Review: German producer Suff Daddy follows up his recent +EFIL4FFUS album with this, his third record, out on Melting Pot. Specialising in bassed-up hip-hop, often with touches of nu-jazz and boogie funk, Suff's guests add some real clout to his beats. Miles Bonny croons over the soft and leaning "PGOB" while the lively "Stein Im Brett" is given a punky edge thanks to vocalist Fleur Earth. Check out the Hammond-tastic "Jimmy Smith Interlude" too - paying tribute to one of the masters of the B-3.

Review: After recruiting breathless rave heroes Switch and Sinden to remix the last Havana Cultura Band single, Gilles Peterson takes things down a notch for this next set of revisions. Fluid broken beat/deep house/nu-jazz veteran Martin 'Atjazz' Iveson steps up first, offering two wonderfully deep and soulful versions that make great use of the original's lovely Cuban percussion and vocals. The Detroit-influenced Astro Dub is particularly delightful. Chancha Via Circuito recasts the jaunty original as a blissful chunk of Cuban space dub - all roomy sub, touchy-feely harmonies and hip-hop tempo percussion - while Alex Patchwork drops a bouncy, organic house interpretation. Excellent stuff, all told.

Review: TMW warms up his edit mangler and sharpens his scalpels to go to work on a fabulously exotic set of rarities that swing through Balkan beat, Latin and indeed Swing on this invaluable five track Katakana Edits EP. The Eastern '60s pop of "Koulouri", the Northern Soul stomp of "Dr. Ray" and the electro-swing of "Ain't Swing It" especially all make for very canny DJ food for spinners of a far-out persuasion.

Review: German nu-jazz project Club Des Belugas drop their sixth album, Forward, with a host of guest singers on board for this silky smooth voyage through jazz hooks and downtempo beats. "Straight To Memphis" for example sees main men Maxim Illion and Kitty The Bill explore a Nina Simone-esque swing, while "Peanut Vendor" evokes the big band bop of exotica artists like Esquivel mixed with a South American bounce. A very enjoyable mix of songs that take in everything from lounge jazz to rootsy, bluesy stomps.

Review: For DJs enthused by the world of South American music - be it the tango of Argentina, Cuban mambo or Brazilian samba - there's much to enjoy on this EP. With the aid of a string of remixers, Los Chicos Altos have successfully fused the past and the present, combining traditional styles with contemporary beats. All of the seven tracks are worth a loook, from the skanking, slo-mo calypso-house of Azaxx's "Se Va Mamba", to the Nuyorican Soul-ish Stereo 77 rework of "Jose Antonio". Perhaps the standout track, though, is the carnival-friendly cambia of "Senora Santara" as remixed by Idan K and the Movement of Rhythm. Heavy? You bet.

Review: Inspired by countless trips to Africa, Louie Vega-championed producer and writer Boddhi Satva has managed to brilliantly fuse soulful house and nu-jazz sonics with songwriting styles and scales inspired by west African greats like Grammy award-winner Oumou Sangare, who appears on the incredible "Nganari Konon". An album replete with gentle, shimmering delights like the tender "From Another World" to the Afro-grooved "Nankoumandjan", Satva slots into BBE's exotic roster of artists perfectly.

Review: A producer with an obvious appreciation of jazz, from the gypsy swing of Django Reinhardt to the big band blues of Duke Ellington, Lazlo's debut album is a well-crafted fusion of organic vintage samples and smart and subtle beats. Tunes like the perky "Sucette", the tight skank of "The Minor Drags" or the shuffle-beat frenzy of "I've Got A Girl In Kalamazoo" make this a must-have 14 song collection for fans of classy electro swing and pepped-up ragtime jazz.

Review: DJ/producer duo Troo Luv and Charlie Loud aka Heartbreak Sound have a great knack of re energising hip-hop acapellas and dropping some of the finest mash-up material out there at the moment. This latest release on GAMM is an essential purchase which comes in four pieces - with D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar" given a slow, nu-Philly groove, Jeru Tha Damaja's late-period hit "El Presidente" treated to a thematically-correct Cuban remake, Mos Def's "Ms Fat Booty" redone with a new, DJ Spinna-esque set of beats, and Common's classic "The Light" given a gritty make-over.

Review: GAMM welcome a new face into the fold in the shape of Stockholm's Seegweed, who aptly demonstrates his panache for the edit on some classic jams. First up, Seegweed drops a subtle take on Angela Bofill's Stylistics cover, clearly not wanting to mess with a classic like "People Make The World Go Round". Deft percussive touches and some bottom end embellishment are added to the core which takes full effect on the midpoint break. Up next, the jazz funk break delight of Ben Sidran's "About Love" gets the subtle Seegweed treatment, and he does a neat job of extending out the sweetness that is Sly & The Family Stone's "Family Affair".

