Review: If we're counting correctly this is album number nine from Speedometer in a recording career that stretches back 20 years. As such, if you have any interest at all in 'new old' funk and soul sounds you should know pretty much what to expect, so it's the cuts where they flip the script that are most notable. There's a distinct African slant to the cinematic 'Edge Of Fear', but it's 'Kashmir', a sitar-infused jaunt into psychedelic pastures, that's the standout. Elsewhere the UK veterans run the gamut from soulful acid jazz anthem-in-waiting 'Let's Start A Movement' to the raunchy, wigged-out Hammond jam that is 'Mo' Crunch'.

Speedometer feat James Junior
Played by: Juno Recommends Funk
Review: Freestyle mainstays Speedometer are back... And they're brandishing a brand new album. "No Turning Back" is the lead title track. Featuring velvet vocals and sharp scat spits from James Junior, it's a soft-but-stern statement of intent that drags us in gradually and refuses to let us go once we're hooked. Those hungry for Speedometer's more upbeat party feels, flip for "Orisha's Party" where the groove is so tight and fizzy you can't but think of MJ's "Wanna Be Startin' Something". For good measure, The Reflex has also joined the party with a luxurious extended house shakedown that's primed for the season and beyond.

Review: Thanks to his BBC 6Music show, self-styled "complete package" - comic, actor, radio presenter, DJ and stand-up poet - Craig Charles has become the UK's best-known funk and soul enthusiast. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that his annual Funk & Soul Club compilations are extremely popular. This third collection is every bit as potent as predecessors, featuring as it does a riotous mix of heavy funk, horn-totin' soul revivalism, dancefloor-friendly funk breaks (Skeewiff and Stephen Gray), cheeky brass band workouts (Hot 8 Brass Band's famous cover of "Sexual Healing") and a dash of smooth soul (the effortless Omar). With all bases covered and some killer material, it should be essential listening for all those of a soul and funk persuasion.

Review: This is an exciting proposition. It sees Speedometer, arguably the heaviest and tightest of the UK's funk revival bands, join forces with stone cold soul legend Sidney Barnes (Rotary Connection) for a pair of unashamedly sweet dancefloor cuts. Barnes' vocal delivery - sweet, sultry, soulful and oozing emotion - is a perfect match for Speedometer's parping, horn-and-organ-heavy grooves. "Best Thing (That Ever Happened)", with its intense organ solos and high tempo, is probably the pick for club plays, but the slower, groovier "If I Could Only Be Sure" is arguably the better track. Either way, both tracks are excellent. Recommended.

Speedometer feat Martha High
Played by: Juno Recommends Funk
Review: Of all of the revivalist modern funk bands around right now, Speedometer are without doubt one of the best. Since the early noughties they've provided soul and funk heads with a string of essential singles and long players. The two tracks showcased here are amongst their best, too. Taken from the 2010 album The Shakedown, they offer authentic dancefloor thrills from a bygone age. "The Shakedown (Say Yeah)", featuring Martha High (replacing Speedometer regular Rita Currie) is a riotous concoction that should get even the most ashen-faced cynics going wild on the 'floor. "Dragging Me Down", meanwhile, drops the tempo and adds some wild Hammond organs, but it's no less incendiary. Fire in the hole!
