J.Blofeld >Cue >Nachtwandler Records. Final Firm but fair mix for 2016, this one took a while due to work and life getting in the way, again low on volume of tunes due to the end of 2016 producing less favourable DnB IMO.

Probably the cause of being distracted with other genre's this year in 2017 as you will see in the next week when i upload my JAN-MAR 2017 Duplex, Ignition and Road Works Mixes. Never fear, DnB has bounced back in 17! Track Listing: 1. Origin & Matt Deco >Day 3282 >Subtitles Music UK 2. Internal >Switch >Onset Audio 3. Origin >Skant >Subtitles Music UK 4.

Review: Brentford's finest pirate radio crew turned BBC sitcom stars have finally made it onto CD. For those familiar with the ebb and flow of their acclaimed People Just Do Nothing series, The Lost Tape is something of a treat. Presented as a non-step Korupt FM broadcast complete with Chabuddy G intro, skewed Steves mixing and rhymes from Grindah and DJ Beats, it's a memorable romp through the history of British garage and grime with a few exclusives and never-before-heard tracks thrown in.

Stylistically, it's eerily reminiscent of many pirate radio mixtapes from back-in-the-day - which, of course, is the idea - but with the added bonus of laugh-out-loud moments amongst the scene anthems from Sunship, Wookie, DJ Zinc, Youngstar, Wiley, Dizzee and the boys themselves. Review: Of all DJ duos currently operating in British dance music, Belfast boys Bicep might be the hardest to pin down (Optimo aside, of course). Certainly, this debut album is not easy to pigeonhole, though it is an enjoyably cohesive listen.

This is largely down to two factors; the frequent use of deliciously colorful and loved-up synthesizer parts, and the duo's innate ability to utilize beats tailor-made for dancefloor devastation. So while keen dancefloor historians may notice sly (and not so subtle) nods to '89 rave, U.S house and garage, Italo-disco, late '90s progressive house, jungle and early British hardcore, the album never sounds anything less than a fine set of Bicep tracks. Expect it to be one of the biggest albums of the year. Review: As usual, prolific dub techno producer Rod Modell has spent much of the last year collaborating with long-term studio buddy Stephen Hitchell under the Echospace alias. Even so, he's still somehow found time to ready another solo album for Soma (his fifth in total for the esteemed Glasgow imprint).

This CD version is presented as a continuous audio journey, with tracks seamlessly segueing into each other to create a hazy and hypnotic sound soup. As you'd expect, it's a hugely atmospheric and attractive affair that dozily drifts between meditative ambience and texture-laden dub techno. Pleasingly, much of the material is more melodious and positive in feel than some of Modell's work, which can often tend towards the dense and claustrophobic. Review: The appearance of a fresh Sven Vath Sound of the Season mix is fast becoming as great a Christmas tradition as terrible office parties, family arguments and Morecombe and Wise repeats.

As with the 17 previous editions, this 18th volume is built around tracks that did the business at Cocoon's annual Ibiza residency. While there naturally darker moments and forays into minimalist techno space, for the most part Vath has delivered a bustling, big room-friendly mix packed with bombastic techno anthems, overlooked gems and slept-on cuts. There's a great flow across the two discs and the track listing, which contains killer cuts from Eddie Fowkes, Villa H2H (an outfit that includes Ricardo Villalobos and Chez Damier), Aubrey, Inigo Kennedy and KiNK, is particularly on-point. Review: Zak Khutoresky AKA DVS1 famously doesn't do many mixes.

It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that he apparently initially struggled to know how to approach this contribution to Fabric's now legendary mix series. Really, he shouldn't have worried. The finished mix - completed using three turntables and a mixer - is something of a gem; an all-action techno assault on the senses with Khutoresky whipping through 29 tracks in less than 80 minutes. Impressively, every track is an unreleased exclusive, with some 16 of these forthcoming on the DJ/producer's HUSH and Mistress labels.

In many ways, it's a near perfect package for those who enjoy Khutoresky's muscular style; certainly, the inclusion of so many unheard gems makes the first listen a genuine voyage of discovery. Review: When Eskimo Recordings approached Bill Brewster with the idea of putting together a compilation exploring his epic record collection, the acclaimed journalist and DJ decided to take a widescreen approach. The resultant collection is vast and predictably on-point, with each of the CDs gathering together tracks on a loose theme ('Post-Punk', 'Balearic' and 'House'). As you'd expect, it's a hugely impressive and eye-opening set, with Brewster serving up largely obscure or long-forgotten cuts that range in scope from trippy, dubbed-out post-punk disco, jaunty jazz-funk, synth-heavy boogie and heavily percussive Afro-disco grooves, to saucer-eyed European synth-pop, the dub techno of Maurizio, Swag's early UK tech-house and the East Midlands deep house bump of Charles Webster's 'A Love From San Francisco' project. In other words, it's a cracker from start to finish. Review: Gregory Porter's rise to superstar status has been built on a string of fine albums that blur the boundaries between soul and contemporary jazz. This time around, he's decided to do something different, delivering a heartfelt and well-meaning tribute to the work of legendary jazz vocalist Nat King Cole.

