Flevans - The 28th Devil
(CD/Digital) Tru Thoughts TRUCD208, 2009-12-14

Hot on the heels of his irresistible third album, 27 Devils, which came out in May, multi-instrumentalist Flevans brings you The 28th Devil, a devilish collection of remixes, bringing the melting pot of styles and sounds, glorious songs and dancefloor bombs on 27 Devils into even more danceable, club-directed territory. With a serious level of party bang for your buck, this 13-track remixes album features reworks by the likes of dancefloor rocking label-mates Hint and Azaxx; Regal (Wiseguys/Bronx Dogs); Vono Box (Jazz & Milk); and serial collaborator, remixer and 'next-big-thing' Lack Of Afro; as well as a handful of inspired Flevans remixes of tracks by other artists including rising soul sensation Kylie Auldist. A companion piece to the 27 Devils album, this remixes collection is a perfect party record, injecting Flevans' unshakable dancefloor-directed pop/funk productions with a dose of other flavours, from deep disco to 2-step.

Kinny - Back Street Lust Remixes
(Digital single) Tru Thoughts TRUDD010, 2009-09-14

Fiery, seductive and laden with unforgettable hooks, Back Street Lust featuring Diesler is the upcoming second single from Canadian-born opera singer-turned-soul and funk sensation Kinny's stunning Idle Forest Of Chit Chat album, which is out now on Tru Thoughts. In addition to the lead track, this new digital-only single comes loaded with extra treats including two previously unreleased remixes. The killer Azaxx Remix extends the original into a quirky dancefloor odyssey with flavours of the enormous Latin dancefloor beats of his Exotic Delight Bay album, which won over club and radio DJs everywhere on its release in March. The critically acclaimed Stonephace are also on board, with a characteristically genre-defying remix of the soaringly melodic Hint-produced song, Afro Love Forest. This single release also boasts the Original and Azaxx Remix instrumentals for Back Street Lust, as well as Kinny's captivating a capella versions of both tracks, and the Original instrumental cut for Afro Love Forest.

(2xCD/Double vinyl with Double CD) Tru Thoughts TRUCD194/TRULP194, 2009-06-08

Tru Thoughts' first Shapes compilation of 2009 is a rather massive 29 track double CD collection, featuring a selection of current highlights, remixes and exclusive tracks from acts including Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, Bonobo, Belleruche, The Bamboos, Nostalgia 77 Sessions featuring Keith and Julie Tippett, Kinny, Stonephace and all the excellent artists currently signed to the roster, of which there are far too many to mention in one coherent sentence. Suffice to say, over the two discs - arranged into 'home listening' and 'DJ' modes - there is plenty of great music for your ears and dancefloors, from minimal soul through downtempo beats and lush jazzy vocal tracks to floor-filling basslines.
