Big Bad Wolf (3:07)
Big Bad Wolf (instrumental) (3:07)
Review: UK ensemble Abstract Orchestra is led by producer Rob Mitchell and has built its name through jazz-infused hip-hop tributes to legends like J Dilla and MADVILLAIN. Their latest cut, 'Big Bad Wolf,' features Detroit MC Guilty Simpson, whose booming baritone drives the track's cinematic narrative. Originally shelved and not put out, Mitchell revived the collaboration by rewriting the entire instrumental. The result is a two-part journey: from eerie, dreamlike strings to hard-hitting live drums, textured synths and reverb-heavy vocals. With lines like 'when a good guy becomes a villain' Simpson's in raw vengeance mode and jay lyrical grit meets with tight musicianship for modern hip-hop orchestration at its boldest.

Sick & Tired (Stefan Ringer remix) (4:10)
Selfish (Ben Hixon & Blaque Dynamite remix) (4:38)
Review: Blaque Dynamite is the work of Mike Mitchell, a drummer from Texas who has played with neo-soul queen Erykah Badu, and jazz legends old and new in Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington. He also makes challenging, defiantly original house music on his own and on top of a couple of albums worth checking from the last two years, comes this EP, which arrived late last year but now debuts on wax. It has a couple of short, sketchy originals that are lo-fi, low-key hip hop vignettes, while JT Donaldson and Stefan Ringer add their own more club-ready reworks. Ben Hixon & Blaque Dynamite also hot up for a remix that is all shimmering melodies and shuffling percussive rhythms.

No Return (2:30)
Path Of Man (3:30)
Review:  Loveland, Ohio's Colemine label offer a 7" indie exclusive on this furtive freshener from house engineer and regularly featured artist Leroi Conroy, returning after his last 45 in 2017 with a sharp double-sider flaunting his rhythmatic flair and deeper verbal intuitions. 'No Return' outlays crisp boom-bap drums wrapped in fluttering flute lines from Michael Sarason (of Say She She) and shimmering harp hallelujahs, courtesy of Cincinnati handywoman Rachel Miller. There's a distinct nod to Dorothy Ashby's work here, but reimagined for a 2025 palette; the flip leads the way to the 'Path Of Man', stripping the bark back to murkier moods, pulling from the darker corners of Conroy's upcoming full-length. He's come a long way since vacationing from the cutting lathe, representing himself in a new soulful and cinematic light, one which is yet raw and unpolished where it counts.

Back To Cali (Goce Pop Lock edit) (4:11)
Gravel Pit (Goce Back To Front mix) (4:17)
Review: Macedonian DJ Goce's reworks breathe a sense of urgency and grit into two classics, making them feel like new discoveries. 'Back to Cali (Goce's Pop Lock Edit)' takes the swagger of LL Cool J's original and shatters it with rapid-fire Brooklyn rhythms and experimental tension. It's a rework that hits hard, adding a sense of narrative chaos to the track's laid-back vibe. Over on the B-side, Goce transforms Wu-Tang's 'Gravel Pit' into a dirty, kinetic force. The original's bounce is replaced with an altogether funkier pulse, creating a new layer of unpredictability while retaining that beloved Staten Island grit. Both tracks move in unexpected directions, pushing the boundaries of what these classics can be on the dancefloor.

Emmaculate & DJ Spen - "Step Into A Black Whole" (13:38)
Emmaculate - "Boogie On Disco Woman" (6:41)
Review: Like a veteran striker in his final season, GAMM has really captured some top form on late and now drops a fire premiere from Chicago's Emmaculate and legendary Basement Boys producer DJ Spen. Opener 'Step Into A Black Whole' is a genre-hopping 11-minute journey that moves from deep house to a hip-hop breakdown featuring KRS-One before morphing into a jazzy Afrobeat stomper. First heard by GAMM contributor Coflo during a wild house set, the track blew the roof off and always will. On the B-side, 'Boogie On Disco Woman' delivers a gritty funk, disco and soul rework with raw drums, clavinets and soulful vocals. Two standouts.

