Review: Deep on that French spiritual jazz tip, Heavenly Sweetness look to the saxxy sounds of Laurent Bardainne in tandem with the 808 beats, electro-synth and Versatile Records repute of one Etienne Jaumet. The result? Bardainne Jaumet - an EP bringing together the fandangledness of French fusion jazz with weirdo, improvisational synth, and a touch of Middle Eastern motifs and flair. For your more functional dancefloor numbers look to "Le Vaisseau Oublie" and "Blurry Neon" with overt freeform sessions coming through "Le Sacre De La Lumiere" and "Vapeur De Mercure". If you're a fan of groups like Space to obscure French cinema like La Planete Sauvage - this is for you.

Review: The earlier editions of the Beach Diggin' series were released in the depths of winter, but this new fifth instalment continues to buck the trend by appearing at the height of summer. Ibiza veterans Mambo & Guts are once again at the helm, providing us with 13 more 'perfect soundtracks for a lazy day at the beach' (there's also a 40 min mix too!). Highlights include the squelchy electronic funk of Raphael Toine's "Femmes Pays Douces", the sleek Italo-disco/Balearica of Andre-Marie Tala's "Sweet Dole" and the Rebles' impossibly tropical soca cover of Sade's "Sweetest Taboo".

Review: Despite being presented as the perfect soundtrack for a lazy day at the beach, both previous installments of Beach Diggin' were released in January - not best time for the beach if you're up north. However this time, the in-house mixologists at Heavenly Sweetness, Guts and Mambo, are releasing volume three bang on time for summer. Last time they plowed super-deep and have dug up even more here, coming up with 14 sunkissed rarities including the golden tones of Gene Lawrence's "Feel Like Making Love" and the low down and dirty vintage funk dub-out "Wars In Space" by Brother Resistance. Now, where's the sunblock?

Review: Heavenly Sweetness is a Parisian label spreading colourful music for the soul. They're able to do this by singing such tremendous acts as local 10 pieces jazz outfit Cotonete - fresh from a killer collaboration with the French don of disco himself: Dimitri From Paris. Their new single for the label is the epic "Cabo" which receives an on-point remix by none other than Phil Asher - the UK house music extraordinaire behind such seminal projects like Restless Soul and Focus who merges exotic syncopated rhythms and a cosmic aesthetic that works wonderfully on this euphoric rendition.

Review: Following releases on Brownswood and Do Right!, Leron Thomas has finally been given the opportunity to deliver his own long player courtesy of Heavenly Sweetness. It's an accomplished debut too, boasting 12 cuts of leftfield soul and funk. Highlights include the jazzy, space age dubber "Role Play", the low slung, live roller "Victorian Walls" and the punk-jazz fuzzbomb "Asako". Interesting stuff!

Review: Here's yet another rare '80s compilation with even more deep cuts than the last. Where do they find them all? Heavenly Sweetness clearly know but they ain't telling! They are showing though, and here on Digital Zandoli they reveal 12 newly discovered disco, boogie and zouk tracks recorded about 30 years ago in the West Indies. We're clearly spoilt for choice on this record, but highlights include the synthetic sea breeze grooves of Puzzle Pulsion's "Mwoin Ka Songe", the mellow Afro grooves of Zanman's "Poutchi" and the abstract body music via a sandy beach vibes of OR EA's "Biguine Inferno".

Review: Since making his debut in the mid noughties - some 15 years after he began making beats -Ibiza-based Guts has developed his sound somewhat. Where his early releases doffed a cap to classic trip-hop and downtempo grooves, recent outings have effortlessly joined the dots between live funk, golden era hip-hop and modern soul, with some notable jazz and Latin American influences thrown in. Eternal, his latest full-length, continues this approach, throwing in additional nods to P-funk (the superb "Give You Up"), nu-jazz ("Incomplete"), and Afrobeat ("Dance, Love & Die"). With a string of guest musicians, singers and rappers lending a hand, Eternal is a vibrant, thrill-a-minute album that shows off the full range of Guts' finely honed skills.

Review: Happy birthday Heavenly Sweetness! 10 years deep into their explorations, excavations and curations, French label Heavenly Sweetness look back over the decade and hand pick some of their favourite moments. With such a fine ear for timelessness and vibe, the whole collection runs with a soul and spiritual fluidity as one cohesive body of work; from the incredible-yet-so-gradual momentum of Chickenwing All Stars "Celestial Blues" to touching homages to the one and only Coltrane from both Patchworks and Byard Lancaster via slick spacebound feminist hip-hop from Sly Johnson and a stacks more, this is the type of collection you can lose entire weeks of your life to. Here's to another 10 years.

Review: Cotonete have a reputation for fooling even the most discerning ears, with their deceptively authentic 70s funk sound. They were actually formed in Paris in 2005, but don't let that fact (we're post fact now, right?) get in the way of the fantasy. This nine-piece outfit will have you believing that you're living in the time of purple flares and lime green polyester shirts before you know it. Here we have their latest jam, "Inside Outside", which is a seven-minute brassy, sassy psychedelic mellow meander. Phil Asher meanwhile pops up to lead the Acid Jazz revival on his supremely sick "Soul Fun Band" mix (also comes in instrumental form).

Aldo Romano, Louis Sclavis & Henri Texier - "Soweto Sorrow" (live At Jazz A Vienne, 2000) - (4:01) 99 BPM
Review: The Jazz A Vienne festival has been drawing jazz lovers to southeastern France every year since 1981, and now they mark their Covid-delayed 40th anniversary with a 14-track compilation featuring a blend of brand new material and classic live recordings from the festival itself - "hard bop, pure jazz classicism and hip-hop urgency united in a single breath," is how they put it. It's one of the vintage nuggets - The Milt Jackson & Hank Jones All-Star Quartet's 1997 recording of 'Delilah' - that provides the album's standout cut for yours truly, but with the likes of Lalo Schiffrin and Gilberto Gil nestling up alongside a host of younger artists, jazzbos of a more tradtional (but definitely not 'trad') mindset will find much to enjoy here.
