Review: Neapolitan funk maestro Mystic Jungle returns with a new LP less than a year after the dreamy Words of Love with more astrally-charged electro/boogie/disco type wonderment. Dario di Pace's third full-length has been quietly brewing for years, shaped by studio shutdowns and shifts in location i and that patchwork journey adds a certain character to the gorgeously technicolour music on show. It's perhaps his most eclectic and free-flowing release yet: a bright, hazy blend of styles that feels both loose and deeply considered. On the dancefloor end, tracks like 'Secrets' and 'Some Lovin'' burst with disco grooves, searing guitars, call-and-response vocals and sultry sax lines. Elsewhere, 'Innervision' and 'Twilight' lean into lovers rock and wavy neon-dub pop, full of yearning, shimmer and otherworldly flourishes. Then there's the stoner sway of 'The Road' and 'Get Me Higher' i sun-soaked, psychedelic jams with zoned-out soul at their core. A richly immersive Amalfi joyride from start to finish, the Periodica fire just keeps on burning.

Review: This early 80s dancehall classic from Sister Nancy is an essential Record Store Day release for any serious reggae-head. One Two features the legendary anthem 'Bam Bam', which is still widely regarded as the most sampled reggae track ever, and features Nancy laying out her credentials as a female MC in a still very male-dominated world. Elsewhere, the killer tunes come thick and fast. It was originally only released in Jamaica, and this marks the first-ever UK pressing of the much sought-after album, for which Nancy only started getting royalties more than three decades after it was produced by Winston Riley and mixed by Soldgie at Channel One.
