When ‘Prender el Alma’ was released in 2015, a global audience was introduced to this new strain of Latin American music Nicola Cruz calls ‘Andes Step’. Influenced by digital technology and blended with local culture and instrumentation, Cruz built his tracks layer by layer, instrument by instrument, drum by drum, exploring local indigenous and Afro-cosmologies in a modern setting. To this day, Cruz leads forward-thinking producers and musicians in Ecuador in their own digital folklore revolution. Using homeland traditions and rhythms to build on a vibrant history of visual and sonic art, this record is still an essential release that I cannot recommend any higher!

Another terrific release from Gut's live band on Heavenly Sweetness, this time leaning into Afro and Brazilian jazz-funk. Totally joyous and carefree rhythm, this is made for the beach or a sunny dance floor. Worth the pickup alone for the jazz flute and drum breaks on 'Daddy Sweet'... Ooofff!
Hidden away on a pop album inspired by The Police, lies ‘Licik’, a deep vocoder funk workout lasting over nine minutes. It’s the first recorded Indonesian song to use the vocoder in such a way. On the flip, a re-contextualisation of the original by Jakarta-born Dea Barandana. TIP!
The second round of Man Jumping remixes on Emotional Rescue sees another strike force of big hitters tackling the illustrious material from an overlooked 80s curio. Bullion steps up first with a typically dynamic, many-sided version of "In The Jungle". Reckonwrong's take on "Sqeezi" channels his twee, off-kilter pop tendencies in brilliant fashion. Gengahr brings a touch of indie urgency to "Down The Locale", while Bullion returns for another fantastic remix on "Walk On, Bye". To close, William Doyle's angular guitar processing and surging, vibrant peaks bring a thrilling new slant to "Belle Dux On The Beach".
