Shedits 4EXCLUSIVE
Review: You can most certainly tell we are moving into the height of summer as Daytoner steps out with a five track funk bonanza, courtesy of the Cabin Pressure Recordings team. Kicking off with the super groovy sounds of 'Salsational', which progresses pleasingly into the smooth pianos and call and response of 'Bang Bang'. Next, we move slightly more funky as the catchy vocal lines of 'Ye Mele' and the classic disco drum work of 'Comanche' wade into view. Finally, we finish off this very eclectic body of work with 'Bebo's Beat', pulling together Rat Pack style brass sections and subtle vinyl scratches for one hell of a finale.

Northern Beats Vol 2EXCLUSIVE
Review: Almost one year ago exactly, 'international funk barons', Beatnik City introduced us to their first selection of sensitively retouched northern souls gems on the first volume of this occasional series. Now having fully ingested all the goodness contain therein, we're ready for the next helping. There are ten new wonders to get lost in here. Highlights include hearing The Spinners' timeless melodies given a light and breezy Latin makeover on "Disco Shame", BadboE's smokin' breaks rework of a Velvelettes classic on "Breaking Down Motown" and finally Leygo's percussion-lead stomper, "Feels Good".

Scoured Swing Vol 01EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Spinforth, Clairvo (MustBeat), Cat in the Hat, Fort Knox Five, Hong Kong Ping Pong, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Funky Boogie Brothers, Tallulahgoodtimes, Mr Rich and The Caretaker
Review: From their recent online musings, it seems that the award-winning Scour Records seem to be as equally fond of the other type of swinging as they are the style of music they've done so well at releasing thus far. Thankfully here we're only about the music and what a lot of it there is on Scoured Swing Vol 1. Here label owner DJ Spinforth selects eight of the best new jams around. Highlights include the classy, laid back opener "About Me" by The Fritz, the dubstep-meets-Charleston vibes of "Swingers" by Father Funk and the epic electro-swing monster "Cufflinks & Caviar" by Tuxedo Junction.

Review: Crate digging in the Northern Soul scene is the gift that keeps on giving - an endless quest for rarer and rarer gems. Here Beatnik present a new collection that features nine classic Motown and Northern Soul cuts which have been sensitively retouched by some contemporary talent. Highlights include the celebratory, fizzy soul jam "Soul On Fire" by Shaka Loves You (yes, the one sampled by Beyonce), a Junkie XL-style makeover of Martha & The Vandellas on "Nowhere To Go" and Mak & Mr Bristow's muscled up take on The Rascals - "Olympic Lovin".

Review: A UK producer intent on perfecting the ultimate retro sunkissed sounds, Daytoner has been holed up in his studio fine-tuning the follow-up to 2012's Sunburst Radio. A recent stopgap EP saw the producer dabble with some re-edits, but the 13 new cuts on Synchronicity are all his own work. Highlights of the LP include the flute-laden, fruity funk of opener "Sauce Of The Nile", the saxy, Rhodesy disco glam of "Halo Moon" and the lounge-beats and cloud-of-pot-smoke that is "Half A Mansfield Please". A quality return from this elusive musician.

The Latin Leaks Vol 1EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Spinforth, Clairvo (MustBeat), Luis Machuca, Jayl Funk, Savages Y Suefo, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Galletas Calientes, Richard Rossa, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: Should you want to turn your place into a swinging cantina let Beatnik City's first release of The Latin Leaks be your soundtrack, and slam those tequila's to "Uhh! Ahh". There's some sampled Wu Tang thrown in among a clamour of drums in "Shimmy Cumbia", while tempos are lowered in "Lift Ma Soul". For some electro-swing vibes check out "Golden Boy" and get tropical on "Real Smooth". Consider your next fiesta sorted!

Best Of The Shedits Volume 1EXCLUSIVE
Review: Daytoner appeared on many a music lover's radar with album Sunburst Radio back in 2012. Since then he's gone underground, but now re-emerges into daylight with four feel good anthems. The sound of the EP is split right down the middle with "Stevies Stomp" being a raucous re-jig of Wonder's Uptight and "Smokin'" being a more bewitching take on similar 60s soul, whilst there's a rockier 70s sound in the second half. "Keiths Soup Thing" is big beat take on classic Stones and "Like Jumping" is an effervescent slice of jump up, pop-ska at its sunniest.

The Rio District Vol 1EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Shantisan, Voodoocuts, Fab Samperi, Bakerman, Relative Dimensions, Juno Recommends International, KUT FUNK
Review: For this, their inaugural release, Beatnik City round up a pan-international squad (including British, Italians and Brazilians) in what proves to be a great homage to 'the world's sexiest city'. There's seven tracks here - all of which look back to the hazy golden 1960s and conjures up vintage Copacabana vibes through a combination of salsa and Latin loungey sounds and melodies all welded to tougher modern breaks for a contemporary slant.

Daytoner feat Lucy Richards
Review: A shady character perversely in love with the light of 1960s production, Daytoner dispatches his retro bursts of American sunshine from his English shed. "Treat Me" appears to be concealing a cheeky bassline sample of The Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself (or similar) over which Lucy Richards lays down an impressive Aretha-style vocal. On remixes duties, Suonho turns out a stomping disco-funk version while Tenoshi opts for a good times ska-tinged workout.

Review: Daytoner is a mysterious producer who resides in the far west of England and is obsessed with perfecting his vision of 60s-tinged sunshine music from his studio shed. This album features 15 tracks of warm, familiar, feel-good tunes, the highlights of which include the euphoric R&B-soul of "Little Soul", the retro bossa nova of "Benz Bargin Bin Bossa", the gentle "From The Root To The Fruit", the Motown-esque "Treat Me" and "Tell The World" which quite frankly sounds like the theme to retro TV show, Taxi!
