Some grooves are quite jazzy  
1. Frederik Stark : Loungin' : I-Records
- Massive super jazzy deephouze 4 track killer EP. Frederik Stark gives us the state of the art deep stuff. Puts the I-Records label once again head & shoulders above the rest!
2. Jombo Life : Jombo Life EP : ClairAudience
- An omnipresent ultralong stretched moog sound on ez paced deephouze bassline. Check it out!
3. Francois Kevorkian : Time & space : NRK
- The Farley & Heller main mix is dreamy and spacey deephouze with overwhelming subbass, vocoder background sounds and moogs
4. Ultrafex : Music is the only form of life : Shuffle
- Based on the hook of Change and A lover's holiday, a nice wild rework
5. Alton Miller : Vibrations : Distance
- Vibraphonic sounds and sparse garage chants create this deep atmosphere
Retro of the month  
Brass Construction : Watch out : United Artists '79
- A killer bassguitar hook and nice string arrangements added to the typical Brass Construction jam sound and chants make this a superfunk experience
Norman Connors : Captain Connors : Buddha '77
- Instrumental fast paced jazzfunk with catchy hook and always varying riffs
and yes, that moog is driving us crazy one more time. Enjoy!

Rebel's quest for old-skool joy in contemporary grooves
1. Vibraphonic the meter's running : AcidJazz
Down to the Bone with the vibes, classy piece of ninieties jazzfunk.
2. Crazy Penis i am love : Paper
Just a more or less random pick from their fantastic album with a superb 'cruisin'-atmosphere all the way through easy breakbeats, cheesy samples and spacy moogs.
3. Trevor Loveys way back : Alola
The man for House of 909 goes way back. Feeling 'san fran' again...
4. Musique Tropique desert moon : Glasgow Underground
Decent deep house with just that extra touch that makes you want to play it over and over again.
5. Nav roadhouse : Alola
The best drum'n bass track I heard since 'Mash'em Down' by Rude'n Deadly. And I'm talking '95, suckerz.
Outspan's fat bag of raregroove goodies
1. Johhny Hammond cosmic voyager : Milestone
Moogs all the way. Featured on the over-all excellent album 'ForeverTaurus'. Do not underestimate the power of Johnny...
2. Fatback wicky wacky : Ace
Plain crazy dance-floor killer on an ez tempo. From their first (and live) album, this is a classic !
3. Ramsey Lewis gemini rising : Columbia
Ramsey Lewis can do weird things sometimes. The album 'Sun Goddess' is unlike anything else I ever heard. 'Gemini Rising' is unlike any other track on this album. Abstract JazzFunk, something like that...
4. Ubiquity the five flies : Elektra
Fun with funk, having a ball with Roy and his gang. Fantastic trumpet solo that keeps your ears ringing.
5. Maynard Ferguson mellow man : Columbia
On the same album as his monster-funk track 'The Fly', this laidback jazz experience calms you down instantly. Whenever you need it, and it comes without prescription.
