Review: Thanks to spins from Ben UFO, amongst others, hype has been building around this release for a few months. It comes from Glaswegian debutant Adam Zarecki, who has conjured up one of the most blissful, life affirming and effortlessly funky chunks of deep house/disco fusion we've heard for some time. Lead cut "Yesterday's" is superb; a breezy, sunshine-friendly blend of undulating bass guitar, jazzy electric guitar riffs, bluesy vocal samples and swinging dancefloor drums. It's utterly ace and could well turn out to be one of the runaway underground hits of 2019. Virtual flipside "Pretending", a slightly busier chunk of string-laden disco house smothered in Jimmy Smith style jazz-funk organ solos, is also rather good.

Review: Starting off as a funk and old school hip hop DJ on the Dublin circuit, George Feely has since made the transition to the electronic side of things, taking his productions into housier and discofied territory as heard on his new one for Roots for Bloom's 23rd edition. From the lo-slung and sleazy mood lighting of "Never You Mind" to bubbling up some hot chocolate via the totally funked-up "95 Hustlaz" and the lush and hazy expression in deepeness at the end that is "Far" - here's a funk ridden shakedown from start to finish, one for the more lively parties you might even play at.

Review: Most instalments in the Shag Edits series tend to see Jamie Trench (Roots For Bloom label boss) cantered in a four-way action scenario with other equally endowed (musically) talents. Here is now different, with Trench slipping between the sheets to deliver the dirty and edgy jacker "Take Off Your Shirt". He's joined by L'Atelier, who delivers a handbaggy rework of an old vogueing classic, whilst Oli Furness turns in a fuzzy, distorted, loop-heavy diva disco jam, "Always Go Back Again" and Ghetto Chords takes control with closer, the super-upbeat Latin house shimmy, "Along The Way".

Review: Roots For Bloom's consistently on-point SHAG Edits jams continue with typically steamy results. Ethyene takes the lead with a big swooning string sample and shuffling Buckethead style beats, LK brings up the rear slowly and smoulderingly with a delicious slo-mo cosmic chugger, Georgi Barrel's "Up The Hill" is another big sample groove with more than a whiff of Sneak's "Can't Hide From Your Bud" to it. Finally David Moran closes the show with the sexiest jam of the set; the boogie breaks badness of "Weak". Strong

Review: Roots For Bloom boss Jamie Trench has decided to mix things up a little on the latest edition of the Shag Edits series, supplementing one of his own contributions with cuts from three label debutants. His "Where The Party At" is a brilliantly ballsy, bass-heavy fusion of classic funk breaks, 45 King style samples and booming house beats, while Reese Johnson makes merry on the heavyweight disco-funk-goes-house slammer "Let's Dance". Bristol-based Alfresco Disco regular J Morrison snuggles up to the Godfather of Soul on his bumpin', subtly executed funk head-nodder "Brown Eyes", before G Markus brings proceedings to a close with the acid-laden deep house/disco fusion that is "BING!".
