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.

Lack Of Afro - My Groove - Your Move
(CD/LP) Freestyle Records FSRCD057, 2009-10-19
From starting to play the piano at the age of 7, through to picking up the alto sax, then being introduced to a drum kit, as well as plucking a few chords on the guitar, it's pretty safe to say that Adam Gibbons, aka Lack Of Afro, lives and breathes music. Taking it's cues from the heavy funk and soul of the 70s & combined with modern production ethics, the debut long player Press On delivered big style, with Adam playing virtually all the instruments himself. Hailed by iDJ magazine as "one of the greatest albums of the modern funk era", right from the start you hear an understanding of what works both on the dancefloor and at home. With My Groove, Your Move, the follow-up LP released on Freestyle this Autumn, Lack Of Afro looks set for world domination. Proper vocal tracks combine with a sound that stretches the funk to new limits, whilst all the time retaining the signature Lack Of Afro elements: raw heavy drums, superb arrangements and an honest organic love of the good groove.

Lack Of Afro - International
(12") Freestyle Records FSR077, 2009-09-21
On this brand new seven track 12 International taken from the forthcoming album My Groove, Your Move Wax & Herbal T rock the joint like men possesed, whilst on Closer To Me the amazing vocalist Roxie Ray (of Dojo Cuts) adds a bluesy, soulful touch that augments the signature Lack Of Afro big beat bonanza. With instrumental and acapella cuts of both tracks rounding off this stunning return, it's pretty certain that everyone will know that Lack Of Afro is back and taking no prisoners!

Ancient Astronauts - Heart Of The Future Mix
(MP3 Download) Eighteen Street Lounge, 2009-05
With a little under a month to go before ESL drops the Ancient Astronauts intergalactic masterpiece We Are To Answer on June 9th, the space dwelling duo hurl an exclusive mix towards our little green and blue planet! Entitled 'Heart of the Future,' the hour plus mix is the perfect precursor to their debut full length, and serves as an important introduction to understanding the influences of Kabanjak and Dogu. From old school hip hop legends, to new school deep beat masters, the mix skips in and out of genres lacing hints of reggae with thick slabs of funk, creating an overarching vibe of just damn good summer hanging music.

Various - Más Achilifunk - Gipsy Soul From 21st Century
(CD) Lovemonk LMNK29, 2009-06-02
Achilifunk was a great discovery for those who thought Flamenco is an impervious genre. The album, chosen one of the best compilations of the year by British magazine Wire (yes, the one with all the weird records), showed why Rumba was boss in Spain’s popular music from the late sixties to the early eighties. Mas Achilifunk, the follow-up to the successful Achilifunk is a musical trip that starts in Barcelona and subsequently travels around the world. Txarly connects the dots between the best new Rumba acts coming out of Barcelona and some of the most forward thinking remixers and producers out there. The result is an electrifying and boundary-breaking slab o’wax that will have your rump shaking before you can say "culo".

4 Track DJ Promo Review :
Natural Self - The Rising (Bullion Remix)
A CRUNCHY remix fusing psychedelic funk & breakbeats on a devastated warfield. Full TRIPPING - as if The Chemical Brothers had been hooked on funk and hip hop from day one...
Spanky Wilson & The QSO - Waiting For Our Touch (Domu Remix)
A soul neoclassic remade into disco - you wouldn't suspect that from broken beat after Domu. Push the bass to the limit and watch the floor go nuts!
Belleruche - Reflection (Trus' Me Remix)
It's quite unusual to hear Kathrin deBoer dressed in 4/4 classy housey beats - which should give ideas to many producers soon... Also available on the 'Black Gold EP'.
Me&You - Wouri River (Redeyes Mix)
Can you get enough of Me&You? Rob Luis & TM Juke have stumbled upon a formula for making the dancefloor crazy - bootay, feets and mind! Their afro drum'n'bass track 'Wouri River' gets the heavyweight treatment from Southwest of France's drumaster Redeyes (Bingo Beats).
