Musically, this duo would provide Pakistan with it's Gainsbourg / Birkin or it's Morricone / Dell'Orso for over 20 years, recording squillions of cut-and-paste sonic collages and moog-fuelled desperate love / hate / chase / chill / kill / songs mixing Urdu lyrics with unexpected bursts of user friendly English language (which often elongates the running time passed the 5 minute mark) and throwing in the odd motif from a Barry White or Donna Summer hit.

Hanni El Khatib’s music is as diverse as his ethnicity. Equal parts Filipino & Palestinian, Hanni El Khatib hails from San Francisco, is creative director for skateboard powerhouse HUF & is heavily influenced by the 1950’s. The multi-instrumentalist serves as singer, songwriter & producer for his one-man band (live he is joined by a drummer). With his sinewy guitar and wry, whiskey-glazed voice, Hanni creates malt shop music for those who drink them spiked with bourbon. Hanni’s folky blues reflect his love of the soulful music of Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash & Robert Johnson, but lyrically it’s more like Charles Bukowski with a conscious. Hanni’s debut full-length will be released early 2011 & sounds like a cross between The White Stripes, Black Keys, Johnny Cash & 1950’s Doo Whop.

The French were pretty central to the disco explosion, having given us the word (le discothèque) and the concept. The musicians on Roger Tokarz’ library label ‘Tele Music’, were also some of the main players powering the French disco scene. One such artist is Sauveur Mallia, who is responsible for the library-only Spatial & Co. Series of LPs which this compilation draws from. Some of the tracks on here featured heavily on TV thrillers and space programmes. This is an absolutely essential collection of wobbling analog synth excursions; warm, spacy pads hover over clanging industrial percussion sounds; primitive electro vibes exude from squelching leads, throbbing bass and a robotic beat; and the whole thing is interspersed with a mash of pulsing, popping, thrashing, clanging, crunching, bubbling, aural textures. Fans of electronic music take note, there is literally something for everyone here – it’s a little bit disco, a little bit electro, a little bit industrial, a little bit ambient. Whatever it is, this is an undisputed classic, and sure to sell out quick. Grab a copy while you can!

'Hey Girl!', the first Jo Stance release, introduces a sound that is instantly approachable, and at the same time deep and filled with innovation. This is a gorgeously executed slice of modern soul with crisp drums, subtle guitar work, moody vibes, and stance’s seductively silken vocal stylings. The song's vintage mood is matched by first-rate songwriting and production by Forsti and Makynen, who also play all the instruments on the track. The sessions for the Jo Stance project took place in 2009-10 at Makynen's home studio, and the immediacy of the recordings translates well on the compact, organic groove of the track.Soulful to the bone and with just the right amount of roughness around the edges, 'Hey Girl!' is a winner. In all likelihood, the LP coming up later in 2010 on Ricky-Tick Records will follow suit.

Playful, laid-back and just a little bit cheeky, this is a lovely little mid-tempo groove perfect for those lazy summer days. The flip nods to low-riding funksters in both the Colombian city and its American namesake a bit further up the Pacific coast, playing kinda ruff with a Zapp-esque synbass that tangles with tropical guitar and percussion.

Brand new release on the celebrated Golf Channel label which is already causing interest after a handful of test pressing were handed out late last year.
Dominik Von Senger may be a mystery to most but he's been recording 80's Kraut Rock / Electronic work that are favourites with Kraut-rock and Balearic heads.
Wonderfully melodic, the track takes it's cue from the fertile era of Deutsch Muzika and updates it for the dancefloors of today.

Eglo Records latest signing ARP 101 injects a little star dust and dark matter into some much needed sun powered head nod. Awash with gorgeous, warm pads, glistening leads, and rumbling subs, this is seriously cosmic stuff with a subterranean groove. Dripping in metallic, liquid synths and propelled by a bumping sub, the drums crunch, click and pop like it was bouncing its way down Crenshaw Blvd.

A wicked double sider from Ohio-based group the Jive Turkeys, courtesy of Colemine Records. After a few succesful 45s in the US, this is their first European release, taken from their debut album album "Bread & Butter". This is a seriously heavyweight slab of raw instrumental walloping organ funk. "JT Strut" is a hard-hitting groove that only lets up for a tasty organ lick, before it all comes thundering back together again. "Talkin' That Talk" kicks up the pace just a little bit, with some nice guitar vamps, hard hitting drums and that funky organ!

After two hugely acclaimed albums (2005’s "Arular" and 2007’s "Kala"), the global success of "Paper Planes", Oscar nominations, and that Grammys performance, MIA is back with a brand new album Maya, which sees her as incendiary and forward thinking as ever. Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features production from Rusko, Diplo, Blaqstarr and Switch, a collaboration resulting in dubstep bass and grinding industrial noise being added to MIA’s unique armoury of electro sounds. Just as shouty and in yer face as ever, this is pop music as a polar opposite to the polished sheen of Lady Gaga and Kylie. "MAYA" draws influence from our technologically changing world, now that our every thought and action is documented and posted for everyone to see. The album is an uncensored screen-grab of 2010.

Just in from Austria, this classic Bobby Rush-produced slab of sister funk is a 10th anniversary 45. No-one is messin’ with Ella’s determined grooves, and ‘The Queen’ is an awesomely uncompromising jam from this sovereign sister. The flipside is equally venerable stuff, ‘Too Hot To Hold’ is an ascendant anthem of red-hot female sensuality. Miaow! She ain’t lyin’ either – when Ella opens those monumental lungs she most certainly commands the aural main-line.

Beats with a decidedly Mediterranean flavour here, as Greece-born Andreikelos combines traditional acoustic instruments with abstract hip-hop sounds to create a distinctive blend of old-meets-new. Imagine the sound of ancient-Greece with a futurist vibe; bazouki’s and violins reverberating through the acropolis invaded by the sounds of post-industrial modernity. Head to the flipside for some seriously big, sub-bass dissonance; moody, decaying, dub-step noise contributes a dystopic bent to this otherwise mellow affair.

Not just another load of disco re-edits but a collection of tracks that have had the magic wand waved over them to give them a new lease of life. Dj Steef from France lovingly transforms Black Sabbath's little known 'Planet Caravan' into something truly balearic. Coyote respectfully add a little dubstyle weight to Randy Crawfords 'You Might Need Somebody', while on the flipside, Manchester's 'Be' tunes up Richard Bears 'Sunshine Hotel' and finally, Paul Hardcastle's 'Dolores' gets the Coyote treatment becoming an 80s beachbar anthem.
