Review: Abelardo Carbono must be one of Colombia's most legendary artists, particularly for championing the sound of "champeta", a guitar-led style that has come to represent the South American country and its music. The Names You Can Trust imprint comes through with a glorious one-tracker by Carbono himself, alongside his 'Grupo' and, unsurprisingly, the masterful modern production of Quantic. "La Pina Madura" is a beast of a track, all built with percussive glory and the fiery South American zest that is made all the more effective by Quantic's post-production work. Slightly off-kilter and irregular in its shapes, this is undoubtedly a single that you will want to bust out this summer. Blazing hot!

Review: La Mecanica Popular is the sound that is coming out of the more traditional house and techno equation, filtering through on our charts with a tropical edge that merges just about all the facets of world-dance music possible! Peruvian, Colombian, Cuban, and North American influences are blended up and served to you on a platter, via the currently unstoppable Names You Can Trust label. There are six parts here, all of them showcasing something to do with the carnival atmosphere, at times speeding up into high-tech percussion or otherwise offering moody, seductive waves of pseudo-balearica. In a nutshell, this is the very best of what contemporary world-dance has to offer. 10/10.

Review: Names You Can Trust's recent interest in all things Hispanic has proved particularly fruitful, and has possibly reached its peak with the self-proclaimed 'psychedelic salsa' collective, La Mencanica Popular. Their trippy sound is entrenched in 1970s salsa dura, but more otherworldly; "Paz Del Freak' sounds like a crazy 1960s Mexican film soundtrack, recorded at an open air cinema whilst aliens are overheard listening in, while "Guajiro" on the other hand is a spacey salsa semi-instrumental drowned in radio interference and feedback.

Review: Hailing from New York's hippest district, the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra are an eleven piece band serving up distinctive, salsafied covers of all manner of indie, rock and underground dance hits. Their sassy, unfussy and surprisingly effective repertoire includes tracks by Arcade Fire, Animal Collective and LCD Soundsystem - all given dancefloor-baiting salsa makeovers that neatly sidestep novelty territory. Here, they turn TV On The Radio's maudlin "Wolf Like Me" into an urgent blast of horn-heavy salsa funk, before turning their attention to Peter, Bjorn & John's singalong classic "Young Folks". Both impress, with the latter's near-anthemic status winning out.

Review: The third in a series of releases from the Names You Can Trust label that seeks to update cumbia for modern listeners - this time helmed by Argentinean producer Doctor Stereo. Keeping things rootsy and live-sounding, the good Doctor puts a Latin piano out front over an itchy modern take on that distinctive cumbia rhythm, done this time in a more sequenced, electroid way. Tahira's Afro-Cumbia mix makes greater use of that infectious rhythm, almost resembling a slowed-down techno beat with added funk guitars and bass floating through the mix. A great idea that's nicely rendered over these two tracks.

Review: Not to be confused with the bobble hat wearing Rinse FM DJ of the same name, Brooklyn based DJ Oneman returns to the ever excellent Names You Can Trust label for more sonic meanders with E's E as Midnight Lab Band. "Lasertag" proves their versatility too, dropping a vintage 80s disco funk strut that wouldn't look out of place on Peoples Potential Unltd! Heavy on the synth wiggles and big drum machine sounds, there's also a hint of balearica via the intermittent guitar action. Check "Don's Demo (2)" for some slo mo synth freak out action - apparently this one is a reworking of an obscure recording from Don Stark. Regardless it has a definite off kilter charm!

Review: Brooklyn producers E?s E and Oneman have joined forces to enjoy the chilled side of beats on their Midnight Lab Band project. Taking their cues from classic 90?s Ninja Tune, Kruder and Dorfmeister and Nightmares on Wax, they?ve created six stunning tunes for your laidback appreciation.
Opener ?Into Dimensions? carries a jazzy swagger as the steady beats are built on until they disappear in a torrent of dub-style delay, replaced by a sole wailing electric guitar. It?s strange but it works so well, demonstrating the pleasing range of sounds that are scattered over Mission Control. ?Moonwalking? starts off as a slightly downbeat and moody Latin funk jam before it reduces to just a beat. Suddenly the bass switches and starts to play the riff from Billie Jean and the tune is transformed.
?Heliocenter? concentrates on trippy soundscapes over a dubby beat, while ?Traveller?s Lament? mixes up funky drums with eerie string stabs that balances the mood nicely. ?Decompression? also does a delicate dance between upbeat and downbeat, putting some plaintive Rhodes piano on top of some Holy Ghost-style beats. Anyone with an affinity for the golden days of trip-hop will instantly appreciate where MLB are coming from, but there?s so much more to this release that fans of a wide variety of genres will definitely be rewarded, such is their winning eclecticism and skill.