Musically, there are few surprises, with Porter and his musical collaborators largely recreating the sweeping, string-drenched sound familiar from Nat King Cole's work. Porter is arguably a more powerful and versatile vocalist than Cole - and, yes, we're aware that this is a bold claim - so he somehow gets a little more out of familiar staples such as 'Nature Boy', 'Smile' and 'Mona Lisa'. It wouldn't be a Nat King Cole tribute without some festive fare, so it's fitting to see Porter include a fine cover of 'The Christmas Song'. Review: Habibi Funk has subtitled this tasty label compilation 'an eclectic selection of music from the Arab world'. It's an apt description, because the double vinyl set is little less than a whistle-stop tour of killer cuts from North Africa and the Middle East. Amongst the dirty and driving Morccoan funk (see Fadoul's righteously heavy opener), Arabic rock and roll (the Beatles-in-Timbukto flex of Jalil Bellis), Lebanese disco, Sudanese throw-downs and Algerian floor-burners, you'll find a quintet of previously unreleased tracks discovered during the label's extensive vault-digging explorations around the Arabic world. We can think of few finer introductions to vintage Arabic dance music, to be honest, and would heartily recommend it.

Review: When it comes to horizontally minded, soul-soothing drum and bass, few labels are quite as accomplished as Holland's Liquidity. For proof, check this fourth volume in their consistently fine Escapism compilation series. From the moment it begins with the extended ambient build-up and drifting vocal samples of Flite's 'Between Sky & Sea', you know you're in for a treat. As you'd expect, the emphasis is on rich musicality throughout, with vocal cuts from the likes of Feint and Monrow being joined by sparkling liquid funk workouts from Edlan, Dualistic, Silence Groove and Blue Marble, whose anthem-like 'Feel Good' is arguably the compilation's standout moment. Review: For those who follow the work of British IDM legend Claro Intelecto, the last few years have been frustrating, to say the least.

It's been five years since his last album, and three since he released a 12' single. Exhilarator, his fifth full-length, is certainly well over-due. Predictably, it is also rather good. As usual, it offers a superb balance of dark and intoxicating electro, tuneful intelligent techno, bubbly IDM, glitchy post-ambient soundscapes, deep and bass-heavy techno shufflers and clanking, off kilter experimentation from the Autechre school of electronica.

It's atmospheric, impeccably produced and stuffed full of highlights. In other words, it's another great Claro Intelecto album. Review: Depending on which reviews you read, Utopia is either Bjork's most impressive album for a long time, or an interesting but flawed one. Co-produced by Mute and XL artist Arca with occasional studio contributions from Rabit, the set was designed to be positive and dream-like in tone, with Bjork delivering some of her most romantic lyrics to date. Musically, it's every bit as bonkers and brilliant as you'd expect, with pastoral and classical instrumentation nestling side by side with 8-bit electronics, bowel-bothering sub-bass, folksy textures and wildlife field recordings. It should perhaps be seen as a partner piece to the notably dystopian Vulcinara (2015), offering a more blissful counterpoint to that album's bleak and intense mood. Review: Although fusing modern classical and ambient music has become popular in recent times, Otto A Totland is no bandwagon-jumping newcomer.

As part of Deaf Center, the Norwegian pianist and producer made telling contributions to the style's development as far back as 2004. His debut solo album, 2014's Pino, is also widely regarded as something of an unassuming, modern-day classic. This belated follow-up is every bit as beguiling as its predecessor, with Totland unfurling simple, stripped-back tracks built around his deft and sympathetic piano improvisations and hazy field recordings. It's similar in tone to some of Nils Frahm's work, though it feels a lot more melancholic, distant and atmospheric; all traits that guarantee and emotional listening experience. Review: Alien Stadium is a collaborative project comprised of Martin Duffy of Primal Scream and Felt, and Steve Mason of The Beta Band. 'Livin' In Elizabethan Times' is an audacious and oddball cosmic rock concept mini-LP about a comically underwhelming invasion of drunkard aliens.

As well as the sheer unadulterated fun of the record, the amount of dense and inventive genre-melting the pair have managed to cram into these four tracks is astonishing - dropping in theremins, sound effects, militaristic horns and much more when you least expect them. They set an interplanetary course from twanging and stomping bluesy opener 'This One's For The Humans', through hypnotic balearic-ish bleep and orchestrated retro-futurist pop, to the huge cosmic disco closer 'Titanic Dance'. At first glance, it's an unashamedly silly and fun offering, but repeat listens will reveal these maverick veterans have woven in far deeper layers of commentary humour and substance.

Review: With 2017 drawing to a close, festival organizers turned record label Liquicity deliver their round of the year's best drum & bass tracks. While their style naturally tends towards the 'liquid D&B' end of the spectrum, this collection is far more wide-ranging in tone than you might expect. So while there are of course plenty of melodious, head-in-the-clouds moments from Hybrid Minds, FD (brilliantly remixed by Calibre), Kamo & Crooked, Faint and Mohican Sun, the non-stop 33-track mix also boasts a swathe of soaring vocal anthems, synth-heavy smashers, EDM-influenced radio hits and even a dash of punchy jungle revivalism (Smooth's soulful and evocative 'My Feeling'). Review: Since making his debut in 2014, Moscow-based Bert H has rapidly become one of the rising stars of soulful drum & bass.

