Review: Vocalist, DJ and producer Allysha Joy helms this 14-track compilation from CoOp Presents, which is designed to showcase the cream of the rising bruk beat crop from Down Under. As you'd expect given the sheer number of artists on board there's a fair degree of stylistic variety on offer, but broadly speaking the tracks here range from the drifty and Balearic (see Squidgenini's 'Prophecy'), to what's essentially straight-up soul-jazz (Special Feelings' 'On Heat'), to edgier, steppier dancefloor cuts like the title track and Joy's own Lanu collab 'Rewind', with pointless noodling and self-indulgent 'experimentalism' kept - thankfully - to a minimum.
