Boogie Angst
Various
Review: In keeping with the approach of its predecessors, the fourth annual Boogie Angst compilation brings together "cool cuts" from the past year and a smattering of exclusives and previously unreleased gems. As you'd expect from a label helmed by Kraak & Smaak, it's a genuinely joyous and celebratory affair, packed to the rafters with party-starting workouts. For proof, check the revivalist disco-boogie cheeriness of Titeknots' 'Feels Good 2 Me', the future soul shuffle of 'Treat U Good' by Moods, Noah Slee, Lyriya & Meron, the summery electrofunk sunshine that is Art of Tones' kaleidoscopic rework of LUXXURY's 'Just Like It Was Before', the Rhodes-laden warmth of Kraak & Smaak's nostalgic 'All I Need' and the spiritually-enriching Latin deep house shuffle of Osunlade's Yoruba Soul rework of his Casbah 73 collaboration, 'Let's Invade The Amazon'.

Review: Kraak & Smaak round off their 20th birthday celebrations by serving up a suitably sizeable collection of 'new and classic remixes' of cuts from their catalogue. As you'd expect given the depth and variety at the heart of their party-starting sound, the collected remixes touch on many sounds, styles and moods, from the head-nodding dancefloor soul of Moods remix of 'Squeeze Me', the revivalist P-funk-meets-neo-boogie colour of Jafunk's rub of 'UR Freak', and the horn-toting, Latin funk flex of the Allergies revision of 'Money in the Bag', to the dubby downtempo loveliness of Richard Dorfmeister's rework of 'Stumble', the woozy deep house lushness of Girls of the Internet's remix of 'Forgot About You', Psychemagik's deliciously cosmic re-wire of 'Corsica '80', and the acid house tweakery of Joe Goddard's interpretation of Romanthony hook-up 'Let's Go Back'

Review: Here we have new mixes of a track that first emerged on Kraak & Smaak's 'Plastic People' album back in 2004, courtesy of X-Press 2 legend and Ramrock Records main man Ashley Beedle. The original was a kind of funked-up deep houser but Beedle opts for a slightly smoother approach and draws out the track's inherent soulfulness, with that Cee Lo Green-like falsetto vocal firmly taking centrestage on his No West Vocal Remix. That comes accompanied quite simply by matching Dub, Instrumental and Edit versions so there's not much more to tell you, except that on older, more soulfully-inclined floors, 'Bobby & Whitney' should go down a treat.

Review: Lumberjacks In Hell founder Marcel Vogel teams up once more with fellow Amsterdam resident LYMA on a five-track EP that opens with recent single 'Free Time', a slice of leftfield electronic soul. 'Easy', appropriately enough, takes us into more laidback territory, 'Broken Wings' and 'Flame On' are a couple of fat-bottomed slabs of bruk beat, while finally 'You're A Star' is a squelchy, stuttery affair which, with its "let's get down tonight" chorus, is probably the best bet for dancefloor play. There's a distinctly Prince-y feel to these cuts so if you dug His Purple Highness's more experimental excursions, check for this.