His punchy, melodic and rolling productions have previously been showcased on a dizzying array of singles and EPs. Here, he finally delivers his debut album, a vibrant and colourful romp heavy on collaborations with fellow Russian soul-junglist High N Sick and like-minded producers Monroe and Silence Groove. He barely puts a foot wrong throughout, delivering weighty but ear-pleasing tunes that offer a superb balance between melodious musicality, attractive dreaminess and funk-fuelled D&B heaviness.

In other words, it's a hugely enjoyable first full-length that gets better with every listen. Review: Here's something to set the pulse racing: a collaborative debut album (on Sound Signature, no less) from London broken beat veterans Dego and Kaidi Tatham. As with their previous joint releases on 2000 Black, Rush Hour, Eglo and, of course, Sound Signature, it's the duo's love of rich, jazz-fuelled musicality, sun-kissed melodies and loose, languid rhythms that shines through. There are naturally nods towards disco, boogie, jazz-funk, Afrobeat, hip-hop and classic 'bruk', with a stellar cast list of guest musicians and vocalists swinging by to lend a hand. If Herbie Hancock decamped to Ladbroke Grove and made an album with Bugz in the Attic, it would probably sound like this. In our book, that's a very good thing indeed. Review: If you're in the market for a beginner's guide to krautrock and 'kosmiche', then the first two volumes of Soul Jazz's Deutsche Elektronische Musik series should be essential listening.

This third volume - the first for four years - should be on that list, too. It arguably goes deeper than its predecessors, combining cuts from pioneering electronic and art-rock bands like Neu!, Cluster and Popol Vuh with tracks from lesser-known artists such as Michael Bundt, Dronsz and Achim Reichel.

Musically, it's also far more diverse than its predecessors, containing as much space-rock and proto-punk as early electronic experimentation and droning alternative rock. As ever, the accompanying sleeve notes from author David Nobbs expand on the story in brilliant detail. Review: We can think of few finer stocking fillers for funk aficonados than this fifth Funk & Soul Club compilation from actor/comedian-turned-radio host Craig Charles. As with previous volumes, the Red Dwarf star and BB 6 Music host has included a mixture of original funk era cuts and recent revivalist gems. In the latter category you'll find a stellar instrumental cover of Rick James' 'Super Freak' by The Traffic, the dancefloor-burning sound of Nicole Willis and the UMO Orchestra and the brilliant boogie revivalism of Australian singer Kylie Audist. In terms of deeper older selections, look no further than the 1973 jazz-funk re-make of Marvin Gaye's 'Inner City Blues' by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express and the Afro-funk explosion that is 'Nawa' by Ginger Baker & His African Messengers. Review: Thanks to his BBC 6Music show, self-styled 'complete package' - comic, actor, radio presenter, DJ and stand-up poet - Craig Charles has become the UK's best-known funk and soul enthusiast.

It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that his annual Funk & Soul Club compilations are extremely popular. This third collection is every bit as potent as predecessors, featuring as it does a riotous mix of heavy funk, horn-totin' soul revivalism, dancefloor-friendly funk breaks (Skeewiff and Stephen Gray), cheeky brass band workouts (Hot 8 Brass Band's famous cover of 'Sexual Healing') and a dash of smooth soul (the effortless Omar). With all bases covered and some killer material, it should be essential listening for all those of a soul and funk persuasion. Review: Before she passed away last year, Sharon Jones spent a couple of months recording what would become her final album with the Dap Kings.

Released posthumously, Soul of a Woman is every bit as good as her previous collaborations with Bosco Mann's revivalist soul and funk band. Naturally, Jones death has added extra poignancy to the album's more melancholic moments (see 'Just Give Me Your Time' and 'Pass Me By' and 'When I Saw Your Face'), but these sorrowful outings are contrasted by a string of rousing soul and funk anthems in her confident and effortlessly soulful style. With Mann and the rest of the Dap Kings excelling themselves in a bid to guarantee Jones' legacy, Soul of a Woman may well be Jones single finest album. It's certainly a fitting send off for one of soul's finest voices.

Review: Three cheers for Berlin club institution Watergate, which this month celebrates 15 years of riverside raving in the heart of techno's liveliest city. To celebrate, they've gathered together two CDs worth of previously unreleased tracks from some of their nearest and dearest. Impressive contributions from resident DJs Matthias Meyer, Tiefschwarz, La Fleur, Cinthie and Jimi Jules are joined by equally inspired workouts from producers closely affiliated with the club, including Ellen Allien, Steve Bug, Hyenah (who has delivered some of the best music on Watergate's label in recent times) and Kollektiv Turmstrasse.

While naturally rooted in techno, there's plenty of variety to be found throughout (think mutations of tech-house, techno, electronica and ambient), making it a fitting celebration of one of Europe's most iconic nighttime venues. Review: When it comes to shining a light on obscure regional disco and boogie scenes, the crate diggers behind Cultures of Soul are rarely beaten.

Their latest killer compilation gathers together little known boogie, electrofunk and J-pop released in Japan between 1981 and 1988. It's predictably brilliant from start to finish, with the squelchy synth bounce and bi-lingual vocals of Hitomi Tohyama's 'Wanna Kiss' and the mid-'80s Madonna vibes of Kaoru Akimoti's 'Dress Down' amongst the highlights. What's perhaps most impressive is the comparative quality of the tunes; aside from Japanese language vocals, most sound like they could have been recorded and released by New York or Los Angeles-based artists, rather than Tokyo ones. As the old cliche goes, this is 'all killer, no filler'. Review: Paul Woolford's second album under the Special Request alias is a very different beast to its predecessor, 2013's Soul Music. While that was little less than a strobe-fired romp through Woolford's early, rave-era influences, Belief System is an altogether more complex and considered affair.

