Review: The third volume in a series that sees Oli Lazarus's Papa Records taking a deep dive into their back catalogue and serving up a selection of gems built for sunshine and lazy days. Broken beat and soulful house from the mellower and jazzier side is the order of the day generally, and what's most remarkable is how fresh it all sounds given that many of these tracks are now over 20 years old. Nathan Haines' sublime and steppy 'Sound Travels' is the standout for this reviewer, but with the album packing tracks and remixes from scene stalwarts like DJ Spinna, Reel People, Domu, Modaji and Kaidi Tatham, it'll delight long-term fans of the style - and probably draw in some new ones that were still in nappies when these cuts first came out!
