Review: Retro funk enthusiasts Weekend Sun have teased us with a string of sizzling singles and the like, but it's taken until now for their debut long player, Forever Tomorrow, to drop. It's a colourful affair heavily indebted to the kind of sample-heavy 90s hip-hop that blended 1960s soul, funk and even hip jazz. However, despite the hip-hop influences, this collective of northeast musicians are all about classic songwriting dressed with vintage soul stylings, and this they do very well. Standouts here include the lushly forlorn "Love Remains" and the broken-soul-beat of "Lies".

Review: Hero No 7 were leading lights of the UK mash up/party cuts scene of the late 90s even going so far as having a track featured on The Herbaliser's Fabric mix cd. They also run their eponymous record label and here we have a 13-track compilation of their (own) output, which also includes some of their best remixes of other acts. Sounding surprisingly fresh, we find that perky breakbeats fused with snippets of found vocals and vintage funk samples are the order of the day. Standout tracks include the moody "Black Mountain" and the eerie "Futuristics".

Review: A teaming up between Renegades of Jazz' David Hanker and DJ Deli-Kutt, Mash & Munkee kick it in an old-skool style on this full-length album "We Like It Like That". All manner of '70s funk styles come together with scratches and processed drums on tracks like "Wake Up", "Sunny Day" and "Point Vista" while "Mexican B-Boy" goes slow and low - adding flutes and lilting guitars for a very mellow vibe indeed.
