Katakana Edits Vol 132EXCLUSIVE
Review: El Paso has become quite the Katakana regular of late, having helmed vols 115, 116, 122 and 129, and now he returns for a fifth instalment with four funk reworks in tow. 'Ms Fine Brown' revisits Syl Johnson's 'Ms Fine Brown Fame' from 1976, while James Brown's much-sampled 1973 classic 'The Payback' becomes 'Revenge'. The sources for 'Baila' and 'Tutu' - both featuring Spanish-language vocals - will sadly have to go unidentified, but the former has a Nu Yorican, boogaloo/barrio funk kinda vibe about it while the lower-tempo 'Tutu' is much more tropical and lounge-y in feel.

Katakana Edits Vol 62EXCLUSIVE
Played by: The Allergies, Craig Charles Funk And Soul, Roast Beatz, Superbreak, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Disco, Discolypso, J&M BROTHERS, D-Funk, Till Von Sein, LEGO EDIT, 80's Child, Kongisto, Paper Street Soul, Vito lalinga
Review: 62 collections deep and still blazing up any party in a 1000 mile radius; Katakana deliver yet another fun and funk-fuelled package. All laced with a heavy rhythmic theme, attention to groove detail is paid throughout as we're treated to range of classic and deeply dug edits. "Galaxy" sets the tone with a sleazy strutting war cry before we're hurled into a Latin frenzy on both the sultry "Camina" and the bull-fighting "Descarga". Elsewhere "Leroy Loves Ya" brings the soulful touch and "JB World" closes with a little psychedelic mystique.

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: Five years on from the release of their debut (and so far only) long-player 'A Cosmic Jazz Funk Adventure', Motor City trio Detroit Rising hand over four of the album's tracks to the great and the good of the broken beat, nu-jazz and deep house scenes for remixing: stand up Jimpster, Kaidi Tatham and Co-Op veteran Evm128. It's Jimpster's remix of 'Rocket Love' that takes the gold for this reviewer thanks to its very Snoop-like rap vocal, but bruk beat lovers will fiend for Tatham and Ewm128's rubs of 'Our World' and 'Gorgeous' (respectively) while Tatham's take on 'Peace & Harmony' should find favour on the jazz-dance floors.

High FiveEXCLUSIVE
Review: When Andy Bull AKA Bully Boy launched the Act of Sedition label a couple of years back his aim was to release "the finest 45 edits" on seven-inch double-packs. It's something of a surprise, then, to see the label land on digital download with a sprawling collection of previously vinyl-only reworks and bonus edits. Expect a gloriously vibrant and floor-friendly mixture of gospel-tinged psychedelic soul (Jimi Hendrix's "Freedom"), Clav-happy disco-funk squelch (Disco-Tech's "Assassination"), sweet disco sing-alongs (SanFrankDisko's "Get It Right"), sweaty punk-funk/dub disco heaviness ("Cavern Dance" by V's Edits), high octane disco-camp (Mighty Mouse's cheerfully silly "Got To Have Nothing") and much more besides.

Review: When operating under the V's Edits alias, re-edit maestro Valique can always be relied upon to bring the goods. It's little surprise, then, to find out that his latest collection of fresh cut-jobs - an epic affair featuring no less than 24 tracks - is packed to the rafters with high-grade fare. We don't have enough space to list all of the highlights, but we'd suggest checking out his rolling revision of Lee Dorsey's "Night People", the low-slung disco-funk heaviness of the Brass Construction rework ("Gotta Do It"), the intergalactic disco deepness of the Marvin Gaye revision ("Funky Space"), the lightly tooled-up, slowly unfurling take on Tom Browne's "Funkin For Jamaica" and the sweeping, string-laden disco brilliance of "Miracle (V's Edit)".

Review: Dave Lee has described this epic album, his first under the lesser-known AC Soul Symphony alias, as not only a 'labour of love', but also a tribute to the soaring string sounds and musically expansive arrangements that marked out work by original 1970s disco acts such as the Salsoul Orchestra, MFSB and Love Unlimited. Predictably, Lee has delivered and then some, serving up a string of epic disco workouts that flit between sax-laden mid-tempo beauty ('Windy City Theme'), soaring Philly Soul revivalism ('The Philly Avengers', with its jammed-out, Billy Preston style electric piano licks), seductive slow-jams ('Music For Your Pleasure'), elongated invitations to hit the dancefloors ('I Want To See You Dance'), sparkling disco-funk ('AC Express'), Salsoul-esque outings ('Seneca Village') and tributes to disco greats ('The Talented Mr Adams', which doffs a cap to the great Patrick Adams).

