Review: By now, we should all know what to expect from Heist Recordings' annual Round Up releases - label artists remixing each other, basically - so we'll crack on and talk about the music on offer. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, with our picks including Alma Negra's deliciously percussive and groovy take on Scan 7's gospel-tinged Motor City gem 'All For Me', Scan 7's breezy, Latin-tinged Detroit house revision of Crackazat's 'Class One', Crackazat's Ethio-jazz-goes-sunshine house rework of Alma Negra's 'Dakar Disco', and Kassian's driving, warehouse-ready remix of Nebraska's 'Dip & Flip', which makes great use of thumping beats, undulating electronics and a seriously dirty analogue bassline. As the old saying goes, this seventh volume in The Round Up series really is "all killer, no filler".

Review: Connecting the dots between labels like Highlife (Huntley & Palmers) to Basic Fingers and Lumberjacks In Hell, Alma Negra bring their undeniable sound back to Heist Recordings. It follows the 2018 Conversations EP which sees the Swiss trio turn in a classic dubbed out synthline and jazzed-up rebirth of cool in "Contra". "Back In Town" throws down some heavy percussion and Afro-Rhythms alongside an insatiable vocal sweep. Winding it back to the top is "Dakar Disco" that's been sent through the orchestral pit of japanese artist and discophile Kuniyuki (tip!) giving some extra flamboyance its original funk premise. From disco to Dakar and beyond!

Review: To date, Swiss quartet Alma Negra has carved a successful niche as makers of heavily percussive EP singles that look to the rhythms of Africa for inspiration. This outing for Heist Recordings draws on many similar influences, but shuffles further towards original production than their rework style back catalogue. Opener "Afrorleans" is a jaunty trip into shuffling Afro-house territory in the company of a cabal of Cajun musicians, while "Luanda Dub" is a booming, bass heavy late night trip full of swirling vocal samples and densely layered drum hits. If you are after some party-starting Afro-disco/deep house fusion of standout, then "Endless Summer" and a cracking Soulphiction remix of the same track will pushes a rubbery disco bassline to the fore to devastating effect.