The Doom Sessions (feat MF Doom - mix 2) (4:03)
Review: The mysterious Ronnie Frazzle steps out with a head-turning 7" for Hot-Rox, again limiting itself to just 300 copies. The precedent has been set since 2022, when the 'Doom Sessions' series set about laying MF Doom acapellas to other unmistakable hip-hop instrumentals. On the A, 'The Doom Sessions' leans into murky low-end and glinting synth bursts, anchored by grainy, half-lit verses from Doom, set to Roots Manuva's 'Witness'. Flip it for mix 2, which displaces the mood entirely with slick bass runs, sun-warmed keys and smoother vocal flows; less clash than complement.

Touch The Sky (Funky Soul 45 Breaks instrumental edit) (4:00)
Review: Toronto's Icons Of Hip Hop follow up their inaugural 7" with a heavy second B-boy drop, pairing a titan of rap over an unmistakable funky 70s soul loop. The A-side delivers a vocal-led version that marries sharp bars with dusty horn chops and a butter-smooth rhythm section, channelling the crate-digging spirit of golden era production with modern flair. Flip it for the 'Touch The Sky' Funky Soul Instrumental Edit, where the sample's full groove comes into focusigritty drums, warm basslines and shimmering soul textures that nod to the track's roots while inviting DJs to get playful. Limited stickered dinked 45, this is essential heat for anyone still chasing that raw, loop-driven magic.

99 Problems (3:59)
Review: Lil Static rerelease Jay Z's perhaps most well known singles: '99 Problems' and 'New York State Of Mind' which were the first ever to top the charts and propel the rap turned mogul's name to fame. Also bookending two distinct phases of his career, the A side is a polished love letter to New York built on soaring piano loops and Alicia Keys' chorus, crystallising his transition into cultural statesman mode: less hustler, more mayor. Released in 2009, it echoed Frank Sinatra's civic romanticism but filtered through the lens of Marcy Projects and Roc Nation boardrooms. '99 Problems', from The Black Album (2003), hit different: raw, confrontational, stripped down to Rick Rubin's punk-funk minimalism. Courtroom tension and street wits flip a snappy chorus into a layered commentary on race, law enforcement, and the media.

Se Segura (The Allergies remix) (3:44)
Review: Brazilian hip-hop star Laiz follows her breakthorugh Ela Partiu album from last year with a multilingual, percussion-heavy tribute to Jorge Ben Jor & Quarteto Em Cy, threading Brazilian hip-hop through Latin groove, Afrobeat and free jazz. Recorded at Nima Studio in Hildesheim with her 20-strong band dubbed the New Love Experience, the album sits between languages and borders, echoing Laiz's own migration from Jundiai to Europe in 2019. Shaped as much by cultural dissonance as it is by Babylonian joy, the record is sung in seven languages, leaning on lyrical mysticism and transitive instrumental interplay, telling particular stories of heritage, upheaval and diasporic unity.

Master Peace Vol 1
Master Peace Vol 2
Review: Another dug-out dispatch from Tokyo's most diligent soul surgeon. This latest 7" distills veteran editor Loftsoul's flair for unearthing overlooked grooves and flipping them into low-slung, floor-ready burners. Side A stretches a sweet, previously under-the-radar soul cut into a strut-ready salivation, while the flip dips into hazier jazz-funk moorings: crisp drum breaks, warm Rhodes, slow-cooked syncopation. With subtle EQ and caressing lowpass warmth, we hear it's not about maximal intervention; it's about knowing where to put the scalpel. The latest in a long-running series, it's certainly an outlier find for record-bin archaeologists.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***


Baltimore's gothic synthpop golden child Nourished By Time (Marcus Brown) has made a wonderful name for himself so far, flaunting a blithe, nigh ghostly vocal talent, usually paired with a lo-fi alt-pop aesthetic. The 'Catching Chickens' EP, his debut record for XL Recordings, continues this trend with a brand new five-track EP, following up 2023's equally great LP Erotic Probiotic 2. Written between 2022 - 2023 in his home studio in Baltimore and along his world travels this past year, Catching Chickens is derived from the film Rocky, and the iconic scene in which Rocky's trainer makes him chase and catch a flock of chickens as a test of agility. Channelling Brown's per usual contemplation of late stage capitalism and post-pandemic loneliness, every song here is indicative of a well-earned artistic progression.