Stretched to 23 tracks over two action-packed discs, the album took three years to produce, contains a number of modular hardware explorations, and features elements of tracks recorded by Woolford as far back as 1993. The sheer breadth and depth of the material is, at times, staggering, as the veteran Leeds producer giddily mixes and matches elements of electro, techno, cinematic soundtracks, hardcore, acid, jungle and experimental electronica. In a word: stunning.

Review: The last ten years have seen no shortage of bands with their delay pedals set to stun intent on capturing an aura of dreamlike radiance. Yet Texas 'pop-noir' troupe Cigarettes After Sex are no ordinary shoegazers, for a variety of reasons - frontman Greg Gonzalez' androgynous and dulcet tones may be part of the appeal, yet moreover it's the quality of the songwriting here, which never falls prey to the style-over-substance traps of their peers. Indeed, this debut is more than enough to justify the considerable hype around this outfit, being a collection of ditties as sultry as they are atmopsheric.

Review: Over the last decade, Hallucinator has carved its own niche in the world of dark D&B, developing a style they call 'drill 'n' thrill'. Fuzzy, forthright, intense and aggressive, with mutant industrial motifs and thrusting, guitar style riffs wrapped around rip-snorting rhythms, it could arguably be described as the drum and bass version of extreme metal. Certainly, this sophomore album is a deliciously full-throttle affair, with the experienced Italian duo refusing to compromise. The result is a thrill-a-minute set stacked to the rafters with punchy club cuts, raging future anthems and twisted, dark-style madness. Review: The appearance of Kompakt's annual Pop Ambient compilation is usually a sign that Christmas is on its way.

This year's edition is naturally as soothing and heart-warming as a glass of single malt beside the fire following a heavy festive feast. Highlights include the neo-classical movements of Chuck Johnson's wintry 'Brahmi', the bubbly electronics of Kenneth James Gibson's 'Destined To Vacate', the cinematic sweeps and layered field recordings of Wurden and Pfieffer's 'Vacate' and the gently unfurling bliss of Yui Onodera's 'Nine Chairs To The Moon', which sounds like an unlikely collaboration between Johnny Nash and Brian Eno.

Those after 'bigger' names will enjoy the fine contributions from the Orb and T.Raumschmiere, though there are far more sublime pieces elsewhere on the CD. Review: Seven albums in, The National have solidified their songwriting with confident nuance, and 'Sleep Well Beast' is another milestone on this consistent band's upward curve. Standout ballad 'Carin at the Liquor Store' waltzes and wanders through melancholic nostalgia and glimmers of hope, exemplifying the sound and storytelling that The National are so renowned and respected for. Small cracks in the concrete gloom appear with the more energetic and optimistic tracks, allowing just enough light in for this masterfully executed album to encourage repeat listens, which will in turn, and as always, provide ample rewards. Review: Fabric has described Mefjus's contribution to their FabricLive mix series as a 'hybrid artist and DJ mix album'. That's because the Austrian D&B starlet has taken the bold step to pack the 29-track set with his productions and remixes. In fact, every single thing featured on the thrill-a-minute CD is his work, even the previously unreleased 'VIP' versions of tracks by the neurofunk heavyweight's peers.

It's a blueprint that guarantees success. While there's plenty of subtle variety and occasional changes in direction, the set is propelled forwards at a furious lick by the Austrian's passion for fuzzy, mind-altering basslines, Blade Runner-style soundscapes, punchy rhythms and fizzing electronics.

As a result, the 80-minute mix seems to pass by at the blink of an eye. Review: The runaway success of Rag 'n' Bone Man's 'Human' single last year has catapulted the previously ignored UK soul man to dizzying new heights. Hot on the heels of his major label debut album - also called Human - his new employers at Sony Music have decided to reissue some of his overlooked earlier material.

Wolves was largely ignored when it first slipped out in 2015, but remains a solid piece of work. A little earthier than his recent material, the nine tracks gleefully join the dots between hip-hop, blues and soul, occasionally with the assistance of special guests (gruff-voiced MC Stig of the Dump impresses on the title track, while Kate Tempest lends a hand on 'Rain'. Review: Writer/director Nick Dwyer's Diggin in the Carts documentary series on Red Bull Music Academy has done much to chronicle the history and global influence of early Japanese video game music.

Hyperdub head Kode9 was clearly a fan, as he's joined forces with Dwyer to put together this epic retrospective of 'chip-era' compositions by Japanese electronic musicians. Game nerds are well catered for (details of which titles the various tracks are taken from are listed on the back cover), though you don't have to pine after early '80s consoles to enjoy the treats the duo has dug up. Naturally sparse and heavily synthesized, the majority of the tracks sound surprisingly good taken out of context (I.E without the games they were created for) and stand up to scrutiny almost 40 years after they were produced. Review: It would be fair to say that excitement has been building since Goldie announced the release of The Journey Man earlier this year. You see, the expansive, double-CD full-length is the Metalheadz man's first album since 1998's patchy Saturnz Return, and is being trumpeted by those who've heard it in full as a triumphant return to form.

