Review: First put out back in 2007, Soundz of Freedom is a landmark album in Bob Sinclar's discography. The French man has long been a towering figure in the world of house music with many chart hits and a DJ diary that takes him on endless trips around the globe. This album helped get him there and is now being reissued for the first time as a double vinyl. It has already been certified gold and features collaborations with renowned stars such as Axwell, Tocadisco, Ron Carroll, Jamie Lewis and Mousse T. Between them they explore plenty of accessible house sounds from deep to vocal to Afro-leaning and they have all aged well enough to still do a job to this day.

Review: Antony Szmierek's debut album, Service Station at the End of the Universe, is an electrifying fusion of spoken word, indie pop and dancefloor energy. Following his rise from Manchester's spoken word scene, Szmierek gained widespread recognition in 2023 with hits like 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Fallacy', which earned him Artist of the Year honors from BBC 6 Music. This debut album cements his unique voice, blending sharp, insightful lyricism with infectious beats. The album is a journey through Szmierek's distinct style, where he deftly combines poignant moments with irresistibly catchy, upbeat tracks. Songs like 'The Great Pyramid of Stockport' explore the absurdity of modern life, showing him disoplaying both humor and melancholy. Szmierek's sharp observationsidrawn from the grit of British lifeiare woven seamlessly into the music, creating a sound that's as danceable as it is reflective. Szmierek proves himself an artist who balances introspection with celebration.
