A Jackin' Phreak
Acid Vs. Disco E.P.

The always reliable Rhythm Section is back with this mini album from Saul, a duo comprised of Jack Stephenson-Oliver (keys player with Vels Trio) and producer Barney Whittaker AKA Footshooter. Both of those projects have killer releases on the label already, so it's no surprise that together they have created some magic. 'Mutualism' is a gorgeously warm, dreamy and tactile affair that effortlessly joins the dots between classy dancefloor dynamics, laidback electronics, freewheeling jazz musicianship, soulful vocal flavours and all that broken-beat goodness to expect from South London.

"A Communication through beats" - Beautiful beat tape to celebrate the life of the incomparable Ras G from friend and fellow producer Kutmah. He would be proud! One for the Ras heads, well worth the pickup.

Iconic Italo dance label Best Record pulls out some peak disco across two sensual floor-fillers. Italian musician Giampiero Scalamonga was a popular disco hitmaker through the 70s, but his 1979 'Body To Body' LP was his crown jewel. The A-side is hot boogie full of synth, funky bass and Nile Rogers-esque guitar, and on the flip, 'African Love Song' (a Studio 54 staple) is a huge club burner, full of strings, horns and lustful crooning. Heat!

'More Energy Fields, Current' is another high point in the recorded continuum of prolific producer/percussionist Carlos Niño. Featuring heavy contributions from many of the most exciting ambient and jazz instrumentalists in the creative constellation of Los Angeles (of which Niño’s has been central for over 2 decades), the album holds 10 crystaline pieces of collaborative communication; elegantly presented in his unique “Spiritual, Improvisational, Space Collage” style. Nińo makes albums that need to be absorbed in one sitting (or preferably lying down), as each piece carries you through one portal to the next, before safely being set back down where it all began. YES.
