Katakana Edits Vol 144EXCLUSIVE
Review: Greek producer Goji Berry made his Katakana debut on the multi-artist 'Vol 50' EP back in 2017. Since then he's appeared on two further V/A EPs in the series as well as helming six of his own, most recently Vols 142 and 140. Now he's back with 'Vol 144', which finds him reworking a brace of classic soul/funk jams, namely Wilson Pickett's 'Funky Broadway' from 1967 and Lonnie Liston Smith's 'A Chance For Peace', taken from 1975's 'Visions Of A New World' album. Given the calibre of the source material, it's hard to go wrong, really - and Goji Berry certainly doesn't.

Katakana Edits Vol 142EXCLUSIVE
Review: Shadowy scalpel field Goji Berry has been one of Katakana Edits' most reliable contributors of recent years. Since making his or her debut in 2018, the publicity-shy producer has returned on countless occasions. So, what's on offer this time round? Two bona-fide party-starting reworks, that's what. 'House Party' subtly beefs up, speeds up and loops up the Fred Wesley track of the same name (or at least a version of that classic cut), while 'It's All Right Now' sees Goji Berry charge, arms aloft, towards down-low disco-funk territory while straightening out and thickening out his source material's lose and sweat-soaked drums.

Katakana Edits Vol 140EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Breakbeat
Review: Next up on the super impressive Katakana Edits series, a spicy set of weapons indeed as we take a look into a Goji Berry special. The track itself takes the title 'Sliced Berries' and takes an unmistakable vocal lead and reworks it into a fusion of futuristic breaks and rock and roll. It's quite a task to take such an immediately recognizable vocal and give it an entirely new feeling, but that is something that we see achieved here through numerous key changes and unique instrumentation. Alongside the original rework, we also see an extended mix addition, alongside a full instrumental offering to allow DJ's to play until their hearts are content.

Katakana Edits Vol 130EXCLUSIVE
Review: At the controls for Vol 130 in the 'Katakana Edits' series is Goji Berry, who returns to the stable after previously helming Vols 69 and 93 and appearing on several earlier editions. First to come under his scalpel is 'Going Back To My Roots': the track's perhaps best known to most via covers from Richie Havens, Odyssey or FPI Project, but it's Motown legend Lamont Dozier's 1977 original that gets the treatment here. That's followed by the raw, blistering funk of Rufus Thomas's 'Itch And Scratch' from 1972; put together, the two tracks add up to one small but perfectly formed package.

Katakana Edits Vol 125EXCLUSIVE
Review: The Katakana crew tick off the first milestone on the road to their second century, with Goji Berry doing the honours for Vol 125. It's a simple two-track affair this time out, with 'Sometimes I Feel' biting an unidentified male-sung take on the classic 'Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child' (a traditional Southern spiritual made famous by Odetta and Paul Robeson, and rendered here in a style that recalls the likes of Bill Withers, William De Vaughn or even Al Green), while the far more rumbustious 'Get Off My Back' reworks 1969's 'Get Off My Back Woman' by blues legend BB King.

Katakana Crate Diggin Vol IIEXCLUSIVE
Review: Katakana Edits first compilation, 2017's "Crate Diggin", was an epic collection of high-grade re-edits, mash-ups and reworks packed to the rafters with tried-and-tested dancefloor treats. This belated follow-up is even more epic, with the popular label squeezing in no less than 50 tracks that variously touch on riotous disco-funk, dub disco, new wave, disco-rock, deep funk, Afro-boogie, swamp funk, Latin beats, boogie, pitched-down chuggers, boogaloo, hip-hop and everything in between. You'd expect that standard to be high - it is a "best of" collection after all - and it is. If you need an instant armoury of scintillating club cuts, look no further.

Katakana Edits Vol 69EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Disco
Review: Having contributed tracks to a number of their compilation style EPs, the Katakana Edits crew has finally offered Goji Berry a solo release. The mysterious re-editor has grasped the opportunity with both hands, delivering two killer rubs that should make their way into the playlists of lots of discerning DJs. First up is "Night and Reggae", a bouncy, hands-aloft-at-a-beach-party revision of a little-known 1980s pop-reggae number full of sweet vocals, jaunty horn stabs and rolling synthesizer basslines. "Wouldn't I" is similarly sweet, synth-heavy and 1980s in origin, with a chunkier house beat, eyes-closed guitar solos and dreamier chords adding to the holiday mood.

Katakana Edits Vol 58EXCLUSIVE
Review: Fray Bentos is Adam Billingham - currently a resident DJ with Brighton's infamous Soul Casserole crew. He has supported the likes of Norman Jay, Craig Charles, Don Letts, Giles Peterson and The Reflex during his tenure. He returns on the trusty Katakana Edits with more handy resplices of golden oldies for modern audiences, supported by Goji Berry and Hawwis here for the label's 58th edition. Bentos' "Magic Work" is a lo-slung affair with a rolling funk bassline and some shimmering synth work - it's an edit of something quite familiar you think - but then that vocal dops and it finally hits you! Greece's Goji Berry delivers some smooth Italo styled business on "Mama" while Manchester's Hawwis serves up the sweltering Afro vibes and gets totally spiritual on "Amiga".

Katakana Crate DigginEXCLUSIVE
Played by: The Allergies, Valique, Craig Charles Funk And Soul, X-Ray Ted, J&M BROTHERS, Morlack, Disco Funk Spinner - D.F.S
Review: This decidedly epic collection marks Katakana Edits's first foray into the compilation market and is designed as a "best-of" style outing. It boasts 30 reworks, mash-ups, remixes and re-edits gleamed from the prolific imprint's first 50 singles. Naturally, club-ready material comes thick and fast, with a multitude of genres - think swamp funk, disco, dub disco, electrofunk, Italo-disco, hip-hop, reggae and dancehall - and wide variety of tempos represented. Naturally, some of the reworks tend towards the well known, though there are also plenty of rubs of lesser-known gems for those who want to dig deeper than familiar peak-time anthems. Most importantly, the standard remains impressively high throughout.

Katakana Edits Vol 54EXCLUSIVE
Review: The 54th EP from prolific rework imprint Katakana Edits is a triple-header, featuring hot new cut-jobs from Goji Berry, Little Prince and DJ Laurel. The latter's "Right On" is an undeniably sweet and soulful affair, with the producer underpinning slick '80s soul vocals and rising disco-funk horns with a low-slung, filter-heavy breakbeat groove. Although Little Prince's "Getting Down To Cuba" is an undeniably cheery peak-time affair - he adds a little house flavour to a Caribbean disco classic - the undoubted star of the show is Goji Berry. The producer serves up a trio of edits, with the hybrid Italo-disco/ electro-funk jauntiness of "I Need" and slow-mo, saucer-eyed vibes of "In The Heat" standing out.

Katakana Edits Vol 50EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Stephen Richards (DiscoDaze)
Review: Congratulations to the Katakana Edits crew, who have now reached a half-century of releases. Their 50th EP of sneaky reworks boasts contributions not from familiar label favourites, but a couple of hitherto unseen debutants. SOKA takes top marks for opener "Happiness (Dirty Dub Redaction)", a brilliant dub disco style revision of a cheery disco anthem full of echoing vocal snippets, loose-limbed drum fills and what sound like backwards guitar solos. Soka's second contribution, "Baretta", sees the producer move further towards jazzy, funk-fuelled deep house territory via all manner of woodwind and brass solos, while Goji Berry's "Lay Me" is a sensual and eccentric chunk of slow motion disco sleaze.
