Review: If you thought the first 'Crazy P Curates' compilations was a wild ride, hold on tight because this one is a rollercoaster through the sonic cosmos. 20/20 Vision Recordings continues to deliver musical treasures, and this fourth volume is a testament to the Notts scene stalwarts' commitment to championing tunes that make you move and groove. Kicking off this sonic escapade is the Scandi-disco maestro Ray Mang, weaving his magic with lush cosmic melodies and nu-disco beats that are so loose-limbed, they could moonwalk on their own. Funk alert: this is not your average trip through the cosmos; it's a funkadelic joyride through the galaxy. Next up, Tigerbalm takes us on a detour to a tropical oasis with "Cosmic Union" featuring the enchanting vocals of Joy Tyson. Afro rhythms and steamy vocals bring the heat. Ruf Dug joins the sonic expedition with "Vape Quarter Rhythm," a mind-bending blend of proto-house and dreamy Italo bliss-out. Closing out this auditory voyage is Ibiza's Tuccillo with "Siroco," a signature Balearic gem that's as carefree as cocktails by the sea at sundown. It's the kind of track that makes you want to kick off your shoes, feel the sand between your toes, and let the music carry you away on a sea breeze. The love affair between 20/20 Vision and Crazy P is like a cosmic dance, and this fourth installment is a testament to their enduring relationship.

Review: Buoyed by the success of the Dimitri From Paris remixes of 'Space Talk', Naya Beat has decided to offer up more new reworks of classic cuts from the disco-era catalogue of Indian singer and actress Asha Puthli. Naturally Space Talk gets another tweak - Maurice Fulton delivers a sparse, percussive, dubbed-out take in his inimitable style -but there are plenty of revisions of lesser-celebrated cuts to enjoy. Yuksek turns 'I Am Song (Sing Me)' into a hybrid storming soul/surging Moroder-disco workout; Kraak & Smaak go all deep disco on the dreamy 'Lies'; Turbitto & Ragz add a touch of delay to the Indian disco-goes-Salsoul flex of 'One Night Affair'; 'Right Down Here' is turned into a spaced-out cosmic disco number by Psychemagik; and Jitwam adds a touch of 21st century weight to suspenseful disco gem 'I'm Gonna Dance'.

Review: Two years on from the release of his popular debut album, Roots, Dennis Cruz returns to Crosstown Rebels with an EP that mixes top-notch solo tracks with a couple of eye-catching collaborations. In the former category you'll find fine title track 'Snake Charmer', an exotic, intoxicating and tribal-tinged chunk of early morning 'ethno-house' that subtly builds in intensity throughout, and the dark, hushed and hypnotic tech-house of 'Time Out'. Elsewhere, Cruz first joins forces with label boss Damian Lazarus and guest DJ Holographic on 'Revolution', a kind of 21st century tech-house update of the Dance Mania ghetto-house sound, before collaborating with Ian Ludvig on the wonky, mind altering and darkened pulse of 'Pain Away'.

Review: Scruscru's Scruniversal take a left turn into jazzier pastures than normal with this four-track EP from I Gemin, AKA Russian producer Mike Popov. The EP opens with the languid, cinematic instrumental 'Introfall (Autumn)', before moving into out-and-out jazz territory with the flute-laden 'Ninjazz Bit'. Funk and soul flavas then inform 'Dry My Tears' with its wukka-wukking geetars and (presumably sampled) gospel-like vocal, before '2Gether We Funk' plays us out in more "traditional" funk mode, with brass fanfares galore and a distinct car chase feel. Musically speaking 'Ninjazz Bit' is arguably the most impressive, polished piece here but it's '2Gether We Funk' that'll get those booties shakin'!

Review: A decade on from the release of 'Blackbird', the third studio album by beloved New Zealand combo Fat Freddy's Drop, the album returns in freshly remixed form. It's a naturally celebratory affair that touches on most of their stylistic influences and more, from reggae/soul/hip-hop fusion (the fine Kings rub of 'Blackbird', Christophe El Torento and Lucky Lance reworking 'Clean The House'), sub-heavy house warmth (Nightmares on Wax's club-ready take on 'Russia'), dub disco (Kiwi deep house star Philippa tweaking 'Bones'), soaring house-not-house (Jazzanova's emotion-rich interpretation of 'Soldier'), digi-dub (Marcus Worgull's version of 'Blackbird'), wobbly jump-up D&B (Freestykes and Dub Pistols re-imagining 'Bones') and bowel-bothering bass music (Syrup D's fantastic mix of 'Silver & Gold').

Review: Some brilliant business for self-styled "Balearic silverbacks" here, as producer Jesse Fahnestock joins forces with singer-songwriter Emilia Harmony as Electric Blue Vision. Drifting along at a head-nodding 92BPM, 'Other Skies' is an immersive and dreamy slab of sunrise pop rin in effects-laden vocals, glistening guitars, hazy chords and warming bass. It comes with a trio of terrific remixes: a properly dubby and effects-heavy Hardway Brothers take that recalls the work of Andrew Weatherall circa 1990, a gently throbbing, mind-mangling take courtesy of NuNorthern Soul sorts Tambores En Benirras, and a Balearic Ultras revision that re-imagines the track as a nine-minute chunk of slow-motion dub house haziness.

