DJAR ONE feat VENOMOUS2000
It's The Funk (lilac marbled vinyl 7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: BS 035LILAC. Rel: 06 Apr 23
Review: Modern hip-hop production titan Djar One returns with a fresh 7", 'It's The Funk', with fellow stalwarts Venomous2000 and DJ Tron both coming through for neat verses and flippages respectively. While Djar's A-side is nicely gritty, getting at that West Coast, gangster-funk-whistly, top-dropped steeze with ease, DJ Tron's version provides a completely alternate jazzhop take, stripping back the track to its bare bones and preferring to let the mood flow rather than stomp.

Review: Volume 6 of the SCM Flip Sessions is from the one and only J Rocc. It has been put together as a celebration of the end of the tenure of former President Trump, or "the most trash president in the history of the United States," as the label puts it. Across just two tunes, SCM brings you 14 flips of possibly the most sampled song in hip hop. They are Althea out together by the inimitable J Rocc with the hope being that this is a document of protest that will stand the test of time. One pressing only, 500 copies in all, do not sleep.

Review: Cold Busted ventures into downtempo and Balearic territory here with Vanilla offering up a limited but 7" full of hazy and lo-fi beat sketches that make you ache for a sun lounger and a warm day. The gentle beats of 'Pointbreak' are offset by wonky and detuned chords that bring a sense of irreverence and 'Surfin' Summer' then casts you adrift on nice lazy sax motifs. 'Remember' keeps the grooves slow and low and 'Breeze' shuts down with another cathartic and open-skied sonic excursion. A perfect accompaniment to some mental escapism, then.

Review: Fans of UK street soul from the mid-80s you need this one in your life as Heels & Souls Recordings returns with its eighth reissue and unveils some treasures by Elaine Vassell and 3rd Zone. In 1993, amidst the rise of house music, UK soul thrived, accompanied by its DIY street soul sibling as perfectly exemplified here by 'Never Give Up' which boasts a raw, breakbeat-driven groove, blending soulful house, hip-hop, and r&b, while 3rd Zone's 'You Stole My Heart' from 1991, later featured on their 1993 EP No Real Reason, offers a tender yet tough underground vibe. Both tracks showcase the era's spirit, proving that creativity trumps big budgets. Each side includes an alternate version for added depth and diversity.

Review: Adesha and Vincent Kwok present their latest album, replete with exclusive album tracks as well as special edits and new mixes of previously released tracks, the album takes you through the various musical styles that the pair have worked on together over the years. With a broad range of styles from champagne boogie to disco to mellow 808-based r&b, 'Feeling You' shows off the eclectic talents of Adesha's lyrical and Vincent's productive range. Highlights include the sparsely populated uptempo jaunts such as 'Life's Too Short' and the slower, phatter G-funkers like 'Retribution'.

Review: Renowned turntable technician and beat maker DJ Yoda's with album spaced with standout singles. It is a record couched in retro Americana with plenty of high profile guests including the likes of Beardyman, Choosey, The House Gospel Choir, Jamie Cullum & DJ Woody and O Love. These tracks show how far Yoda has come from a crowd pleasing DJ used to cutting up and scratching a dizzying array of sounds to a cultured producer who can craft plenty of great grooves as well as moving emotions. Much of it is made from live instrumentation with a healthy dose of nostalgia next to inventive new styles.

Just A Touch: Underground UK Soul Compiled By Sam Don (gatefold 2xLP)
Cat: AOTNLP 063. Rel: 12 Oct 23
Review: After his hugely well received lovers' rock compilations for this label, Sam Don digs deep into the rich world of UK sweet soul on this - typically - excellent new compilation from the wondrous ashes of the North. He comes up with plenty of mega hard to find and expensive musical treasures that have all been painstakingly researched and tracked down. It was a short lived but fertile scene in the underground back in the 90s and if you didn't; know that already you will after one listen through of this - the sounds are highly danceable with silky, low-lit melodies and steamy and seductive vocals for loved up late night dancing.

Review: Having previously shone a light on lovers rock via two volumes of his For The Love of You compilations, dusty-fingered selector Sam Don has turned his attention to 'underground UK soul'. In practice, that largely means - though not uniformly - street soul of the late 80s and 90s. It's a simple idea, executed brilliantly, with Don working tirelessly to get the blessing of all the artists involved. Sweet, synth-heavy and lusciously loved up, the 12 tracks on show are undeniably excellent, with the many highlights including the piano-sporting, breakbeat-driven dancefloor pleasure of Kofi's 'Step By Step', the sax-sporting shuffle of Jenny B's 'Sexy Eyes (Club Mix)', the bubbly 80s soul cheeriness of Cavalier's 'Don't Touch' and the bustling post-boogie brilliance of 'Passion' by Taffy.

