Review:
Germany's Switchstance named themselves after a surfboarding move in which the surfer, while gliding on the water, becomes so free that he is able to switch stance mid flow. Or something. Anyway this also relates to their musical ethos, where they hope to encourage a similar freedom within their own artists. This release is the label's second collaboration project of the year, this time pitting their own Kabanjak against Canadian DMC champ, Brace. Apparently recording together for 'three days next to a tree of mystery', the results are a quality fusion of hazy, psychedelic world flavours and choppy hip-hop cuts.

Review:
German twosome Deela's career may have passed you by. Don't worry, though, because help is at hand in the shape of this action-packed Best Of from Switchstance. If you dig afrobeat, jazz, Latin and funk, there's plenty to enjoy. From the snappy beats and soft focus Cuban vibes of Flamenco guitar-laden jam "Perrero" and tango/hip-hop fusion of "Shelter Blues", to the relentless percussion of "Absourdo" and effortless jazz-funk breaks of "Enjoy", Deela cleverly combine the best global flavours in breezy, dancefloor-friendly chunks. There's even a short, sun-flecked blast of downtempo Balaeric goodness in the shape of closer "King Alpha & Queen Omega".

Review:
Deela: a pair of German funksters who speak with a wholly international tongue. Rumbullion: the antiquated full name for rum. There's very little not to like in those definitions. And there's very little not to like on this sophomore album. The long-awaited follow up to 2007's Mano Mano, it's business as usual as we fly through 10 examples of well executed Afro, dub, Cuban, Latino and thoroughbred funk. From the deeply hypnotic swing of "Ruff & Tuff" to the more UK-bass inspired swagger of "Scars & Bruises" via the synapse-snapping club banger "Drumbullion", Rumbullion is as tasty and intoxicating as its name suggests.

Review:
The studio alias of German producer Ingo Moell, Deela's mastery of Afro-funk, jazz, Latin and hip-hop has seen him work with the Jungle Brothers and in turn has been remixed by the likes of Kid Loco and Radio Citizen. This new EP might just be his best yet - with the incredible, nu-soul shimmy of "More Kindness" nestling up nicely against the epic spacey hip-hop vibe of "Tell Me Your Secrets" - a heady mix of swirling echo-jazz and raw drums. "Mistura" brings out the carnival whistles and kaleidoscopic percussion for a rousing closer, while Diesler's mix of "Tell Me Your Secrets" is also included as a nicely electroid counterpoint to the organic-sounding original.

Review:
A one man funk and salsa producer, Deela is joined for once by a formidable vocalist - in the form of Maria Garcia Lopez - on this single, which adds a more traditional slant to modern Latin music while still benefiting from beefed-up production that pumps the bass and beats just right. Look out for a killer step up into house tempo midway through too.

Review:
New on Switchstance Records, LA multi-instrumentalist Fat Albert Einstein uses the simple answering message to provide a constant theme throughout this full-length mystical voyage of an album. Using echoey voicemail as a form of constant narrative over the record, FAE uses a smoky funk soundtrack of all his own making to make this a truly memorable modern funk LP. From the rich '50s reggae/cumbia of "The Dump", the Texan funk of "Appalachia" or the doomy psych organs of "Grinder", this is a hugely rewarding album that deserves repeat listening.

Review:
A hugely enjoyable long-player from Essen's Protassov, who combines all manner of nu-jazz, downbeat, funk, exotica and abstract influences onto "Best Of". Melancholy jazz work-outs (such as the bass and harp-led "When We Dance") sit nicely up against slow reggae and dub ("Butterfly Dub" and "New March") while the influence of Tru Thoughts and Ninja Tune's collective output is never too far away on tracks like "I Wonder" and "Burn". A delicate, engrossing listen with much to gain from from repeated plays.
