Review: Food Music continues to explore the archives of rave-era superstars N'Joi. They've already released a must-have 'best of', Collected, and here deliver the first of a series of EPs featuring previously unreleased recordings. Those around at the time may recognise some of the tracks because the popular duo frequently performed them in their live shows in the very early '90s. Their original live vocalist Luvian features on two tracks: the foreboding, bleep and early Orbital-influenced brilliance of opener 'Century Masters' and the sparkling, rushing, life-affirming piano house brilliance of 'Feel The Love (extended mix)'. Elsewhere, 'Acid Machine' is a breathlessly sleazy and psychedelic slab of post-bleep heaviness and 'Astoria' is a clanking bleep-and-breaks monster.

Review: For those born after 1990, N'Joi were one of the most commercially successful acts of the rave era, though their music remained steadfastly underground in tone. Collected, a retrospective of the duo's best work, is undoubtedly long overdue. Fittingly, it begins with the Unique 3 inspired bleep & bass of 'Techno Gangsters' and ends with the gnarled, breathless proto-jungle darkness of 'Strength'. In between you'll find such gems as the bouncy piano-house rush of 'Jah Heaven', the breathless, warehouse-ready acid techno stomp of 'Mindflux' and the stab-heavy breakbeat hardcire heaviness of 'Manic'. In a word: essential.

Review: Ten months after dropping their first EP on Food Music, rising stars Mac & Ward return with a quietly impressive and undeniably energy-packed sequel. The Leeds-based duo's love of robust, peak-time ready fare is explored on opener 'Bliss Nights', where smile-inducing piano motifs, melodic refrains and waves of sharp, rising and falling synthesizer sounds leap above a pumping, sub-heavy house groove. You'll find more attractively twisted, mind-mangling synth sounds on second track 'Turn Off The Lights', a bombastic, warehouse-ready stomper that doffs a cap to neo-trance while remaining a genuine big-room house treat.

Review: A quarter of a century has passed since the surge in disco-fired funky house from France led to the dancefloor dominance of "French touch" records. This EP from the previously little-known Jac Solaire was clearly inspired by that sound, though there's enough 21st century musical tricks to think of it as an update to the style rather than a tribute. We get three different takes on lead cut 'Volaris': an original mix that blends fresh, saucer-eyed vocals and bright-and-breezy disco instrumentation with a typically thickset French touch groove; a classic, Cassisus style rework from Alex Virgo, and a more heavily cut-up, stab-happy take from No-e that reminded us of DJ Sneak. Bonus cut 'Into The Night', meanwhile, could well end up being this year's 'Music Sounds Better With You'.

Review: Food Music is back again to follow up last week's terrific Day & Night various artists EP, which featured the likes of No-e, M.A.S.C & Fast Eddie, with another batch of young guns on Night & Day (see what they did there?). Bournemouth's Harry Judda (Dirtybird/Simma Black/Of Unsound Mind) teams up with James Davison on the swingy and bass-driven UK garage influence of "Skittle", Nesky gives you a taste of the acid life on the jacking "Bass Trip", Italian duo M.F.S. Observatory tread a similar 303 driven path on the old school Midwest techno vibe of "Ainno" and another banger comes from Mac & Ward on the peak time warehouse stomp of "Jups".
