KDJ a.k.a Moodyman's 3rd album on Peacefrog, originally released in 2003. A kaleidoscope of off-the-wall analogue beats, haunting strings, Kenny's trademark soul and buzzing jazz. Another effortless series of lane switching from one of the dons of Detroit, KDJ. 2022 clear vinyl repress, damn!

Another fantastic Isle of Jura official reissue, straight from the DAT tapes! This time, an off-the-wall Dub album from 1995. While rooted in Dub, the various artists Italian, Armenian and Russian heritage influenced this record with Tango and Bossa Nova through the Dub and Reggae styles. Wicked.

The dominant 80s & 90s UK genre 'Street Soul' is having a real moment of late, and Heels & Souls continue to contribute with this standalone album from Secret Touch. 29 years on, this largely forgotten album is as warm as ever, full of lo-fi charm, unashamedly positive messages and a nice mix of low-slung grooves and upbeat shufflers. TIP!

1998 debut album from KDJ a.k.a Moodyman, still one of Detroit's most revered House releases to date. Like his renowned DJ sets, KDJ infuses funk, gospel, soul and hip-hop into the heart of the Detroit house sound that will be worshipped and emulated into eternity... It's Black American music for the feet and for the heart, beautifully remastered on two clear vinyls. Necessary!

Claremont 56 have commissioned two very special versions of the modern-day Balearic hymn "The Visitor". Ray Mang reminds us of the true meaning of dub as we're immersed in a truly enveloping dynamic where flickers of the original's vocals fly in and out of the mix. Idjut Boys follow a similar sentiment but instead of teasing us with the vocal shades, they extend, break down and rebuild the instrumentation in a way only they know how. Super-limited white 10". HOT!
