Katakana Edits Vol 140
Sliced Berries - (2:28) 154 BPM
Sliced Berries (extended) - (2:53) 154 BPM Hot
Sliced Berries (instrumental) - (2:53) 154 BPM
Review: Next up on the super impressive Katakana Edits series, a spicy set of weapons indeed as we take a look into a Goji Berry special. The track itself takes the title 'Sliced Berries' and takes an unmistakable vocal lead and reworks it into a fusion of futuristic breaks and rock and roll. It's quite a task to take such an immediately recognizable vocal and give it an entirely new feeling, but that is something that we see achieved here through numerous key changes and unique instrumentation. Alongside the original rework, we also see an extended mix addition, alongside a full instrumental offering to allow DJ's to play until their hearts are content.

Katakana Edits Vol 74
Funkin' Basstards - "N.H.L" - (3:48) 152 BPM Hot
Review: For their latest two-track trip into peak-time party territory, the Katakana Edits crew has recruited a couple of break-digging artists from Greece: MCurdit and former Timewarp sorts Funkin' Basstards. It's the former who kicks things off with the low-slung, head-nodding, hip-wiggling bounce of "Brooklyn Bount Sq.", where aggressive (sampled) rap vocals rise above heavy bass and chunky beats. Funkin' Basstards, meanwhile, jet to sunnier climes via a funky and chunky, slightly tooled-up mid-tempo breaks revision of a Tito Puente style mambo workout. It's really rather good, all told, with jaunty and memorable horn lines, timbales and Cuban vocals all emphasizing the track's party-hearty Latin mood.

Ain't Swing It - (4:34) 150 BPM
Review: Lord a'mercy! Timewrap are chowing down on 2018 with the appetite of 10 armies right now. Hot on the heels of their space disco collection comes this equally spotless set of versions, edits and booties ranging from dub-style hip-hop to all-out trouser swinging Motown monsters. Highlights include beastie skanker "Dopesmokah", the doo-wap walloper "Say Some", the big band cosmic soul drama of "Dr Ray", the middle eastern mischief of "Ida Tharis" and the psychedelic hip-hop funk of "Bambuta".

DJ Oli Garch - "Rollin Stone" - (5:15) 157 BPM
Review: If life teaches you anything it's to expect the unexpected. Here the mighty re-edit label Katakana deliver their 42nd instalment of scapel jobs. However, this time, rather than have a specific producer curate an EP, they've shaken up the formula and delivered a compilation of edits. There's a whopping 24 reworks to enjoy too, many thrills and spills, but our favourites include Morlack's explosive drum-lead MJ cover, "Don't Stop", Mister Vagz' corny 60s mash-up "Love Me Venus" and Dim Zach & Deem's baggy rework of the Happy Monday's sublime "Loose Fit".
