Cheryl Lynn : I didn't mean to turn you on, 1985 - More wild synth funk drums from the magic duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (in these days though) 3.

Nu Skool
- Likwid Biskit : Substance / That's what she said : People Absolute Killer Track! 21st Century Jazz-Funk all the way. - Guiro : Music : Sole Music  Ne-Grove : Jerk Chicken Soul : People Both of these tracks use synthetic 80s funk in an innovative broken house experiment. - Rockin' Pony : 12 Tracks : CDr Promo Dreamy electronics with a quirky touch. Watch out for the full album on Lux Nigra! Thanx to Sasha. - Numbers feat. Doug & Jean Caramouce : No More Room : Mainsqueeze Moogs, breaks, female vox, ... more quality material from the West-London posse. - Kudu : Space / Transit : Bitasweet (Promo 10") Spaced-out broken beat architectures. Produced by Mark de Clive-Lowe, Domu and Seiji! - Afronaught : Shapin' Fluid : Apollo Maybe a bit over-hyped, but this isn't too bad really ... - Sierra Romeo : untitled EP : [FWD: Dark ambient soundscapes on the old-skool tip. - Titonton Duvante : Avenues and Alleways : 2000 Black Freaky blend of electronics and techno in Titonton's incredible style
Old Skool
- Move D : Kunststoff : Source (see review) - PWOG : Record of Breaks : KK Classic album filled with ambient techno in a minimal and dark atmosphere. - Jhelisa : All I Need : Dorado Trademark funky acid-jazz, even in 1993 she already was a very talented producer. - Rubber Johnny : jamrolypoly EP : Warp Very synthetic and experimental view on drum 'n bass. - Mode-M : Cohesion / Space Based : Void Dark. Space. Electro.
All part of the Apollo ambient legacy ...

The "Replenish your backstock before the winter is there" chart
1. Planetary Assault Systems : diesel drudge : Peacefrog Never guessed a genuine techno record to be on top of my list? Well, this early gem by Luke Slater had a jungle atmoshpere to it that just won't let me go. Essential electronics. 2. Jimpster : messages from the hub : Kudos Had a hard time finding this album by downbeat genius Jamie Odell, but the various atmospheres and rythmic experiments this gem offers, make it worth. A very personal approach to ambient, drum 'n bass, broken beatz and carefully selected samples with British accents all mixed in Jamie's Central Brain Hub. Too bad the interpretation of Herbie Hancocks classic 'Maiden Voyage' is one of the less inspired moments. 3. New Sector Movements : groove on : People Get. All. Stuff. On. People. Now. (and forget about the failed semi RnB album of I.G. Culture, all the stuff on People is breathtakingly refreshing, imagine jumping into a pool of ice-cold water after laying in the sun for three hours with butter over your torso). 4. Bullitnuts : 1st of the day : Pork Artists like Bullitnuts, Baby Mammoth etc. etc. made the Pork label one of Britains finest export products (closely followed by Scottish Single Malt Whiskey and Jamie Odell). 5. Willie Griffen : on the dancefloor EP : Farris Wheel Rare Boo/GU production. For people still hungry for real deep house (that are probably close to starvation now). 6. Daniel Ibbotson : Imitation/Stumble : Fenetik Fenetik, a sublabel of Soma, brings delicious jazz vibes that blows away all standard lounge stuffs nowadays with a big... ehm, trumpet blow and funky snare. Definitely wort a thorough check-out. 7. Jimpster : La-di-da (Bullitnuts Remixes) : Kudos If you like the Bullitnuts and you like Jimpster, you'll definitely like the Bullitnuts remixes of Jimpster. It's only a matter of logic. The housy touch in the second version definitely works out fine, a suprising approach to the original chilly La-di-da EP.
