Review: Jamie 3:26 may have first found fame as a DJ, re-editor and remixer, but over the last few years he's delivered some killer original productions too - often in cahoots with collaborators. Chief amongst those is fellow Rotterdam resident Danou P, who fittingly features on two of the three tracks on show here. The pair begin in deliciously deep, spacey and loved-up form on 'Love Not', where drifting chords and gentle melodies rise above a bubby bassline, simmering synth-strings and tactile arpeggio lines, before opting for a Montana Sextet-goes-deep house flex on the funky brilliance of 'Earl Montana'. To round things off, the Chicagoan joins forces with the effervescent Mr Scruff on 'Scrubb It', a properly dubbed-out, analogue-rich chunk of proto-house packed to the rafters with mad noises, Latin percussion and wayward electronics.
Review: Way back in 1997 record collector, DJ and music writer, Jasper The Vinyl Junkie, curated BBE Music's second ever release: Stop & Listen Vol. II. With BBE celebrating 25 years in the game the label goes back to its roots by inviting JJ for another West end jazz beat special. With rarities and never before heard gems now cut for digital, Vinyl Junkie Thangs calls up all-time music heroes like Fred Wesley, The Fatback Band and DTrain's Hubert Eaves alongside lesser known artists like Exile One, Ashantis and Funkshone with "Spiritual Interlude II (The Heist)" a particular highlight. Featuring curious other Jasper joints from Basement Freaks, OPOLOPO, Jkriv & Free Magic and Mr Scruff, it ain't always a vinyl thang.
Review: 2020 marks the 25th year of !K7's acclaimed DJ-Kicks series with Mr Scruff following contributions of late from Leon Vynehall, Laurel Halo, Peggy Gou and Kamaal Williams! Mr Scruff's adventures in sound brings to DJ-Kicks more than 30 tracks of wildly varying styles featuring highlighted music from Equiknoxx, Tiger, Errorsmith, Max Graef and Zongamin. Scruff brings to his edition an exclusive collaboration with CyberPunkJazz ("3001: A Space Disco Remix") and an unreleased track from Andy Ash to boot. Alexander Robotnik makes in there with the wild New York post-funk of "Love Supreme" alongside a heavy Tony Allen percussion session in "Gbedu B". DJ Nervoso for the win too!
