Review:
Italian compilation giant Irma do sign acts too, and here they have a very credible new addition to their chill out roster in the shape of The Blue Hammock. "Your Atmosphere" is a 16-track collection of covers, largely all 80s ballads (which stylistically lend themselves very well to chill out reworks) including Spandau Ballet's "I'll Fly For You", Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer", The Art Of Noise's "Moments In Love" and 90s hits "Wonderwall" by Oasis and "Take A Bow" by Madonna.

Review:
We've been waiting a LONG time for this one! Miguel Mantovani, Archerio Mantovani and Kengo San have been teasing and pleasing with their tongue-in-cheek funk on wax and on stage for years... We always knew when an album drops it would be big. And just look at the line-up - Kurtis Blow, Abdominal, Mica Paris, Tenor Fly, Omar, KT Tunstall are all collaborating across this 15 track funk explosion. With licks from James Brown endorsed CBs band and the perfect balance of tight riddims and humour, "Yo Bonita" rocks in every sense. Essential.

Review:
Banks is an aspiring female singer hailing from Los Angeles. She's very trusting, offering her phone number on Facebook as 'social media has never been my thing". We reckon that number won't be online for long as judging by the tune, she is surely is destined for big things. Someone who did phone that number is acclaimed British producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs who has produced this dreamy and almost beatless example of hipster RnB (PBRnB anyone?) at it's finest.

Review:
They say that Tuesday's child is full grace. It's certainly true of the productions of Tuesday Born, aka multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Benn. This release sees him leave behind his previous fascinations with Africa and South America to a slightly more traditional North American sound. The quality doesn't suffer though, as "Wake" is a strong take on the Stateside RnB ballad and is successful thanks to a deep and jazzy female vocal. Remixes come from One Inch Punch (shuffle-step) and Pale (broken micro-garage).

Milanese Schema label boss and all-round legend Gerardo Frisina teams up here with pal DJ Skizo to deliver a little two-track stop-gap release. "Voices Of The Jungle" has that familiar exotica vibe to it - all seductive piano chords and percussive breaks. Meanwhile "Orient" features a housier backing and trumpet solos aplenty.

Review:
A special dedication to his formative days praying at the good church of hip-hop, cutting and pasting in Sunday school, Venice Beach member Moar gets down and does the caterpillar. An eclectic ensemble of loops and compositions, this lick shots from Senor Coconut to Bambaataa and back again with its frenetic arrangement of swinging drums, cheeky samples and crafty editing. Highlights include the bongo and fuzz box fusion of "2 vs 2" and low-swung bass shuffle and swing of "Bump On". Moar please!

Review:
It's been less than 12 months since the last Hot 8 Brass Band full-length, but the New Orleans nine-piece are clearly on a roll. Tombstone, their third album, is every bit as thrilling, intoxicating and funky as their previous albums. Showcasing their terrific live playing and instinctive Louisiana swing, it sounds like a recording of the best impromptu party you've never been to. This time round, there are no gimmicky covers and unusual interpretations, just a string of booming, horn-heavy compositions that showcase their impeccable skills to the max. In truth, it's all the better for it; arguably, Tombstone is their strongest album to date.

Review:
Although we're glad to see the back of winter, it's OK to greet this "Verge Of Winter" with warm arms. Bristolian producer, Zoon Van Snook, began by playing keyboards in any indie band that'd have him. He made the jump into making his own electronica a few years ago and has received much acclaim. Following recent album "The Bridge Between Life & Death", ZVS is back with this new one-off featuring maudlin cello over trip-hop beats and tinkling piano. Isan remixes it in a gentle bottle-playing style while Sir Doufuss Styles summons the ghost of early Air for his mix.

Having recently grabbed our attention with lead single "Pictures", this 26 year old producer now unveils his self-proclaimed 'psychedelic hip-hop' album aptly titled "The Trip". Aside from the single, there's a further 17 tracks on here brimming with strange sounds and ideas, from the Public Enemy-sampling "Once Again Back (Tune In)" to crackling 60s piano clips with hip-hop beats ("Psychedelic Club Scene") and the stoner DJ Shadow-isms of "Dexy Lovecraft" via hammonds and big beat ("Clouds of Zero"). Far out man!

Review:
We can always rely on French funkateers Soulab to keep us supplied with regular selections of vintage sounding modern soul gems. This latest compilation features a host of their regular artists and once again the quality is up there. Highlights include the futuristic electro-funk of LA Mitchell's "The Ease", the hazy g-funk vibes of Uraz Kurt's "Remember The Light", the dark, broken electro-hop of Isaac Aesili's "Freedom Cry" and the crazy garage boogie shuffle of Proser & Azaxx's "Prince Is Not Dead".

Review:
Nu-soul Irishman Colm K is back in business with some more of his classy and classic sounding jams. Things begin with him making the impossible sound possible: "The Attic" making 80s wine bar funk sound cool. Elsewhere he's on a deeper, less showy tip: "Nothing" being a hazy 90s memory on loop, "Good Fridays" add a bit of shuffle and swing to the formula, and finally "Spaced" incorporates a vintage RnB vibe to his already impressive repertoire.
