Review: Veteran Manchester stable Paper Recordings bring us the in sound from way out on this hard-to-pigeonhole three-tracker from the brilliantly named Mr Tea, AKA San Francisco-based producer Michael Devin. 'Open Up' starts with ponderous timpani and plinky-plonk 80s synths before busting out a wonky, lolloping bassline and a very Grace Jones-esque vocal from featured artist Wonder. 'A Million Years Later' also nods to Italo and coldwave from the 80s, before we don shiny suits and loafers for the authentic-sounding boogie pastiche of closer 'Love Letter From Zetta'. If you like your disco a little more leftfield, you'd be well advised to check for this one!

Review: Label co-owner Flash Atkins is at the controls for this second celebration of Paper Music's first 25 years. While there's a smattering of material from the label's first 15 years, the majority of Atkins' selections come from releases put out over the last decade. Like its' predecessor, it's an action-packed affair full of high quality cuts. Standouts include the swirling nu-disco bliss of Rave-Enka's "Honningen", the hazy lounge-jazz-meets-house sleaziness of Diskobeistet's "Birklunden", the piano-powered chunkiness of Leon Sweet's "Beat Slave Auto", the analogue deep house bubbliness of Doc L Junior's "Twilight" and the early morning deep house hypnotism of Ryan Kick's remix of Space Coast's "Just Past Midnight". Best of all, though, is the TB-303-powered hypno-house insanity of Ralph Myerz and The Kosmik Diamondz 14-minute "Acid 4 Eddie".

Review: Mr Tea is Michael Devin, a veteran UK producer from Liverpool that now resides in San Francisco. Over the years, he has collaborated with legends such as Andrew Weatherall and Jagz Kooner and released on imprints such as Leftfield's Hard Hands, Engrave Ltd, Discotexas and Paper Recordings. His new full length comes courtesy of long running Offenbach based institution Connaisseur - who present Make Yourself At Home. It features nine offerings of sleek tech house grooves. From the moody bounce of dynamic opener "Schnick Schnack Schnuck", the sun-kissed melodicism of "Asking For a Friend" to the evocative/balearic-tinged ambient bliss of "Tears In The Sun", this is truly a cohesive effort.

Review: Mr Tea is the alias for Michael Devin and on Asking, which is a taster for his debut album, he demonstrates why he is such a respected new producer. The title track revolves around crisp drum beats, a loose funk bass and organ playing that bring the listener on an epic voyage. Add in just the right amount of tripped out acid and you've got a proper cosmic arrangement. By contrast, "Syncing" is more stripped back and sees him focus on a jittery electro rhythm and squelchy bass. Connaisseur has also commissioned a number of remixes of the title track. Johannes Albert's club mix is a niggling, Chicago influenced jam, his disco version is low slung and suitably cosmic, while Shayde's take works the organs over a tight house groove.

Review: In case you haven't noticed, Paper Recordings has been on fire in the 18 months that have passed since Paper Cuts volume three landed. Further proof is provided by volume four of the label's "best of" series, which adds a couple of unheard exclusives - the sparkling, ever-building nu-disco headiness of Bachgenaur's "Steady Drummer" and Vinny Villbass's Metro Area-ish instrumental re-make of Diskobeistet's "Birkelunden" - to a tight list of 2016 and 2017 highlights. These include (but aren't limited to) Chris Massey's rubbery, funk-fuelled tweak of 2 Billion Beats' "Sold My Soul", the glassy-eyed, sunset-friendly warmth of Crazy P's "Last Knockers", the organic haziness of Steve Cobby's "Boule De Suif" and the soulful house/nu-disco fusion of DJ Spinna's ace rework of Soundersons' "Can't Get Enough".
