Review: Mixes to suit a wide range of tastes on this latest offering from Greece's Timewarp Music. 'Good Love' is a summery slice of Afro-flavoured pop in its Original form, before Omegaman gives it a reggae-fied makeover. Tom Drummond's remix then adds a funkier edge, while Jayl Funk's heavier pass is more one for the funk-breaks crowd, though the dubwise bassline means this mix, too, could find its way into reggae-driven sets. The most dramatic rework, though, comes from Australia's Mind Electric, who ups the tempo by several notches, adds pianos and transforms it into a Saturday night house stomper.

Review: As previously mentioned on these pages, Timewarp Music's latest compilation comes in four volumes. This week, following #funk, #disco and #tropicaldub installments, we're in a #downtempo mood as label boss Timewarp Inc gathers together 16 very fine jams from the lower-paced side of the street. Highlights for yours truly include the hazy, driftaway neo-psych of Niles Philips' 'Hidden In A Starfield', the simple reggae groove of Groove Monkz's 'Promised Land' and Zamali's Massive Attack-like 'Zamali' but with influences spanning Balearica, trip-hop, jazz fusion and more, there's plenty to enjoy here for those that are watching their BPMs...

Review: Timewarp Music's 'Freestyle 4 Funk' series reaches its ninth installment, which (somewhat confusingly) comes in four volumes, subtitled #funk, #disco, #tropicaldub and #downtempo. This is the #tropicaldub selection, for which you can essentially read 'reggae and dub' as label regulars like Prosper & Stabfinger, DJ Laurel, Vito Lalinga, Funky Destination and of course head honcho Timewarp Inc step up to pay tribute to the sound of JA - while still allowing, as with the #funk volume, plenty of scope for fusions with other styles, be they Latin (see DJ Laurel's 'Sambafunk'), Afro (see Lalinga's 'Vrye Denke') or hip-hop and breaks (see P&S's 'Popping The Clutch'), not to mention one fine slab of straight-up funk (Zamali's 'Kings & Queens') and, in the form of 'Simoon', the obligatory weirded-out closer...

Review: Volume 9 in the series, so regular buyers should have a pretty good idea what to expect by now! For the uninitiated, it's perhaps worth stressing the 'freestyle' part of the title: no mere slavish pastiches of 70s-style funk, the 16 tracks here expand that original blueprint to encompass influences from hip-hop, house, breaks, Afrobeat, reggae and jazz. Highlights for this reviewer include the stuttered jazz-hop of Djazz.OrgOnite's 'Yo Sco', Umbo's fast and furious 'Foolin' Around' and label boss Timewarp Inc's own 'Not Bad Disco' - ironically one the album's most trad-style offerings - but you'll find your own for sure.

Review: German funk-breaks don Jayl Funk serves up two contrasting but complementary cuts on this latest outing for Greece's Timewarp Music. 'Take It Easy' itself is a classic-style funk jam with a distinctly jazzy twist to its lounge-y male scatted vox and bright piano chords - the kind of cut that summer poolside sessions were made for. 'The Other DJ', meanwhile, comes much more obviously from the funk-breaks school of thought, opening with a spoken vocal sample and heading down the cut 'n' paste route throughout, with some scratch sounds thrown in for good measure. Party-startin' stuff for sure.

Review: The title here, which sounds like a reference to belly-dancing, is presumably meant to imply something Middle Eastern-sounding, but to these ears 'My Belly Dream' actually feels more Latin-influenced if anything - though, to be fair, the intricate hand percussion that forms its backbone does come topped with a warbling flute line so you can kinda see where they're coming from! Jazz-funkish guitars and trumpets also have their part to play, the end result being a lilting, percussive swayer whose natural home will be outdoor sets in the sunshine, with the accompanying Beats Mix doing exactly what it says on the tin.

Review: Jayl Funk has been turning out the party-starting funk grooves for well over a decade now and this latest pair, brought to you by Timewarp Music, won't disappoint fans of his previous work one iota. 'You Gotta Feel It' opens with a rave-y warping synth riff, then brings in pianos and female vocal wails before finally bursting out in all its funk-fuelled nu-disco glory. The pop-style vox might be a bit much for some but there's no doubting the bassline or the horns work... so it's just as well there's also an instrumental included, isn't it? 'Step Into It' features the same vocalist but is a little more laidback in feel.

