bugz in the attic release the second single from the inspired debut album back in the dog house,a live favourite and deftly handled cover of yarborough and peoples 1980 bassline heavy dont stop the music. bugz, pioneers of deep and dirty dance music, brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. for dont stop the music former basement jaxx collaborator sharlene hector was given the task of re doing a bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out west london bruk up twist that takes the basslines from p funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of bugz.

infekto (aka rico tubbs) has been turning heads on the funkier floors across the world with his signature sound of heavy, polished beats alongside party rockin bass and catchy hooks a plenty. funky music carries a similar tone to ghetto soul, miami treble, and his last money shot outing, the real funk. funky music also pays tribute to one of our favourite instruments of all time the cowbell. cuz every tune could use a little more cowbell

good song writing and a keen melodic ear set ludo and his new emotive composition apart. hectorine is a womans name and from the sounds of it ludo is in lust. remixes are served up by new school minimalist alland byallo and in house jet setters audio soul project. alland keeps the epic pads from the original weaving in and out of his surgically designed bouncy groove. on the flip asp get down to business with a remix that would’ve been right at home on their seminal community lp. the song is essentially re written with new music and drums. this rendition could almost be mistaken for a track on one of todays fashionable labels except for its lack of dogma and cliché

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

australian producer deepchild drops the second single >no disgrace< from his new album >lifetime<, a dub heavy slab of techno soul featuring the vocals of barbados-born mc ras roni with the usual intricate programming found in all deepchild productions. on the a-side jimpster under his audiomontage guise delivers a remix he concedes to be >fucking slamming, maybe one of my best yet< combining a stripped back techno structure with chunky rolling bass and heavy soul in a devastating dancefloor weapon. deepchild s original is equally at home at london s co-op or vienna s dub club as it is rocking the floors in aus while always and forever shows more of the flavour from the album with a dose of his trademark rich melodic deepness

shake that booty is an ultra minimal and not incredibly mastered jacker with a fairly distorted tom sound and some sporadic delayed laughs and giggles throughout. soul train is, as the title suggests, based around sampled strings from an old disco track the b side is stronger, with crazy edits hyperactive tom patterns and noodling organ riffs

isoul8 aka enrico crivellaro from verona has been on the scene for years and has recently been given the break he deserves by jazzanova who have signed isoul8 to their sonar kollektiv label. give it up is a prime slice of soul jazz and features the vocals of valerie etienne and comes with piranhahead and extended dj mixes

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

the father father remix takes you on a hypnotizing trip inside your bleeding soul. worgull isolates two single lines of oezlem cetins soulful sermon and creates a deep and dark dub version with many references to detroit and old school chicago. a future classic which shares the same vibes as henrik schwarz rework of walk a mile in my shoes. on the flipside is a nice reinterpretation of are we? by tony nwachukwu (attica blues), another friend of the karma boys, which features michelle amadors sweet vocals over a minimalistic detroit flavoured techno jazz excursion keeping the odd waltz time signature of the original and flipping the tune into an atmospheric future shuffle
