the opener is a traditional jola rhythm, typically fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming over a kind of skeletal downhome guitar, somewhere between blues and disco. the mboup brothers make a soaring, impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their casamance homeland. then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, edgily spun from a serer rhythm, underpinning mbenes reflective song about parental sacrifice. sama yaye, my mother. both with full instrumental versions.

standout track taken from don ninos latest album >in the backyard of your mind< (released in may), >beats< is about to take over your turntable for good thanks to three new remixes at the crossroads of the indie-pop and electronic music genres.
the original version of >beats< is a freaky and well-balanced piece of folk music. its lyrics are about body transportation and spiritual dematerialization. but in the hands of chloe, turzi and cubenx the beat boxes substitute the drums, the vocals get distorted, the track deconstructs itself as well as the walls fall between the genres.

following on from her much-lauded debut album >quarantine< on hyperdub released earlier in the year, laurel halo concludes both the year and the drama explored in >quarantine< with this new single >sunlight on the faded<. where >quarantine< was dense and beatless, layered and visceral with vocals cutting through intense soundscapes, >sunlight on the faded< is energized and geometric, with lush chords built around hard, sparse drums and laurels harmonized vocals.

as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.