Review: It's always a pleasure to see a new excursion from Timewarp Music, a longstanding signature of dubwise legacy, with this latest album offering from Vito Lalinga being another jewel in their many-studded crown. From start to finish, the album offers a beautiful combination of reggae, funk and soul elements, focussing on blissful percussion, groovy bass melodies and awesome vocal ad libs to give us a non-stop dreamy landscape. This is without a doubt a project that needs to be taken in across a long play setting, but picking out highlights would mean having to lift up the catchy horn riffs of 'Watch', a super-groovy percussive inflections of 'Iris' and of course 'Vrye Denke', a gorgeous title track dipped in smooth jazzy fusion. Awesome work!

Review: Four mixes to choose from of this latest outing by DJ Marcon & The Palo Santos, a six-piece Afrobeat project from Bulgaria headed up by producer and DJ Nikolay 'Marcon' Markov and guitarist Yanko Agirov. In its original form, 'A Journey South' stands out thanks to some very fine trumpet work, while on the remix front, label boss Timewarp Inc takes us on a more low-slung 'n' funky ride, Aris Kokou tones downs the horns a little and lets the percussion do more of the heavy lifting, while Umbo brings the guitars further to the fore - though it has to be said these are fairly subtle variations.

Review: Ever-prolific Croatian producer Vladimir Sivc AKA Funky Destination, a regular on the likes of Timewarp Music, Kraak Records and Cold Busted, returns with what (if we're counting correctly) is at least his eighth album in 10 years. His music's spanned a range of styles including funk, breaks and Balearica over the years, but 'Bless Da Planet' finds him firmly in reggae and dub mode - and pulling it all off with surprising aplomb. Sivc may be no Bob Marley, Lee Scratch or Toots Hibbert, but this album's every bit as convincing as those "regional heroes"-type reggae bands you tend to stumble across by accident on Sunday afternoons at festivals, and that's no mean feat. Worth investigating for sure.

Review: A satisfyingly varied four-tracker here from 20-year scene veteran and Timewarp regular Quincy Jointz. 'Breath In' pairs a looping, reggae-tinged backbeat with dreamy fem vox that wouldn't sound out of place on a fluffy Ibiza prog cut - no, it shouldn't really work, but it does. The meandering, percussive 'Desert' follows and is the standout to these ears thanks to its use of a hypnotic, Indian-sounding male vocal loop. Next up, 'Be With You' is a slower, mellower jam with a seriously heavy bottom end and some lightly applied funk squelch, before dubwise headnodder 'Echo Chamber' plays us out. Good stuff.

Review: Three mixes to choose from of this belter from Croatia's Vladimic Sivc - better known as Funky Destination, in which guise he's released seven albums in the past 10 years. In its Original form, 'The Soulway Players' has male gospel backing vox, diva shouts namechecking Memphis, New Orleans, Chicago and New York, and most importantly a sense of repressed energy - like the club's gonna go crazy any second now, which means it'll be a great set-builder. The Extended Mix gives the fuzz guitar more room to breathe while Louie's House Mix sticks a 4/4 kick underneath, but in pleasingly subtle fashion.

With just a handful of previous EPs and compilation appearances (not least on the forthcoming 'Paper Cuts Vol 6') to his name, he now comes to Greek label Timewarp Music with a pleasingly dreamy and hypnotic slice of midtempo disco/electronic pop. 'Fallen Soul' features an ethereal female "I sold the sold to my devil today" vocal that shares centre-stage with a mournful trumpet line, but is also available stripped of the former if vocals aren't your thing.

Review: Formed in 2019 by DJ/producer Nikolay Markov and guitarist Yanko Argirov, DJ Marcon & The Palo Santos are an Afrobeat-inspired six-piece from Bulgaria and this, their third EP for Greek label Timewarp Music, is the proverbial "game of two halves". The title track pretty much an out-and-out Afrobeat/Afro-jazz affair, its stop-start rhythm topped with a militant female vocal and some very fine brass, but if that's not your bag then fret not because the accompanying 'After Midnight', while still Afro-tinged, rocks a more straight-up jazz/jazz-funk groove - and once again, somebody needs to buy that trumpeter a drink!

Review: With the words 'funky' and 'soul' appearing in the artist name and title you kind of know what to expect here, and rest assured there's no need to call in the Advertising Standards people because this long-player from Croatian producer Funky Destination, brought to you by Timewarp Music, does precisely what it says on the proverbial tin. Opening with the languid but hefty groove of 'I Don't Want You No More', the album operates largely at the more soulful end of the funk spectrum, veering occasionally into jazzier or more cinematic territory, with squalling Hammonds and sax much in evidence throughout. Vocals are by and large limited to looped samples but don't let that put you off - what you've got here are 49 minutes of real-deal shizzle that should scratch that funk itch for sure.