EMINEM / VARIOUS
8 Mile (Soundtrack) (Expanded 20th Anniversary Edition) (gatefold 4xLP)
Cat: 482882 4. Rel: 13 Apr 23
Review: Finding out that 8 Mile is two decades old is astounding. Take it in, breathe, then decide what to do with that information. Rewind back to 2003, and life was very, very different - not least as Eminem was still considered a young upstart who needed to prove some stuff to the hip hop establishment, with the movie in question going some way to retelling his own story about going up against haters and coming out on top.
Of course, he was already one of the biggest rap artists on the planet by this point, but still fell in line for criticism over the juvenile nature of many tracks. Amalgamating some of the most respected MCs on one track list - all of who evidently give a seal of approval by contributing to this soundtrack - is certainly one way to prove legitimacy. Nas, 50 Cent, Rakim, Gang Starr, and Jay-Z help make this one of the genre's finest scores of all time.

Lefto Early Bird presents The Beauty Is Inside (unmixed CD)
Cat: BBE 648CCD. Rel: 01 Sep 22
Review: In truth, not all DJs are genuine "tastemakers", but Lefto most certainly is. Like the similarly minded - if far older and more experienced - Gilles Peterson, Lefto gets as much pleasure from introducing people to new and obscure music, as he does from rocking clubs. It's for that reason The Beauty Is Inside, a terrific, lightly blended mix of eclectic, far-sighted sounds hand-picked by the Belgian, is such essential listening. It naturally contains some slept-on tackle from the past - see the cuts by Ethiopian singer Alemayeu Eshete and South African artist Patience Africa - but even more killer contemporary fare, with highlights including the contributions of Qur'an Shaheed, Elisa Bee, fellow Belgians abrahamblue and contemporary jazz hero Makaya McCraven.

Late Night Tales (limited 180 gram vinyl LP + insert + WAV/MP3 download code)
Cat: ALNLP 29. Rel: 30 Aug 12
Review: Joe Mount of lovable scuzz pop outfit Metronomy mans the latest volume in the long running Late Night Tales, a series who always seem to get the best results out of an unexpected cast of participants (Belle & Sebastien, MGMT, Trentemoeller and Midlake being recent inductees). It's hard not to get sucked in from the sugar sweet opening of Outkast's "Prototype", which is the first of several tracks that demonstrates Mount has a penchant for slow bumping R&B and outsider hip-hop with Tweet, Sa Ra and a Dr Octagon classic also appearing. A typically far reaching approach to genres applies here with the cosmic jazz of Chic Corea happily mingling with Autechre and Two Lone Swordsmen, and American synth oddities Geneva Jacuzzi and Appaloosa mingling for attention with The Alan Parsons Project and Herman Dune. The de-rigueur cover version arrives with a Metronomy rendition of Jean-Michel Jarre's "Hypnose" while Paul Morley ends the selection with a spoken word piece. This vinyl edition has 18 of the tracks spread separately across two plates as well as the mixed CD and a booklet!

Review: Pat Van Dyke - presumably no relation of trance overlord Paul or owner of the most terrible English accent in the history of cinema, Dick - builds on 2018's Hello, Summer LP with a new album full of funk, bounce and rich harmonies. Falls To Pieces is part hip hop, part jazz, part fusion album with gentle keys washing over the dusty drum breaks as rock-solid bass lines underpin the lovely rhythmic guitar work. Here, more than ever before, Van Dyke shows himself to be a maturing composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has developed his sound without losing his signature.

Whether you do or don't, this new Daisy Age compilation by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley is a timely release that shines a light on that small but golden era back in the late 80s. Key protagonists like Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest, as well as De La Soul, whose "3 Feet High and Rising" album was at the centre of this micro-movement, all feature alongside Pop and R&B with a similarly positive outlook. Essential.

The album, in its ingenuity, was produced to help fund the Nigerian Bird Atlas Project (NIBAP), a public initiative to encourage young Nigerians get into bird conservation, watching and atlasing. Standouts include Lamine Cissokho's kora imitate the 'Yellow-casqued hornbill', and the lilting call of the 'Nimba flycatcher' included in a warming voice-and-guitar bossa nova piece by Ruth Tafebe.

Review: Spring Records is one of those labels that played a key part in the early formation of hip-hop but doesn't seem to get spoken about too much. It was in 1979 that the label first dropped a hip-hop and rap-style record by The Fatback Band. The next decades saw them drop plenty more tunes but without major success in the mainstream. Now though looking back those tuners tell a story which is what is captured here on Dollar Bill Y'all: Spring Records And The First Decade Of Hip Hop. It's a great look at the now titanic genre's first ten years and features some landmarks by King Tim III, Jimmy Spicer, DJ Hollywood and Ice T amongst others.