Review: Mashed-up reggae and hip-hop from the Cast A Blast label on this new single from Dedy Dread and DJ Rebel, which sees the distinctive descending riffola of Ray Charles' "Hit The Road Jack" incorporated into the excellent "Criss N Shine". While this original is full of rootsy jazz goodness, Turntable Dubbers & Sebski recast the vocals against a light, warm and friendly dancehall beat while Blend Mishkin evoke the "Sleng Teng" riddim on the plugged-in beats of their own remix.

Perfect for the change of the season, there's more mash-up warmth courtesy of Sono Rhizmo's "Forever & A Day".

Review: A real journeyman of styles and scenes, French producer Kid Loco's chilled and exotica-laced nu-jazz gets a makeover from three different sources on these new remixes of "My Daddy Waza". While Ezequiei Lodeiros Latinazo brings an uptempo samba-jazz feel to his very live makeover, Suonho couched Loco's original in more studio-based funk for his more housey excursion. The most radical mix though comes in the form of the excellent, slo-mo disco rerub from Greenwood Rhythm Coalition, which gets delightfully deep thanks to some bassy pads and soft vocal loops.

from $1.49

Review: Taken from the nocturnal stashes of Zero 7 main men Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker, the 17 tracks that go into this latest instalment of the Late Night Tales series provides a fascinating mix of hip-hop, soul, dub and acoustica. Fans of Zero 7's distinctive laidback hip-hop style will certainly appreciate beats from soulmates such as Yesterday's New Quintet or The Cinematic Orchestra (as on the classic "Channel 1 Suite"), while soul hunters will go nuts for the incredible '70s jazz-funk snap of Sylvia Striplin's "You Can't Take Me Away". With other names like Souls of Mischief, Don Blackman, Slum Village and The Stylistics included, this is a perfectly crafted late night journey.

Review: Both the muscle behind Glasgow's excellent Highlife club nights, as well as his Afro-futurist production alias Auntie Flo, Brian d'Souza kills it with this Huntleys & Palmers-released mini-album. Following much-buzzed tunes like "Oh My Days" and his Goan Highlife EP, d'Souza provides many new shades here - such as the glossy Eastern funk of "Haven't Got Any Body" the favela 2-step of "La Samaria", the minimal 4/4 Latin jazz of "He Makes The People Come Together". The standout so far is the juke-paced mix of 808 claps and congas on the Esa Willimas-vocalled "I Want To Blow Your Mind".

Review: The second instalment of Brownswood's Worldwide Family series sees LA crate-digger Kutmah at the helm. A contemporary of The Gaslamp Killer, Gonjasufi and Flying Lotus (whose previously unreleased, Eastern-scaled "Samsfav" is included here), Kutmah mixes alt hip-hop like The Darkhorseman's "Taking Over Empires" with low-riding Dilla-esque funk such as Tehbis' excellent "Higher", and juke-tempoed haziness from Mono/Poly's "With Grace". Among these excellent 21 selections is also an unreleased Hudson Mohawke jam - "Are You Feeling Hot" -which fits in perfectly with the overall weird and warped slo-mo vibe.

With a mix of hip-hop beats, live Latin percussion and all manner of slinky, JB-inspired funk, tracks like the smoky "This Feeling's Gone" and "I Dream of Bahia" show a whole new side to Lugo and make for a pleasantly-varied and raw LP.

Review: This EP from the Dirty Dubsters camp executes a single idea incredibly well: to apply electro-swing rhythms and production techniques to a bunch of old Latin records, be they Brazilian mambos, Cuban stompers or punchy sambas. The results are very floor-friendly, with just the right balance between the horn-heavy, Latino authenticity of the source material and the contemporary beats, breaks and effects. All four tracks appear 'tried and tested' and sound like they could create pandemonium if dropped at the right time. If we had to pick a highlight, it would probably be the gritty, breathless opener from Smugdruggler - though Panama Cardoon's Tito Puente-ish "Shingaling" isn't far behind.

Review: A singer and songwriter, who's made a name for herself by recording and performing using all manner of eccentric accessories including typewriters, cheese graters, chopping boards and other assorted household goods, Bev Lee Harling's debut album for Wah Wah 45s was recorded with Rogall from Micatone and brilliantly mixes her delicate jazz vocals with printer noises ("Robots and Angels") or more conventional blues instrumentation ("Devil's On Your Tail") to create an album as refreshing and slightly bonkers as Camille's "Ilo Veyou".
