Review: No prizes for guessing what's going on here, as Leeds based Bomb Strikes label round up some of the best bits from their 2023 catalogue. The Niceguys' distinctly Prince-esque opener 'Strip It' sets the tone for a collection that draws mostly on hip-hop, funk and breaks for inspiration, with the emphasis firmly on uptempo, party-hearty vibes - see the fast 'n' furious rapping on Boca 45's '45s', the fat, squelchy funk of Tom Booze's 'T-Funk' (a track that wears its influences proudly in its title), or Nat Tate's charmingy, organic take on Gala classic 'Freed From Desire'. But there's room, too, for Bazza Ranks, Turnstyle & Venessa Jackson's cheesy-but-irresistible disco-houser 'Back To You', as well as Kraak & Smaak's driving, euphoric 'Get Live, Get Down', making for a strong, varied package overall.

Review: How many styles and genres can you throw into one tune? Well LA producer Ruckus Roboticus is having fun discovering just that. With drum machines and samplers at the ready this EP has a wicked DIY quality that leans back to the days of mashing things together on outboard equipment. Across the EP, disco rings pretty loud, and the title track 'The Phantoms Theme' showcases exactly that with a hectic arrangement of fills and drops and plenty of cheer and smile raising twists that will keep a fun vibe and the floor moving. Louis Roche strips it back and goes in a bit harder for his remix that has a cooler edge, and opens up to wider range of sets. Also worth checking out is the Unix UK remix of 'The Phantom of The Disco'. Lots of fun had making this no doubt, and just as much dancing to it.. Check it out!