Review: For their fifth full-length excursion, Session Victim have largely sidestepped the dancefloor, instead serving up a headphones-friendly set rooted in their love of downtempo and Balearic sounds. Of course, there are some tracks that you could dance to - most notably the darkened, jazz-flecked, library music-goes-to-the-disco shuffle of 'Dweller' - but for the most part the pair effortlessly sashay between blunted hip-hop beats and moody trip-hop ('Mycelium Dub', 'Porchless', the twinkling 'Soft Landing'), pastoral-sounding folktronica ('The gorgeous, life-affirming 'The Hidden Trail' and 'One Trick Ponies', which sounds like a 21st century update of Bert Jansch's 'Avocet' album), nu-jazz ('Jazzbeat08') and library music-inspired immersive soundscapes ('Enlightenment').

Review: Sebra Cruz unleashes his debut album 'Don't Worry Psy Happy' on DJ Tennis' revered Life & Death imprint. The genre-defying LP encapsulates the Italian spirit in perfect style and comprises eleven daring tracks that experiment with various sounds including cinematic and ambient leaning sonics such as 'Optimist' and 'Poliziesco', the latter of which includes Gabriele Fabbri's atmospheric guitar riff throughout. 'The Siebel Road To Mars' is a powerful yet emotive record that samples current Italian President Sergio Mattarella between the piano and the extraterrestrial sound palette. 'Flying Junior', named after Cruz's own sailboat, emulates the peacefulness and tranquillity of the sea. Meanwhile, 'AltreCose', inspired by the energy of the Neapolitan people during Sebra's DJing residency in the 90s, is a high-energy disco-infused record. The album is a testament to the long-lasting and trusting collaborative relationship between Sebra Cruz and DJ Tennis.

Review: What we have here is the first-ever release from Lovetempo, a new solo project from Mattie Safer, who's best known as the bassist for NYC punk-funk outfit The Rapture, as well as his slo-mo stylings under the Poolside moniker. On this evidence, Lovetempo will slot in neatly between the two: less strident and attitude-y than the former but more dancefloor-oriented than the latter. Most of the EP's five original cuts sit somewhere between Balearica, indie soul and melancholy electronic pop, but it's Nick Catchdubs' stripped n' strutty, 80s-flavoured remix of 'Turnaround' that stands out to these ears.

Review: James Alexander Bright you may know for his leftfield output on !K7, Tom Findlay you almost certainly know as one-half of Groove Armada, and now Athens Of The North bring us the deadly duo's first collaborative full-length. Laidback, shimmering electronic pop is the order of the day, with fragile, wistful male vocals much in evidence and the tempo - as the title makes clear - never getting much above walking pace. In terms of dancefloor action there's really only the slightly beefier 'NY Disco (Smile)' to talk about: this is an album made for late-night home listening, or for lazing by the pool, mojito in hand. But in such circumstances it'll go down most pleasingly.

Review: With a rich musical journey that spans from early electronic experiments with tape decks to their distinctive dub compositions, Tosca's recent album Osam gets re-rubbed & re-dubbed. Enter Mirage the OSAM remixes - named after a quaint café in Vienna that holds a special place in the creative processes of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber (aka Tosca). Collaborating with familiar remix partners like Brendon Moeller who sends in three distinct versions - next to an Ambient Diary mix by Cay Taylan - a bevy of other remixes take in the reflective sounds of piano crescendos, dubbed-out interludes and ambient explorations. Tosca, too, contribute their own reinterpretation by giving "Shout Sister" its own ambient remake.

Review: Italian legend Quiroga, also known as Walter Del Vecchio, takes us on a riveting journey through the acid house era with his latest offering on Hell Yeah Recordings. This intriguing package includes two original tracks, an ambient mix, and a remix by the revered DMX Krew. In "Once Again," Quiroga delivers a punchy and robust house groove that's laced with a touch of eccentricity. The "Ambient Version" of "Once Again" takes a detour into the downtempo realm. It retains the wild acid lines but introduces ethereal effects, old-school piano chords, and a soulful female vocal that dances alongside a blissful breakdown. DMX Krew steps in to offer his take on "Once Again" with a remix that transforms the track into a bumping acid-electro monster. This remix exemplifies the art of sonic manipulation, making the original composition entirely new and exhilarating. "Freak The Funk" serves as the second original cut on this release. It rides on crisp snares and snapping drum breaks, complemented by a warm bassline and smeared cosmic chords that grace the top. It's a classy peak-time house production with magical pixelated synth melodies, showcasing Quiroga's innate ability to craft music that's simultaneously stylish and dynamic.

