already my favorite jazz album of 2010 jose james - perpetual shows a different side to gideon van gelder, the pianist we already know from tracks like touch on brownswoods soul jazz conjurer jose james lp black magic, and championed by the likes of gilles peterson.

apologies to de la soul, but today, five is the magic number. dan curtins >lifeblood< marks the fifth artist album in mobilee®s ever-growing catalogue. it also happens to be his ninth album, and his first fulllength in three years, which we think is ample cause for celebration.

bbe records proudly presents you the sophomore album of recording artist the berlin based songwriterÕs latest offering of 11 brand new songs recorded over the last year, maintains the continuity of his sound which is a heartfelt blend of laid back pop, soul and dance.

the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional >world music< market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland. the album is testament to the determined work of brooker following several research trips, especially to east africa - kenya and zaire!

house music is about big names and big personalities, and none come much bigger than kenny dope gonzalez. you dont last 25 years in the industry without being short of a bit of talent, and time and time again kenny has proved that he is the man to beat. whether its his pioneering work as one half of masters at work and nuyorican soul, or his more recent endeavours with mass destruction, kennys beats take some serious beating.

motorcitysoul are frankfurt veterans and deep house pioneers matthias vogt and christian rindermann (aka c-rock). a feast of lush melodies and harmonies, lovingly crafted beats and percussion, ambient excellence and smart vocal numbers. on the albums title c- rock explains: >its an elegant word that refers to the way we work and hopefully how our music sounds. were very technically focused yet we aim for our music to have genuine soul and warmth. we also do everything in the studio so technique is the key to that.< .the start/deliver me kicks off the journey into the motorcitysoul sound, enlisting the vocal talents of swedish vocalist ernesto to complement the soulful, summer-tinged house grooves. as the lush chords build and the vocals progress, its clear this uplifting opener is one thatll have you rolling down your car window with a smile on your face. >maybe its a risk to start a house based concept album with such a soulful track but we dont have to justify it, because of the soul in our name<, says c-rock wryly. >space k�tzle< was originally a hit last year on aus music, >space cats< (as it translates) sees matthias and c- rock use their studio expertise to layer together lavish arpeggios and harmonies that treat you to an almost cosmic house voyage. solar is the first >ode to the cinema soundtrack< offering on the album and sees the guys get experimental in the studio with deep trippy keys layered with mad aquatic sounds. .c

superb mandy fabric mix !! must have!!

steve bug - innovator, minimal dance connoisseur, tech house master - though he s been given many prestigious titles, if theres one quality that can be best attributed to steve bug, it would be modesty. its a trait that has followed him throughout his illustrious career, from his early days as a child building guitars out of cardboard, to his early lessons in percussion at school to his beginnings as a mixtape dj to his first productions. despite the fact that hes now largely regarded as one of the founding fathers of minimal - creating his >da minimal funk< compilation over 10 years ago - and one of the most sought-after 4/4 djs booked today, bug remains truly humble when reflecting on the majestic rise from his beginnings as a dancefloor-dwelling clubber in bremen, germany to ruling his renowned dessous/poker flat empire in berlin.

three years after his groundbreaking album >the meaning< (playhouse, 2004) thomas melchior presents his new longplayer >no disco future<. skills and experiences thomas gained throughout the years are innumerous. to mention just a few: along with tim hutton he formed the duos vulva and yoni who were releasing on aphex twins label rephlex, on the us-label reflective, and for german electronica pioneers source records. with his mate peter ford he forms the duos sunpeople and soul capsule (and various others). the new album sounds less microhousy and more homogeneous. slightly spherical soundscapes perfectly unite with discreet vocals building very harmonical structures..
