Review: A nine-piece outfit from Hamburg, Diazpora formed back in 2002 and haven't looked back since. For them its all about the grooves and the funk, and now they've reached their fifth album, Islands. There are 13 tracks here that fuse live bass, horns, guitar and Hammond organs in their unique 'no-school' sound. In addition to all this mayhem, the band now boasts a brand singer and 'soul mate', Axel Feige, guitarist and singer of Absolem Max fame. Great to hear that their quest for true funk is continuing in fine style!
Review: It seems that the guys at Legere are really getting into this trawling through the vaults shizzle, as here we have yet another themed compilation. It's certainly a good way to demonstrate the breadth of the label's scope, and after recent downbeat and disco orientated collections, this album explores the variety of remixes that have passed through their doors over the years. Highlights include the crunchy, breaky electro of Malente's take on "Another Man", the glorious vintage disco abandon of "Dazz (Patchworks remix)" and the lazy, retro hip-hop funk of "Interlude (Pitch & Scratch mix)".
