Review: Based in Suffolk, ActRaiser goes by Rob Sayles in real life, and until quite recently he was best known for a string of liquid funk releases on labels such as Fokuz, Celsius and Influenza Media. His fourth album, however, finds him back in the downtempo/chill-out territory where he started out - his 2011 debut album came out on Cold Busted. 'Short Stories' may be sitting in our Broken Beat/Nu-Jazz pages but you won't find too many 7/13 time signatures or pointless flute noodles here - instead think dreamy, soulful instrumental vibes from the Balearic side of the street. It's a little 'polite' in places, maybe, but easy on the ear all the same.

Review: Greek label Kraak brings us another collection of lower-paced electronic grooves. As it's the fifth volume, fans of the label will have a pretty good idea what to expect already, but for anyone who's new to the series, contained herein you'll find plenty for ammunition for your Balearic and post-club sets - think muted, ponderous beats, dusty old jazz samples, hazy synths, fluttering Spanish guitars, birdsong and ocean sounds. Things do pick up a little tempo-wise towards the end of the album, though, to the extent that DJ Mas Corazon's 'A Better Day' could even find its way onto soulful house floors.