Review: WA electronica duo Odesza have been watching Severance... have you? 'Music To Refine To: A Remix Companion To Severance' manifests as a seven-track EP reimagining Theodore Shapiro's score for the hit Apple TV series, the series which takes the 21-Century fixation on the idea of work-life balance to lugubrious extremes. The three-time Grammy nominees bring their signature synth-dance to the sampled atmosses of Severance, transforming Shapiro's eerie, coporatocratic sound motifs into wicked electronica abtsractions. Just as we're not quite sure what we're doing when we sit down to work at our desks, this officially Apple sanctioned release by the pair mirrors the simulacrum-similarities between commissioned remix culture and the in-out social sanctions of the fictive Lumon Corporation.

Review: Sofian label Soul Dynamite sling a skilful slice over our way, assuring us of the finely appraised editing work of Plovdiv producer Skill. Flat caps, ochre-rimmed glasses and dug crates seem to surround Skill like bees to honey, as the self-professed "pioneer in the purveyance of soulful, funky and jazzy hip-hop" makes evident his own expertise in a monosyllabic name. Two seconds in and we already know that 'Tribute To The Godfather' refers to none other than James Brown; we hear his many rhythm-perfect funk "huhs" striating the a fearsome breaks opener. We conclude on the sax-furloughed 'Danger', which steers hip-hoppier, and sacrifices the original vocals from Brown for an unknown sample source, though the King Of Soul's reign is not lost on it.

Even After All (SuckaSide remix) (4:42)
Gorilla Witness (4:48)
Review: A nice mix of funk, hip-hop and reggae influences go into the melting pot on the latest SuckaSide, with 'Even After All' proving to be a laid back, blunted jam that's backed up with some hard hitting, sturdy beat manouevres. On the edgier sounding flip, meanwhile, a female MC spits with impressive ferocity while a lovely warm - and somewhat familiar - analogue-edge loop works its magic. Both are key components for use at different points in the jam, some badly needed heavy weaponry that Donald Trump can't withdraw from service here.

Review: Tea Breaks comes through with the goods again here in the form of a killer hip-hop hit that comes from the legendary East Coast scene back in the mid-90s when, for our money, it was turning out its most vital artists and albums. 'CREAM (feat R & ID)' has familiar dark soul energy with strumming strings running across its face, dusty and deep beats and iconic vocals. On the flip of this tidy 7" is an instrumental version that strips things back to the core ingredients and lets your mind do the rest.

Review: Ladbroke Grove favourite AJ Tracey's highly anticipated third album arrives after a three-year hiatus and reaffirms his place at the forefront of rap. The record explores themes of ambition, resilience and living life to the fullest, reflecting AJ's journey from humble London beginnings to UK rap's pinnacle. Featuring viral hit 'Joga Bonito' and chart-topping track 'Crush' with Jorja Smith, who contributes two very different, equally stunning parts to that single, this is the sound of an artist who is still growing and joining his craft. His wordplay remains sharp and with and fuelled with fun cultural references and is sure to be heard banging from car radios, Bluetooth speakers and plenty in between all summer long.