Review: You'd think James Brown's 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' had been sampled to death by now but here, Pecoe manages to lift a couple of lines from the middle eight and make them sound fresh on opener 'So Nice'. That sets the tone for an EP that's replete with party-starting funk breaks and familiar-sounding vocal and musical bites - 'My Business' marries 80s R&B diva snips to chunks of 'The Ultimatum' by US rappers Army Of The Pharaohs, while 'Gonna Do It Right' opens with 'Rock Creek Park'-esque guitar chops (though it's not actually a sample) and Kid N' Play make an unscheduled appearance on 'Funky Dope'.

Review: With the catalogue that the Cuttin' It Fine team have both assembled and keep adding to, it's hard to expect anything less than exceptional with every release. They deliver another set of four breakbeat belters, courtesy of both El Bomba & Roast Beatz. First up, El Bomba delivers a dancefloor-ready funk out in 'Take A Break', a lively combo of sharp drum slaps and lip-curling basslines, before Roast Beatz the energy with the groovy guitar plucks and singalong vocals of 'Party Over Here'. Back to El Bomba next as the classic sounding guitar melodies and unpredictable drum shakes of 'Bronco Funk' tone down the madness a tad, before rounding off with anthem-like arrangements of 'Get On Down' from Roast Beatz, boasting a showstopper of a bassline, draped in pleasing horn switches and tidy vocal chops for good measure.

Review: Continuing their streak of delivering musical treasures from the acclaimed "Crazy P Curates" compilation, 20/20 Vision Recordings introduces another standout piece. This time, it's the collaboration of UK DJ/producer Rose Robinson, known as Tigerbalm, reuniting with vocalist Joy Tyson. In "Cosmic Union," Tigerbalm skillfully guides us through an exploration of Afrocentric rhythms infused with the vibrant spirit of Brazilian funk and global influences. The result is a captivating journey that takes familiar elements and propels them into a fresh, exciting journey.

Review: If you've been longing for a musical escape to a tropical paradise but find yourself stuck in the concrete jungle, fear not - Sam Redmore has you covered! CNPY007, the latest gem on the Canopy label, showcases the sonic wizardry of Birmingham's very own maestro, Sam Redmore. Known for his soul-soaked magic and genre-defying prowess, Sam Redmore takes us on a wild ride through a musical rainforest with his re-imagined versions of tropical synth future-classics. Picture this: Tough afro-centric broken beats wrestling with dirty basslines under the dazzling spotlight of Chic-esque guitars and icy synths. It's a musical jungle gym where every twist and turn unveils a new sonic surprise. What sets this release apart is not just the masterful reinvention of classics but the live energy injected into the mix. Sam has summoned a talented crew of players who deliver performances so slick they'd make a tropical snake jealous. The original arrangements get a spicy makeover, turning the dancefloor into a vibrant carnival of sound and rhythm. "The Sam Redmore Reworks" is a refreshing burst of exotic brilliance. It's as if Sam threw a musical luau, and we're all invited to join in the celebration.

Review: On his second album, Colombian Party, Sunka succeeds where so many others have failed and unites electronic music with south American influences. In this process, he works seamlessly with a range of collaborators. On the bass-heavy title track, he weaves the rude vocals of Raspapulaman into the bouncy groove, while "Bajo La Luna" is more reflective as Marlen Obregon's hypnotizing tones unfold over mournful brass and tom-toms. In the main though, this is a celebratory affair, and Sunka brings a party mood to the Latino hip-hop of "Lo Que Suena" - which features Kartel Pacifico on vocals - as well as the good time, party house of "Amaneciendo".

Review: They say it's only a matter of time before America eventually closes in on Cuba and renders it Disneyfied. Well, with that eventuality in mind, it's recommended you check out this record ASAP as a great reminder of the authentic sound of old Cuba. The Bahama Soul Club were spawned from the creative team around Oliver Belz and aims to creative 'a delicious clash of Soul, Jazz and Latin with a vintage feel'. Here, on their third studio album, they've gone and done it! Highlights include the sassy "Moaners", the lean, mean "Cuervo Gold" and the quirky "Broken Piano".

Daz-I-Kue & Colonel Red - "Rokstone (Soon Come)" (Several Small Furry Bugz Co-Operating In The Attic remix) - (6:37) 126 BPM
Review: The artist formally known as Joey Negro aka Dave Lee brings together a fresh and unique compilation with partner in sound Will Fox that dives deep into the west end sound of London's broken beat, soul and two-step scene. Featuring tracks from the likes of Bugz In The Attic, Jazzanova and Atjazz to 4 Hero and Sunburst Band, we've pulled up numbers like NSM's deep, woozy and downtempo "DJ Power (Use It)" to Jazztronik's piano-laden and garaged influenced "Samurai". Sweet, warm and deeply vocal still is Afronaut & Melissa Browne's "Transcend M.E." with a stripped back, breathy and stepping number from Mark de Clive-Lowe, with Likwid Biskit's closing track "The All New Ummm" surfing into some balmy, LA beat-scene territory.

