Review: German collective Jojo Effect began life in the mid-00s as an electro-swing project, and since then have explored a range of styles from nu-jazz to bossa nova. This, their sixth album, is similarly eclectic in its approach, packing tunes that range from straight-up jazz/jazz-fusion cuts like 'Dizzy's Bob' and 'Tiny Stories', to mellower, loungier numbers like 'Higher (Smooth Return)', 'Manana' and 'Romantic Kiss', while 'Echo Valley', with its housier rhythm and sampled vox, is probably the best bet for the less specialist floors. It all makes for a varied and pleasant listen, even if there's no one stone cold killer.

Review: Long-player #7 here from Dutch duo Adani & Wolf, AKA Roberto Gaasterland and Daniel Testas - two self-styled "groove musketeers" who've been "supplying the globe's most luxurious places with the better dance, lounge and exotica music for many years". Fans will know what to expect already, then, but for the uninitiated: think the full-band funk and soul of, say, Fat Freddy's Drop, Kraak & Smaak or Smoove & Turrell, cross it with hints (in places) of deep, soulful and progressive/melodic house, and you've got the general idea. It's all a bit polite for club play, but it makes for 49 minutes of pleasant listening all the same.

Review: Nelly Simon and ChinChin cofounder Juergen Kausemann's ZoulZoulectric let rip with their second long player and once again it's a vibrant, far reaching affair that digs deep into the timeless musical melting pot to create a powerful alluring fusion of funk, jazz, swing and all things in between. A party from start to finish, highlights include the smoky dulcets and late night upbeat momentum of "He Killed Capoty", the ballroom swoons and toe to toe duet of "Too Late To Tango", the delicate introspection and gentle jacks of "Bad Days", a brand new sleazy funk take on their awesome Nancy Sinatra cover "These Boots Were Made For Walking" and the loose limbed feels and woozy horns of "Black African Jack". Complete with a range of remixes, too, this is an exceptional sophomore that adds to their already strong funk cannon.

Review: Originally a DnB act in the 90s, the duo of Roberto Adani & Daniel Wolf have progressed into a much more interesting musical beast in the decades since. If you've felt it a bit quiet from their end recently though, that's because they've signed a big juicy deal with ChinChin Records and have had their heads down in the studio conjuring up this, their much toiled-over new LP, The Irresistible Dust On The Floor. Featured are ten future-vintage sounding tracks that aim to provide 'a musical statement of understanding, respect and patience' in dark times. Dance away the blues!

Review: Germany's kings of the compilation, ChinChin, recently dropped ChinChin Present 2015, a widescreen view of their current roster highlights. Now they've followed it up with a more specific collection, The Art Of Electro Swing Volume 4. It shares some tracks with the former but still forms its own cohesive shape with 17 delicious variants this iconic sound. Highlights include Pep's Show Boys thumping electro-swing rework of Louis Armstrong's "Cuban Pete", the spooky electro-pop refrains of "Alibi Afternoon" and Sound Nomaden's epically catchy housed-up rejig of "Goin' Wild".

Review: Leading German Jazz and Electro Swing label ChinChin always promise 'so much more' and this attitude has seen their artists' sounds spread across the world via nearly 3000 different compilations and almost endless commercial and cinematic syncs. Here they're celebrating fresh new selections for the year ahead, 20 of them in fact. Highlights include the Pep's Show Boys thumping electro-swing rework of Louis Armstrong's "Cuban Pete", the Italo-swing quirkiness of Bomba Titinka's "Grammofono" and the sandy Latin lounger "Let Your Voice Be Free".

Review: Sweenq is a pan-Teutonic electro-swing act comprising Cologne-based producer Alex Klein and Frankfurt guitarist Max Rotshild. Intent on 'rockin' the dancefloor' at all costs, their sound incorporates elements of electro-swing, country-tech, bluestep(!) and electro-jazz. However, the common denominator here is a combination of vivid, yet organic, sounding swing beats supporting the enchanting fretwork of Rotshild, captured none better than on the title track itself.

