Jazzanova - Upside Down
(CD/Digital) Sonar Kollektiv SK232, 2012-01-23
From the left or the right side? Straight ahead or upside down? No matter how you look at it - but it seems to be about time that all the remixes for Jazzanova that have been done over the last few years need to be bundled up in a nice big shiny package. After the first collection of remixes from 2003 (Remixed, JCR040-2) now's the turn for Upside Down, some of dance music finest key figures' interpretations of selected Jazzanova tunes from the last eight years. And be assured, the line-up is as massive as the Berlin's quintet worldwide reputation. From fellow Berliner Henrik Schwarz, Ye:Solar and Âme to Atjazz and Mr. Scruff from the UK, Motor City Drum Ensemble from Cologne, Glasgow's Midnight Mauraders and Soldiers Of House from Pretoria (South Africa) this is a top notch international heavy weight affair.

Mr Scruff - Feel It! / Bounce
(12") Ninja Tune ZEN12297, 2011-09-26 / (Digital) Ninja Tune ZENDNLS297, 2011-11-21
The scruffalicious Sexpot of the Stockpot returns with another rum punch of housy, funky deepness in which the filthy, the furious and those in need of a brew will swim like little fishes in search of Our Lord. Feel It! has a rhythm designed by Long John Silver's wooden leg, a bit of ghostly moaning from Hammer Horror's lost disco classic, Across The Moor To Studio 54, some of the finest one-handed keyboard playing ever left unquantised, plus choppy, soulful vox for those moments when only waving your outstretched index finger and thumb right in front of your nose will do. Bounce, on the other hand, has some of the finest one-handed keyboard playing ever left unquantised since Feel It! and a thumpier, most insistent build, that goes all polyrhythmic and hypnotic and quite subtly, shimmeringly brilliant on yer. After some of his jazzier work-outs, this latest release showcases a new, stripped-back, buff Mr. Scruff, all six-pack and tremendous abs, a bearded wonder of northern manliness.

(12"/Digital Single) Ninja Tune ZEN1228/ZENDNLS28, 2011-05-02
Mr. Scruff returns with a synth heavy, low slung 4/4 number featuring a wiggling centipede synth line & unruly bass, scruffed up in his warm & dusty production style... the sound of electronic instruments enjoying themselves! The second track see's Nickodemus & Zeb from Brooklyn's legendary Turntables on the Hudson crew tackle Music Takes Me up, adding a ton of bump & a ladle of synth to Alice Russell's raw vocals.

Andreya Triana - Far Closer
(Download) Ninja Tune ZENDNLS264, 2011-02-07
Andreya Triana returns with one of the standout tracks from her critically acclaimed debut album, Lost Where I Belong. Far Closer combines Triana's beautiful, slowburn vocal and intelligent lyrics with one of Bonobo's key productions. Coming on like a more melancholy, reined in take on the Motown blueprint, this is a tune with an uplifitng, memorable chorus and no shortage of that rare commodity - genuine soul. Co-written with Fink, running away from love has never been made to sound more attractive. With remixes from Mr Scruff, Tokimonsta and a live version of the tune, recorded with Fink and Bonobo playing guitar and bass respectively.

Mr Scruff - Keep it Unreal - 10 Year Anniversary Edition
(2xCD) Ninja Tune ZENCD42X, 2009-06-29
The original album released 10 years ago is not Mr Scruff's best release and mostly sold because of the Moondog rip-off that was featured on so many ads (Get A Move On). But Mr Scruff has aways been a master at surprising the listener with cheeky b-sides, remixes and exclusive tracks on compilations and EPs that go directly into your favorite DJ bag. The bonus CD here collects 9 of those rare tracks... including six unreleased tracks from the original studio sessions. Kinda like a new old Mr Scruff album! (Djouls)
