This Week

Review: Despite a long and fruitful career, there's been little for fans of Justin Robertson to get excited about lately. It turns out that this is down to the time he's been spending in the studio, adding finishing touches to the debut EP from his new alias, Deadstock 33s. Stranger is an excellent EP, featuring tracks that mine many of Robertson's influences. There's the warped, acid-laden vintage techno pomp of "Stranger" - all analogue drums, weird noises and original Bugged Out strut - and "The Sound Face & Mind", a curious but rather brilliant fusion of '80s electro rhythms and cascading synths. For the most part the remixes are great, too, with Eskimo Twins 303-attack and Daniel Avery's deep electro standing out.

Review: Perfect timing for all summer soirees: London's premier funk dealers Jalapeno fire up yet another spotless collection of party nuggets. Showcasing their extensive repertoire, they've crammed in 14 unmissable, unmixed and unmistakeably swinging tracks by the likes of Featurecast, Beekeepers, Kraak & Smaak, Smoove & Turrell, Max Sedgley, Parker, Moneyshot and more. From prime-time party pieces (Hint's b-boy breaking remix of Kraak & Smaak's "Let's Go Back") to low-swung, hipster disco (Tom Drummond's "Keep It Moving) via deep house that's so clean and pristine you could do surgery on it (D'Steph's "Getting It On"), the whole compilation sparkles with sonic sunshine. And for those days when you just haven't got the energy to mix (don't lie - we've all been there), they've even thrown in a DJ mix of the tracks too.
