Review: A masterful meeting of minds here, as spiritual house legend Joaquin 'Joe' Clausell offers his interpretations of former Gil Scott-Heron collaborator Brian Jackson's 'Mami Wata', a fine, sun-soaked cover of a traditional African song. Jackson's original version, which blends West African percussion with jazz-funk style Clavinet lines, flute solos and nods towards South American dance music, is reworked three times by Clausell. He first delivers an extra-percussive, superbly spiritual 'House Dance Dub Reprise', before opting for a more musically rich, expansive and sun-kissed feel on the accurately titled 'Deep Dub'. Arguably best of all, though, is his pitched-down 'Cosmic Arts Instrumental Slow Dub', which is closer in feel to Jackson's original while adding extra layers of spacey synth sounds and a genuinely deep and weighty bassline.

Review: BBE put out music across a wide stylistic spectrum, so when (as here) the label staff pick out their own personal faves from the past year's releases, the one thing you can be sure of is that the collection's never going to get boring or same-y. With tracks ranging from the freeform jzz of the Koichi Matsukaze Trio's opener to the vivacious high-life of Eji Oyewole's 'Unity In Africa', via Matty Heilbronn's rerub of a Louie Vega/Leroy Burgess take on disco/funk classic 'Barely Breaking Even', not every track here will delight every listener, admittedly, but there's no doubting the quality of what's on offer - making this a compilation that's perhaps best viewed as a jumping-off point for further explorations in the future.