Review: You have to hand it to Angelos Stoumpos and his Timewarp empire: they've carved out a sound that's entirely their own, blending funk, soul, disco and house with reggae and dub tropes. The reggae influence here, though, is mostly limited to the rasta colours of the artwork: instead we're in straight-up funk and soul territory, with the pacy, floor-friendly 'Abyss' more than capable of holding its own alongside the likes of The Dap Kings, Speedometer or Lack Of Afro, while 'Foolin' Around' - the winner for yours truly - drops down into a deeper, dirtier funk groove, with some neat jazz flourishes around the edges.

Review: Volume 5 in the series once more finds Timewarp Music boss Timewarp Inc remixing a choice selection of nuggets from the label's recent back catalogue. Given that it IS the fifth volume - and given how prolific Mr Stoumpos is generally - you likely have a good idea what to expect already, and suffice to say you're probably on the right lines, with the collection starting out mostly in Balearic/downtempo/soulful territory while reggae, hiphop and dub flavas become more pronounced as the collection progresses. For sure-fire danceability, start with the instrumental rubs of cuts from Prosper & Stabfinger and Jack & Jointz.

This latest long-player is sitting on our Broken Beat/Nu-Jazz page, but to be fair there's not that much "nu" about it and much of what's here could safely be filed under straight-up Jazz - which, by the way, is an indication of its quality, not a complaint!

'Safe' is the standout for this reviewer, but there's much to love here.

Review: It's a very groovy time to be alive with Timewarp Music at the helm, unveiling here a very fun collection from Funky Destination, packed in with five fabulous original flavours. We open up with the intricate percussive pulses and blippy guitar melodies of 'Feeling Fly', which puts us right into the mood for a good time, with the organ-driven melodies and vibrant drum designs of 'Let The Spirit Heal' coming in directly after. From here, the vocals are pushed to the background for a hot second as 'So Damn Funky' unleashes a marvellous display of instrumental groove & texture, bouncing between slap bass manoeuvres and intricate guitar solos, before welcomes that warm vocal presence back with another hip-shaker of an arrangement. Finally, we enjoy a cosy outro in 'Flashback', which being bracketed with 'Louie's Kitchen' feels like the EP's after party, floating between loose yet tidy horn melodies and big room band drum lines to close out the EP in style.

Review: Anyone checking out this long-player from Belgian producer Zamali is advised to stick with it, because the first two tracks - the moody trip-hop of 'Raclette' and the Balearic-leaning 'Never Again' - don't really prepare you for what's to come. The first hint you get of the album's overall vibe comes in the form of 'Low Key Factor', a midtempo slab of 'new old' funk-soul, after which 'Downtown Lagos' and 'Kings & Queens' pay tribute to the vibrant Afro-funk scene of the mid-late 70s before 'Chicago Soul' and 'Solar Quest' play us out on a more straight-up funk tip, the former having some rockier elements while the latter is pure Blaxpoitation-style squelch.

In its original form, 'Popping The Clutch' is a funk-hop affair, with a rap courtesy of one Jonie D, that calls to mind the work of Bristolian scene faves The Allergies - or possibly, if you're a little older, all those early 90s 'Guru's Jazzmatazz' albums.

Track titles like 'AfrEvolution', 'Nzuri' and 'Touba' give you a clue as to the distinctly Afro-flavoured feel that predominates on the first half of the album, but then we're thrown a curveball in the form of the Latin-oriented 'Carousel', which ushers in the second half, wherein Lalinga ploughs a more straight-up funk/jazz-funk furrow. As such it's an album that's well worth investigating whether you're a big fan of Afro styles or not, with 'Joy & Dance' - a sophisticated instrumental reminiscent of the likes of Dexter Wansel or Deodato - the pick to these ears.

Review: He's probably best known for his many contributions to the long-running 'Katakana Edits' re-edit series, but DJ Laurel - Minsk native Lavr Berzhanin - does actually MAKE original music as well! Here, he teams up with Bruges-based vocalist Oleg Jagger on a sun-drenched (and fairly self-explanatory) slab of Latin-infused funk. Mix-wise, you can choose between the summery Original which puts fluttering Spanish guitar front and centre, an earthier, more stripped-back remix from Prosper & Le Marabout which foregrounds the chanted vocal, or Vito Lalinga's rerub, which is similar to the Original but with a slightly jazzier feel.

These days he's focusing more on original productions, and now he returns to the Greek label with his debut full-length. Contemporary funk is his stock-in-trade, sometimes - as on 'Jack The Ripper' - veering towards the funk-breaks/funk-hop side of the street, other times leaning more towards "new old" homage vibes, but never shy of dropping in a familiar vocal sample here and there, or injecting a hint of disco, Afro or even house flava.
