Serene deep house electronics from a new kid on the house block. Gigi Jikia aka HVL makes a subtle impression with three tracks cooly ranging from the effortless, Mojuba-esque strut of 'Flats' on the front, to a more dreamy, spaced-out mid-tempo groover 'Whirlpool', and the plush dub-house stroke of 'Searching' on the back.

Swaggering, Afro-beat-inflected tech-house from the German duo backed with dub-discofied Von Spar remix. 'The Session 2' original progresses nicely with elastic bassline, flighty pipes and electrified guitar licks tucked tight-in-the-pocket. Cologne's Von Spar give a more organic, loping dub-disco re-groove on the turn.

Proper label debut from North East England-based singer-songwriter. Dead sentimental, folksy and maudlin stuff with a hint of chamber-like atmosphere.

**Ten tracks tracing the "sound of Gospel through the Disco and Boogie eras" courtesy of The Clark Sisters, Sharon Johnson, Dan Greer, Ricky Womack, Elbernita 'Twinkie' Clark, Kristle, The Young Delegation… Double vinyl in gatefold jacket** "Gospel music has often followed the prominent trends in secular music, probably in the hope of widening its audience by giving the subject matter a sprinkling of cool. In the 60s it happened with R&B and then funk-flavoured gospel, the 70s brought sweet soul crossovers, and by 1975 the sounds of early disco had started to… Read more

Joe Goddard, AlunaGeorge and Falty DL buff up Dirty Projectors for the dancefloor. Hot Chip's Joe Goddard gives a proper posh dancepop backing to the original vocal, at times hinting at some kinda Rowland/Guetta big room moment; AlunaGeorge cosset the same vocal in bubbling hip hop beats and clinically quirky pitching; Falty DL has more psychedelic, lush romantic intentions, reorganising blooming harmonies and swirling synthlines to a bristling broken beat rhythm.

The instrumental music on ‘Walking Field’ was created with acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, tambourines, toy pianos, and other sonic tools to create a stripped-down, warm living room atmosphere. The music that sprang from these sessions, simultaneously exultant and cerebral, took the duo into unexpected territory. While the emotional intensity of their ot… Read more

Oosh; a proper glam garage trident from the Sic Alps straight to your pop heart. 'She's On Top' is an almost giddy high of jaunty riffage, perfectly recorded percussion and sexed-up vocals beamed direct from the '70s; B-side 'Carrie Jean' works stalking bassline and unpredictable, angular riffs with a noirish vibe and stomping drums; 'Biz Bag' shovels coal in the engine and cuts loose with inimitably-timed stop-start sputter.
