Review: Steeped in mystery, the latest release from Fokuz should soon have tongues wagging as to who the mystery man or woman behind the moniker is. It builds from a sparse, stripped back intro of ticking beats, eerily placed so as to make it feel like you're intruding on something. Slowly it builds out from this with firm, terse drumbeats and a murmuring melody and silky smooth vocal. The jazz and soul influences come in thick and fast, with a sultry trumpet tone and strumming guitar reminiscent of the sounds of Bonobo and Andreya Triana. Intriguing from the off, this is well worth checking out.

Review: Madcap is back, back again and he's landing on Fokuz for a fearsome, junglist EP that smacks of the old school but appeals to the new. We especially like the sense of cleanness in the arrangement, all the elements are disparate but synergistic and there's a real feel of raw vibrancy combined with modernist programming and spot-on syncopation. 'Pressure' is our favourite, with an almost hypnotic vocal sample that pulsates, ebbs and flows throughout the tune with wicked effect. The drums are in point, the basses equally so. Wicked stuff from the Fokuz crew.

Review: Deep house out of the top drawer is the order of the day on this reissued four-tracker from Vibes Ltd, which first came out back in 2012. 'Black Patina' is a pad-y, late-night jam with a (non-Peech Boys) "don't make me wait" vocal sample, 'If My Love' is a more downtempo cut bordering on leftfield/slo-mo territory, 'Blue Velvet' marries heavy, thudding drums to the kind of deep, dreamy vibes Italian labels Irma and Antima used to specialise in back in the early 90s, and finally 'Higher Ground' is another one for those post-club, melting-into-the-sofa moments. And if you dig this, there are another nine EPs in the series to collect!

Review: Any ideas as to who this mystery artist might be? Snapped up by Fokuz to continue their unstoppable roster of impressive new and upcoming artists, both tracks on this enigmatic release hold true to their ethos of lush, liquid rhythms and classic D&B sounds. The first untitled track is heavily influenced by old school jungle, but comes at it from a far more laid back approach. Sweeping strings round off the edges and uniquely husky vocals sweeten the deal. "Liquid Love" is an all out summer roller, building that big, warm, bouncy vibe alongside soulful sampling and earworm-inducing vocals. Impressive stuff - now we just need to find out who they are.

Review: The mysterious Unknown Artist returns to Fokuz with another fat round-up of re-rubs and big sample-slapping D&B. Good time D&B for party heads, and sculpted well enough for the heads to stroke their beards or give a wry grin, once again we're treated to a whole load of familiar vocals and hooks laced carefully in, around and over the breaks. Highlights include the Darondo flexing 'Didn't I' (which some may remember from Breaking Bad), the seminal rave classic 'Need Your Loving' and the Badu to the bone 'On & On' but each cut is guarantee to get the butts wriggling.
