Review: Alongside the widespread success of Sault, we've been able to bear witness to the continued rise of core member Cleo Sol as a standout voice in the vanguard of UK soul. Following her two previous albums Mother and Rose In The Dark, Sol stretches out once again with an arresting collection of neo soul, folk and more. Everything is cast in warm, rich tones, from the acoustic lilt of 'Airplane' to the dusky bump of 'Go Baby', but it's the strength of Sol's vocal presence which binds everything together so perfectly. Truly capturing the best of modern soul with wholly justified comparisons to Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and D'Angelo alike, this stunning album has future classic written all over it.

Review: Electric Soul Records get themselves going with a bang with 'Heaven', the result of the ensouled unity of Teddy Pendergrass and Paul Ross And The Funk Selective. With the former remixing a whopping eight of the latter's original soul works, this red-hot record is in turn a downy flutterer on 12" wax, made up of several soulful house cutups and edits. Replete with shakers, cabasas and pipey lead guitars set against funky overtones, this isn't an LP to be missed by any means.

Review: Current darlings of the deep house Wolf Music continue on with what they do best on these three reliable dancefloor fillers courtesy of Bristol's Thrilogy. First up "Heaven" and its uplifting piano roll complete with jazz vocals and a pumping swing fuelled beat does the business quite well. Next we've got "Hold Me In Your Arms" which takes things deeper, with sultry female backing vocals and rolling bassline.. But the uplifting piano roll remains; don't worry! Lastly the K 98 remix of "heaven" injects some serious stomp and tempo into the track that tears through the speakers with its hard house intensity.

Review: Here's something to raise a smile: remixes of a pair of Kerri Chandler cuts from Bristol-based, Futureboogie and Applepips-affiliated twosome Behling & Simpson. First up, they tackle "Heaven", turning the 2011 original into a rolling chunk of piano-laden soulful house. It has a real classic feel - more so than their usual fare, at least - and makes great use of Christopher McCray's delicious vocal. Flip for the veteran production partnership's interpretation of "Peace of Mind" (first released on the Ozone EP), which adds a few winding synths and a little contemporary deep house bounce to Chandler's typically warm and luscious original. Like the A-side, it has a classic house feel, but just does enough to appease the needs of modern dancefloors.

Review: Legendary UK band Depeche Mode signal their return with Heaven, a 12" prelude to their 13th studio album Delta Machine which arrives brandishing four remixes that reflect their highly respected profile. Any record that features Blawan and Matthew Dear on remix duties is big news and both artists excel here; the former indulging his thick set claustrophobic wall rattling tendencies on a Dub version that submerges Dave Gahan's sad refrain deep in the murk. Matthew Dear offers another sly nod to his split musical personalities with one of his trademark "Vs Audion" efforts whilst The Orb's Thomas Fehlman introduces a new alias in Steps To Heaven. Look out for the charmingly dramatic revision from French newcomer Owlle too!

Review: Dub innovator, celebrated smoker of the herb and much-loved nutter Lee Scratch Perry has been gone a while now but his musical legacy will never fade. Partly, of course, because he made so damn much of it during a prolific career, most of it at his own iconic Black Arc studios. Not so much of it was solo work but Heaven is, and is also the final album he wrote before passing in late 2021. His contribution to Jamaican music knows no bounds and took the form of him being producer, arranger, writer and artist. His unique take on the island's signature sound is present and correct here.

Review: Listen up and pay attention all serious soul heads - Cleo Sol is back with an album which confirms her position at the forefront of UK soul. Sol has a career which reaches back to the late 00s guesting for the likes of Tinie Tempah, but it's within the wider Sault orbit she's forged a renewed presence in recent years. Locked into a productive run of albums which kicked off with Rose In The Dark back in 2020, her latest long player might just be her best as she gracefully glides from piano ballads to pastoral funk, low-slung neo soul bump and beyond. Everything is bound together by her flawless voice and a persistently warm, mellow production, making this sound like a future classic in waiting.

Review: The latest release on John 'Quivver' Graham's Boz Boz imprint sees North Carolinian producer Kinesthetic grace the plastic. The original is a solid prog workout with a dubby driving rhythm and hypnotic spoken vocal - one for the darker floors. The flip side sees Keith McDonnell aka 'Innate' on remix honours, this time on the trancier side of progressive with dirtier pumping beats, cool chords and effected licks and a rather large and tasty top line added. Watch the drop! already gaining rotation from the likes of Dave Seaman, John Digweed and Paul Van Dyk.