It naturally features some sweeping, classical instrumentation, but there's nothing as self indulgent as the hour-long 'Mother'. Furthermore, Goldie has wisely delivered a set of high quality drum and bass that ticks numerous boxes - dancefloor darkness, jungle revivalism, liquid funk warmth - with a string of suitably impressive collaborators (Ulterior Motive, Swindle, Jose James, Natalie Williams, Terri Walker) swinging by to ensure the set oozes soul. Review: This Melbourne-based outfit, notable for containing no fewer than three singer-songwriters in their ranks, are a tonic and a half for anyone who grew up on the Velvets-indebted indie-pop of the '80s - outfits like The Feelies and The Go-Betweens, or the Flying Nun stable - offering a similarly sprightly, sharply perceptive and richly melodic sound as well as a playful freshness of approach.

This six-song collection sees them building on the promise of their earlier 'Talk Tight' with elan, and an almost objectionable amount of songwriting acumen. Few in the current indie milieu are quite so adept at making such a time-honoured sound hit so brand new. Review: When it comes to creating fresh instrumental hip-hop jams out of record label catalogues, Oh No has an impressive track record. The long-serving producer - famously Madlib's younger brother - has previously performed the service for Stones Throw, Miserable Beast Music and Now Again, a label he first worked with a decade ago.

Here he returns with a third set of tracks created from gems in the Now Again vaults. It's a sparkling set, all told, comprising head-nodding beats and musical treats deftly sculpted from obscure, inspired and overlooked jazz, soul, funk and boogie rubs. Those with a good knowledge of the Now Then back catalogue will have fun spotting the samples; everyone else can just sit back and enjoy the producer's brilliant work. Review: Back in the early 2000s, Mark E made his name with a series of re-edits on the Jiscomusic label. Those early explorations - long, loopy, glassy-eyed and chugging - effectively defined his distinctive production style.

He returned to these roots in spectacular style last year, with a series of similarly minded edits under the E Versions alias. Here he gathers together those cuts on CD for the first time, delivering rubs that variously touch on yearning, deep Balearic house ('I Don't Know What This Is'), heavy loop disco ('Child Star', 'The Shoe'), strobe-light, warehouse-friendly tackle ('Mingo') and Madonna ('Magazine', a fantastically chugging, basement-friendly revision of 'Vogue'). Review: Unsurprisingly, Aromanticism - meaning to have little or no romantic attraction to others - is exactly the idea Moses Sumney explores on this stunning debut.

Having written the majority of this album's lyrics in the solitude of remote north American cabins, Sumney's songs about loneliness and distance feel natural and sincere. Throughout 'Aromanticism' Sumney shows off his affinity with vocal acrobatics, leaping from his rasping lower register to achingly dulcet falsetto. Both in his instrumentation and as a vocalist, Sumney strikes a pitch-perfect balance between acoustic and digital, exhibiting his ability to blend the two. Sumney blends passages of spoken word, neo-soul, broken-beat, and the vocal harmonies and movements, cascading with gospel precision, that shone on his 2016 EP. 'Aromanticism' is a powerful and heartfelt opening statement from an artist well worth keeping an eye on in the future. Review: In some ways, the impact of Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's soundtrack to Netflix's Stranger Things was more important than the music itself. Certainly, it helped to reignite interest in synthesizer-heavy TV and movie soundtracks from the 1980s, in the process inspiring a swathe of imitations.

The duo's work on this soundtrack from the recently released second series offers more of the same, delivering attractive, heavily electronic music that subtly doffs a cap to a variety of synthesizer-loving composers and artists. It's naturally cinematic in nature - all the music was written to enhance or emphasize the on-screen action, after all - but far quirkier and head turning than more neo-classical scores. In other words, it's another fine selection of atmospheric synthesizer soundscapes. Review: Say yes! The definitive gossamer Italo floor fuel of Ida No and Johnny Jewel's Glass Candy outfit enjoys an expanded reissue here after over a decade out of print. Nothing but synthetic positivity as both the title track and 'Drumm' stride with an almost marching feel before 'Where Time Sits Still' plunges much deeper into moody new romantic cinematics.

Elsewhere other highlights include the slinky poignancy that lingers from every spacious bass pluck on 'City Lights' and the trembling ambience and pressurised atmosphere of the finale 'Sanctuary'. Review: It seems that Trevor Jackson's vault of unheard Playgroup recordings is even more sizeable than previously thought. Here the veteran DJ/producer delivers a second two-disc compendium of unreleased archival gems, presenting a range of cuts that variously touch on post-punk disco, electro, new wave, P-funk (the brilliant 'Don't Stop (Dub)'), experimental dub disco, lo-fi deep house, deep boogie, skewed dub and delay-laden, proto-house style workouts. Jackson even turns his hand to wonky digi-dub ('In Riddim') and intense, distortion-rich techno ('No Lube') with predictably impressive results. That the quality threshold remains impressively high throughout is testament to Jackson's production skills. Review: Many claim to be 'Balearic' DJs, but few genuinely are. DJ Harvey certainly is, as his triumphant summer residency at Pikes in Ibiza proved.

