Lil' Bow Wow
Ghetto Girls / Puppy Love

This is a classic beat-tape style LP from one of the most under rated Hip Hop producers in the UK right now. Warm and woozy productions that stand out in a world saturated with bland Dilla and Madlib-esque pastiches. Heavily influenced by Bassa's Mauritian roots, the album takes you on a journey through aboriginal and pan African sounds, with heavy layers of percussion and samples from his fatherland.

While the previous opus already showed the tourangeau’s scale of virtuosity, this new Maxi “Take Off” enlightens his capability to showcase the other’s talent. Collaborating with Madelyn Grant, Jordan Rakei, or Damon Trueitt, FKJ succeeds in expressing his own music through the voices of accomplished artists.

Until the End of Time is the seventh studio album, and third posthumous release by rapper 2Pac. The album consists of material recorded while the rapper was on Death Row Records from 1995 to 1996. This marks the first time the record has been reissued, since the original release in 2001. The package is being released in a 4LP with standard black vinyl.

Spider's Web is a real tension builder with loopy chords and pumping drums working to a rapturous peak that locks the crowd in a groove and keeps them begging for more. No Distractions has heavy, hard hitting drums setting the mood only for a load of happy chords and cosmic keys to stretch out to the heavens and get the hi tech soul flowing. Last of all this red hot trio link with Culture Jam for a sweaty analogue drum work out with steamy vocal stabs and cantering kicks all piling on the pressure. This is throwback, high intense house music with warmth and soul to spare.

Chaos In The CBD return to In Dust We Trust with Brainstorm, a twelve inch with 4 new cuts delving deeper into their take on dub-influenced house. Kicking things off on the A1 is ‘Echolocation’, a track whose groove has you locked from the first bar, subtly building with warm stabs and rhythmic vocals to draw the dance floor in deeper.‘Liquid Experience’ fuses together dubby low end textures with light meditative melodies for a beautiful slice of ambient dub house.On the B side, the title track ‘Brainstorm’ - a collaboration with fellow Kiwi ‘Mongo Skato’, is an addictive 7 minute gem that takes you on an immersive journey. Fusing quintessential house hooks with jazz elements, resulting in something truly contemporary.‘Mind Massage’ closes out the EP with a hazy and comforting groove, creating the perfect tool to set the mood on discerning dance floors.
