New Guitar New Mars (6:51)
Guitar Smash (7:07)
Death Of Hercules (6:27)
Review: Matt Lord (previously of Bugz In The Attic, Invaderz, Ladyfuzz and many more barbed soul outfits) gets busy with his debut 12" for Dego's supreme 2000 Black. A fuzzy future funk document, "New Guitar New Mars" is a broken beat serenade where crazed guitar twangs do all the crooning over a super-insistent swing. "Guitar Smash" is more of a chilled affair. Reminiscent of an Amp Fiddler instrumental, it's complete with swooning chords and a relentless (but soft) guitar twang that weaves in and out of the textures. Finally we hit the dancefloor with "Death Of Hercules", a straight up dubby disco bomb that's riddled with tight slap bass and yet more glossy guitar twangs.

Music Is The Healing Force Of The Universe (feat Earl Zinger & Valerie Etienne) (10:48)
Review: Afro space jazz collective let fly with an organic, cosmic jazz salute to the one and only Steve Reid. From the moment the dreamy spirals of "Om Supreme" light the candle, you instantly know this is a special piece of work. Highlights abound on every track but moments such as the harmonic vocals breaking through the fusion on "Hum Allah", the hypnotic over-laying percussive textures of the Kieran Hebden collaboration "Makondi" and the heaving horn royal rumble on "As Of Yet" really need special attention. Spell-binding.

Yermande (Prophet 5 rhythm) (6:08)
Review: Hardwax don Mark Ernestus harvests the first fruits of his collaborative seeds sewn in Senegal with a clan of sabar drummers with the superbly titled Ndagga Rhythm Force project. The results on the first mix of "Yermande" are as deeply rhythmic and percussive as you'd imagine, as drums take centre stage and the dubby vocals lie waiting in the sonic ether. Truly meditative stuff from the Ndagga Rhythm Force. Remix-wise the instrumental gives the drums an even more prominent position while the Prophet 5 versions add dense, tightly plucked guitar and clipped synth textures to the lead melody.

Wun Two - "Oir"
Wun Two - "Owl Eyes"
FloFilz - "Ray"
FloFilz - "Abhoerverfahren"
Hubert Daviz - "Owl Patrol"
Hubert Daviz - "Da Brick"
Review: After a couple of quality 12"s by Moomin and one tape release, Closer throws the net wide open to invite in a host of contemporary house heads to deliver outside of their usual remit with great results. Mr Tophat and Art Alfie spread themselves over the A side with the wildly processed and loosely stitched freak-out sample fest of "Vacation Bye Bye", which piles the drama on high with use of dusty old rips and riffs while keeping everything very distant indeed. On the flip Wun Two, FloFilz and Hubert Daviz have dropped a whole host of winsome beats enriched with soulful licks from old records (or at least it sounds that way), taping more into the Brainfeeder mood than anything, and it all fits together perfectly. If you dig the crossover styles of the Box Aus Holz crew then get on this.

Standard Jazz
Wenzenwoznow
Review: Tim Love Lee's Peace Feast Industries label seems to be enjoying something of a creative rebirth of late; active since 1994, it was lifted out of decade long dormancy last year with that Sotofett collaboration the obvious highlight. Early presses of Standard Jazz saw the light of day very late in 2014, and now it's been granted an official release and both cuts offer a reminder of the Love man's rich versatility and magical sense of musicianship. "Standard Jazz" is a stark exercise in euphoria; soaring synths, tightly weaved percussion and meandering counter leads flickering in an out of the narrative over nearly 12 minutes. "Wenzenwoznow", meanwhile, is a dense slice of loopy ambient music that's so strong, shimmery and positive it's almost festive.

Hot 7 Brass Band - "Bingo Bango" (5:12)
Review: Tru Thoughts' Shapes series enters its tenth year with another wide-armed creative assault. Unifying the label's many members, tying the tethers between seemingly disparate genres, label founder Luis makes sense of the many amazing records they've signed in recent times. Flexing from icy, whimsical jungle (Jonny Faith's "Zheng") to warm, bubbly dub version science (Prince Fatty and Nostalgia 77's "Medicine Chest") via squidgy synth boogie (J Felix's "101 Reasons") and the classic, gutsy soul of Alice Russell, it's yet another eclectic experience that focuses on the very best of modern, rooted music. Tru say.

Review: Taking off from the same bewildering, trippy, reflective spot he left us on "As We Move", Reggie cooks up two new burners. A dreamy but satirical shot at materialism, complete with lush jazzy verses and a nagging chorus, it's complemented by a Recloose-style percussive house mix (Jeen Bassa) and a late night Soulection-style beats twist (Al Dobson Jr). "Sunshine", meanwhile, is a left-minded wonky, stuttering, finger-clicking haze of hopeful modern funk. Here Jeen brings focus through the fog with an Amp Fiddler style strutter while Al Dobson Jr gets his Bob James on. All cinematic and dramatic with the right twist of jazz.

Review: Last year's self titled debut album from Mo Kolours was one of those records we could leave playing on the Juno office stereo all day without tiring; it really proved Joseph Deenmamode to be a quite unique and beguiling talent. We are pleased as punch to the South London artist return with some new material in the shape of How I (Rhythm Love Affair), a seven track 12" for regular home One Handed Music that is on first listen just as enticing on the senses. As ever, there is a kaleidoscope of musical influences at play throughout and Mo's genius is the way in which these are fused to sound so appealing. The twinkling beatdown of "On My Way" is a standout whilst the more creatively minded out there will appreciate the vinyl only two bonus beats that close out the 12".