Review: West Coast rapper Big Sean sharpened his pen and darkened his ink for his third album, trading in his bling for a thunderous storm-braving. Out through Good Music and Def Jam in early 2015, the LP, in true rap kingpin fashion, serves to simultaneously enlist and dagger-eye its own collaborators, including Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne. With production from Key Wane, DJ Dahi, DJ Mustard and Kanye himself, the likes of 'Blessings', 'Win Some, Lose Some' and 'Stay Down' seem prescient for the time, when dark unison synths and tension-pluck progressions would parlay Sean's otherwise largely dry, un-effected vocals. Ten years on, Dark Sky Thinking feels like a personal reckoning for the rapper, scratching off the liquid latex gold to reveal a complicated character underneath.

At 78 minutes, the session moves between stripped-down soul and expansive jazz-schooled improvisation, with appearances from Questlove and Common woven in. 'Soul Sista', 'All Matter' and 'Funky For You' get fresh treatment, while interludes lend a loose, intimate feel. First pressing gone; second underway with global shipping across 15 territories.

He plays across jazz, hip-hop and fusion and has worked with greats old and new like Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington. As a solo artist, he has dropped two albums in the last two years, and Stop Calling Me from 2023 is one that now makes it way to vinyl. It is a wild ride between intense jazz workouts that recall Sun Ra, smoky deep house that taps into Detroit and downbeat explorations like 'I'm Not Trippin'' that are densely layered, textural and infused with a new kind of soul.

Review: Los Angeles MC Blu reaches a reflective milestone with his latest, produced in full by Dallas-based August Fanon. Known for his cerebral delivery and dusty crate-digging beats, Fanon provides unfiltered soul loops - no drum programming, no frills - that frame Blu's verses with raw elegance. Across eleven tracks, Blu revisits themes of ageing, selfhood and faith, delivered in tight verses with a clarity that's unhurried but never static. 'Happy' enlists Kota The Friend and R.A.P. Ferreira for a loose meditation on gratitude; 'Simple', with Sene and Chester Watson, blends memory and melody with ease. On 'Love (1-4)', Blu assembles four different perspectives - Wyldeflowher, Geminelle, Yah-Ra and Lexxus - weaving them into a gospel-centred suite before Noveliss lands the closing verse. 'Bible' is stark and spoken, while 'Human' sees Homeboy Sandman and Asher Roth wrestle with vulnerability. Fashawn and Choosey close the set on 'Joy', trading lines like letters from a calmer future. The tone remains introspective but never heavy: even at its most spiritual, the record feels lived-in and warm. It's not a revival or reinvention - just a seasoned voice, quietly confident in its next chapter.

The record focused on Brandy's personal growth while addressing relationship woes and self-reflection in tracks like 'I Tried' and 'Who I Am.' The standout song, 'I Tried,' samples Iron Maiden's 'The Clansman' and features Brandy's most raw and emotional performance. The shift resonated with fans for its gritty, more relatable edge and remains her most well-received project.

Also entirely self-produced by Apollo, his soul-laced, vinyl-dust production secures an individuality of mood, though collectivity abounds in the collabs, which clock in at 18 out of 19 tracks: 'Red Pill' and Verbal Kent match his pacing effortlessly, while Evidence sounds razor-sharp on 'There's Always Radio'.

Review: The latest release from South London's Loyle Carner pivots inward, offering a tender meditation on fatherhood, early memory and generational reflection. It's a natural progression from his previous introspections, but here the production is leaner and more luminous-stripped-back soul, minimal beats and a focus on clarity over complexity. Carner's delivery is quieter, but the intent feels firmer: gone is the youthful restlessness, replaced by something close to peace. As ever, there are references to family, race, and identity, but they're less rhetorical and more lived-in. With subtle collaborations and an intuitive feel for rhythm and space, Carner sketches an emotional landscape that's quietly disarming. This is one of his most human releases yet-not showy or maximal, but rich in detail and calm in its confidence. A welcome shift from a UK rapper increasingly more concerned with truth than trend.