If you didn't get a chance to check out the lauded veteran in action on the White Isle, fear not, because The Sound of Mercury Rising is almost entirely made up of music he championed over the summer. As you'd expect, it mixes notably obscure or overlooked gems from the distant past (Elkin & Nelson, the brilliant disco mix of Eighth Wonder's Pet Shop Boys' produced 'I'm Not Scared', the Spanish-themed disco of Van McCoy, a killer Tony Esposito cut, and so on) with more recent fare that have tickled Harvey's fancy (the Idjut Boys, Gatto Fritto and the producer's own Locussolus project).

Review: Between 1980 and '84, Duomo Sounds Ltd released some of the most inspired disco and boogie to come from Nigeria. This fine compilation from Odion tells the story of the label via a selection of the Humphrey Aniakor-founded imprint's finest moments. Although fuzzier and more lo-fi than the American and European records that inspired them, with the distinctive grooves of Afro-beat and Afro-funk never far away, the vast majority of these tracks are every bit as weighty and floor-friendly. Highlights include Mike Umoh's immaculate 'Shake Your Body', the Moog-laden Christy Ogbah slow jam 'Aimiugwah', the Clavinet-happy bounce of Bindiga's 'Perfect Disco Machine' and the celebratory silliness of Johnny O's festive 'Bazz Xmas Eve'.

Review: It's been a long time between drinks for John Maus, the former college roommate of Ariel Pink with a fondness for blending baroque 'modes' and moody, often lo-fi '80s synth-pop. Screen Memories is the producer's first new album since 2011, and glistens from start to finish. After opening with the grandiose synthesizer soundscapes of 'Combine' (think Handel on Fairlights, and you're close), Maus delivers a range of atmospheric instrumental and vocal synth-pop gems dripping with Italo-disco style arpeggio lines, John Carpenter flourishes and decidedly cheap, lo-fi drum machine rhythms. At times, such as on 'Teenage Witch', he sounds like 'No More Heroes'-era Stranglers jamming with Com Truise, at others - see 'Touchdown' - like Gary Numan circa 'Cars'. It's an intoxicating and entertaining blend. Review: The bass-heads at UKF firmly believe that 2017 has been a golden year for drum and bass. To prove the point, they've put together this fine annual-style retrospective compilation.

Featuring a whopping 23-tracks (including both crossover hits and underground anthems) from the cream of the D&B crop, the compilation does a fine job in representing the various sides of the sound (think liquid, tech-step, disco D&B, soulful summer scorchers, old school jungle revivalism, and so on) over the course of 80 action-packed minutes. Throw in a smattering of previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Hybrid Minds, Flite and Memtrix, Drum & Bass 2017 is a fitting celebration of the last 12 months in 21st century jungle. Review: Characteristically stylish and cerebral here on her sixth album, Laura Marling has always seemed like an old head on young shoulders, writing songs rich in detail and emotional complexity. These songs are scripted as an exploration of femininity, and walk her usual balance between delicacy and fortitude, replete with hook and words that lodge themselves in the recesses of the consciousness. Part folk tradition, part Laurel Canyon songcraft, yet her mellifluous and effortlessly mature tones further marking her out as a uniquely potent proposition, and 'Semper Femina' is the sound of Marling firing on all cylinders in the tastefully understated manner that only she knows how. Review: Last year, Jackpot Records reissued the legendary 1973 debut album from Mustafa Ozkent, the wild, obscure and hard to find psychedelic funk-rock set Genclik Ile Elele.

This renewed interest in his career seems to have spurred the guitarist and producer into action, because he's finally laid down a follow-up some 44 years later. Excitingly, it's also rather good. Recorded with the assistance of a seven-piece backing band made up of younger Turkish talents, Funk Anatolian offers a hot-to-trot mix of exotic occidental funk, psychedelic jazz-funk, blistering funk rock, kosmiche-influenced workouts and percussion-heavy jams. It's a blisteringly good set, with Ozkent's superb guitar solos being joined by similarly exciting organ, synthesizer and bass wig-outs. Review: Three years on from the release of his last Private Collection compilation, British jazz survivor Kev Beadle returns with a third selection of little-known 'independent jazz' from the 1970s and '80s. As usual, it's a pleasingly varied affair with a clear dancefloor focus. Beadle, a man with an enviable record collection, variously showcases South American jazz-funk fusion (see Banda Metalurgia's fantastic 'La Em Guayaquil' and Francisco Mara Catlett's thrillingly upbeat, 'Brazilian Love Affair' style smasher 'Samba De Amor'), Nat King Cole style smoothness (the Leon Thomas voiced 'Little Sunflower' by Louis Hayes Group), dazzlingly positive extended workouts (Clarice Lebbe and Charlie Hampton), heavy percussion jams (Finn Savery Trio) and confirmed jazz-dance classics (the soul-jazz stomp of Webster Lewis).

Review: There's something of an 'all-star' feel to this latest collaboration between Pete Tong and the Heritage Orchestra. It boasts a stellar line-up of guest vocalists, whose presence compliments the superb orchestral arrangements by conductor Jules Buckley and the thumping beats and samples provided by the veteran Radio 1 DJ. For those of a certain vintage, there's something wonderful about hearing soaring, orchestrated versions of such White Isle anthems as 'Body Language', 'Rej' (presented in a brilliant medley alongside killer renditions of 'The Man With The Red Face' and 'Yeke Yeke') and 'You Got The Love' (the latter featuring a guest spot from original vocalist Candi Staton).