It's a genuinely eye-opening affair that boasts a mixture of little-known debut singles from now legendary acts (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Funky Four Plus One More), inspired obscurities (see 'Get Live '83', a rare recording by a Chicagoan high school band), bona-fide dancefloor gems (Mike T, Sangria, the electrofunk-rap of Silver Star), and deliciously deep cuts. Throw in Soul Jazz's usual exhaustive, expansive liner notes, and you have another essential collection from the quality compilation specialists.

In practice, that means hits by Fugees, Usher, Toni Braxton, Brandi & Monica and En Vogue sitting side by side with Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, the formative house brilliance of Ten City, the UKG-adjacent exploits of Craig David and Blazin' Squad, the pop-tastic songs of Pussycat Dolls, Cleopatra and Britney Spears, the street soul of Soul II Soul, and the tear-jerking reggae brilliance of Dawn Penn.

Review: The Mello Music Group label are masters of intelligent hip hop and so it proves on this new collection, Self Sacrifice. This is a deeply introspective work that speaks with real clarity and strength on how we should live lour modern lives. Each artist's voice is a potent and powerful one with hard hitting beats harking back to raw and early hip hop but plenty of masterful wordplay and ground rebating new sounds. Oddisee, Apollo Brown and yU lead the roster and ensure this is a vital pickup for hip hop heads old and new.

Viktor aka MF DOOM VAUGHN
Vaudeville Villain (Record Store Day RSD 2022) (limited gatefold 2xLP)
Cat: GET 56050LP. Rel: 14 Jun 22
Review: British-American rapper-producer Daniel Dumile drooped his third album Vaudeville Villain back in 2003 under the Viktor Vaughn pseudonym. Most of the cuts are produced by Heat Sensor, King Honey, and Max Bill, who are members of the Sound-Ink label, with plenty of fun-to-identify samples from classic records gone by. The record came about when Doom was working with Madlib on the seminal Madvillainy and an early demo was stolen and leaked. Both went their separate ways and this album is the result of what came next. It's a timeless bit of hip hop with sick beats and sicker bars.

Viktor aka MF DOOM VAUGHN
Vaudeville Villain (reissue) (limited gatefold silver vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: RSE 370LP. Rel: 17 Aug 23
Review: Daniel Dumile is the British-American rapper-producer known best as MF Doom Vaughn. His third album Vaudeville Villain came back in 2003 under the Viktor Vaughn pseudonym and was reissued for Record Store Day last year. That one went quickly off the shelves so here comes another reissue that you should move quickly on as it's timeless hip-hop with sick beats and sicker bars. Most of the cuts are produced by Heat Sensor, King Honey, and Max Bill, who are members of the Sound-Ink label, with plenty of fun-to-identify samples from classic records gone by. The record came about when Doom was working with Madlib on the seminal Madvillainy and an early demo was stolen and leaked. Both went their separate ways and this album is the result of what came next.

Review: UK rap legend Verb T is back with a new album 'The Tower Where The Phantom Lives' which is another brilliantly enlightened and adventurous work from an artist who is no stranger to that across a discography that has already got plenty of gold in it. Lyrically he once again deconstructs and investigates the immediate world world around him with a great sense of self deprecating humour and didactic story telling. Vic Grimes is the man charged with composing the sounds and does so with effortless style across a series of slick beats.

Review: Italian rapper Villabanks is only 21 years old but has a well formed sound. The young Villabanks has dedicated himself fully to rap since the age of 15 and after a load of self-produced singles and mixtapes published on streaming channels and digital stores, the rapper published his first album, Non lo so, in 2019. This follow-up take sin reggae ton, trap, classic hip hop sounds and fresh r&b sentimental and lovestruck. He packs plenty of tracks in here, all of which are short, but together they add up to a compelling listen.

All Are Guests In The House Of God (grey vinyl 2xLP + insert)
Cat: LIT 2301. Rel: 15 Dec 23
Review: Philly's Vinnie Paz came up in the 90s as part of Jedi Mind Tricks, but these days he's more commonly found charging ahead on his own path. His flow is unmistakable, coming on croaky and cranky with an old-soul outlook which reflects on the grittiness of street life with a wise, embittered touch. That doesn't stop the music from brimming with vitality, toying with cinematic scene setting, sharp-angled riffs and plenty of anthemic hooks that speak to his considerable skin in the game. It's hip-hop which isn't concerned with meeting anyone's expectations, adding another potent entry to Paz's ever-swelling body of work.

Review: N.I based beat-maker Violentlyill's full length Iconoclast on Ill Records is an all instrumental affair. It's one filled with treats for fans old and new as well as curious beat lovers as it chews up and spits out plenty of iconic sounds. The dusty boom bap beats are all carefully produced and assembled and though the whole thing is diverse in sound it also holds together as a cohesive listen from start to finish. A multitude of vocal and spoken word samples are sprinkled throughout to make it all the more layered and rewarding with every listen.
