Review: If your leisure time activities tend towards herbal remedies and Rizla origami, then you're gonna love this new EP from Underground Canopy, a self-described "hip-hop-fed, groove-infused jazz band" from Paris who serve up a track that's tailor-made for late night, sofa-based chillin' and that comes in three equally headnodding mixes. The original's a midtempo, meandering affair with occasional bursts of frantic percussion that also sports some seriously wibbly analogue synths, the Ceylan Cut smoothes things out a little while the Barion Cut brings D&B flourishes, but you should probably just play all three back-to-back - 'Pearl Express' really is that good.

Review: Barcelona-based Arnau Obiols has chalked up releases on such respected labels as Local Talk, Ibadan and Compost, and now returns to the latter in the company of Zurich's KAYYAK. Together they serve up two tracks that draw heavily on 70s Afro-funk for inspiration, with 'Faith' coming with a slightly mellower remix courtesy of Medlar & Dele Sosimi while 'San Diago' gets two rerubs, with Rahaan giving the track a slightly jazzier, more leftfield makeover while Prins Thomas's Diskomix transforms it into a slab of percussive, slo-mo disco. Any/all should go down well on floors where Afro-oriented beats are in demand.