Review: Astonishingly, the 'awesome mixtape' soundtrack to Marvel's first Guardians of the Galaxy film was one of the best-selling vinyl albums of 2014. With the second movie now packing out cinemas, the time has come for the superhero tag-team (or, more specifically, the film's producers) to release another selection of 'awesome' tracks. A quick glance at the tracklist confirms the presence of a string of '70s rock anthems - think ELO's 'Mr Blue Sky' and Fleetwood Mac's iconic 'The Chain' - alongside gentler fare from the likes of George Harrison ('My Sweet Lord', a track that famously landed the former Beatle in court on a charge of plagiarism) and Cat Stevens (the timeless 'Father & Son'). Review: Since debuting on Bromance in 2013, Kaytranada has become one of the leading lights on the future R&B scene. Given his track record, it's understandable that there's plenty of hype surrounding 99.9%, his long await debut album. The 15-track sees him showcasing the depth and variety of his beat making, production and compositional skills.

Thus, the string-drenched jazziness of 'Bus Ride' is followed by the off-kilter R&B pop of 'Got It Good', and the Onra-ish synth-hop soul of 'One Too Many' sits side by side with the double bass, Rhodes and Latin-influenced beats of 'Despite The Weather'. It's pretty expansive, clocking in at 15 tracks deep, but the quality never dips throughout. Review: When they delivered their stupendously sample-heavy debut album, Since I Left You, back in 2000, The Avalanches were tipped for big things.

For some reason, they failed to capitalize, all but fading from view. That album remains a much-loved listen for many people so there has been an expected degree of anticipation regarding this follow-up, Wildflower. Happily, it's something of a resounding success, with the Melbourne trio serving up another whirlwind trip through sample-heavy, hip-hop era psychedelia. At 21 tracks deep, and with more changes of direction than your average three-week cycle race, it's something of a beast. It is, though, well worth the effort, as repeat listens simply uncovers more layers of hazy, glassy-eyed goodness (be it bluesy trip-hop, slipped disco, dreamy acid-pop, folksy beat-scapes or baked hypno-rock). Review: Twenty years ago it sounded like an oddly poignant evocation of pre-millennial tension. Two decades later it stands as an eerily prescient glimpe into the technological alienation and dislocation of of a new era.

Yet more importantly, OK Computer is no more or less than a sparkling, dramatic and moving collection of songs that haven't lost any of their impact in the interim. The sound of a band stubbornly refusing to follow up the stadium-strafing stylings of its predecessor The Bends - and instead bursting headlong into experimentation and wild creativity -is portrayed in still more vivid colours by the alarmingly strong collection of out-takes and B-sides collected herein, Yet there's no getting away from the chill and spark that marked out OK Computer from everything surrounding it in the post-Britpop malaise, and continues to do so in the pre-Brexit counterpart. Review: In the four years since his debut album as King Krule, south Londoner Archy Marshall has been busy as solo artist, collaborator, rapper and producer. He now returns with 'The OOZ', an expansive record that's densely packed with disparate musical influence, dark and personal storytelling, and Marshall's distinctive sneering charisma, all framed in his usual backdrop of seedy urban vaudeville.

It's an incredibly layered album that offers the listener a guided tour through this disturbing and decayed landscape of atmospheric smoky jazz, grunge and ambient. Even at nineteen tracks with a runtime of just over an hour, The OOZ is something of an epic that never feels overdrawn, by dint of its richly illustrative, engulfing and transportive nature.

Review: It's rare that an electronic album is the biggest album of the year, or at least the most hyped. That's certainly the case with Syro, Richard D James first official release under his Aphex Twin moniker for some 13 years. So, is it in any good? For starters, it sounds like an Aphex Twin album. Listen through to the 12 tracks, and many of his familiar staples are present - the 'Digeridoo' era rave breakbeats, the mangled synth-funk mash-ups, the intoxicating ambient-era melodies, the warped basslines and the skittish drill & bass style rhythms. There's madness, beauty and intensity in spades. In other words, it's an Aphex Twin album, and - as so many have pointed out since the album's release was announced - there's no-one else quite like Richard D James.

Review: Since first emerging on Hotflush at the tail end of the last decade, Mount Kimbie has navigated the post-dubstep landscape better than almost any other act. It says something about their transformation into hard-to-define electronica heavyweights that Love What Survives, their third full-length and second for Warp manages to be both surprising (there are subtle nods towards titans of post-punk pop and rock, for starters) and exactly what you'd expect. They're masters of fusing disparate styles, sounds, textures and beat patterns into beautiful hybrid shapes, and this kind of 21st century fusion is evident throughout. Naturally, there are a few notable guest appearances dotted throughout, with James Blake's two contributions amongst the album's many highlights. Review: Black Sands, the eagerly anticipated fourth album from Simon Green AKA Bonobo, is no revolutionary change from his signature sound but does come with perhaps even more subtlety and complexity than his previous offerings.

