Review: Following on from the success of his recent Timewarp debut 11:11, the Athens-based, funk-obsessed label has now decided to release a selection of the Spanish producer's best cuts in remixed form. There's three mixes of "Funky Dog" here, the best being Afternoons In Stereo's pumping sleazy disco take and Apedroid's blissed out Ibiza sunset mix. Quincy Jointz reworks "Cinderella Girl" as a tight, electronic funk workout with Balearic overtones. "Wait" gets a raw going over from Dan Wilde, complete with edgy electro-bassline, while Mr Chombee opts for a poppier, boogie-ish version. However, with its hybrid of Spanish guitar, throbbing bass and bonkers flute, the Freethinker Funk Essence mix of "Mi Sello" is one of the standout tracks of this release.

Review: Canadian producer, Afternoons In Stereo, has been on hiatus since 2011, but it hasn't stopped his name appearing on a host of remixes of other acts ever since. Now the Athens-based Timewarp label has decided to collect the best of all these appearances in a one-stop-shop release. There are 11 top-notch tracks here. Some choice picks include the loungey bass grooves of "Growth Strategies", the reggae funk of "Jamaican", the retro ghetto stomp of "Step On", the almost electro-Bhangra of "Rose Of Ispahan" and the authentic disco workout "Funky Dog". A perfect stopgap release whilst we wait for this prolific producers new studio album, due 2013.

Review: Spanish DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mr Gagun makes his debut for Timewarp with an album bristling with horn-heavy groovery. Gagun's sound is heavily steeped in funk and soul, but also takes in hip-hop, jazz, swing, R&B, dub, ghetto-funk and the low-end pulse of contemporary bass music. It makes for a breezy, soulful set, similar in ethos (if not style) to much of the output of Brighton's Tru Thoughts label. There are plenty of floor-filling moments to enjoy, from the hectic jazz-dance beats of "Funky Dog" and the gorgeous Latin strut of "Mi Sello", to the expansive soul of "Giro Con La Vida" and horn-heavy breaks of "Set You Off".

Review: The second EP from Spanish producer Pedro Ortuno Benito (aka Mr Gagun) features a classy set of remixes of his funky "Set You Off", as well as a new extended version featuring the sexy vocals of Alejandra Barella. Guy Gomez takes the tune out to the disco while adding some subtle electro bass and layering Barella's vocals over it all perfectly. Saul Wolf goes for a more breaks-heavy version, while Van Rubi flips it into a smooth funky house joint, relete with long, edit-style percussion breaks. Fans of nu-jazz will also flip for Nitrobass & Q-rro's sleek mix of horns and wah-wah guitar.
