Review: Altered Moods strides into its 11th year of active service with a delectable platter of sumptuous house music presented by Jesus Gonsev. The Spanish producer has previously been spotted on deepArtSounds, Music With Content and his own Troubled Kids label. "Fuerza" is a billowing, dreamy trip loaded with heavy pads and submerged acid, leading into the gritty but soulful crunch of "Old Times." "Gargantua" is a loose-knit creation that celebrates skittering drums pinging around the anchor of the kick while wistful keys smooth the whole jam out. Life Energy taps into this feeling and runs with it on a remix of "Gargantua" that creates a more pumping backbone while amping up the romantic wooze of the melodic content too.

Review: Few labels were quite as badly hit by the infamous PIAS warehouse fire as Finders Keepers, the oddball imprint dedicated to unearthing and reissuing classic "B-music" - alternative pop oddities from the fringes of the global musical underground. In a bid to raise funds to replenish stock, they've asked friends and fellow B-music freaks to compile their own limited edition, mid-priced CDs from the label catalogue. Perennial digger David Holmes is the latest musician to answer their cause, putting together a delightful selection of previously forgotten vinyl-only oddities. Holmes typically digs deep, unearthing a kaleidoscopic collection of kitsch Indian grooves, psyche-rock, Hammond grooves, Horror-core, skewed jazz and acid-flecked soft focus pop.
