Back in 2023, Parisian jazz-funk-meets-disco outfit Chatobaron partnered with 21st century disco icon Dimitri From Paris on the superb 'Chez Madame La Baronne'. At the time, the Idjut Boys were called in to remix it, but only one of their suite of takes was released. Hence this killer four-tracker on their own Bite The Day label. It's typical of the long-serving duo's wild, wonderful and frequently deliciously dubbed-out work. While the opening 'Le Fouet version' is a rolling, spacey, sun-splashed and only lightly dubby dancefloor excursion, the mix which follows - the 'Grosse Bite version' - is a wonderfully trippy, percussion-rich drum dub smothered in tape delay and space echo; in other words, a classic Idjuts interpretation. Over on the reverse, the 'Sac Plain' version is a proper Idjuts dub that flits between spacey drop-outs and extended groove sections, while the closing 'Sac Vide version' is a sunrise-ready ambient delight.

Billy Woods returns with Golliwog, his first album in two years, following 2023's Maps. While that record was a sharp, introspective travelogue, this one souses into a far darker pool, where fever dreams of horror, satire, and Afropessimism collide, and in whose underwater nooks phantoms lurk in the intertext, and undead figures, possessed dolls, and ghostly cars slip through time. Conveying this dark, weltering sonic backdrop are a crack fleet of producers: The Alchemist, EL-P, Kenny Segal, Conductor Williams, and Preservation. A disorienting, layered triumph, and an abandoned carnival of sound, flickering with life amid deviant-diasporic dances in the dark.

Portland-based trio KILN deliver an opulent display of hue and swing across 12 tracks that showcase their finely hewn concoction of visual tones and vital pulse. Drawing from over thirty years of collaboration, they distill immersive sprawl into compact, punchy, and colorful sound. Combining live performance, beatmaking, and waveform sculpting, the trio creates evocative dioramas that continue to surprise and enchant. Riding waves of hi-meets-lo-fi, their work forms a panchromatic daymark designed to biochemically align and stimulate your personal syntax, weaving a tapestry of sonic reveries from the aquarium-on-fire radiance of 'DrnkGrlfrnd', through the garden groove of field-recorded percussion on 'Maplefunk Diptych', to the sizzling guit-noise whiteout of 'Deacon Rayhand'. Expanding on long-explored themes of mosaic texture, subtle melancholy, eroded consonance, and vivid cadence, this release reveals yet another aperture into their unique magnetic universe.

Pete Burns was one of the most interesting artists to come out of the decade of the 80s and Youthquake was their most important release. Celebrating 40 years since release, this reissue repackages this album beautifully for a new generation of fans, opening with the track that made them a household name - 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)'. The band's second album was no one hit wonder though. The exuberant 'Lover Come Back to Me' and post-disco tinged 'In Too Deep' were also UK top 20 tracks while also getting major club play all across the world, and you can relive their rocket fuelled mix of high energy disco and synth pop all over again.

Following a string of standout singles and a full-length album last year, seasoned Tokyo salsa collective Central waste no time with a killer new 7" release, a finisher for the floor. The A1 delivers a fresh Latin take on Earth, Wind & Fire's evergreen floor fave 'Brazilian Rhyme', optically shifted through vibrant, horn-driven movements and bolder basslines, shimmering electric pianisms, and brumming brass, concocting an patented sound all their own. On the flip, DJ Kawasaki steps in to reimagine the band's much sought-after 2023 single 'Samurai', already a global wantlist staple, transforming it into a hotter club-salsa charmer.

Like all good 7"s, this is a compact yet powerful release by Glitterin who serves up a summer-ready house cut built for the dance floor. It gets you locked from the off with punchy kick drums leading into ricocheting rhythms which drive headfirst into late-night party vibes thanks to fine production from Jason Core. It also features Sandry Sanz's passionate vocals telling a story of unrequited love, layered with sharp synth stabs and crashing cymbals. Tony David's emotive guitar solo adds boldness to the mix, while the B-side dub version strips it down to highlight Core's analogue wizardry and many deft synth layers, shifting keys and intricate percussion.

Trent. No, not Ron, and not the former Liverpool baller, but Berlin-based Italian Trent. This return to wax takes the form of four retro-inspired and chugging cosmic workouts that blend house and disco into rugged worlds of texture and tension. He is a favourite at the cult Cocktail d'Amore and brings signature classic to this EP which is sweaty and sleazy while landing heavy, often with potent nostalgia, vocal euphoria and funked-out basslines. 'Cin Cin' is sheer class with its relentless Italo-mania, 'Shiva Boom' brings tribal acid hypnosis and 'Down to Oz' ends in a hazy cosmic trip with psychedelic leads.

Aaron Coyes is a busy man who is associated with some cult projects including Peaking Lights, Leisure Connection and NTS shows. Here he steps out solo with a dub-focused project steeped in psychedelic textures and drawing on his typical genre-blurring sensibilities. Exotic Gardens delivers eight immersive tracks that blend deep bass and swirling effects and were originally released on Pinchy & Friends. This limited edition repress allows you to once again explore Coyes' mastery of spacious, mind-expanding soundscapes that draw from his deep roots in dub and experimental electronics. Some unfurl with the radiance of a new dawn, some are more liquid and reverb-drenched affairs, and others are cosmic mind melters.
