Review: A pair of US block party icons unite here, as Brooklyn house and disco maestro DJ Spinna and LA turntable wizard J Rocc share this tidy little Prince tribute. First to bat is Spinna, a man responsible for countless soul- and funk-heavy club jams since emerging in the late 90s. He takes on The Purple One's 1987 cut, 'Starfish and Coffee', with a less-is-more edit approach, subtly reframing the cut into a head-nodding groover. On the flip, Beat Junkies founder J Rocc serves his rework of the gorgeously abstract 'Purple Music', with sleazy vocals riding a freeform funk track over a lively tempo. You can't go wrong with Prince, and he's in safe hands with this pair of seasoned party rockers at the controls.

Review: Dusty Donuts return with another heavyweight 7" of hip-hop gold, this time journeying from Queensbridge to Staten Island. Side A delivers a bouncy, chopped-up rework featuring a Lost Girl once heard on a legendary QB mixtape and it is guaranteed to ignite any dancefloor. Flipping over, the vibe shifts to Shaolin with a raw and soulful reinterpretation of a classic that pays tasteful homage to Staten Island's finest. With tight edits and a deep love for golden-era hip-hop, this release hits hard on both sides and is another great example of the craftsmanship, nostalgia and party-starting energy the Dusty Donuts crew always deals in.
