Review: Five years on from the release of their debut (and so far only) long-player 'A Cosmic Jazz Funk Adventure', Motor City trio Detroit Rising hand over four of the album's tracks to the great and the good of the broken beat, nu-jazz and deep house scenes for remixing: stand up Jimpster, Kaidi Tatham and Co-Op veteran Evm128. It's Jimpster's remix of 'Rocket Love' that takes the gold for this reviewer thanks to its very Snoop-like rap vocal, but bruk beat lovers will fiend for Tatham and Ewm128's rubs of 'Our World' and 'Gorgeous' (respectively) while Tatham's take on 'Peace & Harmony' should find favour on the jazz-dance floors.

Review: The A's & Bees label was founded on a simple premise: to deliver fresh editions of killer cuts of old that showcase original mixes and new versions from some of the re-edit scene's best and brightest talents. Here they mine the catalogue of disco-era vocalist Jackie Moore and return with 1983 single 'Holding Back', a sweet, jazz-funk influenced slab of boogie-era disco that's something of a cult classic. Italian hero Moplen provides a fresh multi-track remix that builds up through waves of percussion and reverb-laden solos before unleashing the full song and a particularly strong instrumental end section. The EP also boasts three '83 mixes from John Morales and Sergio Munzabai: the self-explanatory 'Vocal Mix', the nine-minute 'Breakdown Mix' (which features multiple drops, builds and breakdowns) and the vocal-free 'Chin-Mental' mix.

Review: Four new mixes here of a track from 1976 that'll be familiar to most disco connoisseurs: a firm favourite at David Mancuso's The Loft, it's featured on countless bootlegs over the years (including the 'Loft Classics' 12-inch series in the 90s) as well as Tom Middleton's 'The Trip' compilation. The Extended and 2023 mixes delivered here stick pretty faithfully to the space-y, sensual groove of the original, leaving it up to everyone's favourite moustachioed Parisian to get busy with the echo box and other FX on his Remix before stripping things right back on his Spacer Dub. A must, whichever rub you plump for.

Turntill, Merlin, Santo Color - "Soledad" (feat Jamilah Harman & Suika T - Timewarp Inc remix) - (4:25) 120 BPM
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.

Review: James Alexander Bright you may know for his leftfield output on !K7, Tom Findlay you almost certainly know as one-half of Groove Armada, and now Athens Of The North bring us the deadly duo's first collaborative full-length. Laidback, shimmering electronic pop is the order of the day, with fragile, wistful male vocals much in evidence and the tempo - as the title makes clear - never getting much above walking pace. In terms of dancefloor action there's really only the slightly beefier 'NY Disco (Smile)' to talk about: this is an album made for late-night home listening, or for lazing by the pool, mojito in hand. But in such circumstances it'll go down most pleasingly.

Review: Brooklyn-based five-piece 79.5, headed up by singer, songwriter and bandleader Kate Mattison, released their debut long-player 'Predictions' on Big Crown Records in 2018 and now, five years on, they follow it up with their self-titled sophomore outing on Razor-N-Tape. '79.5' opens with the sax-sporting late-night dancefloor groover 'Club Level', but after that the tempo seldom goes much beyond walking pace, making this an album that's probably best suited to post-club listening, with one slow jam after another bringing hints of R&B, smooth jazz and bittersweet Adult Oriented Pop, and with an 80s-sounding sax line never far away. It'll be too polite for some - the sweary 'B.D.F.Q' notwithstanding - but you just KNOW babies will be made to this...

Resense 046EXCLUSIVE
Review: Another brace of funk re-edits from Panama's Resense stable, this time coming courtesy of German duo Alex D and Fabio V, better known as Soulbrigada. 'Do Your Thing' reworks the 1971 Isaac Hayes cut of the same name (taken from the 'Shaft' soundtrack), while the accompanying 'Grab Dis Thing' digs back a little further in time and takes on The Mar-Keys' 'Grab This Thing' from 1965, a Stax deep funk jam that comes fully loaded with sizzling Hammonds, mucho sax parpery and just a handful of shouts, whoops n' hollers by way of a vocal. Either/both will do the damage on funk floors without a doubt.

Review: Stone cold classic from 1977. Zebra's self-released (and only) single has had an interesting trip in the last 15 years. First chanced upon by Ian Wright, then a hot target on the collector's merry-go-round, then a big hit for Jazzman and now, 10 years later, a potential smasher for Jazzman alumni Fryer and his consistently ace AOTN imprint. In case you don't know it, "Simple Song" is a slapping, frenzied funk groove while "I Forgot To Say" plays consummate counterpoint with a blissful honeyed ballad. It's worth jumping on this while you can...

Review: Shiva were a studio outfit headed up by Hollywood soundtrack legend Ira Newborn, whose entire output consisted of a 1983 aerobics album called '20 Minute Workout' for Ronco. But two of the album's tracks featured well-known singers - soul veteran Leon Ware, and former Dylan backing vocalist Jo Ann Harris - and they're now getting a much deserved single release courtesy of Isle Of Jura. 'What Does It Take' is a fine slice of 80s soul/boogie with Ware on vocals, but the killer here is Harris's sultry performance on 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. If you dig the 'Too Slow To Disco' series, you'll fiend for this!

Review: If we're counting correctly this is album number nine from Speedometer in a recording career that stretches back 20 years. As such, if you have any interest at all in 'new old' funk and soul sounds you should know pretty much what to expect, so it's the cuts where they flip the script that are most notable. There's a distinct African slant to the cinematic 'Edge Of Fear', but it's 'Kashmir', a sitar-infused jaunt into psychedelic pastures, that's the standout. Elsewhere the UK veterans run the gamut from soulful acid jazz anthem-in-waiting 'Let's Start A Movement' to the raunchy, wigged-out Hammond jam that is 'Mo' Crunch'.