Review: It's been a long time coming that we should reach the point where German minimal house megamind DJ Koze gets to indulge his own "influences mix", for none other than resident who's-who mix aggregator, DJ-Kicks. Koze's long-loved, minimal house spirituals sound is unmistakable, serving to fill out in widescreen technicolour the best sound achievable across dance spectra; a palatial pan-European palate of crisp, soul-driven sound, crossing into downtempo, bedroom pop and lo-hi-fi crusts. This landmark 50th edition in the 'Kicks series hears Koze blear through said sounds with ease, disparately uniting laid-back hip-hop flips of Madlib through to the raw racecourse force of Berghain techno, then incorporating indie-pop and melancholic outliers further afield, then closing on a fully edited piece of 'Hyuwee' by fellow titan Session Victim. Koze's goal was never to show off his deep knowledge but to craft a mix that anyone could enjoy: in his own words, he sought to recreate a radio show-like experience, emphasisng harmony, not beatmatching.

Review: Ghostface came out swinging on Supreme Clientele, his second solo LP; with wild, free-associative flair - he was by then a standout MC even amid Wu-Tang's crowded barracks. Now. a decorated verbal bombardier, he earned the Killah badge with this one: built in close collaboration with RZA, who ammunised the record's beats while conscripting JuJu, The Hitmen, and Hassan on versal lookout duties, the album lands like a continuous reel of grainy street cinema, warped soul loops, and cryptic one-liners. Written largely after a trip to Africa and through a stint at New York prison Rikers Island, the album steps away from mafioso cliches and fixation on brands, folding in a looser, more surreal energy. Singles 'Apollo Kids' and 'Cherchez La Ghost' cut the ears with raw, slice-thru charm, but it's deep cuts like 'Nutmeg' that cement it as of the sharpest solo turns in the Wu-Tang catalogue.

Review: 30th Century Records reissues Gnarls Barkley's 2008 sophomore LP, The Odd Couple, for the first time on wax since its original release, when it didn't quite make the mark many might have expected, though ah since become one of those under-the-radar gems. While the duo of Cee-Lo Green and Danger Mouse rose to fame with the massive hit 'Crazy,' this album revealed a more nuanced, experimental side. Staying true to their cinematic r&b roots, The Odd Couple refines their sound with sharper songwriting and polished production. Highlights include the gospel-synth swirl of 'Going On' and the frantic funk energy of 'Run (I'm A Natural Disaster).' It's an underrated follow-up that showed Gnarls Barkley was more than just a one-hit wonder.

Review: American rapper JPEGMAFIA's latest is a sprawl-furious, funny and brutally confessional. It plays like a barrage of psychic snapshots: voice notes, demos, diss tracks, gospel flips and pixelated trap dreams. The first half (ending with 'ALLAH') forms a pummelling, meticulously sequenced core-'Jordan Rules' and 'JPEGULTRA!' crackle with fury, while 'i lay down my life for you' and 'Don't Put Anything on the Bible' show his growing mastery of melody and space. Vince Staples, Denzel Curry and Buzzy Lee slide into the chaos without diluting it. The second half loosens its grip: raw sketches like 'tour idea feb 1st 2025' and 'JIHAD JOE' stretch the project's limbs outward. It's unfiltered but not aimless-his vision is lucid even at its most erratic. From the title down to the tracklist, this is a record that dares you to look away and dares him to reveal more. It's the most complete JPEGMAFIA has ever sounded-uncompromising, contradictory, and fully locked into his own frequency. A closing chapter that reads like a manifesto.

Review: Little Simz is back with a new album that comes after years of ever more momentum, awards and critical acclaim. The storytelling rapper's latest long player, Lotus, is named in reference to renewal and growth and the lead single, 'Flood' featuring Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly has already made a big mark by blending haunting vocals with a live-band feel that showcases Simz's hard-hitting delivery over creeping basslines. It is a dynamic and introspective sound which also plays out across the rest of the album and here comes on nice pink vinyl. Another standout effort from this contemporary star, then, and just in time for her Meltdown Festival curation and residency at London's Southbank.

