Retromigration & Nephews - "Bad Knees" - (5:06) 85 BPM
Played by: Kellie Allen
Review: After releasing a wealth of EPs since making his debut in 2020, Malik Kassim is ready to unleash his first album, 'Straight Foxin', for the constantly inspiring Wolf Music Reordings. Framed as a kind of mixtape, with head-nodding interludes sitting side by side with club cuts, the 14-track set features a wealth of appearances from horn player Mauricesax, as well as collaborations with Bezzix (see the deep dancefloor jazz of 'Be Someone' and the organic deep jazz house of 'New Cribs'), Passion Deez (the skittish, uptempo deep house-goes-ghetto house warmth of 'Kush Love') and 'Nephews' (the deep, Bukem-influenced D&B flex of 'Bad Knees'). Throughout, Kassim offers a near perfect blend of dusty instrumental hip-hop, nu-jazz and the deepest and warmest of house grooves. Recommended!

Aerial
Elv - (2:30) 80 BPM
Review: Fresh from dropping a pair of fine fusion EPs with Dele Sosimi on Wah Wah 45s, Medlar returns home to Wolf Music Recordings with his most expansive release since 2013 debut album Sleep. In keeping with his musical evolution since then, Aerial is a thrillingly eclectic, colourful and imaginative affair, with Medlar flitting between the Wally Badarou-on-acid vibes of the undeniably cosmic title track; the acid-fired, cowbell-rich strut of 'Iguanadon'; the percussion-rich Dinosaur L mutations of 'Elephant Bingo'; the downtempo jazz-funk of 'Elv'; the late-night, drum machine driven weirdness of 'Cr78-108'; the '89 NYC garage-meets-New Jack Swing flex of 'Phoenix Lights'; and the slow-motion, bass-heavy Balaearica of 'Sin Prisa'. In a word: ace!

She Is EP
Faces Sob O Sol - (2:52) 86 BPM
Faces Sob O Sol (Moomin remix) - (5:29) 86 BPM Hot
Review: Put your jazzbo mettle to the test with this out-there four tracker from Portuguese producer Pedro. 'She Is' opens proceedings, an experimental, druggy groove with a single looped vocal line, parping sax and delicate ivories work: think Red Snapper or the trio of Tupac, Roth and Newton in 'Gridlock'd'. 'Face Sob O Sol', which follows, is a complete change of pace: a gentle, melodic and melancholy affair in which the piano takes centre stage. 'Alef' then blends influences from reggae and jazz-funk into a summer afternoon headnodder, before we're thrown a final curveball in the form of Moomin's fierce liquid funk remix of 'Face Sob O Sol'.

This Is What I'm Going Through
Float - (5:39) 80 BPM Hot
Review: Something a little bit different from London deep house/nu-disco specialists Wolf Music here. Portuguese producer Pedro teams up with Washington DC based vocalist Jenna Camille. Featuring influences from jazz though to soul, R'n'B and broken beat: as heard on the sexy late night mood lighting of "Float" which you can imagine hearing in the basement of a smoky jazz club, the super sultry "Keep It H 2000" or the funky beat beneath the smooth groove of "Future Dance" (It'll Be Ok). It might be from Porto by way of the American capital, but this really nails that UK kind of vibe in the vein of Kaidi Tatham, Mark De Clive Lowe or Atjazz.

Junkfoodnmusic (feat Kadinsky) - (1:57) 85 BPM
Review: Dortmund based producer Mr. Fries returns to Wolf Music for his third outing for the London label, with yet more sample heavy/MPC saturated cuts that follows up a terrific EP on Philpot. WOLFEP 045 opens with the sexy late night mood lighting of "Nocturnal" with its creamy Rhodes melody and dusty drums, the funky "Work" and its bass driven/Moodymann influenced groove, and the sunny open-air deepness of "Getright" which you could imagine hearing at a outdoor party on a summer Sunday in Berlin. Speaking of which, the fine EP closes out in blissed-out style with the very Money $ex/Tartelet sounding urban blues of "Thesimplethings" nailing that deep sound of the German capital.

Yesterday's Tomorrows
Into The Woods - (6:25) 81 BPM
Review: For his first album since 2016's acclaimed A Minor Thought, Sebastian Genz AKA Moonin has upped-sticks from Smallville and resurfaced on Wolf Music. Musically, little has changed, meaning a heady and intoxicating blend of sumptuous, organ-heavy dancefloor dustiness, muddy lo-fi house, jazzier workouts and the kind of sample-rich, hip-hop influenced deep house jams that are currently all the rage. There are a few curveballs dotted throughout, too, most notably the head-nodding instrumental hip-hop deepness of "949494" and a couple of wonderfully deep and evocative, liquid style drum and bass rollers. In other words, it's an excellent album that exudes smoky deepness from start to finish.

Familiar Circles Remixes
Oddity (Moomin remix) - (6:13) 81 BPM
Review: The latest release from the reliable Wolf Music camp features two previously unheard remixes of tracks from Casino Times' Familiar Circles full-length. Al Zanders does a stellar job reworking "Carlotta", in the process laying down a hypnotic, percussion rich deep house shuffler full of bright cowbell hits, sunset-friendly jazz guitar licks and bubbly electronic melodies. Then you'll find a more than pleasant surprise: a deep, dreamy and utterly beguiling drum & bass remix of "Oddity" from Smallville regular Moomin. Its expert combination of evocative musical elements and crispy, snare-driven D&B rhythms is reminiscent of the golden age of Bukem-style liquid D&B.

Rarely Pure, Never Simple
Rarely Pure, Never Simple (feat Loes Jongerling) - (3:03) 87 BPM
Review: It's no surprise to see Amsterdam man Fritz Wentink issuing his debut album through Wolf Music, as the London label have been staunch supporters of his work with two 12" contributions over the past two years. The wonderfully named Rarely Pure, Never Simple adds to Wolf Music's growing artist album profile following long players from main men Medlar and Greymatter and further develops the all encompassing production style Wentink has displayed so eloquently for Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings and others. He seems most impressive on the more downbeat tracks done in collaboration with Loes Jongerling who possesses a quite astounding vocal delivery, though those craving some proper house will totally dig on cuts like "The Excitement Happens At Page 320".
