Review: For their fifth full-length excursion, Session Victim have largely sidestepped the dancefloor, instead serving up a headphones-friendly set rooted in their love of downtempo and Balearic sounds. Of course, there are some tracks that you could dance to - most notably the darkened, jazz-flecked, library music-goes-to-the-disco shuffle of 'Dweller' - but for the most part the pair effortlessly sashay between blunted hip-hop beats and moody trip-hop ('Mycelium Dub', 'Porchless', the twinkling 'Soft Landing'), pastoral-sounding folktronica ('The gorgeous, life-affirming 'The Hidden Trail' and 'One Trick Ponies', which sounds like a 21st century update of Bert Jansch's 'Avocet' album), nu-jazz ('Jazzbeat08') and library music-inspired immersive soundscapes ('Enlightenment').
Review: Ash Walker takes us on a cosmic voyage with his fourth album 'Astronaut', featuring collaborations with Lou Rhodes, Andrew Ashong, Amp Fiddler, Laville and more. The album is a dazzling showcase of Walker's eclectic sound that blends jazz, blues, soul, funk and reggae. From blissful to funky, from soulful to psychedelic, from groovy to spacey, the album spans genres and styles while keeping a consistent groove and vibe. This is an album for fans of sophisticated and adventurous music that transcends boundaries.
