Cosmic disco, drum workouts, saxophone serenades, FAT basslines... this astral ode to Naples via outerspace from Pellegrino and his live band Zodyaco is a must-own from Early Sounds Recordings. Oodles of melodic fun to have here. Big DJ weapon for those that need it! Huge tip!!

Ace release of relaxed and loosely arranged feedback soundscapes from the Austrian synth savant. Having toured in the live band for FlyLo and The Cinematic Orchestra he's no stranger to leftfield live jams, and his latest all-live recordings further dig into his brand of playful electronica. Tip!

As far as collaborative delights go, this really takes the cake. Miami boogie wildcard Noel Williams (aka King Sporty) throws it down heavy with legendary Jamaican reggae axe man Ernest Ranglin - as you might expect, the results are incendiary. Cosmic chants, stirring brass stabs, laid-back Reggae skank, vintage disco and of course Ranglin's sweet gee-tar licks. Throughout this wonderful mini-LP, the duo switch between each other's strengths and bring out the best in each other, as all good collaborations should. Wicked stuff from the always-reliable Emotional Rescue!

The late Manuel Göttsching’s monumental 1981 album ‘E2-E4’ is a seminal and pioneering early electronic work, arguably one of the most important ever released in the genre. Reissued on Göttsching’s own label this is essential listening for anyone who’s even remotely interested in electronic music!

CRAZY in-demand 2nd release of funky, free-flowing live jams by Mad Honey, recorded live to tape. Imagine your favourite 70s/80s soul/funk artists got in a room together - think Leroy Burgess's production with a Brit-Funk tip. So in demand, they got straight in the studio to start on an album. Hot!
