Review: In keeping with the previous five releases in this series, Vol 6 of Katakana Edits once again takes vintage tunes and chops 'em up, adding extra modern percussion and the like, to deliver contemporary dancefloor fillers with an old skool twist. This release uses very old songs as the basis for each tune: vintage blues for the Moby-esque "Run Blind", Latino mambo on "Pussycat" and Mexicana on "Yiri Cumbia". Conversely, and perhaps to keep the audience on their toes, "Bitch Boot" features samples of foul-mouthed rap including "My Neck, My Back" by Khia!

Review: If you're looking for some cheeky, party-starting music with a difference, this selection of electro-swing re-edits could be perfect. Featuring reworks that range from straight-up swing ("Swing In Rome"), and sweaty mambo-house ("Vira IV"), to heavyweight Arabian jams given a contemporary twist ("Caravan Boot"), there are plenty of horn-toting global rhythms to enjoy. By far and away the best track, though, is closer "Drum & Salsa", which dispenses with additional kits and house production trickery in favour of intricate percussion, Latino swagger and choice vocal samples. Does what it says on the tin. Well, kind of.
