Review: Jalapeno apply a little label synergy and hook Featurecast up with their golden-larynxed crooner John Turrell. The end result teeters on edge of ballad in the best possible way; soft keys, silky guitars and a smooth soothing groove. Serious bar, beach or bedtime material. Remixwise Featurecast adds his own funk mix before handing over duties to Heavyfeet (jacking house with nice speed garage undertones) and Psychemagik (trippy, cosmic and timeless). Beautiful stuff.

Review: Bristol duo Boca 4 and Parker have already treated fans to this year's Ascending Change EP and now follow it up with their debut album - a beautifully constructed mixture of trip-hop breaks, stirring strings and a lot of soul. "So Long" featuring Sarah Scott on vocals is a beauty, with descending cellos and violins filtered up over the verses, while the pair's pastoral obsessions shine through on "Spring Forward", which approaches dubstep from a very unusual and highly original, string-blessed angle. With veteran UK MC Mystro on the rabble-rousing "Queen Bee", this is an unexpected peach of an album that confounds your expectations every step of the way.

Review: Dutch house powerhouse Kraak & Smaak drop a favourite from their recent album "Electric Hustle", which features the rugged-yet-soothing vocals of house legend Romanthony. While their original is a quiet storm of minimal drums and classic house stabs, Roach Motel drop two fleshed-out revisits that lend the tune a building, club-happy vibe. Psychemagik flip the tune too, creating an Italo-leaning beauty with Romanthony's detuned vocals giving it an epic quality.

Review: Mainstays on Jalapeno since 2003, Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak take a pleasing left-turn on this glamour-soaked new single featuring Lex Empress. Recalling the regal delivery of '60s divas like Shirley Bassey or Dusty Springfield, Lex Empress delivers a stirring vocal over a pop-meets-popcorn funk backing from K&S - full of live drums, brass and a particularly sprightly bassline. Having forged live funk with breaks for years, this all-live direction suits them very well indeed.

Review: Under his Quasamodo guise, Dimitri Nassios, recently set tongues wagging with his releases on Greek funk imprint Timewarp. This new EP however, arrives courtesy of Jalapeno Records, but the vibe's the same, man. "Can't Hold Me Down" is like Latino funky house and bears more than a passing similarity to Armand Van Helden's famous Professional Window remix. The wah-wah soul of "Change Is Strange" is the second tune here to feature the leather-lunged vocals of powerhouse Thalia. "Son Of Shaft" takes the famous blaxploitation theme and slips a breakbeat under its backside, while "Funkenstein" is total 70s funk wig-out.

Review: The first official release from this up and coming Brighton beat-mangler, "Come A Little Closer" follows mixes for Wah Wah 45s and Tru Thoughts and marks his debut on Jalapeno. While the title tune uses some hazy sampled trip-hop textures over a midtempo beat, "Can We Pretend" rocks a Dilla beat over which layers of fragmented chimes and stuttering chords are plastered. The highlight though has to be his reinterpretation of Marvin Gaye's early-Motown hit "Ain't That Peculiar" - a soulful yet wonky hip-hop-inspired gem that puts an entirely new swing on a classic.

Review: A duo that have a phenomenal amount of fans despite never being picked up by the mainstream, Jalapeno duo Smoove & Turrell return after their 2009 debut Antique Soul. Combining funk beats with Turrell's gutsy and gravelly vocals works wonders again on big tunes like the Northern Soul stomp of "Higher" or the mellow nu-disco of "In Deep". This combination of producer and singer have struck gold again, and Eccentric Audio should see them seriously make an impact this time around.

Deekline & Ed Solo don their D&B heads up for an uptempo blockrocker, Chicky Boom opt for more of a UK garage swing reversion while WBBL shove some P-funk and sparkly vibes upside your head.

Review: Dutch funkateers Kraak & Smaak have never quite achieved the wider acclaim their music probably deserves. While unfashionable in many regards, their records - an entertaining blend of classic funk, live disco, rubbery electrofunk and, more recently, old skool piano house - are rarely anything less than enjoyable. What's more, their live shows are superb. Perhaps Electric Hustle, their first full-length since 2008, will be their breakthrough record. In truth, it's as unashamedly joyous as any of their previous sets, and once again flutters between boogie-licious house, elastic funk, electrofunk, vocal showstoppers and even the odd bittersweet ballad. It's not clever, but Electric Hustle is certainly big.

His pal Lonely Boy delivers a killer remix too, which is nine minutes of deep funky house with added doomy synth work.

Review: You could quite easily call this collection of edits, remixes and collabos an album. Technically it's a compilation but Smoove's ability as a both a producer and selector really glue this compendium together. Which is mad as he ticks a lot of party boxes; from Womack style high production funk soul (Electric Empire's "Baby Your Lovin'") to piano-punctuated party breaks (Kraak & Smaak's "Call Up To Heaven") to sexy bossa nova (Kojato & The Afro Latin Cougaritas "Like A Gypsy"), Smoove lives up to his name, easing from genre to genre with genuine class. Final props are essential on his Northern soul style floor-pounding remix of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". A true party piece.

Review: Is it just us or are Basement Freaks albums getting funkier and funkier? As hinted with their Soul Digga EP last winter, the trio just keep getting more organic and authentic, this being their most engaging, juiciest funk LP to date. From the Alabama 3 meets the Daptones style "Gimme More" to the insanely authentic Parliament skit "Disco Boy" via the mild skank bounce, organ noodling and Troutman crooning on "Red Light Streets", this really is party dynamite. Basement Freaks are ruling the nu-funk scene right now.

Review: Taken from their recent "Eccentric Audio" album, geordie nu-funk soul stars Smoove and Turrell end the year on a high with "Gabriel". Singer John Turrell gets to flex his enormous lungs around this slow and hugely affecting tune, which is given a subtle touch from producer Smoove with live drums and a phalanx of backing vocals at its core. Another winner from this much-loved modern soul duo.

Review: Following on from his Something Freaky LP, Greek funky breaks machine Basement Freaks drops "Get Down Boogie" as a single. BF's original contains his trademark live band-meets-samples formula and is a perfect song for spring, while Funkanomics creates more of a solid disco mix out of the funk-riddled original. The standout though has to be Fab Samperi's, jazzed-up double-time transformation - perfect for fans of electro-swing.