Review: Electronic soul innovator Liv.e followed up her acclaimed Girl In The Half Pearl with PAST FUTUR.e last year, and it's now dropping on vinyl. The surprise seven-track project was made in just 24 hours and announced via a post on X. It's a lo-fi synthwave collection that betrays her genre-defying instincts and trades neo-soul smoothness for raw, hallucinatory energy. She bellows like a dancehall toaster and delivers fragmented narration over fuzzy, pulsing synths that echo Gang Gang Dance's experimental spirit. Is it an EP, album, or mixtape? It doesn't matter-PAST FUTUR.e is an unfiltered transmission from one of r&b's most inventive voices, and it's wildly unpredictable.

Review: Lord Byron's sixth album is a real standout in his discography and another trademark fusion of Southern rap's silky essence with the introspective depth of slowed-down, chopped-and-screwed beats. Produced by Ben Hixon of Dolfin Records (which is dropping a ton of great records right about now, by the way) A Portrait of Fyodor on Fire shows off Byron's versatile delivery as he seamlessly blends rapid-fire verses with the hypnotic rhythms of DJ Screw's influence. Collaborations with RPBGV further enrich the sound with new layers of complexity and innovation all white drawing inspiration from diverse sources for subtle inspiration that makes for a Texan-infused world of introspection and rhythm.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged but otherwise in excellent condition***


This French artist, who has captivated audiences with her collaborations alongside Mura Masa, Pomme and Flavien Berger, returns with a deeply personal album that explores the complexities of self-discovery and the search for meaning in a world obsessed with self-improvement. The album's title track, 'choke enough', is a poignant reflection on the need for connection and the pursuit of intense emotions. Oklou's warm, beautiful productions, a signature of her sound, conjure a liminal space where the boundaries between introspection and euphoria blur with delicate synthesiser arpeggios and found sound samples. 'family and friends', the album's first single, delves into the search for answers and the desire to escape from intangible memories. Oklou's lyrics, delivered with a vulnerable yet defiant honesty, capture the anxieties and uncertainties of a generation navigating a world where virtual and physical identities are inextricably intertwined. After gaining international acclaim with her collaborations and her critically acclaimed mixtape 'galore', Oklou's debut album marks a turning point in her artistic evolution, a bold yet introspective work that challenges listeners to confront their own anxieties and desires.

Review: Brit soul legend Omar's new work finds him in full command of his craft, gracefully vaulting through decades of soul, funk and jazz with a sound that feels both grounded in history and refreshingly modern. His collaborations - from Paul Weller's understated elegance to Giggs' streetwise energy - highlight his remarkable versatility, yet it's his own magnetic voice that pulls everything together. The arrangements are lush, rich with organic instrumentation and tinged with Caribbean warmth, offering a sound palette that's as riveting as it is all-consuming. Tracks like 'There's Much Love In The World' reflect the timeless optimism that runs through Omar's music, celebrating unity while reminding us of the power of soulful connection. Despite the star-studded line-up of guests, this release is unmistakably Omar's. His voice - distinctive and effortlessly smooth - remains at the heart of each song, whether he's trading verses with Raheem DeVaughn or harmonising with Ledisi's rich tones. The musical textures on display are just as varied, blending organic rhythms with electronic beats that never overwhelm the track's emotional core. Over time, Omar's musical approach has only become more layered and expansive, yet his unmistakable sound remains intactianchored in the originality that made him a key figure in modern soul and funk.

It is the world of South London-born and raised multi-faceted producer, composer and DJ Hector Plimmer, who broke out a decade ago and here blends past and present experiences into a richly intimate world. The record is packed with collaborations with artists like Laura Misch, Andrew Ashong and Tawiah who help weave soulful melodies, ambient textures and jazz sensibilities. It's a profound and essential new take on jazz with a distinctive London edge.

