Review:
Dave Lister, sorry Craig Charles, isn't holding back when he says that his new compilation 'contains 19 rip snorting tunes guaranteed to tear the roof off any venue festival or house party in the known universe'. He's not far wrong either as, much like his popular 6Music show of the same name, he delivers a booty-shaking selection of vintage and modern, soul, funk and blues music. Highlights include The Bamboos' high energy banger, "Amen Brother", the everybody-knows-it "Clap Hands Song", Nostalgia 77's remarkable take on "7 Nation Army" and Al Wilson's beguiling "The Snake".

Review:
The recent album Hill Of Feathers by former dance vocalist Hannah Williams and her retro-soul outfit The Tastemakers is the LP that just keeps on giving. "Tell Me Something (Liberties)" is the latest single to be culled from said album and is one of the record's best showcases for her remarkable raw and dexterous voice - all set to an authentic 60s slow groove. Non-album track "Je M'appelle Le Saxophone" goes for some cod-French lounge action and largely succeeds.

Review:
Well known for over a decade as leader of Afro-rock powerhouse Kokolo, Ray Lugo has finally found the time to drop a solo album on the Jazz & Milk label, featuring esteemed vocalists and players such as Dap Kings percussionist Fernando Velez and Joe Bataan guitarist Andy Averbuch. 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:
It's difficult to make dance music with 'real' instruments, as so many second rate punk funk acts have proved, but Miami proves to be an anomaly. BBF have taken inspiration from jazz influences for this album, which makes for an adventurous, at times breathless work. At one end of the spectrum there's the seductive piano lines and soaring woodwind of the title track and "Miami Titles", while at the other there's the high tempo, syncopated rhythms and deranged brass of "Skiffle It Up" and "Broken Pieces", which features a contribution from Jamie Lidell. Another contributor, Nina Kraviz, helps to turn the air blue on the abrasive "Verwahrlosung", but in the main, Miami is a work inspired by warm sea breezes and ice cold cocktails.

Review:
Having already won praise from Sharon Jones, Craig Charles and Jazz Cafe/Freestyle boss Adrian Gibson, it's fair to say that London nine-piece Hannah Williams and the Tastemakers are among the hottest-tipped outfits on the revivalist soul scene. This debut album confirms their quality. Boasting a deep soul sound and vintage production, A Hill of Feathers is in many ways a British take on the formula developed by the Daptone label. Williams, who previously worked with D&B loon John B, is a perfect front woman. Her gritty, urgent vocals perfectly compliment the Tastemakers stomping soul sounds. The result is a strong debut album that should be essential listening for soul enthusiasts the world over.
