Micky More & Andy Tee's Groove Culture delivers a fresh spin on jazz-funk classics with a new 7-inch release. The Side-1 features a dj-friendly cover of Lonnie Liston Smith's 'Expansions,' blending disco and house with a funk-driven bassline, soulful vocals, and beautiful keys. On Side-2, it offers a high-energy remake of Light Of The World's 'Time,' featuring Angela Johnson's powerful diva vocals. This track shines with its lively disco vibe, sax intro and dancefloor appeal. Both tracks encapsulate the essence of fun disco and soul and should appeal to a wide range of dance music fans old and young.

Despite his years of dedication to the Balearic scene - not to mention a string of fine albums under the Cantoma alias - Phil Mison doesn't get nearly enough recognition for his achievements. Perhaps his latest album, the undeniably gorgeous See The Sun, will finally provide him with a wider breakthrough. Whether it does or not, it's a genuinely wonderful album that sees Mison wrap his usual uber-Balearic instrumentation - samba-soaked acoustic guitar chords, Flamenco style classic guitar solos, kaleidoscopic synth sounds, sweet male and female vocals, lilting French horn motifs and so on - around grooves that range from slow motion shufflers, and Latin tinged headiness, to organic house rhythms and luscious nu-disco beats. All of Mison's Cantoma albums are excellent but See The Sun really could be his best to date.

FLASHX 26 delivers a potent collection of techno tracks, featuring five different artists on Flash records, out of Germany. Side-1 opens with Mython's 'The First Of The Old,' a track that combines airy, expansive techno with heavy, dominating dub chords, creating a sound that feels both vast and powerful. Jonas Xenon's '2019' follows, unleashing a punishing, sci-fi inspired piece of machine music that hits hard with its relentless energy. On Side-2, Karenz's 'Ground,' is a strong, energetic builder that drives forward with unwavering intensity. Morgenstern's 'Orinoco Opiate' adds a deeper, tribal groove, pulling listeners into its rhythmic embrace. Closing the record is Idu Berg's 'Spool B,' a track that ventures into alien territory, adding an intriguing and otherworldly edge to the compilation. Pressed on a striking limited splattered vinyl 12", FLASHX 26 is a showcase of diverse, high-quality techno, each track bringing its own unique flavor to this compelling release.

Longtime synthpop, future dance and "washed-out" musician and DJ Teen Daze (Jamison Isaak) presents Elegant Rhythms, his latest and most personal album to date. After several years of exploring music made for a dancefloor, Elegant Rhythms is more indebted to the singer songwriters of the 70s, the sophisti-pop sounds of the 80s and the vaporwave sounds of the 10s. Negating the showoff approach - of artists gloating of how little time it took to make a song or record - Isaak does the opposite, drawing attention to the album's four-year making, and its production in parallel to other releases that do not share its scale and sense of personhood. An album developed with the express purpose of expressing personal development - facing trauma, growing older, holding true to questions of purpose - something resolute wafts from its autotuned falsettos and prismoid reflections of R&B, soul and electronische musik, the mercurial highlights of which have to be 'We're Out Of Phase Again' and 'HST Underwater'.

Last month, long-serving French deep house hero Franck Roger dipped into the bulging back catalogue of the Real Tone imprint he co-founded in 2005 and came back with a quartet of his favourite productions. Here he presents a swift sequel showcasing four more tried-and-tested deep dancefloor workouts. Roger begins by highlighting the accurately titled 'Deeper', a gorgeously tactile and loved-up slab of early morning hypnotism, before offering up the killer combination of jazzy synth riffs, spine-tingling breakdowns and tactile deep house grooves that is 'Your My Wing' [sic]. Over on side B, 'I'm Waiting' is percussively dense but heady, dreamy and intoxicating, while 'Whispers' combines the soulfulness of New Jersey garage with the thickset, floor-focused deep house headiness that has always been a hallmark of Roger's spellbinding productions.

Wehbba and Drumcode are a great match for one another given the big room potency of the techno they both like to deal in. This new two track kicks off with 'Awaken', a urgent, hard techno slammer with flat-footed and unrelenting drums, bright as you like trance synths that light up the floor and pervasive energy that cannot fail to electrify. 'Revelation' then gets more raw with frazzled, tightly woven loops, rising synth tension and monstrous drums designed to get vast strobe-lit dance floors locked in and losing their minds.

Aussie label Pronto looks across the world to the centre of deep house and Chicago for this new EP from mainstays Boo Williams and James Curd. Those heavily accomplished names both take one side each of this new 12" and Boo Williams is first with the hazy, soul-drenched, blissed-out melodies and shuffling drums of 'Remember The Music' (dub) then offers another bright, synth laced and meditative sound with 'Time Searching'. James Curd brings some jazzy motifs and classically included deep house smoothness on 'The Perceived Theory' then swings low with the leggy, lazy, inviting 'Grey Matters'.

There has been a lot of chatter in recent times about the growing strength of Mexico's electronic music underground. One of the first Mexican producers to break through, almost a decade ago, was Guillermo Gonzalez Santana AKA Hotmood. He continues to deliver high-grade dancefloor gear, as this Sounds of Style label debut proves. It boasts two original productions: 'Baby Come Down', a squelchy and sample-rich slab of detailed disco/house fusion, and the funkier, chunkier and more excitable disco-house bump of 'Disco Lady'. The latter is given a more loose-limbed, US garage-influenced filter house makeover by Natural Rhythm, while the mighty DJ Sneak turns 'Baby Come Down' into a loopy, bumpin' chunk of disco-fired peak-time deepness in his now trademark style.