Review: Texas-based Ben Hixon and Atlanta's Stefan Ringer collide on this new split EP for the increasingly vital Dolfin label. It is Ringer who starts with a tight, grinding groove on 'Moving Walkway' with spoken word snippets and kaleidoscopic synth sequences bringing a trippy and unusual energy to the menacing bass. His 'PLGLY' (SR Big Room mix) is then a heavy beatdown with synths that snap and crack while jazzy percussion and dark vocals bring extra character. Hixon's 'Feels Extremely Good' is a busy, off-balance mix of deep house drums and mind-melting synth refrains while 'My Family' offer a blissed-out and soul-drenched closer.

Review: This ten-year anniversary reissue revisits the 2015 release from Brooklyn MC Skyzoo, a deeply reflective and narratively rich project that explores the worldview of a 13-year-old growing up in his neighbourhood. It's a concept-driven record that still stands out for its lyrical clarity and storytelling, with production that balances polish and grit thanks to contributions from Illmind, Thelonious Martin and Seige Monstracity. Guest verses from Black Thought, Elzhi, Jadakiss and Bilal never overshadow Skyzoo's vision, but add depth and texture to his meditative tone. 'Luxury' remains a standout i a sharp, swaggering track that also marked Westside Gunn's first major feature i while cuts like 'The Moments That Matter' and 'Money Makes Us Happy' frame coming-of-age questions within lived detail. Not just a nostalgic reissue, but a reminder of how much weight Skyzoo carries when he stays close to home i thoughtful, precise and full of earned perspective.

The duo's signature sound is a fusion of their own DJing and music production and is ever more refined, having been crafted over the course of a year. Cinematic arrangements and a fresh approach to sampling make this another great chapter in this duo's musical story.

Review: California producer Space Ghost teams up with South Carolina-based singer Teddy Bryant for a sun-soaked ode to late 80s and early 90s soul. The record opens with the silky swing of 'Some Things Last Forever', giving way to lush, G-Funk-laced grooves like 'Majestic Fantasies' and club-focused cuts such as 'Unconditional (Club Mix)'. Bryant's vocals glide over Space Ghost's plush instrumentation, with tracks like 'Cheer Me Up' and 'Ultimate Love' channelling UK street soul and the balladry of classic r&b. 'Shine' and 'Ultimate Love', both featuring Morgan, add extra emotional weight. The pair clearly draw from a shared love of Teddy Riley, Jam & Lewis and DeVante Swing, but there's a lightness here that feels rooted in the present too-music that remembers the past without ever getting stuck in it.

Review: It's always nice to hear new music from Towa Tei, who will forever be revered for his work with 90s dance fusionists Deee-Lite. His 13th studio album shows he's lost none of his adventurous spirit, with quirky melodies, chopped samples, and imaginative collaborations galore. AH!! is testament to Tei's knack for assembling unexpected parts into something stylish and, well, just a little wackadoodle. With contributions from the likes of Takkyu Ishino, Verbal, Yukihiro Takahashi and Haruomi Hosono, AH!! plays like a mixtape from an alternate pop universe. Over 30 years since he and his bandmates tore the roof off the dance underground, AH!! lands as a marker of Towa Tei's staying power and serves as the final part of a loose trilogy that began with EMO and LP. A milestone release, then, from a shape-shifting producer who's always been more interested in what's next than what's expected.

It also introduces his Nation Riders, a collective of up-and-coming rappers signed to his new label, in a record full of pimp tales and classic $hort storytelling.

Review: Freestyle deliver a curate collection of overlooked UK street soul and boogie from the 80s and early 90s, with standout tracks from the label's recent 12" reissue programme. The collection houses a special mid-90s gem from Manchester's Gold In The Shade, with accompanying photos by Andrew Holligan and liners from Kevin Le Gendre. The sleeve was shot in Hackney, East London, where a vibrant street culture flourished despite the strictures of the Thatcher era. British music evolved at the same time, as larger ensembles shrank in favour of smaller groups with synths, letting boogie's smooth, bass-led sound find life. This transition, alongside the rise of street soul, budded and blossomed a uniquer blend of indie and studio projects, imprinting lastingly on the culture, now repackaged and again represented in The Way U Make Me Feel.

