Review: Having cut his teeth on Tru Thoughts, veteran soulful beatmaker Diesler moves on to pastures new with his 5th long player, Sounds Familiar, on A Little Something Recordings. Don't worry though, the clue's in title with the album boasting 12 nu-funk jams that are just as good as the old stuff. Highlights here include the deep and percussive future-soul vibes of "Human When You Dance", the very topical and tropical electronic baile funk of "Gold In Rio" and the rolling bass boogie locomotive "Soho To Brighton". This time round familiarity breeds content(ment).

Review: In just a little bit of break from the norm, veteran producer Diesler recently departed his home stable Tru Thoughts and released his 5th long player, Sounds Familiar, on A Little Something Recordings instead. His nu-funk mojo remained intact though and the album boast 12 of his best. One of which was "Caught Counting", a bewitching tin-pot shuffle featuring the vocals of Lizzy parks and Azaxx. It now been highlighted as single material complete with a neat bonus mix too - a brassy, electro-swing style rework by Sam Redmore that comes in both full vocal and instrumental versions.

Diesler feat Afrika Fuentes
Played by: George Kelly
Review: Diesler is Jonathan Radford from Burnley near Manchester. He's a producer and DJ that's been long affiliated with Tru Thoughts and Freestyle Records, in addition to being label manager for A Little Something Recordings. He presents his new single "Red Light" featuring homegirl Afrika Fuentes here. It is a groovy serving of deep and soulful nu-jazz with Fuentes amazing vocals taking centre stage. The remix up next by Greek nu-disco hero George Kelly (from Chopshop) is more streamlined for the dancefloor on this straight-up deep house makeover, with some strict garage rhythms to get the message through. It also comes with a handy dub version for those of you less keen on the vocals, plus an instrumental version of the original.

Diesler feat Double Yellow
Played by: Juno Recommends Broken Beat Nu Jazz
Review: Last year Diesler raised eyebrows by releasing his 5th long player, Sounds Familiar, on A Little Something Recordings instead of his traditional home of Tru Thoughts. The switch did him good - producing a well-received album with a new sense of adventure. The latest single to be taken from the LP is "Human When We Dance": a sultry jazz-funk groove-a-thon that sounds like a house band providing the good vibes in a run down beach bar in some tropical location. Jack & Jointz meanwhile deliver a slinky rework that sounds like early Duran Duran on downers (a good thing btw).

Review: A Little Something Records has long been Diesler's vehicle for his own productions and collaborations, with mates and like-minded producers (including some whose careers have been as impressively lengthy as his) providing reworks. This release celebrates the latter aspect of the label's output, rounding up some of the best re-rubs and adding a sprinkling of previously unreleased ones. Check first Sam Redmore's bouncy, bass-heavy rub of 'Caught Counting', before admiring the razor-sharp deep funk flex of Renegades of Jazz's version of 'Birds & Bees' and the drowsy deep house-meets-nu-disco vibes of the Jack & Jointz remix of 'Human When You Dance'. Highlights elsewhere across the EP include the dusty, lo-fi deep house brilliance of the Flashbaxx revision of 'Work It Out' and the warehouse-ready Wrangle revision of 'In Love With The Weather Girl'.
