“I don’t have time to listen to your DJ mix. I don’t have time for DJ’s.” The perfect sentiment to accompany this killer piece of incendiary music, which doesn’t pull punches musically or otherwise. Sometimes sounds are so compelling it really doesn’t matter exactly when they were made, they inherently carry that timeless gene with

The message is in the music. Music being the key word here. Playful, jazzy, certainly sassy this hot combination of rhythm and words does so divinely as they celebrate their favourite Portuguese beach club, Yamba. Next is the remix of Ashes of Snow from Clive Henry who explodes the tempo while lending the production a

Something for the weekend? Originally complied and released back in the late seventies this fresh collection now adds additional tracks to the celebratory playlist doubling the output. Numbers like Rockers Nu Crackers by Glen Washington really garb attention while the production values of Price Far I’s heavy-duty Deck Of Cards now seem otherworldly, especially if

In ways Of The Crowd doesn’t seem to quite fit together comfortably.

Mahalo sounds like the party has already started. Dancing with crazy pleasure, lost in a tomorrow of future Jazz incantations, sharp beats and smooth chords talking up soulful yesterday’s while notes melt together celebrating. The title track from this latest collection is, and I seem to be repeating the words again, one of his finest

Drugs Here. Sometimes you need a little shake, rattle and roll. Yet it’s not about connecting fucking dots. It’s about…well, listen. Listen to furious, uncompromising energy fuse through machines that should really know better. Plain but perhaps not so simple. Next, No Time To Lose feels unfeasibly fast and loose punctuated by throbbing bass and

Seeking out the edges of existence isn’t an uncomplicated place to dwell but the subsequent rewards for the listener are temptingly ecstatic. Situated somewhere in between the unseen and unspoken Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock’s exploration of lines drawn and dissipated is as revealing as it is hidden. It sounds like history reverberating around tales of folklore