Review: You could be forgiven for feeling that electro-swing may have lost its 'schwing', but in fact it's been given a whole new lease of life by Italian band Bomba Titinka. That's certainly how Chinchin see it, proudly presenting their debut release, Bicycle. There are five originals here, all of which display a classy sheen with a fuss-free organic feel due to the lack of brash samples and thumping kicks found on most tunes in this genre now. Molto bravo!

Review: With a title that sounds like a long lost Prince B-side, "69 Times & Then One More" is, in fact, a party tune that looks much further back in time for inspiration, chiefly the big bands of the '30s and '40s. The lead track is basically electro-swing without the electro, replaced instead by a stormin' Latin-fuelled live band. Mondo Cane brings back some of the clubby beats, fusing them with sassy vintage brassy for his remix, whilst Funkanomics delivers an eccentric slap bass-led jam and Dutty takes things into a jazzy late '80s hip-house zone. "Swingy Mamma" is more your up straight swing crowd-pleaser, given a beats boost by Acido Domingo.

Review: It's hard to believe, but it really is a whole year and half since we last heard from Jojo Effect. This time round on the 18 tracks on offer here (some are remixes), we encounter less of the electro, but more of the swing heard on previous releases. The overall effect is a smorgasbord of jazzy lounge styles that hark back to the 1940s with a little 21st century fizz, like the housed up Charleston jive of "Rockin' The Blue" and the Morcheeba-esque "Hollywood".

Review: Back in 2013 Greek producer Mister T hooked up with half-Thai, half-Scottish nu-jazz singer Jean Honeymoon for the excellent The Secret. Well they've finally got round to repeating the magic and the result is Take Me Away. There are three tracks on the EP, all of which continue with the smooth, retro-lounge vibes previously explored. The title track and "Love Is Wonderful" adds some '90s jazzy hip-hop moods to the mix, whilst "Let Your Voice Be Free" revisits that so-close-you-can-almost-taste-it mythical bar by the beach in 1960s Rio.

Review: This single is Greek producer Mister T's first release since long player Play It Loud, and he's still on fine form. Teaming up with seductive chanteuse Jean Honeymoon for three deliciously retro outings, "The Secret" leads the pack coming across as an early '60s Euro spy affair complete with mambo percussion and James Bond brass section. Further in "The Things You Do" swaps brass for Brubeck-style jazz, man. Lastly "With You" goes all shimmering Brazilian house on us, and we're not complaining!

Review: Over the years, Brenda Boykin has developed a worldwide reputation as a leader in jazz and blues vocal interpretation. This is chiefly due to her 'jump up style', which she defines as being a combination of 'bourbon and cornbread'. Album opener "Feel Me" is almost funky house but with added jazz trumpet and percussive embellishments. Beyond this "Mambo Jambo" is a Latino workout, "This Maybe Game" visits the jazzy side of the swinging 60s, "Where Is It Written" explores a vintage Nina Simone sound and "Stone Mad" is an up-tempo bluesy mambo hybrid. Also included is a pumping house remix of "Pa-Pade Swing" by Koko Chanel.

Review: Surprisingly, it's hard to find any information on who Sans Chichi is (or are), though we now know rather a lot about a French racehorse with the same name. Whoever's behind it, Mute N Muse is a charming, smoking jacket-sporting fusion of twinkling restaurant jazz, fireside grooves and emotion-rich downtempo groovery. While there's the odd uptempo cut - see the fuzzy instrumental soul of "Dolly's Run" and snappy "Pauline" - the overall feel is much more languid, downbeat and lounge-friendly, with extensive piano solos and hissing jazz cymbals to the fore. Music like this can sometimes get a bit "lift muzak", but Sans Chichi sidestep this potential pitfall with effortless ease.

Review: Perhaps known best for their lounge-tastic cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are", the Bebo Best Orchestra are masters of the soft shuffling art of gentle bossa and '60s exotica. There are covers on this full-length LP too - Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" gets a pleasingly Brazilian makeover for example - but it's originals like "Teu Corpo", "Samba Wonder" and "La Fleur De La Musique" that really stick out. The Lord Sitar-recalling "Beat Conductor" sees big-beat drums come out to shine while classic '70s funk is represented handsomely on "Bass 70".
