OM UNIT X DAEDELUS X OM'MAS KEITH
All City
MP3 Download // £1.70

Cat. Number: ACLA10X7X1R
Om Unit reworks Om'mas Keith and Daedelus trax for All City. Face up is a warped, sci-fi re-vision of Daedelus' 'Vous Ites Stereo' riding hoverbass and night-scope synthlines. Flipside it's Keith's smooove bass slyde 'Girl Is A Player' flipped with wide-ass synth lines and road-ready 808s.
Fruitiest synthfunk nuts from All City Dublin's West Coast player, Devonwho. The 'Strangebrew' EP's his 2nd proper solo jaunt for the label, and comes prepped with a juicy remix from San Fran's B Bravo. Original tracks keep a nice and crafty tension between lots of loose layered percussion and sweet washes of sun-drenched synth colours. There's some ace moments to be found in 'Sleet's tilted pitches and the almost Footworking deftness of 'Cactus', while B Bravo adds strafing vocoder and tight drum chops to the slyding funk of 'Strangebrew'. One for the Dam Funk heads.
With ace trax under his belt for Eglo, Dub Organizer and Hoya: Hoya, Manchester's Irish ex-pat drops two piano-heavy House bombs for AllCity. The man obviously knows his carrots when it comes to soul-flowing grooves, as evidenced on the chunky, New Jersey-styled clip of 'We're Wrong', stirring up classic-sounding early '90s keys and MK-style vocal chops over skippy, swinging drums and booty-nutrifying bass. Flipside 'From The Start' plays deeper with filtered vox and silky keys beckoning bodies into an infectiously funked-up swing.
Another choice entry from LA's Gifted & Blessed on Dublin's All City imprint. We've been consistently impressed with his output over the years and this one is no different, striking into squashed, wide-bassed Electro Boogie with a stripped down and efficiently funky aesthetic on '7 in 24', while 'Dogon' comes off like fellow West Coast head SFV Acid gone febrile, all squirming layers of 303 and sharp, pinging metallic delays. For those who don't want their House too straight, or their Boogie too naughty; this is mint.
Long-awaited follow-up to Onra's much loved collection of Eastern-sampling HipHop productions. In case you weren't aware, Onra aka Arnaud Bernard has mixed French/Vietnamese heritage, and it was during a trip to Vietnam in the mid '00s when he picked up the crackly vinyl source material for the first batch of beats, spinning exotic pop, folk and classical records into Dilla-esque instrumental gold. There was obviously an abundance of heavy source material, hence this extensive set of 32 beat nuggets, flipping their strange (well, at least to these western ears) tunings and bittersweet melo… Read more

