Matthew K DJ Chart 13th Febuary 2002
1. 4 Hero: Hold It Down Remixes (Talkin Loud)
West London remixes of the mighty 4 Hero and every one is a gem. With Kaida
Tatham and Bugz in the Attic both on remix duties and a whole slice of vinyl
with Osunlade reworkings, this is nothing short of sublime.
2. Vikter Duplaix: DJ Kicks (K7)
By far and away the best DJ Kicks mix Cd yet. On this vinyl version you get
a stunning collection of future grooves, mostly rare and unrelesead. This is
a must have LP.
3. Zero 7: Truth and Rights (Another Late Night)
A lovely exclusive from their forthcoming Another Late Night compilation.
I'm sure they played this on their recent tour and it is as good, if not
better, than anything off their album.
4. Aqua Bassino: Baby C' Mon (F Com)
Go straight for the Ron Trent mix which reinterprets the amazing album track
into a Body and Soul style anthem.
5. Su Paka Pooh: Sunny Side Garden (Disorient)
Following on from their amazing cover of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, here
we have a full length album from these amazing Japanese producers.
6.Llorca: Indigo Blue - Remix (F Com)
Faze Action give us yet another sublime slice of afro style percussive
grooves that funks up the jazzy stylings of Llorca into a dancefloor killer.
7. Klaus Doldinger: Passport Remix 12" (Warners)
Promo only 4 track vinyl with some amazing re-interpretations of this old
jazz artist. Really going for the Rainer Truby mix but with the likes of
Fauna Flash and Marsmobil also here, this is a must have.
8. The Shiba Experiment: Hanadokei EP (Bambola)
Fantastic future jazz house from Japan. With 3 excellent tracks on offer,
the forthcoming compilation on Bambola should be something special.
9. Telefuzz: Sleep (Upstairs Recordings)
Hailing from Canada, this is one of the most exciting labels around. 3
tracks of synth led chilled grooves from Telefuzz and a bonus track from Ed
Swankz, this will surprise many by its sheer beauty. For those who haven't
heard - check out the 2 awesome 'Deepdown Tempos' compilations from this
label.
10. Femi Kuti: Do Your Best - Remixes (Barclay)
With a special guest appearance from Mos Def and Faze Action on remix
duties, this is the best afro beat release in a long time. Very tasty double
pack.
11. Nu Spirit Helsinki: Album Promo (CDr)
Only 100 in circulation and forthcoming on Guidance, this is already going
to be one of the years best albums and we are only in January. Watch out for
it.
12. Koop: Waltz For Koop (JCR)
Long awaited and finally released, this is a truly sublime album that sets
the pace for 2002. Hopefuly this album will cross over like Zero 7 has, as
it has the potential to be BIG.
13. Funky Lowlives: Remixes (Stereo Deluxe)
While the original came out on G Stone, these 2 amazing dubby remixes from
Boozoo Bajou and Richard Dorfmeister are commissioned to Stereo Deluxe for
their best release in a long time.
14. Mr Hermano: Free As the Morning Sun - Remix (Disorient)
The now legendary 'Free As The Morning Sun' gets a house reworking from
Scumfrog, but its the more chilled tracks on the flip that are getting the
most use for me.
15. Dimension 5: Alien Artform (Delsin)
Yet more stunning electronica from the mighty Delsin label.
16. Fenomenon: Visjon Nord EP (Nuphonic)
One of Nuphonic's brightest hopes give us their second EP after a long wait.
Its worth it though with a varied selection ranging from the jazzy downtempo
grooves, bossa beats and a remix from Compost's Butti 49.
17. Dub War: Murderous Style / Generation (Tempa)
Thanks to Dave at In Spirit for helping me track this label down. Stunning
dubby 2 step that erupts on a loud system. Tempa is the label to watch for
2002, along with the fab Horsepower productions and Ghost crew. This demands
to be heard.
18. Horsepower Productions: Electro Bass (Turn U On)
More dubby 2 step buisness from Nico's new label. This is some of the best
music being made today. Highly recommended.
19. Art Konik: Finger - UFO Mix (Comet)
Straight to the UFO mix for yet more evidence of their mastery at music.
Keeping to a house tempo, this will be a favourite for a while.
20. Various: Make Music (Harmless)
Hard to believe, but this may just be the greatest of all the Harmless
comiplations. Including original tracks covered by the likes of 4 Hero, Zero
7 and Natural Calamity, this shows that todays chill out scene isn't that
far away from some of the late 60's / early 70's more adventurous
productions.
21. Aqua Bassino: Beat's N Bobs (F Com)
The longest wait for a second album since the Stone Roses is over and its
been worth the wait. Here Edinburgh's finest moves on from his highly
individual style to include some jaw dropping vocal tracks. What an album.
22. Su Paka Pooh: Theme De Yo-Yo (Disorient)
More Japanese buisness with a truly amazing re-interpretation of the old Art
Ensemble of Chicago classic. Been floating about on a Flower CDr for ages
now, well done to the Disorient crew for getting this out.
23. Various: Brazilian Beats 3 (Disorient)
The Mr Bongo family continue with their Brazilian series with the quality
remaining as high as ever.
24. Trouble Man: Where We Stand / Lullaby (Far Out)
Mark Pritchard has been on a bit of a roll of late and this is another fine
example of his production skills. This is future music and demands to be
heard.
25. Jazzanova: That Night / Days To Come (JCR)
Long awaited, this is very special indeed. Much more dancefloor than I was
expecting and with Victer Duplaix on vocals, this shows how far ahead of the
game these Germans are. Can't wait for the album.
26. India Irie / Eric Sermon: Bootleg 12" (White)
With a Naked style house mix of Irie's sublime 'Brown Skin' and an
instrumental mix (except the Marvin Gaye vocal sample) of Eric Sermon's
'Music', this will be in the box for a while.
27. Fug: Thin Air (Nuphonic)
A perfect meeting of minds with the delightful At Jazz reworking the
gorgeous Fug. Chilled to the max, this will appeal to all the old soul boys.
28. Slop Shop: Blue Angel (Poets Club Records)
Don't know anything about this crew but features a lovely jazz groover
remixed by Atomhokey, while Sir Brian Eno goes all dark ambient on the flip.
29. Frankie Valentine: Below The Radar (Sunshine Enterprises)
One of the forgotten heroes of the nu-house sound of the mid 90's hits back
with a highly musical long player from the excellent Sunshine Enterprises
label.
30. Subway: Subway Tracks EP (Nuphonic)
Very Idjut Boys sounding, with some of the best house music around. 4 tracks
full of funky rhythms and big basslines.
This chart is sent to hundereds of press publications, magazines, labels,
