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.

Review: Edan's Beauty and The Beat is a classic of the genre from back in 2005. It's a fusion of rap and hip hip styles that are all rooted in the classic era of the 90s but with some contemporary production flourishes. Edan's psych-influenced beats and wide array of well chosen samples are draw from all manner of genres and are carefully worked into funky beats that range of raw and hard hitting to more laid back and sun kissed. A range of guest MCs such as Percee-P, Dagha, Insight, Mr Lif and more all help add their own colour .

Review: As the story goes, Will Dorey's Skinshape project grew out of a love for "old music and the way it sounded". And while his discography suggests he's only been releasing music for some six years there's no denying the raw, dusty and retroactive fidelity of his recordings. Mixed entirely by Dorey, the Englishman's embrace of yesteryear takes in a particular blend of psychedelic rock and folk that meets with touches of jazz, soul and classical, with a range of subtle echoes, dub delays and reverberations added to the mix. Take "Penny In A Well" and "Hurry & Enjoy" for example, two of the shorter tracks on the LP but flying examples of Dorey's creative versatility. Kick back and enjoy!