Robust moves from XXXY, quite possibly his strongest yet, delivered by the excellent All City label. Face-up, 'Kerpow' works a lean and mean 808 groove with punchy, offset bass synced to Housey chords for a vibe somewhere between Ramadanman's 'Work It' and a more radged Floating Points. Big tune! On the other side, 'Down Wit U' dips with a tougher Electro flex, nodding to the same Miami and Detroit reference points as Instra:mental and the Autonomic boize, but with that crucial, ruffed-up UK instinct. Tip!
All City draw a surprise ace from their sleeve with a split platter from Sa-Ra's Shafiq Husayn and Om'Mas Keith. Shafiq drops a fractal blend of beats, frayed vocals and loose electro-jazz vibes on 'DNA - The Splice Mix', for that mad psyched LA sound. Flipside Om'Mas takes it to the club with bubbling future R&B vibes on 'The Girl Is a Player', flipping the typical HipHop player thing on its freshly crimped weave. Slick and very crafty. Includes instrumental and acapella. Check!
FALTYDL
Make It Difficult / Jack Your Job
All City
MP3 Download // £1.70FLAC Download // £2.50
Cat. Number: ACNY12x1
Falty DL continues his 2011 takeover with two dead smart sides for All City. It seems like not a week has gone by this year without at least one or two of his remixes catching our attention, and most importantly the quality has been consistently high. With 'Make It Difficult' he again nails that black art of syncretic groove composition: constructing rhythms that sound like a DJ synching two loose but compatible tracks. In this case, it might actually be a three deck mix, creating a swingsome lather of vintage NY House patterns and breakbeats with supreme dexterity. Flipsi… Read more
Restlessly kinetic Bass trax from the West Country's Tessela. A-side 'Slugger' does the 2-step swerve between daft vocal samples and sharply contoured drums, kinda like a drunken Falty DL. Flipside, 'Subway' and 'Push' lock-off an old-skool rave-infected swing with droning subs and dubbed-out stabs reminding of Andrea's Daphne outings.
After taking two steps forward with their ace LA series, All City step back to '95/'96 with an unearthed beat tape from the Bronx accredited to The Midnight EEz. As the story goes, All City co-founder Splyce was given a mix tape outside New York's legendary Fat Beats store by two aspiring producers who were keen to spread word of their production work outside their homeland. Fast forward fifteen years and after recent house move, said tape turned up again, distinguished only by a pager number and their name 'The Midnight EEz'. Safe to say, the pager number doesn't work any more … Read more
All City complete their highly collectible LA series with dope turns from individual beat maestros, Exile and Free The Robots. Following his most recent opus, the acclaimed 'Radio' album, Exile rolls up the oxymoronic boom-bap of 'Distopian Utopia' next to the exotic Arabic samples of 'PCP Laced Beedies' - a big joint for all Gaslamp Killer fiends - plus the MPC-carved, downbeat psyche arrangement of 'Love for Sell/Bots Have Feelings' and strange head-pressure of 'Dawn Of The Nothing' on some blunted RZA tip. Free The Robots' side features three more robust cuts, the '60s ps… Read more
The penultimate chapter in All City's LA series introduces us to the esoteric soul beats of Coleman and Ta'Raach. Mochilla label owner and multi-talented photographer/DJ/producer bloke Coleman drops a highly impressive suite of four sumptuous neo-soul/HipHop, from the slumpy bob of 'Earthquake' and the boogie bump of 'Black Bush' featuring supple bass from Steven "Thundercat" Bruner and lush keys from Cedric "i_Ced" Norah, to the abstract beatless vortex of 'Travels (For My Mother)' and dizzy soul on 'Write Thing' featuring Fatima. On the flip, Poo-Bah contributor T'Raach brings the … Read more
Martyn and Mike Slott collude on the first 12" of a collaborative series from All City. We'd guess there's a few of you breaking out in sweats already looking at the lineup, and the music should justify your giddiness. 'All Nights' is a seriously good-looking swagger-House riddim, all buff dub chords, rumping subs and a deadly percussive palette of slinking bells, slicing snares and densely padded kicks. If the Martyn influence is clear in that one, then 'Pointing Fingers' belies a fair input from Mike Slott, set to a grooving mid-tempo swing with cosmic harp and synth interplay on a Flying Lotus tip. Heavy.
KRYSTAL KLEAR
Tried For Your Love (Hudson Mohawke Mix)
All City
MP3 Download // £2.95FLAC Download // £3.95
Cat. Number: ACKK12x1
Fresh boogie-house heat from man-of-the-moment Krystal Klear, currently on a mission with tracks out for Hoya:Hoya, Dub Organizer, and now All City. Backed up with a Hudson Mohawke remix, 'Tried For Love' enters that dreamy late '80s zone with sparkling plastic synths and swung soul rhythms while 'Boogie Wan' slips into romantical mode with a slow jam for the lovers. 'Dekryptic' is the one you need to watch out for though, bringing it pure '86 styles with full-on soul-controlling synth licks. Out on his own tip entirely, Hudson Mohawke's remix opens into electro-acoustic boogie business before dropping into a Haç-ready piano-house bomb.
All City take it way out west again, presenting Mike Gao and Tokimonsta on the eighth LA Series split. Gao aka Nightprowl has produced a number of albums for Galapagos4 MCs Qwel, Mestizo, Robust and Offwhyte, but take the spotlight here with five beat nuggets ranging from blunted 8-Bit chop-ups like 'California' to the discombobulated downbeat rave of 'Don't Tell Me' and the dynamic compressions of 'Loving Night'. Jennifer Lee aka Tokimonsta follows her recent debut album with the hazy downbeat sunset vibes of 'Alive' and the even dreamier 'Last Nights Blurry Memories', plus the assured swagger of 'Park Walks'.
The 7th installment in All City's highly collectable Los Angeles series - aka the one y'all been waiting for! Two tracks from the don, Dam Funk, on the A-side, and three from the hugely respected Computer Jay on the flip, with both producers repping for their city in heavy style. Dam starts up with the nonchalant groove of 'Night Stroll', conjuring imagery of a neon-lit LA street scene glowing against the night sky, 40 in one hand, blunt in the other, followed by a spot of sugar-sprinkled sex funk on '3012 Luv Affair'. On the flip it's all about Computer Jay, cooling out on the … Read more
Onra's boogie killer 'The One' feat. T3 of Slum Village backed with not one, but two remixes from Detroit's Waajeed! The cut in question originally appeared on his 'Long Distance' LP, surely one of the years finest Boogie-indebted albums, and also features the bonus vibes of an untitled killer sounding like BoC going all New Jack slump on your ass. Waajeed is the perfect candidate for a rerubs on the flip, offering two down slow and dirty grooves etched with piquant 80s synths and punchy HipHop drums respectively.
Another supremely diverse and deadly 10" straight outta LA, this time pairing Daedelus and Teebs. With the super high quality levels of the series so far, we wouldn't expect anything less than top class from Daedelus and he delivers in style. His is a six-track mini suite of endearing sketches, rolling from a toxic wonky jungle spillage in 'Fates Say' to golden era hiphop beat-works on 'Old Hearts' and breezy, mutant Tropicalia in 'Vous êtes Stéréo'. Teebs (of Teebs & Jackhigh) is in equally charming and freeform mode on the flip, roaming from Hawaiian steel guitar psych-out, Fly Lo st… Read more
Onra makes good on the promise of the 'Long Distance' 12" with a full LP of greazily impressionistic electro-soul. If that taster 12" was for the club, this album is for the ride to the club, whatever happens inside and the slow-roll home, packed out with 20 tracks of romantic boogie and pressurised slo-jamz. Adding to the funkmospherics we've got sexy vocals from Oliverdaysoul, Reggie B, and Slum Village's T3, all sounding crisply authentic and colourful. The album opens with previous All City single, the badass 'My Comet', before swamping us in buttered bass slides, fizzing neon synths and very we… Read more

Number 5 of All City's L.A. series is quite simply their best by some distance. For this installment they invite celebrated arranger, composer and producer Carlos Niño together with singer Gaby Hernandez on one side, while GB aka Gifted & Blessed contributes the other. Carlos y Gaby's give three tracks roaming through levitating Latin-infused synth pastures on 'Happy Summer Solstice', slow-baked rhodes chords and ascending strings with 'In The Whirl Emote' and deep flanged psyche instrumental in 'Sugar Flowers' for that sun-stroked LA effect. On the flip GB gives fur… Read more