Review: Following in the footsteps of the likes of A Skillz, Beatvandals and The Allergies, Boca 45 helms the latest in Bomb Strikes' 'Funk N' Beats' compilation/mix album series, which has been running since 2013. As ever, Vol 10 features an eclectic, party-hearty mix of funk, hiphop and breaks jams, with wicky-wicky scratch sounds applied liberally. Notable inclusions this time around include two "never heard it like that before" covers of classics from the Spencer Davis Group and (sure to please footy fans) Gala, as well as Western Roots' reggae/ska-infused 'Bogus Daddy', while the bundled DJ mix version from Boca 45 showcases these sounds as they're really meant to be heard.

Review: Timewarp Music's 'Freestyle 4 Funk' series reaches its ninth installment, which (somewhat confusingly) comes in four volumes, subtitled #funk, #disco, #tropicaldub and #downtempo. This is the #tropicaldub selection, for which you can essentially read 'reggae and dub' as label regulars like Prosper & Stabfinger, DJ Laurel, Vito Lalinga, Funky Destination and of course head honcho Timewarp Inc step up to pay tribute to the sound of JA - while still allowing, as with the #funk volume, plenty of scope for fusions with other styles, be they Latin (see DJ Laurel's 'Sambafunk'), Afro (see Lalinga's 'Vrye Denke') or hip-hop and breaks (see P&S's 'Popping The Clutch'), not to mention one fine slab of straight-up funk (Zamali's 'Kings & Queens') and, in the form of 'Simoon', the obligatory weirded-out closer...

Cumbia Boogie 2EXCLUSIVE
Review: Los-Angeles boogie masher-uppers, Boogie Down Edits, are back with the second helping of their Cumbia Boogie chapter, a series reserved for Latin-influenced disco bombshells. Much like the previous outing, the second instalment of the series contains a gorgeous load of organic percussion and carnival-esque vocals; the shining moments reside in the piano-led "Espinas" and the reggaeton-leaning "It's A Pity". It's party time, people!

Review: Yoofee - Moses Yoofee Vester, if we're being formal - hails from Berlin and has racked up a string of releases over the past five years on labels including Unchained Recordings, Albion Collective, Indigo Movement and Infernal Sounds, operating mostly at the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum. But he also happens to be an accomplished jazz pianist, and it's those skills that come to the fore on this bruk beat four-tracker for Casablanca-based Moroccan label Casa Voyager. Expect intricate, stuttering beats, haunting, fragile female vox and, as befits his background in dubstep, lashings of phat, squelchy analogue bass.

Review: If it's box-fresh but still authentically vintage-sounding funk vibes you're after, you'll find them in abundance on this V/A four-tracker from UK label Cuttin' It Fine. Roast Beatz are up first with the James Brown-ish 'Jungle Steppin', before Gramophone Soul marry War/ Sly Stone-esque vocal chants with rap snips on the big beat-infused 'Day By Day'. Pecoe's 'Good To Me' then brings more phat-assed retro vibes, complete with some familiar-sounding vocal bites, before Frankee More plays us out with the rumbustious 'For The Music', which rocks another chanted funk vocal. Overall, file somewhere between big beat, funk breaks and straight-up funk.

Played by: Juno Recommends Broken Beat Nu Jazz
Review: If broken beat can be separated into two broad schools of thought, the soulful, jazzy side and the wonkier, more experimental side - which I've just decided it can - then it's safe to say we're firmly in the former camp with this three-track, six-mix EP from Irish duo Searchlight and friends. 'We Could Be More' features [KSR] and as remixed by Wipe The Needle is an R&B-ish shuffler with strong hints of early 80s electrofunk, Atjazz's rub of 'Can We Go Back' (featuring fellow Dubliner Tolu Makay on vox) is a laidback slice of late-night contemporary soul and Afroforce's mix of 'Breathe' (feat. Tolu Makay and Mark force) brings the soul-jazz vibes. All three remixes come with matching instrumentals.

Review: Rome-born, Berlin-based producer Dr Sud is undoubtedly a talent on the rise - as this expansive EP for Dutch-German imprint Q1E2 Recordings proves. He sets his stall out with 'Brina', an ultra-deep, immersive and melodious affair built around broken house beats and warming bass, before doffing a cap to jazzy deep house on 'Life Itself' and late 20th century jazz-funk on 'Evening Breath'. Elsewhere, 'Tramontana' is a bouncy, sub-heavy meander through leftfield deep house territory, '3/4 am' is a spaced-out downtempo shuffler, and 'Mondgesicht' sounds like a percussion-rich, 21st century take on St Germain's early work.

Here though he only manages to provide two jams, but it's quality, not quantity, right? First up we get "Night Strangers" which takes loops from Candi Staton's Bee Gees cover (Nights On Broadway) and adds an accelerated disco house tempo and subtle but funky embellishments. On the digital flip is "On Fire", a clever rework of Peggy Lee's indestructible classic, Fever. Hot stuff!
