Review: Jazz-tinged soul is the order of the day as Positive Flow makes a much-welcomed return via Tokyo Dawn. Ranging from sultry street soul to percussive deep house, Flow Lines is a rich weave of vibes that suit floors and headphones alike. Highlights abound, but if only a nincompoop wouldn't stop by and check out the swaggering Amp Fiddler-esque "Hold On" (featuring Colonel Red) or indeed the more tender-toned piano-stroker "Do What I Do" (featuring Omar). And once you've checked those two tracks, we reckon you'll be sold on the rest. Organic soul vibes don't come much richer than this.
Review: This is the latest instalment of Tokyo Dawn's acclaimed series, which compiles hot new international acts all championing vintage 80s soul and synth-funk sounds. Things kick off in impressive style with "Wow" by Coco Solid, a tune that evokes the tropical lit of Carly Simon's "Why?" Further on, Positive Flow and Heidi Vogel rock a vocal-heavy vintage soul groove on "Children Of The Sun", Teeko gets all gangsta with the slick P-meets-G-funk of "Tenshun", Rakotep does off-kilter hip-hop on "Get Up" and J-Felix and Jake Jon begin the 90s swing revival on "The Green Light". Another quality, varied collection.
