Review: America's Rocksteady Disco label returns for its second round up of delectable remixes and VIPs, with a continent clashing fusion of pan African vitality and cool house saunter across all four offerings. Ontario-based Igor B leads the release with a drum and sub bass heavy dancefloor reimagining of Moonlighter's iconic "Give Us Rain (Ah Mila)" before Blair French reworks Sol Power All-Stars' 'Every Time You Move', making the most of electric bass from Jazzanova's Paul Randolph, guitar by Frank Martin (Elcados, Shina Peters) and DC-based Besufekad Tadesse's baritone sax solo via the mixing desk controls. Then goes even deeper, with Tokyo-based Dazzle Drums giving Eddie Logix's 'Sunday Palaver' the hi-fi Afro Tech treatment, perfect for those dingy after hours parties, before Logix's Balearic-esque reinterpretation of Nois Land's cult classic 'Big Kahuna' brings proceedings to a glorious close.
Review: The Sol Power All-Stars are back once more on the Rocksteady Disco label with some superb covers of much-loved British funk band Cymande's 'Genevieve'. Those two versions offer shuffling rhythms and big horn stabs and stomping, ass-wiggling Afro-jazz.

Review: Washington, DC-based Sol Power Records specialise in "deep sounds inspired by Planet Earth", or to put it another way, deep house that draws extensively on Latin and African music for inspiration. And here, the Sol Power All-Stars bring us three tracks in a total of five different mixes that exemplify the label's ethos perfectly, replete as they are with complex hand percussion, chanted tribal vox, stuttering Latin rhythms and all the other elements you'd expect. If you're NOT a huge Latin/Afro fan, though, then Jaco Matthew's more overtly house-ified remix of 'VA Se Da' may still be of interest.

Review: When it comes to floor-focused club cuts inspired by African and South American music, it's hard to beat the output of the Sol Power Allstars. Their latest EP, "Special Features", is particularly potent. It boasts two fresh tracks - the percussive but deep Afro-house bounce of "Don't Let Go", featuring some sublime soulful vocals by Kenny Westley and a more bass-heavy chunk of Afro-Tropical house rich in organ solos called "Number One Station" - plus a swathe of remixes of the former cut. Of these, the headline grabbing ones come from DJ Spinna, whose "Galactic Soul" takes are as deep, spacey and soulful as you'd expect. Other treats include a brilliant '90s garage "Back 2 Luv" dub by Caserta and a stripped-back, drum heavy "Almostrumentral" revision by the Sol Power crew.