Review: A new compilation gathering a wide-reaching group of female and non-binary artists working across genre, language and geography, with contributions from Lagos, Brooklyn, London, Hong Kong and beyond. The sound is as varied as the cast i from the jagged grime of TeeZandos and MC Yallah to the glassy electronics of Yaeji and COUCOU CHLOE, it's consistently direct, inventive and loaded with character. Sudan Archives and Yaya Bey bring nuance and clarity, while Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dizzy Fae balance melodic force with raw edges. Aunty Rayzor and Vanessa the Finessa provide standout energy, with rising names like Nira, Queenie and Warrior Queen pushing things in new directions. There's no single through-line here beyond self-possession i each artist holds their own sonic identity and leans into it fully. It's a new release with a sharp ear for contrast and range, reflecting not a trend but a network of voices already shaping what comes next. Wide open in sound but tight in curation, this one's well worth spending time with.

Trouble Man (feat Kamern Corvet) (1:53)
Review: The first Wu-Tang release to feature all nine living members in over a decade, this new full-length is a reminder that when aligned, the Staten Island collective still operate on a level of their own. The production is raw and cinematic i heavy with martial arts samples, bassline grime and dusty soul flips i while the verses come sharp, tight and unshowy. No gimmicks, just business. 'Sucker Free City' and 'Mandingo' come in swinging, full of tight drum programming and rugged, overlapping verses. 'Roar Of The Lion' and 'Shaoilin Vs Lama' lean into the classic kung-fu mythology, with a sense of pace that recalls their earliest work. 'Cleopatra Jones' and 'Dolemite' are funk-fuelled standouts, where the crew's storytelling and timing land in full form. 'Let's Do It Again' and 'Trouble-Man' close with a tone of reflection that cuts through the grime. It's a new release, but also a reunion that doesn't feel like a legacy act i more like a sharpened return. No attempt to modernise, no need to. Just nine distinct voices, still bouncing off each other with control and character. A serious addition to the catalogue i and one for the heads.

Kingmaker
Review: Xzibit first put his talents on full display - no glass case needed - right as the moment that the 90s LA rap underground scene spread its wings. He broke out shortly after this underground comeup in 1996 with At The Speed Of Life, led by the moody slow-burn single 'Paparazzi'. His new record Kingmaker, however, brings, after a decade of remission from the limelight, a full 20 track's worth of deal-ready proofs of liquidity, guile and acumen, with Xzibit casting himself as a "kingmaker". (It) "has nothing to do with him being royalty or sitting on the throne and being a part of some kind of hierarchy", but a sign that he wanted to share his knowledge of "the good, the bad, the ugly, the ups and downs" he's faced throughout his life and career that he attributes to "making him successful". 'Play This At My Funeral' leads the offensive with hollowed out gumption and politically neutral, reminiscent bars, setting the tone with the following sentiment: don't mess with me, I've seen too much.

Review: Hailing from Marseille, Zar Electrik conjure a hypnotic synthesis of North African rhythm, West African instrumentation and contemporary electronics. Their debut full-length surges with ritualistic energy-'Berma soudan' leads with elastic gumbri grooves, while 'Bala dima' overlays call-and-response chants with pulsing low-end and dubby atmospheres. 'Koyo' anchors the set in driving, gnaoui-inflected trance, propelled by electric kora and pitch-shifted vocal snippets. Elsewhere, 'Sahrane Lile' is drenched in oud melancholia, and 'Chouf enour' spirals into eight minutes of slow-building, ambient-rooted psych. Shorter sketches like 'Interlude 51' and 'Choukrane likoum' offer breathers between the denser percussion workouts. Drawing from wedding music, souk rhythms and Berber funk with evident care, the trio land somewhere between festival catharsis and basement heat. It's not simply fusion-it's groove as inheritance, filtered through FX units and Mediterranean sun.
