Review: Don't be put off by the title if, like this reviewer, you're not a big fan of Afrobeat, high-life and so on, because there are no frantic polyrhythms or chanted/panted vox here. Instead, Sound Exhibitions regulars Ltg Long Travel Groove and Funk O'Ya serve up three cuts from the more melancholy and downtempo side of the street, with 'Freeze Beat' topping complex, cascading hand percussion with mournful jazz sax and 'Deep In Stereo' a languid drum groove augmented by strings and treated vox. 'Right Way' flips the script a little, being slightly more upbeat and closer to a straight-up disco funker, and completes an EP that's well worth investigating.

Review: Time now to take a stroll down one of disco's more soulful boulevards in the company of Italian Sound Exhibitions regulars House Clan. The EP opens with 'Audio Thech', a collab with Funk O'Ya in which a soulful female "I know you can't live without me" vocal rides a fluid jazz-funk bassline, while fluttering guitars and shakers add a little Latin/tropical flava around the edges. After that we come to 'Souldisco' itself, an anthem to female empowerment and self-belief that leans even closer to straight-up contemporary soul, and that packs another hefty b-line, not to mention some truly sparkling keys work.

Review: Both Funk Windows and Funk O'Ya have numerous releases to their name but seemingly no online presence, making us suspect they're aliases for one or more of Sound Exhibitions' better-known artists. Whoever's behind it, though, this set of low-slung, low-tempo grooves will add a little leftfield spice to funk sets, with 'All Right' - which fuses funk geetar chops, mournful trumpet and a looped, Indian-sounding male vocal - taking the gold, though there's some fine Hammond work on 'Jat On Air'. Then again, India had quite a strong funk scene of its own in the 70s, so maybe these are re-edits... who can say?

Review: Italy's Sound Exhibitions serve up two phat slices of squelchy contemporary funk action courtesy of the mysterious Funk O'Ya. 'Star 80' itself pairs a rumbling electronic bassline with a lively horn section, rap vocal micro-snips and twangy geetar, and comes on like early 80s Cameo or Zapp given a 21st Century, post-rave overhaul. The accompanying 'Over The Top' is a more all-electronic affair, with acid squelches, a familiar spoken male "house one night" vocal and organ stabs redolent of early 90s New Jersey, making for a cut that'd work on house and more leftfield funk/disco floors alike.

Review: Over the last decade, the soundtrack to Miami Music Week's infamous pool parties has subtly shifted, with the traditional house of old being complimented by the addition of colourful and sun-kissed nu-disco selections. Sound Exhibitions' latest compilation celebrates this fact by offering up 21 suitably groovy and melodic productions, reworks and re-edits from the label's growing family of artists. Highlights include the hard-wired disco-funk stomp of Lego Edit and Vito Lalinga's "Bohannon Groove", the slap-bass propelled P-funk fuzziness of Phil Disco's "Dynamic Disco", the cowbell-driven dub disco of DJ Moy's "Bass Funk" and the synthesizer-sporting wall of sound that is Funk O'Ya's Balearic disco delight, "Eya Eya".

Review: DJ Moy and Funk O'Ya, working both separately and together, bring us five dispatches from the distant peripheries of the funk universe. 'Telefunk' (by Funk O'Ya) marries a low-slung bass groove to cut-up vox ? la early 80s hip-hop and strange, warbling Theremin-like sounds - think The Meters via Ninja Tune - and is followed by 'Dubdub', a collaborative effort and as fine a funk-dub meltdown as you'll hear all month. Moy's solo contributions 'Funky Express', 'Asia' and 'Metrofunk' then play us out on a more straight-up funk tip, but for imagination and originality it's the first two that really stand out.

Review: For the latest Sound Exhibitions missive, label regular DJ Moy sticks with tradition teaming up with compilation pal Funk O'YA. It's almost a year since their last instalment and they've amassed some serious artillery in the interim. The blunt title of "Funk Beat" sums up the tune perfectly featuring loops of wah-wah guitar, loose 70s percussion and raw and low bass. "The Trip" is pure Moon Safari-style 60s retro grooves and lastly "Destinations 9" is a sizzling disco-house roof-raiser!
