Review: Here's another must-check missive of lesser-known and hard-to-find material from DJ Kaos's Jolly Jams label, curated with love by the man himself. Over the course of 12 tidy tracks, we're treated to ambient lusciousness (Superpitcher remixing Kaos's own 'World Turning'), deliciously dubbed-out proto-house (the 'Warehousin' Mix' of Split Secs' 'I'm Not Losing'), mind-mangling psychedelic electronic disco-meets-acid house (Red Axes' 'Promo Only'), dub disco (Slaves of Love and Tavish, whose 'Raw Seduction' is genuinely superb), soaring disco edit action (Spring Break Edit), Sylvester pitched-down and blissed out (Balearic Skip), Kenny Hawkes-ish disco-not-disco eccentricity (Luke Solomon remixing Richard From Milwaukee) and ragging acid tracks (Danny Russell & Timothy Alexander).

Review: DJ Kaos's latest offering combines reworks (many previously unheard) of tracks from his catalogue, with a variety of reworks and original productions from many of his buddies in the scene. It's an eclectic and wide-ranging selection, with highlights coming thick and fast throughout. The set begins with the chunky cosmic house throb of Softwar's 'Afterhours' and ends with a wonky, stripped-back, after-party friendly Solomun rework of Kaos's 'I Want To Be There'. Sandwiched in between you'll find such must-check gems as Luke Solomon's nine-minute 'raw mix' of Richard From Milwaukee's glassy-eyed turn-of-the-90s breakbeat house gem 'Clear Water', the Italo-goes-proto-house throb of Red Axes' 'Promo Only', and the heavily dubbed-out, effects-laden disco headiness of Napoleon's 'Love Spell'.

Review: Germany's Dennis Kaun AKA DJ Kaos brings us a 12-track best-of compilation from his own Jolly Jams label (est 2010) and - perhaps partly reflecting the fact that some of these tracks were made 10 years apart - there's a wide array of sounds and styles to choose from, ranging from the lively piano house of opener 'Breakthrough' to the 303 squelch of 'Acid Milk', and from the new wave-tinged Italo strut of 'The Horse Running' to the dreamy Balearicisms of 'Swoop', the warm, dubby house of 'Promo Only 1', the 80s Euro vibes of 'Natural Flavor' and beyond...

Review: Having made his debut for the label way back in 2012, Milwaukee-based DJ/producer Richard Galling is one of Jolly Jams' longest serving artists. His sixth EP for DJ Kaos's imprint is a powerful affair, with Galling offering up a trio of sleazy late night machine jams that sit somewhere between early '80s proto-techno, muscular EBM and jackin' Chicago house. Our pick of the bunch is opener "High Life", a throbbing workout whose peak-time power is the result of a mix of thrusting synth-bass, restless drum machine cowbells and a heavy low-register acid line. The similarly inclined "Night Shift" is, if anything, even heavier and more powerful, while "Mercy" sees Galling wrap mangled TB-303 lines around a suitably weighty beat.
