Review: Second time round for James Curd and Osunlade's surprise 2023 collaboration, 'Chocolate Puddin', which here returns in remixed form. First to tackle the pair's gospel-tinged, spiritually enriching Afro-house gem is Kai Alce, who delivers superb vocal and instrumental takes built around crispy, bouncy, Afro-deep drums, smooth bass, echoing organ stabs and the most warming and toasty of electric piano chords. Just as potent is Osunlade's own Yoruba Soul mix, a heavily electronic, tech-tinged deep house excursion rich in righteous keyboard stabs, bubbly TB-303 motifs and eyes-closed vocal snippets. The pair's joyous, uplifting and undeniably hypnotic instrumental mix completes a fine package.

Review: There are peaktime-orientated tracks that get all up in your face, grab you by the unmentionables and shout "listen to me!" - and then there are the kind of tracks that are carefully crafted to be set-builders, that won't scream for attention on the radio but will sound just perfect when served to a 4am floor that's already deep in the zone. This team-up between scene stalwarts Osunlade and James 'Greenskeepers' Curd is firmly in the latter camp, a dense, shuffling affair with a bubbling, burbling backdrop topped with a blues-y female vocal that comes with an even more eyes-down refix from FNX Omar.

Richard Earnshaw / Various
Review: Second time around for the ninth volume in Papa Records' reliable Messages compilation strand, which first hit stores back in 2014. This edition has been expanded via the inclusion of two fresh exclusives from compiler Richard Earnshaw: his picturesque, sun-splashed, life-affirming 2022 revision of Jon Cutler's 'I'll Take You' and a pleasingly rich, soulful and piano-powered revision of he and Sebb Junior's 'Got Yo Lovin'. The rest of the collection remains as essential as it was eight years ago, with highlights of the deep and soulful house treats on offer including the chunky late-night wooziness of Earnshaw's hook-up with Eli Escobar, 'Sunday Morning', the jazzy and spiritual flex of Jimpster and Rich Medina's 'This Thing' and the low-slung, early morning bounce of 'Nina' by Eric Erickson.

Review: Originally released in 2006 as a Radiohead tribute album - Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads returns to its original home at BBE Music. Highlighted artists across this compilation to cover Thom Yorke songs include Mark Ronson, Pete Kuzma, Alex Greenwald (of Phantom Planet) to Sia, Matthew Herbert and Sa-Ra - not to forget The Cinematic Orchestra, Osunlade and RJD2! And not to overlook curios from before, check out the cosmic fusion of The Randy Watson Experience's take of "Morning Bell", Shawn Lee's beaty remake of "No Surprises" to Wajeed's broken beat rendition of "Knives Out". Classic covers.

Benji B / Various
Review: 14 years have passed since Benji B and Judah established their monthly Deviation parties in London. This fine compilation celebrates the club's legacy and sound, which famously touched on all manner of soul-fired musical styles whilst keeping one eye (and both feet) on the dancefloor, with Benj B selecting cuts that never failed to rock the party. Expect a mixture of skewed, bass-heavy beats (Dorian Concept, James Blake, 00Genesis), heady instrumental hip-hop (Waajeed, Damn Funk remixing Baron Zen), Afro-funk (K Fimpong), peak-time UK bass mutations (Pearson Sound, Martyn, Mala), high-grade deep house (Gilb'r remixing Rick Wilhite, Theo Parrish) and a smattering of genuine scene anthems (Detroit Experiment, Maurice Fulton's remix of Alice Smith, DJ SPen presents DJ Technic).

Review: Deepest soul, spiritual house and new age music coming at you again from the genre's very own shaman, Osunlade. Released on Yoruba Soul once more, the label Osunlade established in '99, it presents a second album in 2020 already for the artist following Basic Sketches For Beginners earlier this year. Very much a folk and spiritual affair, strings, voice and percussion come together in acoustic glory on Iamone, with deeper piano and guitar fusions to be found in "Ruda", to the trippy gypsy and reverse piano effects in "Spanish Lake". With slight touches of ambient pop, Kompakt-style, to be heard in "Geometric Shapes", there's also touches of the '90s and Enya to be found in "Underneath The Willow" amid earthly percussion and harpsichords. A new commune for all.

Review: Although famed for making spiritual, soulful, musically rich deep house rich in African style polyrhythms, Osunlade has always been capable of making similarly minded music that cares not one jot for the demands of the dancefloor. It's this side of his output that comes to the fore on "The Quieter You Become, The More You Hear", the U.S producer's first full-length in four years. While there are one or two more up-tempo, floor-friendly moments - not least the jaunty, life-affirming bounce of Flamenco guitar-laden workout "Syrundipetty" - the vast majority of the LP operates at a more sedate pace, with Osunlade successfully turning his hand to sweet modern soul, dusty downtempo grooves, sticky tropical soundscapes and sumptuous, World Music-inspired jazz-funk.

Review: It seems as if 15 years have just flown by since Berlin institution Watergate first opened their doors at the base of the famous Oberbaumbrucke, overlooking the River Spree and where long queues run down the street every weekend to get into one of the best clubs in the world. To celebrate their journey over the last decade and a half, they have put together a special anniversary release of 25 new, exclusive and formerly unreleased tracks. Residents of the superclub all appear, such as Hamburg native Matthias Meyer who teams up with Ryan Davis on the evocative "Hope", famed local duo Tiefschwarz deliver the slow burning and moody tech house of "Control", Sweden's La Fleur (of Power Plant fame) delivers the acidic bump and shuffle of "Femton" and former Stattbad resident and Beste Modus boss Cinthie gets deep on the classic house sound of "Hatschi Hatschi" which has a whole heap of swing to it!

Deetron / Various
Played by: DJ Mau Mau
Review: Over the course of the last decade, Swiss stalwart Deetron has been responsible for a string of impressive remixes. Happily, these - and many others you may have missed - have now been collected together on the decidedly epic Re-Creation: Remixes Compiled. As you'd expect, the 25-track set flits between full-throttle, peak-time friendly techno futurism, bustling deep house goodness and more downbeat explorations that defy his reputation as a maker of killer club cuts. Highlights include the loved-up synth breakdowns and jacking, Chicago-style groove of his Juan MacLean remix, a wonderfully retro-futurist take on George Fitzgerald's "Every Inch", a thrusting, stab-happy revision of Quarion and a lusciously jazzy take on Todd Terje's "Alfonso Muskedender". That said, on another day we could have listed another five or six highlights: it really is that good.