Having constantly instilled a degree of integrity and value back into chill out music following the influx of Cafe Del Mar and Coffeeshop compilations, Green once again displays a musicianship that sets him apart as a true artist and producer amongst a sea of downtempo and chillout DJs. His undeniably clear understanding of composition and arrangement of live instruments has enabled Green to make an album that reaches out through diverse styles, taking influence and inspiration from wherever possible. On Black Sands, Green delves into electronic music and bass more than he did across Animal Magic, Dial 'M' For Monkey or Days To Come but does so with enough subtlety and finesse to refrain from causing a radical shift in his product. Tracks like 'Kiara,' 'We Could Forever' and 'All In Forms' all utilise beats and bass in a more contemporary outlook than we are used to with Bonobo.

Of course the instrumental feel is still there for all to see. Title track 'Black Sands' takes this position for almost seven minutes of a horn infused waltz whereas 'Kong' assumes the traditional soul-jazz Bonobo take and 'Animals' lets delicate drum patterns guide us through pleasing tempo shifts. The instrumental vibe is highlighted further in the album's approach to vocals. Unlike his last album, Days To Come which was littered with vocals, Black Sands houses only three tracks that contain vocals.

The breathy vocals of Andreya Triana complete tracks like 'Stay the Same' and 'The Keeper' turning them in more traditional songs. Black Sands is another loving crafted offering that uses orchestral arrangements but this time merged with more of a dance aesthetic.

As he continues to make chillout more credible in his experimental way, it's no wonder that Bonobo is one of the biggest artists to come from the excellent Ninja Tune. Review: Ostgut Ton has been trailing Steffi Doms' third album, World of the Waking State, as a departure for both artist and label.

Certainly, it's an altogether more considered, complex and musically expansive set than its' predecessors. It's rich in evocative electronic soundscapes, whose scuttling rhythms look to IDM and vintage 'intelligent techno' for inspiration.

The assembled musical elements - think bubbly and occasionally wonky electronics, sweeping synthesized strings, deep space chords and Motor City melodies - often tend towards the heart-aching and melodious, lending the set a genuinely poignant feel. When Doms decides to change tack and head towards the dancefloor - see the ghostly, industrial electro assault of 'Mental Events', sparkling positivity of 'Cease To Exist' and bustling, intergalactic title track - the results are equally as inspired. Review: This release marks something of a departure for Athens of the North, a label predominantly known for reissuing ludicrously rare funk and soul sevens. For starters, it's a brand new album, written, performed and produced by jazzman Greg Foat and Warren Hampshire, who's best known for being a member of The Bees. Then there's what it sounds like. While there are nods to the organic, immaculately produced soul of Rotary Connection, for the most part Galaxies Like Grains of Sand is a luscious fusion of hazy, Cinematic Orchestra style jazz, folksy downtempo compositions, and the blissful, head-in-the-clouds bliss of new age influenced ambient. Surprising or not, it's an utterly beguiling album.

Review: According to Athens of the North's useful liner notes, Penny Goodwin is Milwaukee's 'unsung queen of jazz'. Accompanied by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she recorded her one and only album, Portrait of a Gemini, in 1974.

Since then it's become something of an in-demand item, hence this timely CD reissue from Euan Fryer's laudable imprint. It features a mix of original songs and covers - including a fiendishly up-tempo jazz interpretation of Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' - with Goodwin's impeccable, emotion-rich voice coming to the fore. Musically, there are as many nods to conscious soul and Hammond-heavy funk as classic jazz, but that's no doubt part of the album's enduring appeal.

Review: Soul Jazz Records has investigated the World of New Orleans funk - arguably the original variant of the style - on numerous other occasions - but it's a sound that's always worth revisiting. This edition covers 26 years between 1951 and '77, combining early rhythm and blues workouts from the likes of Gus 'The Groove' Lewis and Dave Bartholomew, with later material from such New Orleans luminaries as Chocolate Milk, Johnny Adams, Eddie Bo and Zilla Mayes (whose torch song 'All I Want Is You' provides a fitting conclusion). As usual, Soul Jazz has included a brilliantly comprehensive 44-page booklet, inside which you'll find heaps of historical information, and original photographs sourced from the Ralston Crawford New Orleans Archive. Review: The tireless Emotional Rescue dig once more into the well of cultish music from days gone by with a fully remastered reissue of Whichever Way You Are Going You Are Going Wrong, the debut album from brotherly duo Woo. Originally released back in 1982, this thirteen track set finds Mark and Clive Ives delivering a hugely ahead of their time exposition of hard to categorise electro acoustic folk. This hugely prolific pair was once described as 'sounding like the music the Durutti Column would have made with Penguin Cafe Orchestra if produced by Brian Eno' and whoever came up with that obviously had Whichever Way You Are Going You Are Going Wrong in mind. Review: Over the past two years, Belgian techno imprint Token has grown to become a label of importance equivalent to the likes of Delsin and Ostgut Ton.

Aphelion is the label's second multi-artist collection, and gathers together exclusive and unreleased material from some of the scene's heaviest hitters. Lucy, Planetary Assault Systems and Surgeon are all present, with the latter's surging, sci-fi themed 'Fixed Action Pattern' being one of the CD's clear highlights. To be fair, the quality threshold is high throughout, with the loose, acid-flecked bounce of James Ruskin's 'No Trace' and Inigo Kennedy's 'Arcing' - all locked-in Jeff Mills rhythms and glacial melodies - standing out.
