Northern Beats Vol 2EXCLUSIVE
Review: Almost one year ago exactly, 'international funk barons', Beatnik City introduced us to their first selection of sensitively retouched northern souls gems on the first volume of this occasional series. Now having fully ingested all the goodness contain therein, we're ready for the next helping. There are ten new wonders to get lost in here. Highlights include hearing The Spinners' timeless melodies given a light and breezy Latin makeover on "Disco Shame", BadboE's smokin' breaks rework of a Velvelettes classic on "Breaking Down Motown" and finally Leygo's percussion-lead stomper, "Feels Good".

HometownEXCLUSIVE
Review: A nu-funk troubadour hailing from Israel, Shimi Sonic (aka Michael Emet), blazed a groovy trail for quite a few years before taking something of a sabbatical. Well now he's back and with an album in the pipeline too. Here, on the Hometown EP he's enlisted the talents of Rowetta, Kool Dee, Ella Joy Meir over four late night sizzlers - the gangsta shuffle of "So Fresh", the sing-along retro funker, " All You Funky Boyz", the up-tempo 60s soul-hop of "I Sing" and best of all, the dreamy, saucy grind of "The Way I Feel".

Remix The Version Part 2EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Clairvo (MustBeat), Badboe, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, The Funk Hunters, Funky Boogie Brothers, Relative Dimensions
Review: This is the second instalment of Riddim Fruit's new compilation series, Remix The Version, that see choice cuts from their vaults get reworked by others on their roster. First up is Shimi Sonic's "Hot Peach", which gets tackled by BadPoe resulting in some serious early '90s vibing breaky world-hop. Next up Dephicit's "No Rules" is turned into a killer digital dubby Trap/R&B hybrid.

Cloud Watching Volume 1EXCLUSIVE
Review: Home to artists such as Mr Bird, Mr 50 and Funkanomics, Devon-based beat stable Riddim Fruit have developed a peachy reputation since their inception in 2010. Here we find them curating their most laidback, soulful jams on Cloud Watching. Perfect for headphones and warm-ups alike, this inaugural collection bridges the gap between glitch, triphop, downtempo and soul with true style. Highlights include the crooning horns and soft mournful vocal cries on "Cold Blooded Murder", the lolloping laidback vibes and filtered loops of "Boy Mayers" and the confident, smokey classic hip-hop badness of "Back Packers". Watch clouds for long enough and you'll start seeing shapes. This particular shape is a massive thumbs up. Riddim Fruit have smashed it on this one.

Hot Peach EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Roast Beatz, Hong Kong Ping Pong, Zamali, Jayl Funk, Actual Sounds, Hidden Riddim, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, TURNTILL, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: Israeli funkster Shimi Sonic returns with a quad of party-minded nu-funk jams. "Hot Peach" is the slowest burning, soul-smouldering number in the pack; all strings, flutes and Shaft-style percussion. "Satellite Funk" ups the ante with a much more contemporary fusion of percussion and ragga vocals. "Boomin" takes a smoggy Led Zeppish bluesy jam session, beefs up the beats and adorns the chunky funk with a Black Rob vocal while "One Love" is all about the massive, not to mention euphoric, Hammond riffs. Peachy.

Funk Of BrasilEXCLUSIVE
Review: It's nearly been a year since Israeli producer Michael Emeth (aka Shimi Sonic) delivered his last single, the successful collaboration project True Stories. Now he's back to what he does best - reworking old tunes in a contemporary booty-shakin' style. Here he tackles two vintage Brazilian funk cuts - "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser" takes the original's sunshine vocals and marries them to a discreet, rolling groove while "Esperar Pra Ver" gets a harder retro funk workover. Classy!

True StoriesEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Funk
Review: Shimi Sonic grabs the last of this season's rays with a new end-of-Summer release on UK label Brown Sugar. Having previously reworked classics by the likes of The Doors, Shimi Sonic has now recorded a series of collaborations with various international artists; British soul singer Curtis Field takes the lead on the searing Philly soul of "In The Shadows" and Israel's own Karen Perla bellows on the assertive "Got To Move". A returning Curtis Field joins Ireland's Mr Highspeed for the ironically slow motion grooves of "Do What". Shimi Sonic himself wraps things up with a wah wah-heavy funk jam called "Brothers".
