| Maxi Singles of the month | |

Groove Collective : Everything is Changing : Naked Music An incredible peace of 90s jazz-funk and deep-house fusion, essential! The Knockheadz : d-world EP : 2020 D Vision Excellent 4-tracker with jazzy & funky stuff. On 20:20 Vision's sublabel for blunted affairs. Pure Filth / Ne-Grove : Should've been you : People With a little help from an obscure 80s Funk track, People proves it is way ahead of most other future-jazz/deep-house. Yann Fontaine Project : Volume One : Expanded Soul Lush deep-house with mid-tempo broken-beats Glenn Underground : Nothing But A Groove : Nite Life Collective Traditional quality, very nice vibes. Rockin Pony : Tibet 01 / Lullaby : Fun 001 Promo (see review) Trevor Loveys presents 2nd Nature : Falling Down (Remixes) : Alola Housy & Funky re-works by House of 909 & NAV for this classic track from the ERA album Spylab : This Utopia : Guidance Dark and mysterious atmosphere with old-skool downtempo beats |

Outspan |
| Rebel's quest for old-skool joy in contemporary grooves | |
| 1. Sunday Brunch
: honung : svek deep tunez from sweden as featured on 'after the rain'. 2. Mr. day : curtis (instrumental edit) : Rotax The sort of advanced lounge house we're upgrading from since standard deep house has become a mainstream gadget. 3. Snooze : your conscience goes bip : SSR Once upon a time....a Belgian triphop genius conceived a masterfull piece of psychic drum'n bass with a superb voice-over...Some time in the future, I would discover it... 4. The knockheadz : d-world : 20:20 vision Long time no see. It's been a while since I added a 20:20 vision record to my collection, but this one something special. A mix of deep-house, electro, funk and r 'n b, you've gotta hear it to believe it. All four tracks are a world of their own, all are cool. This is the format I like. 5. Boo Williams : blowing of the trumpet : Trackmode Boo swings his weight over here again. SJU house jazz à la carte. |

| Martin Circus
: disco circus : 1979 Throttle-down disco festivities featuring flutes, horns, fat bass, freaky people etc etc. Later resampled for the dance hit 'Disco's revenge' but guess what...the original's much funkier! |