Review: James Bright's career in production began in 1999 when he was introduced to legendary producer Steve Miller (Afterlife). The duo went on to form the successful downbeat act Lux and their debut production "Northern Lights" was chosen as the opening track for Caf? Del Mar's Volume 7. As a solo artist James Bright's productions have featured on the world-famous Cafe Del Mar series at length, and now for Life On Earth Recordings Bright delivers five chilled yet vibrant, eclectic and Balearic inspired numbers. Half ambient and and half broken beat, there's some funk to be found in numbers like "Vidorra" or the spacious electro of "Kush". Beautiful, warming and chilled - enjoy the the progressive elevations of the the title track next to the percussion and basslines of "Mosaic", and the house and acid vibes of "Sixfold". Music from a golden age.

Review: Amazingly, it's 25 years since George 'E.A.S.E' Evelyn and then production partner Kevin 'Boy Wonder' Harper sat down and recorded "Dextrous", their monstrous, bleep-era classic on Warp. A quarter of a century later, Evelyn is still going strong, though the grooves have mellowed a lot in that time. Here, Warp celebrate the producer's epic career with a much-deserved retrospective. All the familiar favourites are present, from the rush-inducing thrill of early dancefloor smashers "I'm For Real" and "Aftermath", to the sinewy downtempo goodness of the decidedly Balearic "Les Nuits", the blazed hip-hop dub of "195 Llbs" and stoner soul of "70s 80s". This version also includes a number of exclusive remixes, with names like JD Twitch, Special Request, LFO, Morgan Geist and Loco Dice putting their own spin on this classic material.

Review: As previously mentioned on these pages, Timewarp Music's latest compilation comes in four volumes. This week, following #funk, #disco and #tropicaldub installments, we're in a #downtempo mood as label boss Timewarp Inc gathers together 16 very fine jams from the lower-paced side of the street. Highlights for yours truly include the hazy, driftaway neo-psych of Niles Philips' 'Hidden In A Starfield', the simple reggae groove of Groove Monkz's 'Promised Land' and Zamali's Massive Attack-like 'Zamali' but with influences spanning Balearica, trip-hop, jazz fusion and more, there's plenty to enjoy here for those that are watching their BPMs...

This debut release on Leng Records combines retro vibes with a futuristic twist, resulting in a catchy, sun-soaked anthem. Kate's vocals are the heart of this track, riding a shuffling beat and bubbly bassline that makes you want to dance on the beach. The remixes by 40 Thieves and Mind Fair add extra layers of magic, making "Billion Days" an essential addition to your summer playlist. It's Balearic bliss that'll have you daydreaming of sunny days and endless horizons

Review: With a title like 'In The Garden Of Mindfulness' this was never going to be a peaktime floor-burner, was it? And indeed, disco veteran Mudd's latest offering for Claremont 56 finds him in a downtempo, introspective frame of mind - stylistically, its closest relatives can perhaps be found in the jazz-fusion and 'quiet storm' soul of the late 70s and early 80s, with a ponderous backbeat and slo-mo b-line topped with meandering jazz-funk guitars, some nice squelchy Moog action and soaring synth-strings. Definitely one for poolside lounging or for melting into the sofa, while the accompanying 'Katanaboy', being a tad more uptempo, is more likely to see those hips starting to shake.

Review: Canadian siblings and dub aficionados, Matt and Mark Thibideau, make their debut EP appearance on the renowned Berg Audio label. The Thibideau brothers have long been crafting sumptuous, melodious soundscapes within the realms of minimal house and techno, quietly amassing a dedicated following. Within this latest offering from Berg Audio, the EP commences with the hypnotic allure of "5 Stage Development." The track masterfully blends dubby techno elements, enthralling the listener with its swirling synthesis. The Thibideau brothers venture deeper into the world of dubbed-out 4/4 perfection with the mesmerizing "Serge 5.0 (rework)," leading listeners on an immersive sonic expedition. As the journey unfolds, "Slate Range" takes the art of delay to even greater heights, maintaining an entrancing balance between meditative synth pulses and impeccably programmed drum sequences. Finally, the EP concludes with the enchanting "Monumental Change," a testament to their ability to infuse blissful vibes with artistic finesse.

Review: A posthumous release here from Woodleigh Research Facility, a project that saw the late, great Andrew Weatherall teaming up with Nina Walsh to create an arsenal of un-Shazamable material for his sets at Brixton nightclub Phonox. Now nine of those tracks get bundled together in the form of a long-player that will surely delight Weatherall lovers, ranging as it does from headnodding, Sabres Of Paradise-like bass excursions (see 'Bone Pointer') to sparkly, A Love From Outer Space-style Balearic disco (see 'One Part Disco'). Along the way you'll find hints, too, of classic acid house and beats-y leftfield electronica, all of which adds up to a very enjoyable 63 minutes of the thinking (wo)man's electronic music indeed.

Review: In typical Music From Memory fashion, their latest archival release shines a light on one of the UK's lesser-known bands of the early 1980s. The System released a lone single in 1981, followed by a now incredibly rare debut album, Logic, in 1983. Three of the cuts here are taken from that set, including the dreamy, downbeat Balearic-pop opener "Almost Grown" - a wonderfully evocative six minutes, all told - and the far-sighted, spacey, proto-techno shuffler "Vampirella". This single also includes one previously unreleased track, "Find It In Your Eyes", which was rescued from long-forgotten master tapes during the licensing process.
