Review: Paris - Barcelona joint venture La Belle present the second edition of One Night Stands, which is a compilation they describe as danceable but freaked-out electronics that push the boundaries of what the underground is in the year 2020, featuring 'slo-mo synth-pop, lo-fi fusion, space dubs, tribal grooves and spiralling nu-disco electronics'. Highlights not limited to: Get A Room!'s deep dive into the dreamy exotic titled "Jungle Night Walk", Ellis Island Afro / folk / punk-funk collide on the wonderful "Ahah", Front De Cadeaux take you on a deeply meditative trip into the rainforest on "De Puta Madre Terra" and AKKAN's glassy-eyed and bittersweet deep house journey "La Tramuntana" closes out this terrific collection.

Review: La Belle is a multinational label owned and managed by three friends in Paris: Antoine Harispuru (Golden Bug), Herr Styler and the La Tebwa Records' head honcho who goes unnamed in this instance (enigmatic!). Eight years, 20 artists and 43 releases, it has quickly established itself with its unique style. Now, they present the One Night Stands series: a unique collection of unreleased tracks, sought-out and selected with all the experience and the appetite of the founders. From London to Tel Aviv via Madrid and Paris, One Night Stands mixes well-established projects such as Golden Bug, In Fields, In Flagranti, Akkan and DESTIINO (Yuksek's side project), as well as newer artists like Sebastopol, Youkounkoun, Ozzy and many others

Review: Akkan is the Barcelona based production partnership between prolific natives BeGun and Ocellot. They came together after a magic mushroom induced psychotropic journey in the Kalahari Desert - and that is reflected in their sounds which build on idiosyncratic and trippy melodies and ethnic rhythms. The Kai EP follows up last year's tremendous Bananat EP and features the blissed-out and exotic title track, which receives a slo-mo and very lo-slung rework by El Buho (Wonderwheel) followed by a truly trance-inducing remix by Mexico's Inigo Vontier (Calypso Records/Turbo Recordings) who utilises the original's sultry vocals to stunning effect.

Review: Debutant twosome Akkan apparently has a penchant for psychedelic disco flavours and African percussioon. That's certainly what they deliver on superb opener "Bananat", where fluttering flutes, exotic vocal samples, whistling synth motifs and foreboding electronics rise above a loose and layered rhythm track (think sturdy kick drums and off-kilter hand percussion). The warmer and thicker "Ayuca" wanders further towards deep Afro-house territory whilst retaining their darting electronics and woozy synthesizers, while "Papayah" is a storming take on cheery piano house fused with the electronic Marimba lines and pitched-up chants. To complete an intriguing package, Nadvue provides a decidedly psychedelic nu-disco remix of "Bananat".
